Knowledge and Symbolization in Saint John of the Cross
The works of Juan de la Cruz contains numerous passages dealing with human cognition both ordinary and mystical. This study traces San Juan's examination of the mystic's knowledge in and through God. The sixteenth-century Spanish thinker stresses that conditionality is a fundamental character of all human knowledge, and brings to light a complex movement of contiguity between one and another mode of cognitive activity. Also discussed is the expression, through the instruments of prose and poetry, of the mystic's supereminent and therefore ineffable experience of knowledge and love. Relying upon Juan de la Cruz's own texts, it is shown how a relative communication can be effected despite the barriers separating mystical from ordinary cognition.
Diego de Covarrubias y Leyva
Esta Salamanca orgullosa de sus hijos más notables —incluso de quienes son adoptivos— no debería olvidar, cuando se cumplen 500 años de su nacimiento, a uno de sus eruditos y humanistas más internacionales, jurista y teólogo, presidente del Consejo de Castilla, embajador español en el Concilio de Trento, hombre de mirada penetrante retratado por Alonso Sánchez Coello e inmortalizado como un noble anciano por el Greco, tanto en su retrato como en el gran mural de «El entierro del conde de Orgaz». Diego de Covarrubias y Leyva (1512-1577), personaje influyente y respetado ya en su época, al que los estudiosos actuales consideran una figura de primer orden, no goza en Salamanca, si...

La Europa del siglo XVI
La Parte I se ocupa de las realidades económicas y sociales de la época. Se abre con el estudio de una de las raras constantes que es posible hallar en el XVI: la preeminencia social de que disfrutan los nobles (cap. 1). Después, esto se pone en relación con los síntomas de expansión en ese mundo social, la exploración ultramarina y el crecimiento de la población (cap. 2). Cronológica y metodológicamente estos temas preceden a una revisión del desarrollo político que se concreta en la teoría del Estado y en las manifestaciones prácticas del poder estatal (cap. 3). Las ciudades (cap. 4), que fueron tan importantes al propiciar la Reforma, nos ofrecen un puente natural hacia la P...
Proportionalism
One of the most heated debates in recent times among Christian ethicians has been over what has come to be called "proportionalism." Opponents have argued that proportionalists are intent on relativizing theology norms and theh concept of intrinsic evil. Proponents, on the other hand, argue that they are merely developing a traditional notion of proportion of reason. Bernard Hoose puts this debate in context by showing its roots in the writings of European moral theologians and its flowering in the writings of their American colleagues. He uncovers a number of confusions that have bedeviled the argument while revealing how important the issues are for establishing in coherent Christian ethics in the twentieth century.
