Peut-on vouloir le mal pour le mal dans la pensée de Thomas d’Aquin?

Perugino, Dominic 08 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire propose une analyse de la théorie de la volonté en relation avec le mal dans la pensée de Thomas d’Aquin. Le mal est une privation d’être et l’être est identique au bien. La volonté est une forme intellectuelle d’appétit, ainsi que la gouvernante des puissances inférieures, mais aussi de la raison qui est à la fois son principe. L’appétit est un mouvement vers ce qui est le bien d’une nature, il est donc difficile d’accepter que la volonté puisse élire son contraire qui est le mal. La thèse de Platon selon laquelle le mal n’est désiré que par ignorance est écartée, puisque le propos de Thomas est d’expliquer le consentement en faveur du mal connu. Or, si le mal peut être voulu, on ne peut le vouloir sans le référer au bien. Ainsi, le libre arbitre, bien qu’ayant Dieu pour principe, est le principe du premier mauvais choix. La compréhension de la problématique passe par la division de ce qui appartient à l’extérieur de la volonté et ensuite à l’intérieur. De soi, un acte extérieur peut être immoral, comme le vol, mais la volonté d’une intention bonne qui choisit cet acte devient mauvaise, bien qu’elle garde le mérite de sa bonne intention. Son choix mauvais est parfois dû à une certaine ignorance, mais, puisque nous n’ignorons pas toujours le mal, il faut attribuer une faiblesse à la volonté, car elle n’accomplit pas pleinement sa nature. Quand elle répète ses actes de faiblesse à l’égard du mal, elle se dispose à accueillir l’habitus de la malice, et alors elle cherche d’elle-même le mal. Aucun de ces principes, cependant, ne peut s’appliquer à l’homme originel ni au diable. Ceux-ci n’auront pour principe de leurs choix que l’orgueil dans le libre exercice de la volonté. / This paper proposes to analyse the theory of will in interaction with evil in Thomas Aquinas’s thought. Evil is a privation of being, and being is identical to good. The will is an intellectual form of appetite, as well as the governor of lower faculties and of reason, which is also its principle. Appetite is a movement towards the good of a nature; it is therefore difficult to accept that will could elect its opposite, which is evil. Plato’s thesis consisting of attributing the will towards bad to ignorance is discarded, because Thomas’s explanation concerns the consent towards evil witch is known. Now, if evil can be wanted, we cannot want it without referring it to good. In that way, free will, though having God for principle, is the principle of the first bad choice. The comprehension of the problem has to go through the division of that which belongs to the will’s exterior and to it’s interior. In itself, an exterior act can be immoral, like stealing, but the good intentioned will that choses this act then becomes evil, keeping nonetheless the merit of its good intention. The bad choice is sometimes attributable to ignorance, but since we do not always ignore evil, we have to accuse a certain weakness in the will for not being able to fulfill its nature. When it repeatedly acts weakly towards evil, it makes itself available for the mischievous habitus, and it then, on its own, searches the evil act. None of these principles, though, can apply to the original man or for the devil. They will not have any other principle for their choice than that of pride in the free exercise of their will.

Saint Thomas d’Aquin et la possibilité d’un monde créé sans commencement / St. Thomas Aquinas and the possibility of a world created without beginning

