- TAMAR ET LA FEMME DE POTIPHAR : DEUX RÉACTIONS CONTRASTANTES FACE À LA
VULNÉRABILITÉ
Abstract: Chi Ai Nguyen
Through a narrative reading of two biblical stories, we seek to show the contrast between two female characters. Tamar (Genesis 38) and Potiphar’s wife (Genesis 39) are both in a very fragile situation. The first is sent away from her in-laws with a false promise that could make her husband’s name disappear from the face of the earth. The second is frustrated to have her desire spurned by a servant who has become her husband’s assistant. The reactions of the two women, however, are quite different. Tamar follows through with her frailty in order to help Judah, her father-in-law, to assume his own. As for Potiphar’s wife, being vulnerable after a failed attempt at seduction, she goes through with her wickedness to accuse Joseph of her own desire. The two ways of responding give two different results. Tamar’s conduct is recognized as just by Judah. In contrast, the false accusation of Potiphar’s wife locks an innocent person in prison. From these two stories, we learn that, depending on our reaction, vulnerability can have a positive or negative effect.
- ÉTUDE DE LA ZOO-POÉTIQUE DU LIVRE DE QOHÉLET (I)
Abstract: Jean-Jacques Lavoie
This article aims at answering the following questions: How does Qohelet conceive of the relationship between the human world and the animal world' Is it a relationship that emphasizes the differences between these two worlds or their similarities' Are these relations envisaged from the angle of peaceful or conflictual coexistence' Between humans and animals, is there a relationship of cohabitation or domination' The answers to these questions will make it possible to discover, on the one hand, that the borders between the animal world and the human world are porous and, on the other hand, that there are relations of domination in each of the two worlds, and between these two worlds, these relations being moreover not foreign to the theology of Qohelet.
- « COMME UN BOEUF, IL VIENT VERS L’ABATTOIR » : animalité,
passivité et partie de chasse en Pr 7,22-23
Abstract: Laurence Darsigny-Trépanier
In this paper, the author has for objective to understand the identity of two characters in Proverbs 7: that of the strange woman, often represented as a seductress, and that of the young man, often identified as a simpleton. By analyzing, in verses 22-23 of chapter 7, the way the young man is compared to three animals destined to an imminent death, the author is able to identify those two important characters in Proverbs differently. Being reduced to a prey, the young man now can be considered as a passive and powerless being facing the power of the strange woman, the latter being described, in fact, not as a seductress, but as a huntress and a serial killer.
- ROMANS 1:3-4: AN EXAMINATION OF ITS PRIMITIVE CHARACTER
Abstract: Patrick Craine
In his salutation in Romans, Paul inserts two verses, 1:3-4, explaining the message of the gospel with unusual expressions. The meaning of this passage has been hotly debated for centuries. In 1976, biblical scholar Martin Hengel wrote that “in recent years, more has been written about this text than about any other New Testament text.” A crucial point of the debate has been the origin of the verses, namely: To what extent is Rom. 1:3-4 from a pre-Pauline tradition' In this paper, we examine the evidence that Paul draws on an existing creedal formula and propose a hypothesis for delineating the pre-Pauline and Pauline material. As we proceed, we seek to discern what our analysis might reveal about how Christians’ understanding of their faith developed in the earliest decades of Christianity.
- « ET JESUS PLEURA » : le commentaire de Thomas
d’Aquin sur Jean 11,35
Abstract: Jean-Paul Tagheu, o.p.
The theology of Thomas Aquinas on the human passions of Christ is greatly influenced by that of the Fathers of the Church and especially that of Augustine. Thomas Aquinas points to three main causes of Christ’s trouble and sorrow. The first is human: It is the expression of the Incarnation of the Son of God. Weeping reveals Christ’s sensitivity corporaliter, emotions being the expression of human corporeity. The second cause is ethical: it translates compassion, love and mercy of Christ. It also teaches the norm and the emotional measure in reaction against the insensitivity and the indifference of the Stoics in the face of the passions. As for the third cause, Thomas connects it with the emotion of Christ, piety, discretion and the power of reason, using in that occurrence the term propassio. Moreover, Thomas makes Christ the model for all the afflicted.
- PHYSICIAN CONSCIENCE
Abstract: William Sweet
In a number of jurisdictions in Europe and in North America, and particularly in Canada, the introduction and expansion of the conditions under which a patient may request euthanasia or assisted suicide – what is called, in Canada, ‘medical assistance in dying’ (MAiD) – has led to an increased concern about whether a physician may ethically refuse to perform such procedures – or, indeed, any legal medical procedure that lies within her practice. I argue that a physician may, sometimes, ethically refuse to perform such medical procedures. I begin with a clarification of some key terms: ‘acting on conscience’ (sometimes called conscientious objection), health, medicine, and ‘the duty of the physician.’ I then present some arguments to show that a physician is bound to provide medical care only under conditions entailed by or consistent with the aim of medicine. I consider some objections to this claim, and, then, show why these objections fail.
- AUTOPOIESIS AND LIFE IN HEGEL’S SCIENCE OF LOGIC
Abstract: Emmanuel Chaput
In this paper, I address the issue of Hegel’s Science of Logic as a self-producing system of thought developing itself through a process of self-contradiction and reconciliation. Such a process can be understood in a certain way as an anticipation of the notion of autopoiesis later developed by the biologists Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela. The processualism and self-development of the concept through the progressive determination of logical categories, from the most abstract (or indeterminate) determinations of Being and Nothingness to the most concrete form of the concept should thus be read as the narrative of thought’s self-development as a form of life. Looking at Hegel’s logic through the lens of autopoiesis allows us to grasp the central importance of the ‘Life’ chapter of the Science of Logic as a hermeneutical device for the understanding of the logical process within the Logic.
