• Alberto Magno sobre o tempo e a eternidade do mal
    Patristica Et Medievalia 47 (1): 289-308. 2026.
    O presente artigo tem por objetivo explorar a forma como Alberto Magno conceptualiza a relação entre o mal e o tempo. O ponto de partida é uma citação polémica do Evangelho de João: “Era homicida desde o princípio” (Ille homicida erat ab initio), que Alberto analisa através da análise da ideia de “initium” segundo três significados distintos do termo “tempo”. Esta interpretação permite esclarecer a estreita dependência entre o exercício do livre arbítrio e a extensão temporal. A segunda parte do…Read more

The present study therefore intends to focus on Albert’s analysis of the accurate description of children’s education provided by Aristotle in the 7th and 8th books of his Politics. Two central aspects of the Aristotelian pedagogy (child nourishment and musical education) give the opportunity t…Read more

    Thirteenth-century debates on time are frequently reduced to the opposition between an Ancient tradition, embodied by Augustine, and the Aristotelian philosophy as “physicalist” reading of the problem. However, before the diffusion of the Latin translation of Aristotle’s Physics, notions such as ‘time’, ‘eternity’, ‘aevum’, and ‘present’ have a rich range of meanings and nuances which cannot be considered a mere repetition of an ‘Augustinian model’. A systematic analysis of selected passages of …Read more

Ora, non si tratta di richiedere alle macchine un ulteriore sforzo per comprendere il linguaggio umano, quanto piuttosto di perfezionare gli strumenti affinché esse possano essere a tutti gli effetti collaboratori di ricerca. Questo articolo è concepito come il resocon…Read more

In this way, I will demonstrate that “nobility” is a necessary, key factor for investigating what the real pleasur…Read more

    De origine rerum praedicamentalium is generally known as a work of categorical ontology; nevertheless, the fact that Dietrich of Freiberg attributed to the intellect a peculiar constitutive function bring us to a whole rethinking of the gnoseological thought. With this regard, the analysis of the imagination and of the perception proposed in the last chapter of the work consents to find out clearly the purposes pursued by Dietrich with this peculiar noetic concept.
