Description

BEFORE AND AFTER ERIUGENA:

This session on the great Irish polymath will explore the possible influences on Eriugena and influences of Eriugena. We welcome papers on the connection between Augustine, Boethius and Eriugena; the Greek Fathers (Maximus Confessor, Dionysius the Areopagite, Gregory of Nyssa, Basil the Great) and the Neoplatonists (Porphyry and Calcidius). Looking forward, we welcome papers exploring the influence of Eriugena on his contemporaries and on his immediate followers, as well as on the 12th century or even further on the Renaissance.

These are the four papers:

1.Eriugena and Environmental Humanities Today: Peirce, Coleridge, and the Periphyseon [Alf Siewers]

2. The Aesthetics of Creation in Honorius Augustodunensis [Dan Yingst]

3.Eriugena’s Interpretation of the Divine Names in Thirteenth-Century Paris [Michael Harrington]

4. The Interreferentiality of Music, Soul, and Cosmos in Eriugena's Commentary on Martianus Capella's De Nuptiis, Book I [John MacInnis]
