Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Sir Isaac Newton FRS (4 January 1643 - 31 March 1727 ) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian who is considered by many scholars and members of the general public to be one of the most influential people in human history. His 1687 publication of the Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (usually called the Principia) is considered to be among the most influential books in the history of science, laying the groundwork for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion which dominated the scientific view of the ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Product Description
The attribution of the Speculum Astronomiae to AlbertusMagnus became a controversial issue only recently, when the greatneo-Thomist historian Pierre Mandonnet suggested -- without anyantecedents -- that the author was Roger Bacon rather than Albert.Mandonnet's theses were refuted by Lynn Thorndike and have since thenbeen the subject of widespread discussion.
The present historiographical case-study considers this debate in thelight of an analysis of texts by Albert himself, as well as otherimportant authors, such as Bacon, Bonaventura, Thomas Aquinas, Witelo,Campanus of Novara, and others, which shows how widespread the generalconcept of the influence of the stars and other astrological ideas tobe found in the Speculum were. Most of the scientific ideas ofthe Middle Ages were based on principles derived from the notion ofcelestial influence and its consequences. The Speculum drew thefundamental outlines of this discipline into a theoretical andbibliographical introduction -- no small achievement -- and wasconsequently greeted with great interest and used as a standardreference book for many centuries. Set against the background ofdiscussions taking place in the 1260s, within the Dominican Order aswell as in the Faculties of Arts, Zambelli removes all doubt that theSpeculum was written by Albert, possibly with somecollaboration.

Product Description

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the moral philosophy Albert the Great (1200-1280)--the first and only such undertaking in English. It lays out what is, with rare exceptions, an unknown, ignored, or poorly-understood aspect of Albert's humanism. It also fills in a major lacuna in both the history of medieval philosophy and the wider history of moral theory.

Prior to Albert, most medieval thinkers refused to acknowledge the very existence of natural moral goodness. They believed that one could not perform good acts without God's infused graces. Albert was the first to establish in a systematic fashion the value of naturally-acquired virtue, natural law, and the virtue-dependent states of friendship and natural happiness, and their importance in a human lifetime. To achieve this, he undertook the elaboration of a rigorous moral philosophy.

These findings stand in contrast to an old cliché that Albert the Great was a scholar of enormous erudition, an impressive assembler of learning and scientific information, but deficient when it came to elaborating a systematic philosophical or theological theory of his own. This book deflates that myth. It demonstrates that Albert was very concerned to produce a rigorously organized philosophy of moral goodness, and for the most part succeeded in that aim.

This book opens with a comprehensive introduction that is unprecedented in Albertinian scholarship. It uncovers certain parallels between the career of modern virtue-theory ethics and Albert's historical situation in such a way as to help the modern reader understand developments in the mid-thirteenth century. This book also makes possible a closer study of Thomas Aquinas's material dependence upon Albert's ethical concepts.

Product Description
Examining Albert's reading of "The Book of Causes", this text asks: how does he view the relation between faith and reason to identify creation with emanation from God; and how does he understand Platonism and Aristotelianism to find in a 5th-century Neoplatonist the key to Aristotle's meaning. ...
