¿Quiénes son los Padres de la Iglesia según Vicente de Lérins?
Get PDFSummary: This article discusses the notion of what it means to be a Father of the Church as it was accepted and developed in a fifth century document called the Commonitory. This document was a sort of doctrinal and practical manual to distinguish Catholic truth from the errors of heretics. The author, Vincent of Lérins, based himself on the experience he gathered from the Fathers, who were approved and recognized by the authority of the Church, in order to deepen and carry out his theological method. From the various writings studied, the essence, and the principal and constitutive features of what is implied belonging to the Fathers emerge, of what it is that distinguishes them as the spiritual masters of all Christian generations and indispensable points of reference for the life and doctrine of the Church.
Key words: Fathers, Church, doctrine, orthodoxy, heresy, master, doctor, writer.
Sommario: il presente articolo studia la nozione di “Padre della Chiesa” raccolta e sviluppata in uno scritto del V secolo, il Commonitorio, una sorta di manuale dottrinale e pratico per individuare e distinguere la verità cattolica dagli errori degli eterodossi. L’Author, Vincenzo di Lérins, si basa sull’esperienza imparata dai Padri approvati e riconosciuti dall’autorità della Chiesa per approfondire e svolgere il suo metodo teologico. Dai diversi brani studiati, emergono l’essenza e le caratteristiche principali e costitutive dei Padri, come maestri spirituali di tutte le generazioni di cristiani e punti imprescindibili di riferimento per la vita e per la dottrina della Chiesa.

Get PDFSummary: T his s tudy c onsiders St. T homas’ d octrine of t he weakness (debilitas) and the proportion (proportio) of the human intellect, starting from the Aristotelian metaphor of the eye of the owl (νυκτερίδων ὄμματα: Metafisica α, 1, 993 b 9-10). Thomas considers human intellect as ultimate human intelligence, thus full of potential, but far from the intuitive glory of pure intelligence, that only by uniting itself to a body can it find its way in history to its becoming act (per viam sensus; quam magis experimur), becoming a ratio (intellectus rationalis), that, as Isaiah says, “oritur in umbra intelligentiae”. In this way, it determines itself as a possible intellect (intellectus possibilis), linked naturally to the body (intellectus
lealis), which becomes its conjoined instrument (proprium et coniunctum). It remains natured, to come with all beings to their Principle (God Πάγκαλος), but accompanying all of its actions with phantasms drawn from the senses (intelligere phantasticum) and moving from abstract forms to physical things (quidditas rei materialis). The study makes use also of some distinctions proper to Thomas’ metaphysics: being in rerum natura and being in anima, that
which (id quod) is known and the way in which (modus quo) it is known, the intelligible in se and the intelligible nobis.
Key words: Thomas Aquinas, Thomistic philosophical theology, Minerva’s owl, human knowledge, analogy.

Bioethical Responsibility towards Current and Future Generations (Part II)
No full textThe present work provides a theoretical and applied reflection on bioethical responsibility towards current and particularly future generations. After having introduced interrelated key concepts, two partly opposite views will be substantiated by arguments grounded in various realities of human life. The resulting synthesis will aim at reaching the most profound source for man’s real responsibility (Part I). For this purpose, an anthropologically guided path will ultimately lead to the reality of love (Part II). The subsequent applicative part will translate all insights gained to bioethical responsibility within the development and lifecycle of a new medicinal product. More specifically, focus will be laid on two key aspects therein, namely the performance of mandatory clinical trials in the paediatric population and safety monitoring of medicinal products. Overall, this work is intended as sound support to discover and to effectively realise one’s own bioethical responsibility
Corpo, mente, cervello: L’ingresso in ambito forense delle nuove prove scientifiche: l’esperienza statunitense e l’esperienza italiana
Get PDFDa lungo tempo ci si interroga sulla rilevanza delle neuroscienze e, sempre più, sull’influenza e sulla possibile applicazione delle loro metodiche in ambito forense ed in modo particolare nel campo giudiziario. Le neuroscienze, quale branca del sapere medico, si occupano dello studio del sistema nervoso. Per quello che più ci riguarda, esse possono suddividersi in neuroscienze criminali, normative e forensi, queste ultime, quelle che più prenderemo in considerazione nella nostra trattazione
