I28-R145-7878_oai2020-08-31 D'Amico, Claudia 2001-08-06 This article places Nicholas of Cuse’s work, De concordantia catholica, within the frame of the councilistic tradition of the Low Middle Ages. It shows how Cusa finds the possibility of a concordance –by definition always provisory and “conjectural”– among the members of the Christian society (unitas fidelium). In that sense, it reconstructs the articulation between a theocratic or descendent scheme of temporal power and the doctrine of consent. The article also illustrates the fact that, having that combination as its source, a particular conception of representation results: Council and Empire, ultimate organisers of the spiritual and social needs of the unitas fidelium are, respectively, the representatives of God and popular consent. Este artículo inscribe a la obra de Nicolás de Cusa, De concordantia catholica, al interior del marco de la tradición conciliar de la Baja Edad Media. Se muestra cómo Nicolás encuentra la posibilidad de una concordancia –por definición siempre provisoria y “conjetural”– entre los miembros de la sociedad cristiana (unitas fidelium). En este sentido, se reconstruye la articulación entre un esquema teocrático o descendente del poder temporal y la doctrina del consentimiento. También se señala que, teniendo esta combinación como su fuente, resulta una conceptión particular de representación: Concilio e Imperio, organizados últimos de las necesidades espirituales y sociales de la unitas fideliumson, respectivamente, los representantes de Dios y del consentimiento popular. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7878 10.34096/petm.v20017878 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/petm/article/view/7878/6936 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol 22 (2001); 45-57 Patristica et Mediævalia; Vol. 22 (2001); 45-57 2683-9636 0325-2280 Councilistic tradition Nicholas of Cuse Theocratic frame Doctrine of consent Unitas fidelium Tradición conciliar Nicolás de Cusa esquema teocrático doctrina del consentimiento unitas fidelium Consensus and Representation in the De concordantia catholica of Nicholas of Cuse Consensus y representación en el De concordantia catholica de Nicolás de Cusa info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=patris&d=7878_oai |