Celier, Grégoire 04 June 2014 (has links)
La question d’un monde créé sans commencement ou, comme on le dit souvent, le problème de « l’éternité du monde », a été l’occasion d’une vive controverse entre les penseurs latins du XIIIe siècle, dont saint Thomas d’Aquin. Nonobstant sa foi avérée en une création avec un commencement, Thomas, théologien et philosophe catholique, s’est interrogé tout au long de sa carrière : « Aurait-il été possible que Dieu créât un monde sans commencement ? » Cette persévérance est suffisamment paradoxale pour attirer l’attention, d’autant que Thomas, en sa réponse, s’opposait à la grande majorité de ses contemporains.Après une courte partie introductive qui brosse à grands traits et sans prétention le contexte historique, sont donc présentés les onze textes thomasiens traitant de la durée du monde, et spécialement de la possibilité d’un monde créé sans commencement, en leur langue latine ainsi qu’en une traduction française originale. Puis sont analysés les arguments présentés par Thomas, et les questions qu’ils peuvent soulever. Si les rapports entre la philosophie et la foi, comme entre la philosophie et la science, entrent en ligne de compte, les notions de causalité naturelle et de causalité volontaire, de fini et d’infini, de création divine et d’action humaine, de temps et d’éternité, de démonstration rationnelle et d’argument de convenance, constituent le cœur de cette élucidation philosophique.Au terme de la démarche, il apparaît que, pour saint Thomas d’Aquin, si le monde, en fait, a été créé avec un commencement (c’est pour lui une certitude de foi), en droit il aurait pu être créé sans aucun commencement (et c’est pour lui une affirmation légitime de la raison). / The question of a world created without beginning or, as is often said, the problem of « the eternity of the world », was the occasion of a controversy between the latin thinkers of the thirteenth century, including St. Thomas Aquinas. Despite his unquestionable faith in a creation with a beginning, Thomas, catholic theologian and philosopher, wondered throughout his life : « Would it have been possible that God created a world without beginning ? » This perseverance is paradoxical enough to attract attention, especially as Thomas, in his reply, was opposed to the vast majority of his contemporaries.After a short and unpretentious introduction that describes historical context, eleven thomasians texts dealing with the duration of the world are presented, and especially the possibility of a world created without beginning, in the original latin and in a new french translation. Then the arguments given by Thomas are analyzed, as well as the issues they may raise. If the relationship between philosophy and faith, and between philosophy and science, are taken into account, the concepts of natural causality and voluntary causality, finite and infinite, divine creation and human action, time and eternity, rational demonstration and argument of convenience, are the heart of this philosophical elucidation.At the end of the process, it appears that, for Aquinas, if the world, in fact, was created with a beginning (this is for him a certainty of faith), nevertheless it could have been created without a beginning (and this is for him a legitimate statement of reason).

Negatividade e participação: a influência do Pseudo Dionísio Areopagita em Tomás de Aquino - teologia, filosofia e educação / Negativity and participation: The influence of Pseudo-Dionysius Areopagite on Thomas Aquinas: Theology, Philosophy and Education.

Castro, Roberto Carlos Gomes de 13 November 2009 (has links)
Este trabalho sustenta que o teólogo cristão do início do século VI conhecido como Pseudo Dionísio Areopagita exerce profunda influência no pensamento do teólogo e filósofo medieval Tomás de Aquino (1225-1274). Essa influência se dá principalmente em dois temas fundamentais da filosofia tomasiana: negatividade e participação. Negatividade diz respeito ao caráter de mistério que envolve as essências mais íntimas dos seres desde a natureza visível e o homem até o princípio de todas as coisas, Deus e que, portanto, não são plenamente compreensíveis para o entendimento humano. Participação se refere ao fato de que, por outro lado, o mundo participa do ser de Deus e, por isso, revela traços do divino, ainda que de modo deficiente e remoto. Dada essa influência de Dionísio, Tomás de Aquino não pode ser considerado um pensador racionalista, com respostas definitivas para todos os problemas da existência, como costuma ser visto por epígonos o que constitui uma deturpação do pensamento tomasiano, marcado pela consciência da insuficiência da razão. Para Tomás, não é possível aos homens ter clareza absoluta sobre qualquer assunto, daí, por exemplo, a necessidade de eles se conduzirem segundo a clássica doutrina cristã da prudência a virtude de agir corretamente, com base no límpido conhecimento da situação presente. Tendo em vista a negatividade e a participação, para o acesso às realidades mais profundas impõe-se o uso de metáforas, alegorias e símbolos, capazes de algum modo de se aproximar do que, afinal, é incognoscível. No que se refere ao conhecimento de Deus, a via de acesso é a mística entendida como uma experiência com o Absoluto que se dá num plano além da razão, e não aquém , uma vez que todo discurso racional, afinal, fala mais do homem do que de Deus. Como conclusão, este trabalho propõe que o pensamento negativo do Pseudo Dionísio Areopagita e de Tomás de Aquino precisa ser mais conhecido também por educadores, pois ele permite uma visão diferente da realidade, uma visão menos lógico-racionalista que tantos problemas tem trazido à sociedade contemporânea e mais sensível, lúdica e profunda, portanto, mais humana. No anexo, é apresentada a tradução, direta do original grego, do livro Da teologia mística, do Pseudo Dionísio Areopagita. / This dissertation argues that the Christian theologian of the early sixth century known as Pseudo-Dionysius Areopagite exerts profound influence on the thought of medieval theologian and philosopher Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). This influence is mainly on two major topics of Aquinas philosophy: negativity and participation. Negativity means the character of mystery that involves the most intimate essence of beings from the natural world and man to the cause of all things, God and therefore not fully comprehensible to human understanding. Participation refers to the fact that, on the other hand, the world participates in the being of God and, therefore, shows traces of the divine, even in a poor and remote way. Given the influence of Dionysius, Aquinas can not be regarded as a rationalist thinker, with definitive answers to all problems of existence, as is often seen by followers which is a perversion of Aquinass thought, marked by awareness of the insufficiency of reason. For Aquinas, it is not possible for men to have absolute clarity on any issue, then, for example, requiring them to conduct themselves according to the classical Christian doctrine of prudence the virtue of doing right, based on clear understanding of the current situation. Given the negativity and participation, accessing deeper realities requires the use of metaphors, allegories and symbols, which are able somehow to get closer to that, after all, is unknowable. With regard to knowledge of God, the way of access is the mystique understood as an experience of the Absolute that is given beyond reason, and not short , since all rational discourse, after all, speaks more about man than about God. In conclusion, this study suggests that the negative thought of Pseudo-Dionysius Areopagite and Thomas Aquinas should be more well known by educators, because it allows a different view of reality, less logical-rationalist that has brought many problems to contemporary society and more sensitive, playful and profound, therefore, more human. The annex includes a translation directly from the original Greek of The mystical theology, by Pseudo-Dionysius Areopagite.

