0. Hamelin once said that Descartes was a direct successor of the ancients, almost as if, with the exception of a few naturalists, there had been no philosophical thought between the ancients and Descartes. The refutation of this view seems to be the driving force in the philosophical development of Etienne Gilson. From his earliest research on Descartes, up to the present, Gilson has, in one way or another, attempted to point out both the validity of medieval philosophy and its historical influence on the moderns. Gilson's recent publication, History of Christian Philosophy in the Middle Ages,' must be seen within this broad framework. He attempts to show that there is a validly constituted system of thought called Christian Philosophy. This book is a comprehensive analysis of philosophical thought from the second century to the fifteenth century, from the Greek Apologists through Nicolas of Cusa. During this period we find that philosophical thought exiists only within a theological context. The Christians had the divinely inspired books of Holy Scripture; but in these canonical writings there are terms of Greek philosophical origin. C'hristian Philosophy is understood therefore as " the use made of philosophical notions by the Christian Writers " (iii). It was not that the nature of Revelation was such that it should be made philosophical. It was, rather, the particular dynamism of man as he attempted to support Revelation rationally. It is in this sense that Gilson understands the existence of a philosophy that takes its inspiration from the truths of Revelation. The theme of the volume is simply stated: " Every time educated Christians came in contact with Greek philosophical sources, there was a blossoming of theological and philosophical speculations " (540). The book starts with a discussion of the Greek Apologists. They, the first Fathers of the Church, directed their writings to a defense and explanation of their beliefs against the pagans. Since the first language of the Church was Greek, these men wrote in Greek, the language of philosophy; thereby began a dialogue between Christianity and philosophy. It is with the next period, entitled Early Christian Speculation, that we find a conscious use of Greek philosophical thought. Neoplatonism was used to explain the Christian Faith. Clement of Alexandria had even believed that God had guided the Greek philosophers. After this introductory section, we move on to the major part of the book. If one would permits such a classification-it is made with realization that it iIs only one perspective-there are three categories of philosopher: major, to which more than eighteen pages are devoted; intermediate, between eight and fifteen pages; and minor, less than six pages. In the category of major we have four philosophers: Avicenna (29 pp.), St. Albert (22), Roger Bacon (18), and St. Thomas (22). In the category of intermediate there are eleven: St. Augustine (11), Boethius (9), Scotus Erigena (9), St. Anselm (11), Abelard (9), Averroes (9), William of Auvergne (9),

The word 'ethics' is under siege in technology policy circles. Weaponized in support of deregulation, self-regulation or handsoff governance, "ethics" is increasingly identified with technology companies' self-regulatory efforts and with shallow appearances of ethical behavior. So-called "ethics washing" by tech companies is on the rise, prompting criticism and scrutiny from scholars and the tech community at large. In parallel to the growth of ethics washing, its condemnation has led to a tendency to engage in "ethics bashing." This consists in the trivialization of ethics and moral philosophy now understood as discrete tools or pre-formed social structures such as ethics boards, self-governance schemes or stakeholder groups. The misunderstandings underlying ethics bashing are at least threefold: (a) philosophy and "ethics" are seen as a communications strategy and as a form of instrumentalized cover-up or façade for unethical behavior, (b) philosophy is understood in opposition and as alternative to political representation and social organizing and (c) the role and importance of moral philosophy is downplayed and portrayed as mere "ivory tower" intellectualization of complex problems that need to be dealt with in practice. This paper argues that the rhetoric of ethics and morality should not be reductively instrumentalized, either by the industry in the form of "ethics washing," or by scholars and policy-makers in the form of "ethics bashing." Grappling with the role of philosophy and ethics requires moving beyond both tendencies and seeing ethics as a mode of inquiry that facilitates the evaluation of competing tech policy strategies. In other words, we must resist narrow reductivism of moral philosophy as instrumentalized performance and renew our faith in its intrinsic moral value as a mode of knowledgeseeking and inquiry. Far from mandating a self-regulatory scheme or a given governance structure, moral philosophy in fact facilitates the questioning and reconsideration of any given practice, situating it within a complex web of legal, political and economic institutions. Moral philosophy indeed can shed new light on human practices by adding needed perspective, explaining the relationship between technology and other worthy goals, situating technology within the human, the social, the political. It has become urgent to start considering technology ethics also from within and not only from outside of ethics.

This chapter introduces some of the guiding questions of the investigation, here drawing on Pierre Hadot’s text Philosophy as a Way of Life. These questions include: how should we understand the nature of spiritual goods? What is the relationship between a tradition’s world view and its conception of the well-lived human life? How should we conceive of the connection between the different vocabularies that can be used to describe progress in the spiritual life, for instance, those involving metaphysical and experiential categories? What epistemic conditions, if any, does a world view need to meet if it is to be capable of informing a spiritual ideal of life? And what is the contribution of tradition in shaping our understanding of the spiritual life? The key concept that runs through this volume is Thomas Aquinas’s notion of infused moral virtue, and this chapter also introduces this notion and considers its fruitfulness for addressing the second of these questions, concerning the relationship between world view and ideal of life. A contrast is drawn between Aquinas’s account of these matters, according to which some spiritual goods—the goods that are the object of the infused moral virtues—cannot be identified independently of reference to our theological or metaphysical context, and Hadot’s account, according to which ethical or spiritual ideals come first, and provide the basis for metaphysical commitments. We note some reasons for thinking that this distinction between the two authors should not be too sharply drawn.

Starting from Greg Moore's description about Physical Mathematics, a framework is proposed in order to understand it, based on Gilles Châtelet's philosophy. It will be argued that Châtelet's ideas of inverting, splitting, augmenting and virtuality are crucial in the discussion about the nature of Physical Mathematics. Along this line, it will be proposed that mirror symmetry is a natural study case to test Châtelet's ideas in this context. This should be considered as a first step in a long term project aiming to study the relations among mathematics, physics and philosophy in the construction of a global understanding of the structure of the universe, as it was envisioned by Grothendieck in the late 80's of the last century and it was started to be developed independently by Châtelet in the beginning of the 90's. The main suggestion of the essay is that it is in the relations between mathematics, physics and philosophy that new knowledge arises.

Scientific cosmology has now reached its period of maturity with the establishment of a standard model, which is the theory of an expanding universe. The question of whether this expansion resolves itself, in the past, into a singularity identifiable with an absolute beginning, or whether the universe in which we are is only one of the multiple possible universes existing either in space or in time, is still under debate. Moreover, the assimilation of the beginning of the universe to a "creation" has often been contested by theology, which, since Thomas Aquinas, if not since the Fathers of the Church, tends to carefully distinguish the two. In the following article, after briefly summarizing some points in the recent history of scientific cosmology, we will attempt to present in broad outline the standard model that scientists have arrived at. Then, we will undertake to study some of the problems it raises as well as the alternative theories that can be opposed to it. Finally, we will discuss the problematic links that scientific cosmology continues to maintain with philosophy and theology, notably the thorny question of creation from nothing ({\it creatio ex nihilo}).
