Friday, December 5, 2014. Essay from Summer '14: The Life of the Soul in the Rise of the Noosphere. In the following essay I will address several age-old problems concerning the soul through the lens of Teilhard’s ‘noosphere’. I will also consider whether the emergence of ‘digital nervous system’ (IBM) can be considered in any way a good thing for humanity. Part One: The Animate and the Inanimate. The Phenomenon of Man. Teilhard sketches the development of life as an evolutionary process which dates the ...

Tuesday, October 28, 2008. The definition of 'entelechy'. Entelechy (Gk. 'entelechia'): the self-realisation of the essence in the phenomena, Aristotle calls. Windelband 1891 p. 140. Windelband further expresses the meaning of 'entelechy' thusly: "[the essence].exists only in the succession of its phenomenal manifestations, by means of which it realises its own possibility.

entelechaia: On the Soul (father's Day 2014)
http://entelechaia.blogspot.com/2014/06/on-soul-fathers-day-2014.html
Sunday, June 15, 2014. On the Soul (father's Day 2014). If I were to begin teaching a true beginner in philosophy- -what would be the starting point? Should I seek the origin, the matter or the goal? What if there were a discourse concerning the soul- -and declare that the soul is the start and the development and the finish? If I were given the rare opportunity to completely embellish this response to the wide open question: What is truth? I would attempt to show what 'soul' means. Amen, and amen! If we...

entelechaia: The Metaphysics of Aquinas: A Systematic Presentation by Joseph Kockelmans
http://entelechaia.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-metaphysics-of-aquinas-systematic.html
Friday, October 10, 2014. The Metaphysics of Aquinas: A Systematic Presentation by Joseph Kockelmans. Kockelmans Joseph. The Metaphysics of Aquinas: A Systematic Presentation. Leuven, Bibliotheek van de Faculteit de Godgeleerdheid, 2001. Professor Kockelmans had a bit of a time getting this final work published- -it is in my opinion this factor that accounts for Carlos Steel's terse introduction. Ah! Quite a few years have fallen away since 2001 and now I can see what I could not see then, save in sketch...

entelechaia: John Herman Randall, Jr.
http://entelechaia.blogspot.com/2009/05/john-herman-randall-jr.html
Friday, May 29, 2009. John Herman Randall, Jr. Quite fortunately, I recently discovered an unusually penetrating book on Aristotle by John Herman Randall, Jr. Simply entitled,. I am going to take the liberty of quoting at length from Randall's work concerning the celebrated doctrine of the "unmoved mover"- -my training through Jan Van der Veken had exposed Aristotle's. Thus for Aristotle's analysis, every individual process has its own unique unmoved mover. The name is a generic term for a factor to ...

Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Exam Definition of 'phenomenology'. I am evaluating an exam on the subject of Aristotle's philosophy when I come upon this most magnificent phrase! Aristotle [.] said that the way we speak about things is itself a dimension of the phenomena themselves. It is something that comes to be and passes away (Student exam, Penn State University, April 2015).". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ realistpsychology.blogspot.com/.
