    For close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

    THE INFLUENCE OF ARCHETYPES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROTAGONISTS IN HESSE`SNOVELS DEMIAN, STEPPENWOLF AND NARCISSUS AND GOLDMUND

    No full text
    Diplomsko delo opisuje osebnostni razvoj protagonistov v romanih Demian, Narcis in Zlatoust ter Stepni volk, in sicer z vidika teorije razvoja osebnosti Carla Gustava Junga. Osebnostni razvoj Jung imenuje proces individuacije, ki temelji na polarnih nasprotjih zavestno – nezavedno, dan – noč, moško – žensko. Ob tem nastajajo konflikti, ki jih protagonisti obravnavanih romanov rešujejo s pomočjo pretežno ženskih arhetipov, ti pa so produkt kolektivnega nezavednega. Delo spremlja proces individuacije protagonistov in analizira arhetipe, ki vplivajo na potek njihovega razvoja: anima in velika mati sta najizrazitejša ženska arhetipa, najizrazitejši moški arhetip pa je modri starec.The thesis focuses on personal development of protagonists in the novels Demian, Narcissus and Goldmund, and Steppenwolf from the perspective of Carl Gustav Jung’s theory of the development of personality. Jung calls the personal development the individuation process based on polar opposites such as conscious – unconscious, day – night, male – female. These opposites cause conflicts which are solved by protagonists of the target novels with the help of mainly female archetypes – these being a product of the collective unconscious. The thesis follows the protagonists’ individuation process and analyses archetypes which influence their personal development. Anima and the great mother are most distinct female archetypes while the wise old man leads among male archetypes

    Contract Enforcement and Institutions among the Maghribi Traders: Refuting Edwards and Ogilvie

    No full text
    Edwards and Ogilvie (2008) dispute the empirical basis for the view (Greif, e.g., 1989, 1994, 2006) that multilateral reputation mechanism mitigated agency problems among the eleventh-century Maghribi traders. They assert that the relations among merchants and agents were law-based. This paper refutes this assertion using quantitative and documentary evidence thereby vindicating the position that the legal system had a marginal role in mitigating agency problems in long-distance trade in this historical era.** Edwards and Ogilvie constantly present legal actions in non-trade related legal cases as evidence for a reliance on the legal system for matters pertaining to long-distance trade. Their criticism of Greif’s documentary analysis also fails scrutiny. The claim that merchants' relations with their overseas agents were law-based is wrong. This paper is based on quantitative analyses of the corpuses containing the hundreds of documents on which the literature relies and a careful review of the documents and the literature Edwards and Ogilvie cite. Their assertion is shown to be based on unrepresentative and irrelevant examples, an inaccurate description of the literature, and a consistent misreading of the few sources they consulted. In particular, their examples for the use of the court are mainly taken from mandatory legal procedures associated with sorting out the assets and liabilities of deceased traders’ estates. Such examples do not support the claim that agency relations were law-based. The quantitative analysis reveals that empirical basis for the multilateral reputation view is stronger than originally perceived. This paper also sheds light on the roles of the legal system and reputation mechanism during this period.
