XIV International Congress Of The SIEPM

in the country as well as in the continent and to understand at a much deeper level the connections between our history and the many faces of medieval thought and early modern scholasticism. In order to find and to justify the general topic of the congress – “Homo – Natura – Mundus: Human Beings and their Relationships” – we worked first with the obvious guiding idea that it should be comprehensive enough to include all existing research areas and to meet at least a significant amount of research interests of the SIEPM members, thus putting into consideration the historical segments “Latin Philosophy 12th-15th Centuries”, “Jewish Philosophy”, “Islamic Philosophy”, “Byzantine Philosophy”, and “Second Scholasticism”. Second, we worked with the perspective that, although our continent did not experience a “Middle Age”, as that concept is usually understood in historiography, it was deeply influenced in its very constitution in the 16th-17th Centuries, both at the levels of moral, political, and legal ideas and at the more abstract level of “mental framework” of intellectual views in theology, philosophy, and law, by Second Scholasticism. As important researches have shown, such an influence of Second Scholasticism on the mental framework of Latin American colonial societies and academic institutions might in fact be characterized through the developments in traditional areas of philosophy such as logic, philosophy of nature and metaphysics. Following Iberian models of curricula, these fields of philosophy characterized the cursus philosophicus usually taught at faculties of arts in Latin America in the colonial period – for example, at the Royal University of San Marcos in Lima, founded on 12 May 1551 or at the Royal Pontifical University of Mexico, which opened on 21 September 1551. However, it is notorious that it was in the area of “practical philosophy” – and, say, philosophical “anthropology” – that Second Scholasticism, as our most obvious connection with medieval philosophical thought in terms of history of ideas, touched from the beginning Latin America. In these areas we find a comprehensive and interrelated set of subjects, summarized under the heading “Human Beings and their Relationships”, which we propose to be investigated and discussed by all members of the SIEPM, under their many different perspectives. Interrelated subjects within the heading just mentioned will be found and studied under the general themes of "I. Homo et communitas", "II. Natura et mundus", "III. Politia et res publicae" and "IV. Lex". We take this set of connected themes as relevant as such, i.e. as significant to our vision and study of medieval thought as a whole, irrespective of any necessary comparison to the many forms of Second Scholasticism. We take those topics as a valuable opportunity for new investigation and research in all historical areas of our Société.

XIV International Congress Of The SIEPM

We are pleased to have the opportunity to bring for the first time the International Congress of the SIEPM to South America (Brazil) and see this as a very special occasion both to further the study of medieval philosophy in the country as well as in the continent and to understand at a much deeper level the connections between our history and the many faces of medieval thought and early modern scholasticism. In order to find and to justify the general topic of the congress – “Homo – Natura – Mundus: Human Beings and their Relationships” – we worked first with the obvious guiding idea that it should be comprehensive enough to include all existing research areas and to meet at least a significant amount of research interests of the SIEPM members, thus putting into consideration the historical segments “Latin Philosophy 12th-15th Centuries”, “Jewish Philosophy”, “Islamic Philosophy”, “Byzantine Philosophy”, and “Second Scholasticism”.
