E-séminaire de Philosophie
Nicolas Tenaillon
17 April to 12 June, 2023
DESCRIPTION
To know the stakes of the question of the animal today, in particular the recent discoveries of ethology, the place which one gives to the animal in the process of hominization, the new rights which one grants to him since one recognizes his sensitivity and his suffering, the morals which that induces in our behavior with regard to the alive ones, the relevance (or not) of the movements “vegan”, of the parties “animalists”, of the antispeciesism, the concern caused by the reduction of the biodiversity.
OBJECTIVES
1. To show that humans cannot do without animals for reasons that are not only useful (food, work, research) but also metaphysical.
2. To know how to distinguish conceptually what makes the specificity of the animal, the difficulty of classifications, to become aware of the problem of biodiversity and the arguments of veganism, anti-speciesism, animalism while keeping a critical sense with regard to certain theories.
3. To show that a theology of the animal remains to be written.

E-SÉMINAIRE : KANT ET LE PRIMAT DU DEVOIR (E-SEMINAR: KANT AND THE PRIMACY OF DUTY)
2023-04-17 09:00 - 2023-06-12 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
E-SÉMINAIRE : KANT ET LE PRIMAT DU DEVOIR (E-SEMINAR: KANT AND THE PRIMACY OF DUTY)
DATE OF THE SEMINAR: April 17 to June 12, 2023
Course Code: SEM87
Professor: Dr Matthieu Dubost
PRESENTATION OF THE SEMINAR:
The approach proposed here will be articulated in four steps. If Kantian thought has often been criticized, it has often been done superficially and mainly by opposing it to the needs of subjectivity and the sensitive disappointments to which such a morality gave rise. Without neglecting these remarks, it is undoubtedly important first to note what in his doctrine can be accepted as necessary elements for any valid ethics. This reading will then have to distinguish the weak criticisms from those to which the Kantian edifice resists badly, and above all to note in Kant himself the tensions and weaknesses caused by the primacy of duty. This will give rise to a negative or critical demonstration of the insufficiency of Kantian duty as an exclusive basis for ethics. This will be our second step.
Our interest in more contemporary critiques will essentially lie in their more unitary conception of the person, a difficulty on which E. Kant stumbled. By aiming at a more dualistic anthropology, we will continue the critique started in the second stage while giving ourselves the means to go towards another morality.
It is then, in a fourth and final step, that we will take into account an “ethics of the conatus”, that of Ricoeur. We will discuss his ability to positively demonstrate the validity of an ethics of desire, or teleological ethics, which does not, however, claim to be an anthropology of desire. It will be necessary to discern what in him is a valid and argued answer to Kantian difficulties, from what is perhaps more properly a pre-philosophical choice with the weaknesses that this implies. This reading will also have to take into account the way in which one can situate duty within an ethics where it is not primary.
THE STAGES OF THE SEMINAR:
Stage 1: Kant – Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals
Stage 2: Kant – “Dialectic of Pure Practical Reason”, Critique of Practical Reason
Stage 3: Hegel and Schiller
Step 4: Ricoeur

E-SÉMINAIRE : SOULÈVEMENTS, INSURRECTIONS ET RÉVOLUTIONS (E-SEMINAR: UPRISINGS, INSURRECTIONS AND REVOLUTIONS)
2023-04-17 09:00 - 2023-06-12 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
E-SÉMINAIRE : SOULÈVEMENTS, INSURRECTIONS ET RÉVOLUTIONS (E-SEMINAR: UPRISINGS, INSURRECTIONS AND REVOLUTIONS)
DATE OF THE SEMINAR: April 17 to June 12, 2023
Course Code: SEM089
Professor: Dr. Maxime Allard O.P.
DESCRIPTION
Uprisings, insurrections and revolutions. Some believed that after the fall of the Berlin Wall, these types of events would have belonged to the past, to a bygone political era, to a completed, accomplished understanding of history. However, in recent years, these types of events have been returning. Some people are happy about it; others deplore it. The terms are resurfacing and circulating again, variously connoted, and used by various social groups, the media, and the political class. Calls, expectations and hopes in this sense abound in certain sectors. Publications and perspectives are multiplying. Often the questions of violence, non-violence, civil disobedience, the “proper” place of passions and emotions in politics are invited into the discussion. Sometimes, also, on this occasion, the so-called “liberal” democracy is questioned. All this takes place in complex relationships with history, with representations (arts, speeches, symbolic gestures…).
This seminar intends to offer and build, patiently, a philosophical sounding board to understand these events and to explore what is at stake regarding politics. It will do so on two axes. The first, more historical, will follow Aristotle’s reflections on the experiences of stasis; the Machiavellian and Hobbesian tumults; the differences between the American and French revolutions (Arendt); communist and anarchist meditations on the revolutions of the 19th century (Marx, Lenin, Bakunin, Kropotkin, etc.) and/or on the insurrections to come (Invisible Committee). The second axis will be built more conceptually from contemporary authors (Georges Didi-Huberman, Antonio Negri, Jacques Rancière, Agamben, and others).
OBJECTIVES
To introduce some philosophical gestures that have taken revolutionary, insurrectionary and uprising phenomena seriously
To think about what is at stake in the understanding of politics and democracy.
To think philosophically about contemporary events by drawing critical inspiration from ancient and modern proposals
Sketch out avenues for answering or rephrasing the following question: “How can we understand the surprise of many people in a liberal democracy when faced with the social and political phenomena that the terms ‘uprising’, ‘insurrection’ and ‘revolution’ designate?
Attempt to specify and articulate the terms “uprising”, “insurrection” and “revolution” and various ways of representing them, of putting them in discourse and in “scene”.

