Being Merciful with Oneself
Get PDFWorking in a psychiatric clinic with a clear Christian profile, one ethical question in our work is how we can integrate forms of psychotherapy that have been developed in a context of secular relativism, like psychoanalysis or behavioural therapy, or more modern forms of therapy in a context of a certain kind of western «esoteric Buddhism» into a Christian world view. I want to demonstrate, that it is not only possible to use these forms of therapy in a Christian context, but that Christianity also highlights and promotes these forms of therapy. Psychotherapy is essentially dealing with one’s own soul. These forms of therapy can help us in our spiritual growth and inner healing, especially through simply «accepting» ourselves . Christianity takes us to the next level by adding «mercy»

Cenni sulla centralità del pulchrum nell’intreccio dei trascendentali in Gadamer
Get PDFSummary: This reflection takes its point of departure from the final part of Truth and Method, where Gadamer associates the transcendental notion of beauty, as it had been elaborated by Plato, with his universal hermeneutic. Beauty and goodness are shown to be united in Gadamer’s reflection on Philebo, thereby demonstrating, according to Gadamer, the ontological function of beauty as mediation between idea and phenomenon. In the end, this mediation makes it possible to establish an analogy between beauty and language in terms of their capacity for mediation: beauty is the mediation of the good, which in itself is inaccessible, in the same way that linguistic understanding is the mediation of the truth, which in itself is inaccessible. Consequently, Gadamer’s reflection on beauty appears to be united to that on the good and on truth.
Key words: Gadamer, beauty, good, truth, language, Philebus, language, mediation.
Parole chiave: Gadamer, bello, bene, verità, linguaggio, Filebo, linguaggio, mediazione
Specificità dell’arte sacra cristiana
Get PDFSummary: The article is an expanded version of a speech given at an International Sym-posium of University Professors, in 2011. It presents the essential elements of the Chris-tian concept of sacred art, which, in a nutshell, correspond to the derivation of Christian sacred art from the faith in the incarnated Logos (Who is also the Creator of everything), with all its theoretical and practical implications. The presentation of this central aspect is preceded by a synthetic overview of the philosophical concept of beauty and art, and followed by a short consideration of the present state of sacred art in the Catholic Church and of the means to heal the present state of infirmity of Catholic sacred art.
Key words: Sacred Art, Beauty, Aesthetics, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Thomas Aquinas, Ratzinger, Magisterium, Patronage of the arts.
Parole chiave: Arte sacra, Bellezza, Estetica, Platone, Aristotele, Plotino, Tommaso d’Aquino, Ratzinger, Magistero, Mecenatismo
Il concetto di conformità nell’opera di S. Tommaso d’Aquino
Get PDFSummary: This article studies the concept of conformity to the Divine Will in the work of St. Thomas Aquinas, by means of a semantic and theological analysis of the following terms: uniformity, image, likeness, sequela Christi, and conformity. The concept of conformity is considered particularly in relation to the expression “Will of God”, and in this way, one comes to understand the weight of the doctrine of the conformity of the human will to the Divine.
Key words: conformity, uniformity, configuration, image, likeness, sequela Christi, Divine Will, human will, Alter Christus, holiness.
Parole chiave: conformità, uniformità, configurazione, immagine, somiglianza, sequela Christi, Volontà divina, volontà umana, Alter Christus, santità
