Christian inspiration and the identity of the university as an institution
In this presentation, I argue that the history of universities is entirely germane to assessing what their role should be at the outset of the twenty-first century. Challenged as we are on all sides by cataclysmic changes in technology and economic demands that increasingly pressure us to become institutions aimed solely at variable utilitarian ends, we need to remember the ‘philosophical’ aspect of a university, as opposed to a technical education, and emphasize the importance of education in perfecting human intellects in our deliberations about the future of universities
Juan Iribarne e Uraburu on the voluntary, will, and nature
In this paper, the author examines the theory of will outlined in the Tractatus de actibus humanis of Juan Iribarne Uraburu. Juan’s discussion of will is situated in relation to various Thomistic thinkers of seventeenth-century Iberia and is shown both to be continuous with and innovative within the Scotistic tradition. The conclusion reached is that Juan’s theory highlights fundamental disagreements that distinguish Scotistic theories of the will from those of other Scholastic theories, whether Thomistic or Suarezian, and thus is extremely instructive for current philosophical reflection.En este artÃculo el autor examina qué teorÃa de la voluntad se delinea en el Tractatus de actibus humanis escrito por Juan Iribarne Uraburu. La discusión abierta por Juan Iribarne acerca de la voluntad se sitúa en el contexto de los planteamientos tomistas de la penÃnsula ibérica en el siglo XVII y manifiesta tanto continuidad como innovación dentro de la tradición escotista. La conclusión que se alcanza es que la teorÃa de Juan Iribarne muestra desacuerdos fundamentales que distinguen las teorÃas escotistas respecto de otras teorÃas escolásticas acerca de la voluntad, sean de corte tomista o suareciano, y, por tanto, es un ejemplo muy instructivo para el actual debate filosófico
