A Forgotten Figure of Philosophical Theology: Marguerite Porete
No full textThe Mirror of Simple Annihilated Souls and Those Who Only Remain in Will and Desire of Love is regarded as one of the most enigmatic and influential manuscripts in the history of medieval Christian mysticism. Its author was not known until the mid-twentieth century. In 1946, Romana Guarnieri identified Marguerite Porete, condemned and burned at the stake for “relapsed heresy” in Paris in 1310, as the author of this book. This paper aims to introduce Marguerite Porete, who is one of the most interesting forgotten women thinkers in the history of ideas. It will present the major sequences of her life, recount the rediscovery of The Mirror of Simple Souls by Guarnieri, and focus on its literary structure and certain philosophical themes it contains or implies. These selected themes are as follows: the subversion of the distinction between the learned and the ignorant, the opposition between Reason and Love, a naturalism beyond ascetism, a call for the constitution of a new subjectivity “beyond good and evil” and a concept of annihilation that denies the existence of free will.Trdizi
A Forgotten Figure of Philosophical Theology: Marguerite Porete
No full textLe Mirouer des simples âmes anienties et qui seulement demourent en vouloir et désir d’amour[Yalnızca Sevgi İsteği ve Arzusunda Kalıp Hiçleşen Sade Ruhların Aynası] adlı eser, OrtaçağHıristiyan mistisizminin en ilginç ve etkili metinlerinden biri olarak kabul edilir. Bu eserin gerçekyazarı, yirminci yüzyılın ortalarına dek teşhis edilmemiştir. Le Mirouer des simples âmes’ın,“tekrarlanan sapkınlık” suçundan mahkûm edilip 1310’da Paris’te yakılarak öldürülen MargueritePorete’in kayıp eseri olduğu Romana Guarnieri tarafından 1946 yılında açığa çıkarılmıştır. Bumakale, fikirler tarihinin unutulmuş kadın düşünürlerinin en ilginçlerinden biri olan MargueritePorete’i tanıtmayı amaçlamaktadır. Sırasıyla, Porete’in yaşamından başlıca kesitleri sunacak, LeMirouer des simples âmes’ın Guarnieri tarafından keşfedilme serüvenini aktaracak, ardından daeserin edebi yapısı ve içerdiği veya ima ettiği belli felsefi temalar üzerinde duracaktır. Porete’inmetninden hareketle seçilen bu temalar şöyledir: ehil ? cahil ayrımının tersine çevrilişi, Akıl ile Aşkarasında kurulan karşıtlık, çileciliği reddeden natüralist bakış, iyinin ve kötünün ötesinde diyenitelenebilecek yeni bir öznellik kuruluşuna çağrı ve özgür iradeyi reddeden bir hiçleşme(anéantissement) kavramı.The Mirror of Simple Annihilated Souls and Those Who Only Remain in Will and Desire of Love is regarded as one of the most enigmatic and influential manuscripts in the history of medieval Christian mysticism.

Bilimsel İncelemeye Övgü: İbn Rüşd Natüralizminin Yeraltı Akıntısı
No full textLa corriente subterránea del naturalismo averroísta: en su clásico ensayo de 1952 , con la expresión izquierda aristotélica Ernst Bloch designaba una corriente de pensamiento que bajaba a tierra el nous aristotélico, como la izquierda hegeliana lo había hecho con el Geist de Hegel. La clave de esa interpretación naturalista radical -desarrollada por filósofos-médicos y no por teólogos, enfatiza Bloch- era el interés por las cosas del mundo a partir de una concepción inmanente de la relación materia-forma, que se desvía del mecanicismo a la vez que sustrae a la materia de una pasividad inerte e indeterminada, para dotarla de una potencia activa y generativa de producción de las formas. La forma no es exterior ni trascendente a la materia; emerge más bien de ella (eductio formarum ex materia), que en tanto posibilidad infinita extrae de sí infinitas cosas en infinitos modos, atesorados de manera latente en su pura existencia material. En cuanto natura naturans, la materia es potencia autogenerativa; principio activo que alberga vida y movimiento. Averroes predicaría la divinidad de la potencia, más que la potencia de la divinidad. El presente artículo estudia algunas estaciones del naturalismo averroista en la historia de la filosofía.Fil: Tatián, Diego. Universidad Nacional de San Martin. Escuela de Humanidades.

Ontology and the political absolute: a critical reading of Spinoza on women
Get PDFThe “black page” in Spinoza’s Political Treatise has been much discussed and interpreted. These can be roughly divided into three groups: Approaches that see the “black page” as an extension of Spinoza’s theory of the passions and imagination; approaches that maintain that Spinoza excluded women from politics not because of their innate weaknesses but because of their social conditions; approaches that maintain that he excluded women because he saw them as weaker beings, but this contradicts his certain accounts, especially in the Ethics. In this paper, I take the latter view. My contribution is to argue that this contradiction is not unique to the Ethics. I pursue my reading along two lines, one ontological and one political. In the first, I focus on the continuity between the Ethics and the Political Treatise and show that the “black page” is also inconsistent with the ontology and methodology of the Political Treatise itself. In the second, I argue that the exclusion of women also contradicts the concept of the political absolute developed in this last work, since this concept problematizes any kind of exclusion and provides for political stability the strategic principle of increasing the number of decision-makers as much as possible.The “black page” in Spinoza’s Political Treatise has been much discussed and interpreted.

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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
