spelling I28-R145-9713_oai2025-11-17 Ludueña, Ezequiel 2019-11-01 One of the main purposes of the Expositio in Elementationem theologicam written by Berthold of Moosburg is to show that there is a substantial agreement between Proclus’ thought and that of Paul’s disciple, “Dionysius the Areopagite”. Strongly linked to this view, is the use Berthold does of a fundamental Augustinian distinction, namely the distinction between the ordo providentiae naturalis and the ordo providentiae voluntariae. Berthold understands that these do not oppose each other; in fact, essentially, they agree. The relation between the thought of Proclus and that of Dionysius can be understood on the base of that distinction. In his Elementatio theologica, Proclus writes from the point of view of the ordo providentiae naturalis, whereas Dionysius (generally) writes from the point of view of the ordo providentiae voluntariae. That is the reason why a dialogue can be built between Proclus and Dionysius. In order to do this, regarding Proclus’ metaphysical polytheism, Berthold employs as a mediator the Eriugenian teaching about the causae primordiales. This can be proved by paying attention to the way Berthold introduces his Eriugenian quotes, always as a Christian consideration of things according to the ordo providentiae naturalis, which, at the same time, is to be read as a Christian and philosophical interpretation of Dionysius’ thought. Uno de los objetivos de la Expositio in Elementationem theologicam de Bertoldo de Moosburg es señalar un acuerdo substancial entre el pensamiento de Proclo y el del discípulo de Pablo, “Dionisio Areopagita”. En este sentido, es importante el empleo que hace Bertoldo de un distingo agustiniano: aquel entre el orden de la providencia voluntaria y el orden de la providencia natural. Para Bertoldo, estas no se oponen; al contrario, están, en lo esencial, de acuerdo. Un ejemplo de esta armonía está dado precisamente por la coincidencia fundamental que Bertoldo cree advertir entre Proclo –cuya Elementatio representa el punto de vista del orden de la providencia natural– y Dionisio –que, en general, ofrece el punto de vista del orden de la providencia voluntaria. Construir un diálogo entre ambos pensadores es uno de los principales objetivos de Bertoldo. Ahora bien, en ese proyecto, al pensamiento eriugeniano le está reservado un papel preciso, en particular en lo concerniente a la comprensión de la metafísica politeísta de Proclo. Resulta revelador atender a la forma en que Bertoldo introduce las citas de sus varias fuentes eriugenianas. Parece claro que, en la Expositio, el eriugeniano es entendido como un pensamiento cristiano de orden filosófico que media entre Proclo y Dionisio, entre un platonismo pagano y un platonismo cristiano. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/9713 10.34096/cf.n73.9713 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/9713/8553 Cuadernos de filosofía; Núm. 73 (2019); 11-18 2362-485X 0590-1901 Proclus Dionysius Berthold of Moosburg Eriugena providence Proclo Dionisio Bertoldo de Moosburg Eriúgena providencia Proclus, Dionysius, and Eriugenian Thought in the Expositio of Berthold of Moosburg Proclo, Dionisio y el pensamiento eriugeniano en la Expositio de Bertoldo de Moosburg info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cufilo&d=9713_oai