La justice humaine chez Thomas d’Aquin / Human justice in Thomas Aquinas

Teixeira dos Reis Huet, Andréa 27 March 2015 (has links)
Ce travail vise à mettre en valeur l’importance de la justice pour la réalisation de l’homme chez Thomas d’Aquin. La première partie traite de la connaissance scientifique et de l’action humaine, l’idée d’ordre dirigeant, selon Thomas, aussi bien le plan théorique que le plan pratique. La deuxième partie traite plus spécifiquement de la vertu de justice, ce qui demande l’analyse des autres vertus morales, mais aussi intellectuelles, qui opèrent avec elle en vue du bien de l’homme. La troisième partie traite des relations entre la justice, le droit et la loi, le droit pouvant être conçu d’après deux perspectives qui se rejoignent, soit comme objet de la justice, soit comme résultat de la juste application de la loi. / This work aims at emphasizing the importance of justice in the realization of man in Thomas Aquinas. The first part deals with scientific knowledge and human action, the idea of order ruling, for him, the theoretical level as well as the practical level. The second part deals more specifically with the virtue of justice, requiring the analysis of the other not only moral but also intellectual virtues, which operate together with it for the good of man. The third part handles with the relations between justice, right and law; the right understood from two related perspectives, either as the object of justice, or as the result of the fair application of the law.

