SUMMARY:Aquinas Seminar Series: Prof John Finley on The Metaphysics of Pregnancy: Matter\, Individuation\, and Communion
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Aquinas views the human being as integrally composed of spiritual soul and matter. As in all earthly species\, matter is responsible for individuation: for the fact that many instances of ‘human’ can exist. Bodiliness can thus be viewed primarily as something that separates us from each other. Yet no less true for Aquinas are ways in which bodiliness makes possible not just relationships\, but even uniquely human forms of community. \n?After giving some examples of how matter serves as principle of both individuation and communion in human beings\, I turn to pregnancy and argue that it constitutes a paradigmatic case. (As well\, pregnancy is “where” individuation happens in the human species). Crucial to my argument is the fact that the human being is more unified in soul and body than is any other earthly substance. Consequently\, the human mother and child in utero are uniquely incommunicable toward each other. But for the same reason\, because the mother clearly bears the body of her child\, so much more uniquely does she bear—and thus unite with—the whole child\, body and soul. I conclude by noting some metaphysical and cultural ramifications of the argument.

SUMMARY:Aquinas Seminar Series: Prof Peter Hampson on ‘Appreciating the fine and discerning the good: toward a theology of affordance’
DESCRIPTION:People are situated as well as related and embodied creatures; we inhabit physical\, social\, moral and spiritual worlds each with their action potentials or affordances. Virtue acquisition is thus partly an habitual and social process entailing increasing sensitivity to the moral affordances of situations\, the fineness and fittingness of accompanying actions\, and their outcomes. It is aided by learning to see the world through the eyes of already virtuous agents.  But is there anything (psychologically speaking) beyond such moral competence?  What of those who appear to have extraordinarily high levels of moral expertise and spiritual sensitivity?  What is involved in such impressive levels of moral mastery\, imagination\, and creativity? Building on John Lederach’s experientially based reflections on peace-making\, I suggest that some already virtuous persons are sufficiently gifted to open themselves more fully to the potentialities of the world\, through a process of attentive\, passive receptivity.  They become able to discern and creatively imagine the good in situations where it is currently hidden from others. In a further move\, I briefly outline some possible theological connections with this psychological model\, with reference to Cusa’s De Possest\, to illustrate the deeper appreciation of the invisible Good (the True and Beautiful) in all that is\, seen and unseen. \nProfessor Peter Hampson\, Research Fellow\, Blackfriars Hall\, Oxford\, and Emeritus Professor of Psychology\, UWE Bristol
