The Neoplatonic notion of “emanation” implies a required progression through hierarchical stages, originating from the highest principle (the One or God) and cascading down through a series of principles. While this process is deemed necessary, it is also inherently good, even “choiceworthy”, aligning with the identification of the first principle ...

In Islamic tradition, the Falsafa school is well known for its naturalistic account of religion. When Falsafa’s theory of religion made its way to the Latin West, it was embraced and developed into the so-called “double truth theory” in Latin Averroism.

Introduire un colloque lors duquel tous les aspects de l’immunité d’exécution seront ensuite examinés rend cette tâche difficile. Aussi, plutôt que de l’affronter, ces propos introductifs aborderont, sans d’ailleurs les approfondir, quelques aspects de l’immunité d’exécution, substantiels, mais aussi procéduraux, qui peuvent paraître secondaires. L...

This text in front of you is the translator’s review, a case study, but also a deep analysis of tragedy Menelao (una tragedia contemporanea) written in 2016 by Davide Carnevali. The playwright sees în Menelaus an anti-hero with aspirations of a hero: recently returned after an exhausting fight, the king of Sparta finds himself sliding into an exist...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is nucleic acids outside of living organisms found in air, soil, water, and ice. It is shed by organisms through waste and other bodily fluids, as well as cells sloughed off the outside of an organism. eDNA breaks down over time, especially when exposed to UV, heat, and bacteria. Scientists can analyze eDNA to identify orga...

In thirteenth-century philosophical psychology, it is commonly held that the powers of the soul, responsible for a living being’s various operations, “flow” from the soul’s essence. The phrase is used systematically by Albert the Great, who imports it from Avicenna. It suggests that the soul, considered as a separate substance, is ontologically dis...