No. of bitstreams: 1 BRUNO VIEIRA DINIZ.pdf: 2490348 bytes, checksum: b26b41d5296d2042dfc74dfa81a6d99c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-12-19 / This dissertation has as the main goal the identification of principles of a possible psychotherapy in the light of the tomasian psychology. To reach this objective, we initially discussed the importance of the theme, namely, the importance of Thomism and of a possible psychotherapy in the light of Saint Thomas Aquinas in the present days. In this regard, we believe, among other things, that Thomism has the ability to bring us closer to the truth about human nature in its fullest completeness. Next, we discussed and established some important theoretical assumptions for this work, which are the definitions of Tomasian psychology and Thomistic psychotherapy. We defined that Tomasian psychology is the theological treaty of Thomas Aquinas on the human soul, its essence, powers and acts; and that Thomistic psychotherapy would be a possible application of this psychology: a science and a prudential art whose objectives would be, through interpersonal help, to alleviate suffering and to seek the perfection of the human soul. Then, in order to identify in the psychology developed by Saint Thomas possible principles for a psychotherapy, we undertook a long study in which we tried to synthesize, systematize and analyze the entire content of Tomasian psychology, having as reference the Summa Theologica. Thus, we studied the human soul, its powers and acts, with emphasis on the following themes: the voluntary act and its principles, the ultimate end of man (and the happiness), the passions of the soul, and human virtues and vices. Finally, in the last chapter of this work, we presented, briefly, by way of conclusion, possible principles of a Thomistic psychotherapy, which were identified and inferred from the previous study. We believe that such principles can shed important light on the nature of the therapeutic relationship and on the means of pursuing the main psychotherapeutic goals, as previously presupposed, that are: the alleviation of emotional suffering and the pursuit of human happiness. / Esta disserta??o tem como objetivo principal a identifica??o de princ?pios de uma poss?vel psicoterapia ? luz da psicologia tomasiana. Para atingir esse objetivo, inicialmente, discutimos a import?ncia do tema, ou seja, a import?ncia do tomismo e de uma poss?vel psicoterapia ? luz de Santo Tom?s de Aquino nos dias atuais. Quanto a isso, acreditamos, dentre outras coisas, que o tomismo tem a capacidade de nos aproximar da verdade a respeito da natureza humana em sua maior integralidade. Em seguida, discutimos e estabelecemos alguns importantes pressupostos te?ricos para este trabalho, que s?o as defini??es de psicologia tomasiana e de psicoterapia tomista. Definimos que a psicologia tomasiana ? o tratado teol?gico de Tom?s de Aquino acerca da alma humana, sua ess?ncia, pot?ncias e atos; e que a psicoterapia tomista seria uma poss?vel aplica??o dessa psicologia: uma ci?ncia e uma arte prudencial cujos objetivos seriam, por meio da ajuda interpessoal, o al?vio do sofrimento e a busca da perfei??o da alma humana. Em seguida, com o intuito de identificar na psicologia desenvolvida por Santo Tom?s poss?veis princ?pios para uma psicoterapia, empreendemos um longo estudo em que procuramos sintetizar, sistematizar e analisar o conte?do de toda psicologia tomasiana, tendo como refer?ncia a Suma Teol?gica. Estudamos assim a alma humana, suas pot?ncias e atos, com destaque para os seguintes temas: o ato volunt?rio e seus princ?pios, o fim ?ltimo do homem (e a felicidade), as paix?es da alma, as virtudes e os v?cios humanos. Por fim, no ?ltimo cap?tulo deste trabalho, apresentamos ent?o, sinteticamente, a t?tulo de conclus?o, poss?veis princ?pios de uma psicoterapia tomista, identificados e inferidos a partir do estudo anterior. Acreditamos que tais princ?pios podem nos lan?ar importantes luzes sobre a natureza da rela??o terap?utica e sobre os meios de persecu??o dos principais objetivos psicoterap?uticos, como pressupostos anteriormente, que s?o o al?vio do sofrimento emocional e a busca da felicidade humana.

