Idea of a University The by Leah Carroll, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Idea of a University [is an] eloquent defense of a liberal education which is perhaps the most timeless of all [Newman?s] books and certainly the one most intellectually accessible to readers of every religious faith and of none. . . . [O]nly one who has read The Idea of a University in its entirety, especially the nine discourses, can hope to understand why its reputation is so high: why the first reading of this book has been called an ?epoch? in the life of a college man; why Walter Pater thought it ?the perfect handling of a theory?; why the historian G. M. Young has ranked it with Aristotle?s Ethics among the most valuable of all works on the aim of Education; or why Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch told his students at Cambridge that ?of all the books written in these hundred years there is perhaps none you can more profitably thumb and ponder.?? ?from the introduction by Martin J.

From his careful consideration of what true happiness is, to his comprehensive discussion of how it can be attained, St. Thomas Aquinas offers a challenging and classic statement of the goals of human life, both ultimate and proximate. This translation presents in accurate, consistent, contemporary English the great Christian thinker's enduring contributions on the subject of man's happiness. St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) is a Doctor of the church. He was an Italian Dominican friar and Roman Catholic priest who was an influential philosopher, theologian, and jurist in the tradition of scholasticism. Canonized in 1323 by Pope John XXII, Aquinas was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology and the father of Thomism. The late John A. Oesterle was assistant chairman of the department of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame (1972-1977) and the editor of The New Scholasticism (1967-1977).44.95144.9544.95Thomas Aquinas5CCF9FB4-7647-4FDA-BA5A-9647D6AAF1DC978026802211297802680221190007118, 59.28TPPaperbackCouverture soupleB59348561engUniversity of Notre Dame PressUniversity of Notre Dame Press4260.95963500.9596112009-08-15T04:00:00ZAnti-Dantism, Metaphysics, TraditionPetrarch and DanteP10106Arts & LettersLITCRIT01ALiterary CriticismLIT004200, LIT011000, PHI013000Criticism & TheoryBooks > Literary Criticism > Criticism & Theoryhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0268022119.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=enhttps://dynamic. indigoimages. ca/books/0268022119.jpg?scaleup=true&width=600&quality=85&lang=frhttps://www. indigo. ca/en-ca/petrarch-and-dante-anti-dantism-metaphysics-tradition/9780268022112.htmlhttps://www. indigo. ca/fr-ca/petrarch-and-dante-anti-dantism-metaphysics-tradition/9780268022112.htmlSince the beginnings of Italian vernacular literature, the nature of the relationship between Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) and his predecessor Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) has remained an open and endlessly fascinating question of both literary and cultural history. In this volume nine leading scholars of Italian medieval literature and culture address this question involving the two foundational figures of Italian literature. Through their collective reexamination of the question of who and what came between Petrarch and Dante in ideological, historiographical, and rhetorical terms, the authors explore the emergence of an anti-Dantean polemic in Petrarch's work. That stance has largely escaped scrutiny, thanks to a critical tradition that tends to minimize any suggestion of rivalry or incompatibility between them. The authors examine Petrarch's contentious and dismissive attitude toward the literary authority of his illustrious predecessor; the dramatic shift in theological and philosophical context that occurs from Dante to Petrarch; and their respective | Idea of a University | Idea of a University The by Leah Carroll, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
