Abstract: Tra pensiero e linguaggio il vincolo e molto stetto. Tra queste due
attivita dello spirito l'interdipendenza e cosi profonda che nell'uomo lo
sviluppo intellettuale e fortemente condizionato dall'apprendimento del
linguaggio, mentre, viceversa, l'apprendimento del linguaggio e sempre
proporzionato allo sviluppo del pensiero. C'e di piu: si e registrato un
rapporto di interdipendenza anche tra procedimenti logici e strutture
linguistiche, e tra la cosmovisione di una popolazione e la sua lingua. Per
esempio le lingue ad alfabeto iconico sono meno propizie all'argomentazione
logica e alla razionalizzazione scientifica e filosofica delle cose di quanto
non lo siano le lingue dotate di un alfabeto convenzionale.1986-01-01T00:00:00ZPaul Tillich's protestant principlehttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/330652018-08-29T01:44:26Z1986-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Paul Tillich's protestant principle
Abstract: An understanding of Tillich's Protestant principle is crucial if one is to
deal with this significant theologian's theology of culture. This "principle"
is fundamental in Tillich's rejection of pure autonomy and heteronomy, as
he moves toward the ideal in theonomy. The purpose of this article is first
of all to define the principle and then locate and explain its main tenets:
justification through faith; refusal to leave the boundary; resistance of
dogma; support for theological development; and rooting authority in
Grace. We will conclude with Tillich's remarks on the future significance of
this principle.1986-01-01T00:00:00ZIntention and the explanation of human actionshttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/330642018-08-29T01:44:25Z1986-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Intention and the explanation of human actions
Abstract: In 'Three Ways of Spilling Ink' J.L. Austin introduces the notion of
intention in this way:
"As I go through life, doing, as we suppose, one thing after another, I
in general always have an idea - some idea, my idea, or picture, or
notion, or conception - of what I'm up to, what I'm engaged in, what
I'm about, or in general 'what I'm doing' ... I must be supposed to
have as it were a plan, an operation-order or something of the kind on
which I'm acting, which I am seeking to put into effect, carry out in
action: only of course nothing necessarily or, usually, even faintly, so
full-blooded as a plan proper".1986-01-01T00:00:00Z