Its importance is singular, among other things, due to the disruption that it causes between the established doctrine about knowledge itself, the Augustinian doctrine of divine illumination and some orders, that until that moment, remained faithful to (Augustinian s). This dissertation aims, from the articles five and six from question 84 inserted in the first part of the Summa of theology of Thomas Aquinas, return to this issue that is far from being exhaustedly explored given its richness and complexity. Therefore, we present, at first, the historical context in which the Summa of Theology was written, as well as what it is in its shape and utility. Subsequently, we turn our attention to its first part. In it, Thomas refers to God and to what proceeds from him, better said, the work of the creation and its action in the world, to then, be able to focus on the group of questions regarding human knowledge, ie, questions 84 - 89 Next, we turn our attention to the question 84 and its articles, exposing its structure and systematize, to finally be able to concentrate on the axioms of articles five and six. In them, we realized Thomas skillfully taking advantage of auctoritates technique to harmonize Augustinian and Aristotle thinking regarding the theory studied in this paper / A teoria do conhecimento em Tomás de Aquino é alvo de interesse de vários pesquisadores do período. Sua importância é singular, dentre outras coisas, devido à ruptura que causa entre a doutrina estabelecida acerca do conhecimento, qual seja, a doutrina agostiniana da iluminação divina e algumas ordens, até então, fiéis a ela. Esta dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo, a partir dos artigos cinco e seis da questão 84 inseridos na primeira parte da Suma de Teologia de Tomás de Aquino, retomar esse tema que está longe de ser esgotado dado sua riqueza e complexidade. Para tanto, apresentamos, em um primeiro momento, o contexto histórico em que a Suma de Teologia fora escrita, bem como, o que ela é em seu formato e utilidade. Posteriormente, voltamos nossa atenção para sua primeira parte. Nela, Tomás refere-se a Deus e a o que dele procede, ou seja, à obra da criação e à sua ação no mundo, para, então, concentrarmo-nos no bloco de questões que tratam do conhecimento humano, isto é, das questões 84 - 89. Em seguida, voltamos nossa atenção para a questão 84 e seus artigos, expondo sua estrutura e sistematização, para, finalmente, atermo-nos aos axiomas dos artigos cinco e seis. Neles, pudemos perceber Tomás valendo-se habilmente da técnica das auctoritates para harmonizar o pensamento de Agostinho com o de Aristóteles no tocante á teoria em estudo nesse trabalho

A quinta via de Tomás de Aquino

Ribeiro, Rodrigo Marinho Santos January 2017 (has links)
Este trabalho apresenta o argumento que Tomás de Aquino (1225-1274) oferece como a quinta das vias para demonstrar a existência de Deus na Suma de Teologia. O foco desta apresentação não é explorar o contexto histórico em que o argumento se originou, nem examinar as fontes gregas, latinas e islâmicas sobre as quais Tomás teria se baseado, mas sim analisar a possibilidade de sustentá-lo de modo atemporal como um argumento plausível a favor da existência de Deus. Minha intenção é oferecer boas razões em seu favor e rebater as objeções mais notórias em contrário, apontando os limites explicativos do argumento e oferecendo sugestões para fortalecê-lo. Inicio distinguindo diferentes tipos de teleologia e de argumentos teleológicos pela existência de Deus, comparando a quinta via com os demais argumentos teleológicos de Tomás e com o argumento de William Paley pelo projeto inteligente (Intelligent Design). Em seguida, passo à análise da própria via, mostrando evidências das inclinações e tendências a fins a que Tomás faz referência e tratando das teses metafísicas que defende a partir da observação destas inclinações. Também ofereço respostas às objeções que pretendem que esta teleologia seja redutível a leis de natureza ou ao acaso. No último capítulo, considero a segunda parte da quinta via, que afirma que tais inclinações em direção a fins dependem em última instância de uma inteligência ordenadora que seria Deus. Analisando, ao fim, em que medida procedem as objeções de que esta conclusão não passa de um antropomorfismo injustificado e de que Tomás vai além do que lhe permite a conclusão ao considerar que esta inteligência é Deus. / This work presents the argument Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) offers as the fifth of his ways to demonstrate the existence of God in the Summa Theologiae. The main point of this presentation is not to explore the historical context in which the argument was written, neither to examine the Greek, Latin and Islamic sources upon which Thomas could have based himself, but rather to analyze the possibility of sustaining it timelessly as a plausible argument in favor of God’s existence. My purpose is to offer good reasons in its favor and to rebut the most notorious objections against it, pointing out the explanatory limits of the argument, and providing suggestions to strengthen it. I start by distinguishing different sorts of teleology and of teleological arguments for the existence of God, then I compare the Fifth Way with others teleological arguments formulated by Thomas and with the argument of William Paley for the “inteligente design” hypothesis. I also analyze the way itself, pointing out evidences for the inclinations and tendencies towards ends that Thomas refers to, also dealing with the metaphysical theses that Thomas defends based on the observation of these inclinations. Moreover, I offer answers to objections that intend to reduce teleology to laws of nature or to chance. In the last chapter, I consider the second part of Fifth Way, which affirms that those inclinations towards ends ultimately depend on an ordering intelligence that would be God. Lastly, I examine to what extent are valid the objections that claim this conclusion is simply an unjustified anthropomorphism and that Thomas goes beyond what his conclusion allows him when he takes this intelligence to be God.

