1. DIGNITAS DILECTIONIS MUNUS. DIGNITÀ UMANA E FEDE CRISTIANA.

Author

Rossetti, Carlo Lorenzo

Abstract

Dignity is the foundation of human rights and therefore is basic for the legislation of democratic states. This essay, based on Scripture and the Magisterium (with special regard to conciliar texts and those of St. John Paul II), shows the central place of this topic in Christian faith. In fact, the entire Catholic creed is a powerful statement reinforcing human dignity. The starting point (protology) is the creatural and ethical dignity of the person, which is shared also by other religions as by the best ethical tradition (Kant). In Christian soteriology we can distinguish a threefold dignity: ontological, ethical and eschatological (Filiation - Holiness - Glory). The paradox revealed by redemption through the Cross is also stressed. The essay offers some synthetic theses, which among other things, define dignity as sacredness and holiness according to which the supreme manifestation of one's own (ethical) dignity consists in protecting and saving the (ontological) dignity of those who apparently cannot claim it. This happens through compassion, mercy and ecological care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Waddell, Michael M.

Subjects
*COGNITION, *PROBLEM solving, *THEORY of knowledge, *GLORY, *PARTICIPATION, *BEATIFIC vision
Abstract

In this essay, I examine Thomas Aquinas's doctrine of the light of glory (lumen gloriae). I begin by describing the function of the lumen gloriae in Aquinas's account of cognition and his broader teaching, thereby indicating what is at stake in the success of this doctrine (section two); then I attempt to solve two difficult problems that arise from Aquinas's teaching on the light of glory (sections three and four).

Abstract

El artículo presenta los aportes más importantes y significativos de la gracia en Nicolás de Cusa específicamente en la obra De visione Dei, en torno al tema de la gracia como posibilidad del encuentro entre Dios y el hombre. Específicamente se tratará el tema de la gracia en torno a tres dimensiones: en tanto gracia de Dios en la dinámica del rostro, del hombre como ser agraciado en relación constitutiva con Dios y los frutos que la gracia realiza en cada ser humano. A su vez el escrito pretende ser un aporte a la renovación del tratado de gracia en orden a la mística, por lo que se propone un esbozo sistemático en orden a la posibilidad del encuentro desde la dimensión ontológica, gnoseológica y escatológica. The article presents the most important and significant contribution of the Grace in Nicolás de Cusa, specifically in the piece of work ´De Visione Dei´, related to the subject of the Grace as a possibility of the encounter among God and Man. Specifically it will deal with the matter of Grace in three dimensions: as a God´s grace in the face dynamic, of man as a graceful being in a constituent relationship with God and the fruits that the grace makes in every human being. At the same time, the book pretends to be a contribution to the renovation of the treatise of grace related to the mysticism, that´s why it shows a systematic outline in order to the possibility of the encounter from the ontological, epistemological and eschatological dimension.
