{"title":"Avoiding Slipko’s Slips: Karol Wojtyla’s Two Levels of Value","authors":"Thomas Lahay","doi":"10.26385/SG.080324","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26385/SG.080324","url":null,"abstract":"the moral fact that adultery has a negative moral value and is morally bad by examining the positive attribute of marital fidelity. Aquinas used remotion to show how we can understand God from what he is not. There is no reason why Wojtyła should be held to the standard that Ślipko is claiming. The Decalogue contains many “thou shall not” statements which point back to the moral norm. It would be hard to see how someone would be able to make any headway starting from these well-known examples unless we use abstraction in this same sense that Wojtyła and Aquinas have used it in remotion. In fact Ślipko later suggests this himself. Nonetheless, Wojtyła is not looking for the kind of abstraction that Ślipko is advocating. The difference between intellectual virtues and moral virtues is that the intellectual virtues are aimed at the speculative and the moral virtues are aimed at practical matters of action. Hence, the moral virtues are concerned with means as Aristotle notes. The kind of abstraction required has an aim to lay hold of the facts and recognize things for what they are, not describe what they are or to create new categories. This is why conscience is not described as a method for deriving knowledge but referred to by Aquinas as a kind of practical or particular syllogism known as synderesis. As Wojtyła notes, “the theory of morality develops not just as a certain abstraction in relation to the living, and existential reality of human morality . . . it goes straight to the dynamic core of moral facts and 44 See Thomas Aquinas, Summa Contra Gentiles, trans. Anton C. Pegis (New York: Hanover House, 1955–1957), I, 14: “Now, in considering the divine substance, we should especially make use of the method of remotion. For, by its immensity, the divine substance surpasses every form that our intellect reaches. Thus we are unable To apprehend it by knowing what it is. Yet we are able To have some knowledge of it by knowing what it is not.” Available online—see the section References for details. 45 Ślipko, “Concept of Value,” 23. 46 Thomas Aquinas, “On Conscience,” in Thomas Aquinas: Selected Writings, trans.

Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange on Wonder and the Division of the Sciences","authors":"Anthony Daum","doi":"10.26385/SG.080212","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26385/SG.080212","url":null,"abstract":"This essay is a comparison between St. Thomas Aquinas’s and Fr. Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange’s conceptions of philosophical wonder and the division of the sciences. While these two great philosophertheologians are separated by almost 700 years, they have largely compatible views on these topics. This is due, no doubt, to the fact that Garrigou-Lagrange (1877–1964), being a Dominican himself, is deeply indebted to Aquinas, but he does also make some significant developments of his own, which is to be expected. Thomas Aquinas needs no introduction, but, these days, Garrigou-Lagrange does. He is simply one of the greatest philosophertheologians within the Thomistic tradition of the last century and whose most famous student was Pope St. John Paul II. Garrigou-Lagrange has, up until recently, been largely forgotten for two intertwined reasons. First, he was (in)famously labeled as “the Sacred Monster of Thomism” (which forces most people to make an immediate judgment based on their personal views of Thomism as practiced in the early 20 century).","PeriodicalId":36983,"journal":{"name":"Studia Gilsoniana","volume":"8 1","pages":"249-276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69275839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The context of my argument concerns what it means to say that Christ reveals the human person to himself as a listener. Of primary importance is that one’s listening is based on the model of Christ’s own personhood. The first point I need to secure, then, is how the Son is a Listener. Explaining that involves showing first that the Son’s possession of divinity as received from the Father does not imply subordina-","PeriodicalId":36983,"journal":{"name":"Studia Gilsoniana","volume":"1 1","pages":"119-137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43392929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because we cannot preserve the identity of any being, including that of ourselves, without first admitting that identities other than ourselves exist independently of us, the rational starting point for anyone seeking to solve this problem must consist in admitting three evident truths: (a) beings other than ourselves (real natures) exist; (b) like us, the identity of such beings consists in being organizational wholes (wholes made up of parts); and (c) organizational unity exists in and through the harmonious relationship of the parts of an organizational whole to each other and to some chief aim, or act, the organization seeks to generate or cause (like building a house, extinguishing a fire, fighting crime or disease, or fostering psychological perfection). To preserve the identity of Christian culture, we must first recognize three things: (a) what is a Christian identity; (b) what is a cultural identity; and (c) how these two identities can be essentially merged to","PeriodicalId":36983,"journal":{"name":"Studia Gilsoniana","volume":"1 1","pages":"69-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48203323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That sends off the message “there must be good buys in there.” You enter the store but you hardly find items on 50% mark-off. You complain and the sales attendant draws your attention to a four-centimeter text that reads “on selected items.” Why do we demand signs to be accurate? Rectitude in the representation and interpretation of signs makes sense only in view of communication. Communication entails the expression of one’s thoughts, feelings, desires, etc., with the intent of engaging another in an exchange of views or a dialogue. For this to take place, the creation of a modeling system becomes imperative. Communication in very simple terms entails an exchange of any kind of messages whatsoever. A message can consist of a sign or a string of signs transmitted from a sign producer, or sender, to a sign receiver or destination. This article argues that in whatever manner the sign is used to signify, the ultimate indicator of a successful transmission of messages in any system would be the conformity to a norm or an ideal.
