Aquinas: Encyclopedia - Averroism

Averroism is the term applied to either of two philosophical trends among scholastics in the late 13th century, the first of which was based on Averroës' interpretations of Aristotle. The main philosophers involved were Siger of Brabant and Boëthius of Dacia. The main ideas of the earlier philosophical concept of Averroism — found in Averroës' commentaries to Aristotle — were: there is one truth, but there are (at least) two ways to reach it: through philosophy and through religion; the world is ete ...

Aquinas: Encyclopedia - Concupiscence

In theology, concupiscence refers to the orientation or inclination of human desire towards a partial good before any voluntary and conscious decision. It is derived from the Latin word concupiscentia. Thomas Aquinas believed there were two divisions of the sensory appetite or "sensuality": the concupiscible (pursuit/avoidance instincts) and the irascible (competition/aggression/defense instincts). With the former are associated the emotions of joy and sadness, love and hate, desire and repugnance; with the ...

Aquinas: Encyclopedia - Early Islamic philosophy

Early Muslim philosophy is considered influential in the rise of modern philosophy. Aquinas knew of at least some of the Mutazilite work and the Renaissance and the use of empirical methods were inspired at least in part by Muslim works taken in Spain in 1492.

Aquinas: Encyclopedia - Latria

Latria is a Greek term used in Roman Catholic theology to refer to the highest form of worship of God. It is sacrificial in character, and may be offered only to God. Roman Catholics offer other degrees of reverence to the Blessed Virgin Mary and to the Saints; these non-sacrificial types of reverence are called Hyperdulia and Dulia, respectively. This distinction, written about as early as Augustine of Hippo and St Jerome, was detailed more explicitly by Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologiae, A.D. 1270, II II, 84, 1: "Reveren ...
