MOODLE LINK (lecture) https://dl1.cuni.cz/user/index.php?id=13213 MOODLE LINK (seminar) https://dl1.cuni.cz/course/view.php?id=13247 Předmět „Středověká filosofie A“ sestává z přednášky a četby primárních filosofických textů. Spolu s předmětem „Středověká filosofie B“ umožní studentům proniknout do hlavních témat filosofie. Kurz je zaměřen na témata z oblastí metafyziky, kosmologie, morální filosofie, teorie poznání a antropologie. Kurz pokrývá období patristiky, středověké arabské filosofie a latinského středověku. V průběhu kurzu se studenti připraví na zkoušku (předmět PVP, Skupina I „Středověká filosofie II“) i na odpovídající část bakalářské zkoušky (část b: Dějiny filosofie). Konkrétní náplň kurzu může v jednotlivých semestrech doznávat dílčích změn, tj. přesouvat váhu mezi dílčími tematickými okruhy, ovšem při zachování důrazu na získání důkladné znalosti primární literatury, již si musí studenti osvojit pro složení bakalářské zkoušky. Jde v zásadě o následující tematické okruhy a. metafyzika: filosofická teologie, jsoucno a bytí, kategorie, transcendentálie b. kosmologie: problém věčnosti světa, problém nekonečna, pohyb a čas c. morální filosofie: dobro a blaženost, problém zla, ctnosti, přirozený zákon d. teorie poznání: problém univerzálií, smyslové vnímání, pojem pravdy, myšlení a jazyk e. antropologie: duše a tělo, svobodná vůle, aktivní a možný intelekt SPRING TERM 2022 BA module – Středověká filosofie A Wednesday, 10:50-12:25 (lecture, in English) Wednesday, 14:10-15:45 (seminar, in English, texts in Czech and English) e-mail me for consultation or questions: anna.tropia@ff.cuni.cz General Description “God and the soul, that is what I desire to know. Nothing more? Nothing whatever.” said Augustine of Hippo (354-430). In the current module, the relation between the human soul and its objects of cognition will be tackled to explore the tight relation between anthropology, theory of knowledge and metaphysics (a, d, e). We will consider the constitution of the soul as the starting point for each cognition to take place but also to understand the place of human beings in the hierarchy of being. The module will include readings of Arabic, Jewish and Latin thinkers, with a special focus on the scholastic thought of 13th and 14th centuries. Aim of the course The course has a double aim. The first is making first-year students familiar with the main concepts and terminology of medieval thought. An essential bibliography will be provided by the teacher to support each reading and to integrate/replace the suggested literature for the preparation of the final exam (Komisionální zkouška ze středověké filosofie). The second is preparing the students to the defense of the final exam as well as for the BA finals, by introducing them to classical concepts and themes of history of philosophy.<br> Literature Primary Sources: texts in English translation (Augustine, Avicenna, Averroes, Avicebron, Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, William of Ockham).

A Selection. Hackett Publishing Company, 1987 (NB: the footnotes at the end are one of the most helpful tool to survive Scotus’ reading according to the majority of the students I have met) Electronical Resources: (Thomas Aquinas) Latin text of the Summa: Sancti Thomae de Aquino Opera omnia iussu Leonis XIII P. M. Edita, Romae, 1889-, vols. V and 13.