E-SÉMINAIRE : LA THÉOLOGIE TRINITAIRE (E-SEMINAR: TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY)
2023-04-17 09:00 - 2023-06-12 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
E-SÉMINAIRE : LA THÉOLOGIE TRINITAIRE (E-SEMINAR: TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY)
Du 17 avril au 12 juin 2023
Code du cours: SEM030
Professeur : Ma Jacques Fournier
Course Code: SEM030
TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN AND THE NEW TESTAMENT
Faith in the One God runs through the whole Bible (Dt 6,4-9; 2Sm 7,22; 1R 8,60; Is 44,6-8; 45,5-6.14,22; 48,10-12…). It is of course taken up by Jesus himself (Mk 12:28-34 and parallels) and the authors of the New Testament (Jn 5:44; 17:3; Rom 3:30; 16:27; Gal 3:20; 1Cor 8:4; 1Tm 1:17; 2:3b-6)…
But on the mountain of the Transfiguration, the light of the Son dazzled St. John, the voice of the Father reassured him and in his Gospel, he will lead us into the Mystery of this eternal Relationship that was manifested in Jesus, the Christ, between the Son of God and his Father… And such is the heart of his discovery, exposed from the first line of his work: “the Word”, the Son, the Word of the Father, “is God”, and before all “beginning”, he is “near God” the Father, turned “towards” Him, living in relationship with Him… We will see to what extent our Nicene Constantinopolitan Creed is present in this Gospel of John, in his Letters but also in the works of St. Luke and St. Paul.
With them, we will also discover the foundations of the Revelation of the Holy Spirit, also true God, and we will see, especially with St. John, what is his work today towards every man of good will…

E-SEMINAR: LEARNING TO DWELL
2023-04-17 09:00 - 2023-06-12 17:00 (Europe/Paris)
E-SEMINAR: LEARNING TO DWELL
by Jaco Kruger
From 17th April to 12th June 2023
Course code: SEM84
DESCRIPTION
The fundamental thesis underlying this seminar is that there exists a kind of fittingness – even stronger, an affinity – between philosophy and ecology that invites us to think of these two disciplines together and in relation. Philosophy is occupied with the “big questions” of life and existence; its approach is often speculative and generalizing. Philosophy is the ongoing attempt to see the biggest picture, and to integrate all of experience into such a big picture. In this sense the Greek root word from which the word ecology stems is very appropriate: oikos – the house, the household, the dwelling place. Philosophy is about “learning to dwell,” to use a formulation of Martin Heidegger. What does it mean to be at home in the world? How should humans be at home in the world? And how should we live in our common home? Ecology, for its part, has since the middle of the 20th century as a discipline moved closer and closer to the life sciences and the natural sciences. But the fundamental philosophical presuppositions of ecology remain an open question. And the environmental catastrophe that is slowly unfolding in the 21st century affirms the intuition that the worldviews and philosophical presuppositions of the late-capitalist world must urgently be revisited. Making use of resources from process philosophy and from the work of Martin Heidegger, this seminar contributes to the discussion surrounding the characteristics of an integral ecology (Laudato Sí) by attempting an ecological introduction to philosophy.
OBJECTIVES
To introduce philosophy as the human search for a home in the world
To highlight the philosophical roots of the current ecological crisis
To contribute to the philosophical foundations of integral ecology as called for in the papal encyclical, Laudato Sí

The St. John Paul II Institute of Culture is an interdisciplinary scientific and didactic institution established at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome on the centenary of the birth of John Paul II. The mission of the Institute is to reflect on the most important problems of the contemporary Church and the world inspired by the life and thought of St. John Paul II.
Thus, the Institute’s aim is not only to study the achievements of the Great Pope, but also to think with him about the most important issues of spiritual culture, e.g. solidarity, mercy, Christian art, the place of the Church in the modern world or the spiritual crisis of Europe.
The Institute is co-managed by the Saint Nicholas Foundation (publisher of Teologia Polityczna) and funded entirely by private donors from Poland. We warmly invite you to join their ranks!
