Proclus‘ Multi-Level Ontology: The Meaning Of Monads Vs. A Tale Told By Thomists, Eric Perl
Proclus‘ Multi-Level Ontology: The Meaning Of Monads Vs. A Tale Told By Thomists, Eric Perl
Philosophy Faculty Works
Thomists regularly claim that Aquinas 'corrects' Proclus and the Platonists by eliminating intermediary terms between the first principle and sensible particulars, regarding such distinct terms as illegitimately hypostatized universals and instead locating them without distinction in God as 'ipsum esse'. But Platonic ideas and Procline monads are not hypostatized universals, but rather the ontological conditions for universal predication, not univocal with the attributes of particulars. They must be really distinct in order to ground the differences between kinds of things in the world. As such they are prior to particulars and posterior to the first principle, hence, 'intermediate.' They are …

Philosophy And Theology: Gamete Donation, Christopher Kaczor
Philosophy And Theology: Gamete Donation, Christopher Kaczor
Philosophy Faculty Works
Moschella's thesis is that "gamete donation is inherently wrong insofar as it involves acting in a way that is highly likely to result in the acquisition of a non-transferable obligation to another person, without being willing to fulfill that obligation should it arise" (423). © 2021 The National Catholic Bioethics Center 829 Philosophy and Theology Some people think of gamete donation as a morally neutral act or even a praiseworthy act, like blood donation. In examining the ethics of gamete donation, Moschella looks to the nature of the relationship between children and parents, as compared with the relationship between biological …

Faith And Reason And The Consistent Ethic Of Life, Christopher Kaczor
Philosophy Faculty Works
The rich text of Evangelium vitae raises numerous themes of great importance, perhaps even greater importance now than at the time of its publication in 1995. This reflection looks at the relationship of faith and reason in Pope St. John Paul II’s Encyclical, and how both faith and reason help us to understand better the relationship among various issues important to the life and flourishing of the human person.

Virtue Epistemology, Virtue Ethics, And The Structure Of Virtue, Jason Baehr
Virtue Epistemology, Virtue Ethics, And The Structure Of Virtue, Jason Baehr
Philosophy Faculty Works
Contemporary virtue epistemology examines the cognitive life with an eye to the epistemic excellences or "intellectual virtues" of knowing subjects (Battaly 2008). It was inspired by virtue ethics, which emphasizes moral virtues and their centrality to acting and living well. This chapter begins with an observation about an apparent structural asymmetry between virtue epistemology and virtue ethics. It considers whether, initial appearances notwithstanding, there is in fact a virtue ethical counterpart of reliabilist virtue epistemology. This leads to a somewhat narrower consideration, namely whether there is a counterpart of reliable cognitive faculties within our moral psychology. The chapter clarifies and …
Intellectual Virtues, Critical Thinking, And The Aims Of Education, Jason Baehr
Intellectual Virtues, Critical Thinking, And The Aims Of Education, Jason Baehr
Philosophy Faculty Works
This chapter examines the relationship between critical thinking conceived of as educational ideal and intellectual virtues like curiosity, open-mindedness, intellectual courage, and intellectual perseverance. It focuses on Harvey Siegel’s influential account of critical thinking, according to which critical thinking has two main components: a “reason assessment” component and a “critical spirit” component. The chapter argues, contra Siegel that intellectual virtues cut across both of these components. It considers some of Siegel’s recent arguments to the effect that critical thinking is the superior educational ideal. The concept of critical thinking is at least quasi-technical. This is evident in ordinary usage of …

Intellectual Virtue, Jason Baehr
Intellectual Virtue, Jason Baehr
Philosophy Faculty Works
With the advent of contemporary virtue epistemology, many philosophers of knowledge have turned their attention to intellectual virtues and their role in the life of the mind. This entry examines two general concepts of intellectual virtue and the theoretical uses to which they have been put. It is shown that “reliabilist” and “responsibilist” approaches to virtue epistemology, while emphasizing different aspects of cognition, are more closely aligned than they initially appear to be. The ethical significance of intellectual virtues is also considered. In particular, intellectual virtues are shown to occupy an important role in moral perception and practical reasoning.

Flannery O’Connor And Religious Epistemology, Jason Baehr
Flannery O’Connor And Religious Epistemology, Jason Baehr
Philosophy Faculty Works
What are the demands of religious inquiry? It can be tempting to think of these demands in strictly epistemic terms, e.g. as a function of the inquirer's background beliefs, cognitive faculties, natural cognitive ability, intellectual skills, and intellectual character. In this article, I extrapolate an alternative model of religious inquiry from three stories by the Southern Gothic writer Flannery O'Connor (1925–1964). According to the model, a person's fitness for religious inquiry also depends on whether she possesses a certain moral posture. In particular, I argue that something like moral humility functions as an epistemic virtue in the theistic domain.

Intellectual Virtues And Truth, Understanding, And Wisdom, Jason Baehr
Philosophy Faculty Works
This chapter addresses the proper end or aim of intellectual virtues. After distinguishing between two fundamentally different conceptions of intellectual virtue, the author considers the plausibility, with respect to each conception, of the “binary thesis,” according to which the proper aim of intellectual virtues is true belief and the avoidance of cognitive error. The author goes on to argue that if one understands intellectual virtues (as many virtue epistemologists do) as admirable traits of personal character—for example, as traits like curiosity, open-mindedness, intellectual courage, and intellectual humility—then sophia or theoretical wisdom presents itself as a plausible way of understanding their …
How To Think Actuality? Schelling, Aristotle And The Problem Of The Pure Daß, Marcela Garcia Romero
How To Think Actuality? Schelling, Aristotle And The Problem Of The Pure Daß, Marcela Garcia Romero
Philosophy Faculty Works
In this paper, I address a problem of Schelling’s late philosophy: the relation between negative and positive philosophy, and the role of the “pure Daß” in the transition from one to the other. While the so-called transition is a well-known and much discussed issue, recent Schelling scholarship has underlined the difficulties involved in the mere notion of pure Daß. I propose that we can avoid some of these difficulties by taking into account Schelling’s particular and original interpretation of Aristotle’s notion of actuality (energeia) and the way he applies this notion in his late negative philosophy.I would like to begin …
