Грант № 16-03-12036

В настоящее время в сфере исследований философии и теологии византийского гуманизма XI — XV вв. наблюдается своего рода ренессанс. И если прежде основное внимание учёных уделялось искусству и литературе эпохи, с упором на стилеобразующую самостоятельность византийского типа гуманизма, то теперь интерес ученых направлен также на собственные мыслительные тенденции эпохи. Все эти аспекты византийской интеллектуальной культуры XI — XV вв., а также пересечения западной схоластической и итальянской гуманистической мысли с византийской интеллектуальной традицией, отражены на настоящем портале.

- Call for papers. The conference Altiora te ne quaesieris (Sir. 3, 22): THE MEDIEVAL PURSUIT OF WISDOM aims at discussing various aspects of the medieval search for intellectual and moral perfection. It is open to philosophical and theological considerations related to the concept of wisdom intended in a broad sense, both in its theoretical and practical dimensions. Among the many possible interpretative paths, there is the issue of the cognitive optimism vs the ethical and epistemic limitations of knowledge, the problem of the latent medieval scepticism and of various approaches to the problem of knowability, which is related to the variety of definitions of the scope of the unknown. Another issue concerns the basic motivations of medieval intellectuals, their aims and scientific ambitions, as well as the tension between the condemnation of ignorance, the prohibition of curiosity, and the natural desire for knowledge. Of particular importance is the impact of Aristotle’s theory of science on the medieval views on intellectual research. Furthermore, from a philosophical perspective, wisdom can be considered a matter of inherently and typically human activity; but, when viewed from a theological point of view, scientia and sapientia are gifts beyond the natural human powers. The conference will take place in the historical buildings of the 1000‑year-old Benedictine Abbey near Cracow. The deadline for abstract submissions is March 31, 2018.

The VIII International Colloquium of the CEH of the UNLP intends to discuss the different ways in which subjectivity expresses itself, and the strategies of its textualization, in order to draw a map that can give account of the varied territories of the self in the Classical World. The textual emergences of the self/selves are not limited to autobiographical writings, but extend to all forms of subjectivity expression, discursive or material, individual or collective.
