Prophecy, prophets and the problem of truth in Latin late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages
No full textBetween the 4th and 9th century AC, many Latin Christian thinkers explore the nature and possible definitions of ‘prophecy’ from a philosophical point of view. The two main theories are found in the works of Augustine of Hippo and Gregory the Great, who agree on the idea of prophecy as «divine message», but diverge on the role of the prophet, who for the former is an interpreter with an active role, for the latter is a medium of the message rather than its author. Gregory’s theory seems to be more common – being more easily understandable – in the Early Middle Ages.
All thinkers quoted in the essay (apart from Augustine and Gregory, Cassiodorus, Isidore of Seville, Alcuin of York and Rabanus Maurus) also deal with the problem of truth in relation to prophecy and prophets: is there a criterion with which to establish with certainty who is a real prophet and who is a false one? This article attempts to demonstrate, on the basis of the De doctrina christiana of Augustine and of the Liber visionum of Othlo of Sankt Emmeram, that one of the signs of the truthfulness of a true prophet could well be the nature and form of language he uses

Profezia di stato nell’ecclesiologia politica del Leviathan
No full textIl contributo verte in particolare sul modo in cui Thomas Hobbes tratta nel "Leviatano" il tema della profezia e dei profeti, nel contesto di un discorso più ampio, volto a illustrare la peculiare prospettiva ecclesiologica adottata dal pensatore ingles
Paracelso, i < tria prima> e la teologia trinitaria
No full textIl saggio prende in considerazione il complesso quadro teorico di riferimento di T.B. von Hohenheim detto Paracelso, una delle figure più emblematiche del Rinascimento. Dopo aver fornito un quadro di ordine storiografico il saggio studia la concezione paracelsiana di Dio, in particolare la questione della Trinità. Il trinitarismo teologico di Paracelso viene messo in relazione alla sua teorizzazione di tre principi (sale, zolfo e mercurio) come elementi primi della materia. In tal modo si cerca di mostrare me interazioni tra teologia e filosofia naturale nel pensiero di Paracelso
Il posizionamento di impianti in siti infetti come alternativa al trattamento endodontico secondario : revisione della letteratura
No full textObjectives
To perform a literature review in order to evaluate the clinical outcomes of restorations supported by implants placed immediately after extraction in endodontically infected sockets.
Materials and methods
A MedlineTM and EMBASETM search was performed on articles published from 1966 to April 2009. A minimum of 6 month follow-up was required.
Results
Immediate implant placement after extraction of teeth with endodontic infection, performed after careful socket debridement, can be considered a viable technique. The reported survival rates are similar to those reported for secondary endodontic treatment.
Conclusions
Since the clinical reports on this topic are scarce, the level of evidence is low and the follow-up period is limited, more well-designed studies are required in order to assess relevance of this treatment alternative
I lembi per la preservazione della papilla in chirurgia parodontale
No full textLa terapia chirurgica rigenerativa, eseguita succes- sivamente alla terapia parodontale causale, mira alla rigenerazione di difetti parodontali con o senza l’applicazione di sostituti ossei o materiali in grado di indurre la rigenerazione parodontale.
Le tecniche chirurgiche sono state sviluppate per consentire tale rigenerazione e per limitare l’impatto dell’intervento a livello del paziente.
In questo lavoro vengono revisionate le tecniche per la preservazione della papilla interdentale applicate a chirurgia parodontale rigenerativa descritte in Letteratura. La Letteratura ha dimostrato una notevole efficacia delle tecniche di preservazione che portano a un miglioramento significativo dei parametri clinici. Ciò è stato descritto sia in numerosi studi randomizzati sia in revisioni della Letteratura.
In conclusione, la preservazione della papilla interdentale è una tecnica oggi con ampie indicazioni cliniche in chirurgia parodontale e può consentire un notevole incremento dell’efficacia delle procedure di rigenerazione parodontale
Il sogno di Giacobbe e la conoscenza profetica in Mosè Maimonide
No full textThe article focuses on Maimonides’ political philosophy (and theology of history), taking the cue from his interpretations of Jacob’s dream (Gen. 28, 12-14), as presented in Mishneh Torah, Yesodei ha-Torah (7, 3), in the Epistle to Yemen, and in the Guide (Introduction; I, 15, II, 10). Key-themes (such as the nature of prophecy, messianic redemption, and our knowledge of physical and metaphysical realities) are addressed by comparing Maimonides’ approach to Midrashic and Talmudic traditions, to the ‘Platonism’ of al-Fārābi, and to ibn Bājja’s ideal of solitary life. Finally, Maimonides’ Jacob (a philosopher and prophet) is put vis-à-vis Yehudah ha-Lewi’s Jacob: the last single individual who was in direct contact with the divine power, before begetting the Twelve Tribes
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
