Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

The medieval philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus (1266-1308) was one of the great thinkers of Western intellectual culture exerting a considerable influence over many centuries. He had a genius for original and subtle philosophical analysis with the motive behind his philosophical method being his faith. His texts are famous not only for their complexity but also for their brilliance their systematic precision and the profound faith revealed. The texts presented in this new commentary show that Scotus' thought is not moved by a love for the abstract or technical but that a high level of abstraction and technicality was needed for his precise conceptual analysis of Christian faith. Presenting a selection of nine fundamental theological texts of Duns Scotus some translated into English for the first time this book provides detailed commentary on each text to reveal Scotus' conception of divine goodness and the nature of the human response to that goodness. Following an introduction which includes an overview of Scotus' life and works the editors highlight Scotus' theological insights many of which are explored here for the first time and shed new light on topics which were and still are hotly discussed. Scotus is seen to be the first theologian in the history of Christian thought who succeeds in developing a consistent conceptual framework for the conviction that both God and human beings are essentially free. Offering unique insights into Scotus' theological writings and faith and a particular contribution to contemporary debate on Scotus' ethics this book contributes to a clearer understanding of the whole of Scotus' thought. | Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

Bhakti and Embodiment Fashioning Divine Bodies and Devotional Bodies in Krsna Bhakti

The historical shift from Vedic traditions to post-Vedic bhakti (devotional) traditions is accompanied by a shift from abstract translocal notions of divinity to particularized localized notions of divinity and a corresponding shift from aniconic to iconic traditions and from temporary sacrificial arenas to established temple sites. In Bhakti and Embodiment Barbara Holdrege argues that the various transformations that characterize this historical shift are a direct consequence of newly emerging discourses of the body in bhakti traditions in which constructions of divine embodiment proliferate celebrating the notion that a deity while remaining translocal can appear in manifold corporeal forms in different times and different localities on different planes of existence. Holdrege suggests that an exploration of the connections between bhakti and embodiment is critical not only to illuminating the distinctive transformations that characterize the emergence of bhakti traditions but also to understanding the myriad forms that bhakti has historically assumed up to the present time. This study is concerned more specifically with the multileveled models of embodiment and systems of bodily practices through which divine bodies and devotional bodies are fashioned in Krsna bhakti traditions and focuses in particular on two case studies: the Bhagavata Purana the consummate textual monument to Vaisnava bhakti which expresses a distinctive form of passionate and ecstatic bhakti that is distinguished by its embodied nature; and the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition an important bhakti tradition inspired by the Bengali leader Caitanya in the sixteenth century which articulates a robust discourse of embodiment pertaining to the divine bodies of Krsna and the devotional bodies of Krsna bhaktas that is grounded in the canonical authority of the Bhagavata Purana. | Bhakti and Embodiment Fashioning Divine Bodies and Devotional Bodies in Krsna Bhakti
