Dios en la ética de Aristóteles - God in Aristotle’s Ethics

by David Torrijos-Castrillejo

Pensamiento: Revista de investigación e Información filosófica, ISSN 0031-4749, Vol. 68, Nº 255, 2012 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Razón y existencia en el acesso a la Divinidad) , págs. 5-23.

In that case, if God is efficient cause and gives rise to teleology, this must have some existential significance for man. We can ask ourselves therefore whether the knowledge of metaphysics can offer some orientation also for ethics. Yet if this were true, the need would arise to deepen the question of how much the gods love men and what would the nature of their relationship be to natural justice. Given that man is born and lives thanks to the divinity, the conclusion is that two consequences follow: a response of religious thanksgiving is needed but also, that since the will of the divinity desires the good for man, the human search for happiness is the same as the fulfillment of the divine law. All this is explained, to a certain extent, in the context of the friendship between man and the divine.

Since it is argued that religion is communicated in “post-transcendental” ways into the global scenario, I have furthered the intertwining constructions of what is to be meant with “religious woman” and the many implications of certain discourses about gender and religion as fixed entities.
In line with these narratives, I analyzed the embodied communication on the border of the so-called public-private dichotomy, by emphasizing the bodily meaning involved in defining themselves as women, as human beings and as religious.
Thus, I highlighted the empowerment women receive from religion as well as their conflicts related to personal vs. official religious discourses, by proposing various lens to approach agency and resistance.

Tulisan ini merupakan Review Article dari karya Muhammad Amin Abdullah, Islamic Studies di Perguruan Tinggi Pendekatan Integrasi Interkoneksi, diterbitkan oleh Pustaka Pelajar tahun 2010.

Melalui buku ini, Amin hendak menawarkan paradigma keilmuan “interkoneksitas” yang lebih modest (mampu mengukur kemampuan diri sendiri), humility (rendah hati) dan human (manusiawi). Asumsi dasar yang diusung konsep ini adalah, bahwa untuk memahami kompleksitas fenomena kehidupan yang dihadapi dan dijalani manusia, setiap bangunan keilmuan apapun, baik keilmuan agama (termasuk agama Islam dan agama-agama lainnya), keilmuan sosial, humaniora, kealaman dan sebagainya, tidaklah dibenarkan bersikap single entity (berdiri sendiri). Masing-masing harus saling bertegur sapa antara satu sama lain. Sebab, ketika bangunan-bangunan keilmuan itu saling membelakangi, maka cepat atau lambat akan berubah menjadi narrowmindedness (pola pikir yang amat sempit dan menyempitkan bagi yang lain).

Nineteenth-­‐Century Natural Theology, Oxford Handbook of Natural Theology, Russell Re Manning (ed.), (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013).

It functioned both as a way of seeing nature but also as a way of being in the world. This essay explores the intellectual and experiential facets of design arguments by focusing on who promoted them and, just as important, why they appealed to so many people on a daily basis. In short, we learn that natural theology was a way of knowing and doing. The essay is structured around three kinds of natural theologians: philosophers and theologians, savants and scientists, priests and pedagogues. Whilst I take care to address well-known names like William Paley and Charles Darwin and classical disciplines like physics and theology, my larger aim is to show the appeal of design to middle class readers and authors (especially women) and to the founders of the emerging human sciences like biomedicine and evolutionary anthropology.