Deus e o primeiro motor movente : uma análise lógica da primeira via de Tomás de Aquino

Siqueira, Cassiano Medeiros January 2012 (has links)
Entre as cinco provas da existência de Deus que Tomás de Aquino apresentou na Summa Theologiae, sobressai a chamada “primeira via”, considerada pelo autor como a “mais manifesta”. Esta dissertação formaliza-a em lógica quantificacional, explicitando cada uma das inferências a fim de julgar sua validade e correção. Depois de explicadas as teses metafísicas que constituem o cenário da discussão — como a doutrina aristotélica das quatro causas e as distinções entre substância e acidente, ato e potência —, são examinadas as objeções de Anthony Kenny (1969) e as sugestões interpretativas de John Wippel (2000) em defesa do raciocínio de Tomás. Mostra-se que a primeira parte, que procura demonstrar a irreflexividade do movimento, é um argumento válido, mas incorreto, por conter uma premissa falsa: aquela que afirma sem restrições a atualidade do movente. Já a segunda parte, o argumento contra o regresso infinito, contém uma ambiguidade que o deixa diante de duas alternativas: ou se trata de uma petição de princípio ou de uma falácia de equivocidade. Dado o fracasso material e formal da prova, é proposta finalmente uma abordagem não-dedutiva do problema. / Among the five proofs of God’s existence presented by Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologiae, the so-called "first way" stands out, for being considered by the author as the "most obvious" one. This dissertation formalizes it in quantificational logic, explaining each of the inferences in order to assess its validity and soundness. After explaining the metaphysical theses that provide the backdrop for the discussion — as the doctrine of the four Aristotelian causes and the distinctions between substance and accident, act and potency — it considers the objections of Anthony Kenny (1969) and interpretive suggestions of John Wippel (2000) in defense of Thomas’ reasoning. It is shown that the first part, which seeks to demonstrate the non-reflexivity of movement, is a valid argument, but unsound, because it contains a false premise: the one that states the mover’s actuality without restrictions. The second part, the argument against the infinite regress, contains an ambiguity that leaves you faced with two alternatives: either it begs the question or it is a fallacy of equivocation. Given the material and formal failure of the proof, a non-deductive approach to the problem is finally proposed.

墨家法思想之研究---與Aquinas自然法之比較

黃文聰 Unknown Date (has links)
墨家法思想與傳統中國法學所引為依據的儒家仁學是完全不同的:儒家之仁乃是以自身道德的直覺判斷作為衡量世間萬物的最高準則,並藉此與生俱來的直覺與其他萬物有了所謂''感通"之效應來評斷世上價值。但楊日然教授已在三十年前就提出這種以自身道德直覺為準的儒家哲學,將有導致個人將以其內心的道德判斷取代客觀的禮儀及法律規範的危險。 依據撰著者的觀點,論文最重要在於第二章,即承襲先聖前賢思想的寶貴結晶,把墨家的兼愛思想分成兩個層次而定義為: 兼愛的消極定義:透過自我否定來達到消除敵對意識的精神作用。 兼愛的積極定義:所愛之人的實然性欲求(即被愛之人的期待與物質利益),即是自我的應然性義務之內涵。 換言之,在墨家法思想中,應然與實然是交互影響的,即他人實然欲望即為自己的應然義務,我的實然欲念即為他人的應然責任。 此論文第二章之目的即在於以現代法學觀念對墨家法思想重新作整理,彰顯中國傳統法思想較忽視的一面,作為往後與傳統法思想對照的一塊墊腳磚,從而在價值規範的論證上可獲儒家思想以外的參考資料,故為墨家法思想所做的整理與歸納是希望可達到本文第一目標。 本論文之第二目標即在於比較墨家與聖多瑪斯自然法並歸納出兩者相同之處,蓋在時間相隔長達一千七百年(墨子約是450 B.C.時代的人,而 聖多瑪斯則為1250 A.D.左右的人),空間距離超過數萬公里之遙,兩者不可能有任何的影響,若能在此絕對隔絕的環境下產生相同之思想,那這些思想的結晶或許真有其普世性的價值存在,此為本文第二目標。
