Topic: John 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'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.
Eriugena's work is distinguished by the freedom of his speculation, and the boldness with which he works out his logical or dialectical system of the universe.

 The Catholic Encyclopedia - John Scotus Eriugena   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
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).

 Iohannes Scotus Eriugena
He characterizes Eriugena's conception as follows: "the incontrovertibility of truth is at the same time the principle and the criterion of the recognition of both the positive results of inquiry and its inevitable incompleteness" (121).
Her ultimate question, as she places Eriugena within the context of his traditional sources (143-145), is the extent to which Eriugena's use of the principles of apophasis remains firmly within the tradition of its eastern source and the extent to which it incorporates Augustinian elements (142).
Eriugena's ontology is different from Maximus' in that he fully works out the metaphysical implications of the principle of creation as participation to formulate concept of creation as divine self-creation.

 John Duns Scotus at Erratic Impact's Philosophy Research Base
John Duns Scotus, Scottish theologian and philosopher, was founder of a school of Scholasticism known as Scotism.
Scotus combined the Aristotelian theory of knowledge directed to the nature of physical objects as achievable by the abstractive power of the intellect with the Franciscan view of the soul as a substance in its own right with powers of intellection not confined to sensible reality.
Scotus, who was a Scot, and Ockham, who was English, both studied and taught at Oxford, were both members of the Franciscan order, the order established at the beginning of the 13th century by Francis of Assissi.

 John Scottus Eriugena
John's view was condemned by the (regional, not ecumenical) Councils of Valence (855) and Langres (859).
Eriugena is sometimes cited as the great mediaeval rationalist, the one mediaeval thinker who was able to resist the stifling domination of dogma and superstition and exalt the freedom of pure reason over blind faith.
Eriugena is strongly influenced by Pseudo-Dionysius and by Gregory of Nyssa.

For Eriugena the lower is the negation of the higher, and the higher is the negation of the lower.
Eriugena's fourth distinction owes the most to Parmenides and Plato, and is the opposite of the third.
John Scotus Eriugena's fifth distinction follows Augustine more closely than his others in referring to the human nature tainted by sin as not having being.

 John Scottus Eriugena
Eriugena returns in Book Three to give a very complex discussion of the meaning of ‘ex nihilo’ in the concept of creatio ex nihilo, which makes use of some of these modes of being and non-being, and, in general, these modes should be borne in mind when interpreting Eriugena's more overt metaphysical statements.
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.

 Il mistero di Dio in Giovanni Scoto Eriugena
His soubriquet ‘Eriugena’ (‘born of Erin’) - was a mixed term of his own invention from the old Celtic language (Eriu is the Celtic name for Ireland) and from the Greek (‘gena’ = ‘born, originating from’) - on which language he was perhaps the only true expert in the Medieval West.
Scotus Eriugena’s translation became, therefore, vital for the Latin West’s knowledge and understanding of Dionysius, and of other important Greek patristic writers, such as Maximus the Confessor, the brilliant commentator on Dionysius, and Gregory of Nyssa.
However, Eriugena occasionally goes to extremes in his efforts to show and explicate this union, falling into a complex and daring language which resulted in his doctrine, based on divine theophany, being accused later of pantheism, that is, of believing that the divine nature is immanent in all creation.

 Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology: John Scotus Eriugena
However, Eriugena asserts that God may be said to be created in creatures, thus raising a marked tension in his thought between the Augustinian theological legacy and Neoplatonic pantheism.
There is ambiguity in Eriugena’s claim that they are not a preexisting ‘stuff’ from which God creates this world and in which, therefore, all worldly things participate.
Eriugena works out damnation as a kind of privation: all human persons will rise with spiritualized bodies and will possess all natural goods, but only the elect will be deified.

Yet John's basic position determined the tone of Christian thought for centuries, being developed by all later thinkers, and being far more influential than was ever officially acknowledged.
It is arguable that he is evident even in the modern world in the romantic ideologies which underpin such movements as Hippies, eco-activism, alternative medicine and so-called New Age thought.
As he failed to submit his work for Papal approval, John went out of favour, and through the Council of Sens in 1225 and by Pope Gregory XIII in 1585, his works were condemned as heretical.
