Deadly passions in the life of Christians: A comparative study according to Isidore of Pelusium (c. 360-450) and Theodore Stoudites (759-826)

Eirini ARTEMI

Published in The World of Tradition

Keywords: Diseases, Isidore of Pelusium, Passions, Reconciliation, Salvation, Theodore Stoudite.

Adam and Eve served their passion of gastrimargy and their ambition to become gods without the grace of God. The result was their exile from Paradise and death. The incarnation of Logos, His crucifixion, His death on the cross and His resurrection gave a second chance of man’s salvation. Unfortunately, people do not put into practice this gift of their reconciliation to God. In this paper, we will compare the opinion of two important Church Fathers, Isidore of Pelusium and Theodore Stoudite. It is important to underline for what kind of passions these Church Fathers speak. Do they relate the passions only with monks or general with Christians? How can we get rid of a passion? Can their teaching be put into practice in nowadays? Which is the worst passion according to them? Are diseases and pandemic a punishment of God for our sins? Of course, we should explain that the passions in the life of a Christian can be proved deadly, but they have no connection with the view that diseases are punishments from God for our passions.

The passions in Plato's The Republic and Ion: possibilities of philosophical inquiry

Jan G. J. TER REEGEN and Ana Alice MENESCAL

Original title: As paixões em A República e Íon de Platão: possibilidades do pensar filosófico

Published in Aristocracy and nobility in the Ancient and Medieval World

Keywords: Aristocracy, Ion, Passions, Plato, Republic.

This article analyzes Plato's arguments regarding passions. In Ion, Plato proposes that passions are something poetic, beautiful and necessary to man, in The Republic something that takes man away from the path of reason, making him lose his strength. That is why the philosopher defends the banishment of poets from his republic. It is worth noting that The Republic is one of the texts that best reflects the aristocratic origin of Plato. The object of analysis proposed here are the passions in two dialogues: a Socratic (Ion) one and another of the philosopher’s maturity (The Republic).

Wet words. Representation of passions and aquatic metaphors in De Noe by Ambrose of Milan

Lidia Raquel MIRANDA

Original title: Palabras mojadas. Representación de las pasiones y metáforas acuáticas en Noé de Ambrosio de Milán

Published in Senses and sensibilities in classical and medieval worlds

Keywords: Ambrose of Milan, Metaphor, Noah, Passions, Water.

De Noe by Ambrose of Milan (ca. 378) reflects on the human condition and the consequences of man's actions in the natural order. The Christian commentator exposes the patriarch’s life, customs and acts since an allegorical interpretation of Scripture and considering him as the prototype of the just and wise man, crossed by passions but who manages to choose the right path. The ark is a symbol of the world, from which it is possible understand the system of analogies on which the text is based, since it is also a representative figure of the body and the person. Thus, the ark is presented as the condition of sinners –unstable, corruptible, and at the mercy of the swings of the soul–, a figure that gives rise to a set of metaphors around water and aquatic issues. We focus on the philological and discursive analysis of these metaphors with the aim of explaining their symbolic projections and their moral reach.
