Topic: Johannes Scotus Eriugena


  
  Johannes Scotus Eriugena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eriugena was highly proficient in Greek, which was rare at that time in mainland Europe, and was thus well-placed for translation work.
Eriugena argues the question entirely on speculative grounds, and starts with the bold affirmation that philosophy and religion are fundamentally one and the same.
Eriugena's great work, De divisione naturae (Periphyseon), which was condemned by a council at Sens by Honorius III (1225), who described it as "swarming with worms of heretical perversity," and by Gregory XIII in 1585, is arranged in five books.

 Iohannes Scotus Eriugena
Eriugena was an early translator and importer of Gregory of Nyssa, Dionysius and Maximus the Confessor into the language and hegemonic discourse(s) of Latin theology, hence, a major mediator of ideas and human values that would gain much acceptance in later medieval and renaissance culture.
If Eriugena posits the first division of nature into things that are and that are not, then his concept of nature derives not from what is intrins ic to nature, but from the rational powers of the soul that makes such discernments in the first place.
Eriugena can be seen to employ the predicate of *non esse* for God as well as for the reasons and essences of created being, since they all transcend the grasp of the human mind" (43).

 John Scottus Eriugena
Eriugena's masterpiece is undoubtedly the Periphyseon (written c.862- c.867), a long dialogue in five books between an anonymous ‘Teacher’ (nutritor) and his ‘Student’ (alumnus) that attempts to be a compendium of all knowledge presented within a Neoplatonic cosmology of the procession and return of all things from the divine One.
Eriugena, however, thinks of cause and effect as mutually dependent, relative terms (V 910d-912b): a cause is not a cause unless it produces an effect, an effect is always the effect of a cause.

Eriugena was highly proficient in Greek language Greek, which was rare at that time in mainland Europe, and was thus well-placed for translation work.
In it he seems to have advanced the doctrine that the eucharist was merely symbolical or commemorative, an opinion for which Berengarius of Tours Berengar of Tours was at a later date censured and condemned.
So far as we can learn, however, Eriugena's orthodoxy was not at the time suspected, and a few years later he was selected by Hincmar, archbishop of Reims, to defend the free will doctrine of liberty of will against the extreme predestinarianism of the monk Gottschalk (theologian) Gottschalk(Gotteschalchus).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Scotus Eriugena
As examples of primordial causes Eriugena enumerates goodness, wisdom, intuition (insight), understanding, virtue, greatness, power, etc. These are united in God, partly separate or scattered in the Word, and fully separate or scattered in the world of phenomena.
For there is underlying all Eriugena's doctrine of the origin of things the image to which he often referred, namely, that of a circle, the radii of which are united at the centre.
Eriugena's influence on the theological thought of his own and immediately subsequent generations was doubtless checked by the condemnations to which his doctrines of predestination and of the Eucharist were subjected in the Councils of Valencia (855), Langres (859), and Vercelli (1050).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dionysius the Pseudo-Areopagite
Johannes Malalas, of Antioch, who died about 565, narrates, in his "Universal Chronicle", the conversion of the judge of the Areopagus through St. Paul (Acts, xvii, 34), and praises our author as a powerful philosopher and antagonist of the Greeks (P.G., XCVII, 384; cf.
About the year 858 Scotis Eriugena, who was versed in Greek, made a new Latin translation of the Areopagite, which became the main source from which the Middle Ages obtained a knowledge of Dionysius and his doctrines.
Scotus, with his keen dialectical skill and his soaring speculative mind, found in the Areopagite a kindred spirit.

John Scotus was one of the ornaments of the court by reason of his great learning, his signal ability both as teacher and philosopher, and his blameless life.
Scotus Erigena takes up the doctrine of John of Damascus concerning the procession of the Holy Spirit and applies it to the relation of the Son to the Father: “As the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son, so is the Son born of the Father through the Holy Spirit.”
Scotus Erigena was considered a heretic or a madman while he lived, and this fact joined to the other that his views were far in advance of his age, caused his influence to be at first much less than might have been expected.

This renewed interest in Eriugena could not but inspire new editions of his works, many of which have found their natural place in the Corpus Christianorum.
One of the difficulties derives from the fact that the manuscripts of Eriugena’s master work present differences that cannot be accounted for by accidents of transcription alone.
In 1975, Eriugena’s commentary on the Celestial Hierarchy of Pseudo-Dionysius was published in the Continuatio Mediaevalis; in 1978, his De praedestinatione was edited in the same series.

Then there are those which are created and create, those which are created but do not create, and finally God again, as what rests neither created nor creating.
Eriugena declared "God is not a what but a that," and with this that true religion and true philosophy are identical.
Both of which rest upon the unity of God who is not subject to necessity but creates by his own will.

Periphyseon, Eriugena speaks of his treatise as "our physiology," and I understand his title to mean "on the phasing of nature," that is a discussion of the contention that everything is in some way everything else, a sort of, shall we say it,
For Eriugena, the relationship between the created, the uncreated, the creating and the uncreating is bound together by the abiding presence of the Divine Ideas, read by me as reflective energies.
Notably, the metaphysical lattice‑work invoked by Eriugena is not ontological, that is, in utter, ultimate place but rather in his own word, "physiological," irreducibly organic.
