Las rutas de la seda en la historia de España y Portugal

AAVV

Las vías de comunicación que se establecieron desde la antigüedad entre los continentes de Europa y Asia, conocidas como las «Rutas de la Seda», facilitaron la difusión de esta actividad manufacturera en la península Ibérica a partir de su conquista por el Islam en el siglo VIII. Sin embargo, fueron los comerciantes italianos que revitalizaron aquellas rutas a finales del siglo XIII los que más contribuyeron a su estímulo y renovación. Como España y Portugal protagonizaron posteriormente los descubrimientos geográficos y establecieron la comunicación directa por vía marítima con Asia y con América, lograron otorgar una dimensión mundial a las rutas vinculadas con el comercio de la seda. En el presente volumen se ofrece un panorama general de la importancia adquirida por la seda en la historia de España y Portugal a partir de 14 estudios realizados por los principales especialistas en la materia existentes en las universidades de ambos países.

Summa Theologica, Part II-II (Secunda Secundae)

Thomas Aquinas

Summa Theologica, Part II-II (Secunda Secundae) Thomas Aquinas – The Summa Theologiae (Latin: Compendium of Theology or Theological Compendium; also subsequently called the Summa Theologica or simply the Summa, written 1265-1274) is the best-known work of Thomas Aquinas (c.1225-1274), and although unfinished, «one of the classics of the history of philosophy and one of the most influential works of Western literature.» It is intended as a manual for beginners in theology and a compendium of all of the main theological teachings of the Church. It presents the reasoning for almost all points of Christian theology in the West. The Summa's topics follow a cycle: the existence of God; Creation, Man; Man's purpose; Christ; the Sacraments; and back to God. (courtesy of wikipedia.com).
This is part 2-2, 'Secunda Secundae'.
In a chain of acts of will, man strives for the highest end. They are free acts, insofar as man has in himself the knowledge of their end (and therein the principle of action). In that the will wills the end, it wills also the appropriate means, chooses freely and completes the consensus. Whether the act be good or evil depends on the end. The «human reason» pronounces judgment concerning the character of the end; it is, therefore, the law for action. Human acts, however, are meritorious insofar as they promote the purpose of God and his honor.
By repeating a good action, man acquires a moral habit or a quality which enables him to do the good gladly and easily. This is true, however, only of the intellectual and moral virtues (which Aquinas treats after the manner of Aristotle); the theological virtues are imparted by God to man as a «disposition», from which the acts here proceed; while they strengthen, they do not form it. The «disposition» of evil is the opposite alternative. An act becomes evil through deviation from the reason, and from divine moral law.

Ser padre con san José

Fabrice Hadjadj

Ya es hora de desempolvar la imagen. Ya es hora de devolverle su figura humana, porque la santidad no nos aleja de la humanidad: nos compromete con ella. José ya no es un padre ideal: es un padre muy concreto, superado «como todos los padres de este mundo» por la vida que se entrega a través de él. Y al ser su hijo el Hijo de Dios, se ve aún más superado que todos nosotros. Él solo trata de hacerlo bien, pero nunca llega a estar a la altura (¿quién puede estar a la altura del Altísimo?). Esa limitación le obligará a confiarse siempre al Padre eterno.
En doce lecciones que combinan la exégesis bíblica y la experiencia familiar, Fabrice Hadjadj nos ofrece una breve guía, ágil, profunda y a la vez desenfadada, para nuestra época de catástrofes. Se propone dar respuesta a cuestiones prácticas del estilo «¿Cómo cortejar a la Santísima Virgen?» o «¿Cómo hacerse obedecer por Dios sin pegar gritos?». Confía en demostrar, a través de José, que tanto hoy como ayer «y quizá hoy más que ayer» la paternidad es la aventura más importante y decisiva.
