About How Angels Can Show Humans the Path to Rebellion. A Reading from John Wyclif
On this occasion, we will present some reflections related to a key theme of the Medieval Christian West, angelology, in John Wyclif’s thoughts (c. 1328-1384). Our proposal –which was triggered by an article by David Luscombe– is that a passage from Chapter XV of the Tractatus de ecclesia (TDE), by...

I28-R260-article-134092024-07-22T18:42:46Z About How Angels Can Show Humans the Path to Rebellion. A Reading from John Wyclif Sobre cómo los ángeles pueden mostrarle el camino hacia la rebelión a los humanos. Una lectura desde John Wyclif Devia, Cecilia Angels. Hierarchy. John Wyclif. Sin. Rebellion. Ángeles. Jerarquía. John Wyclif. Pecado. Rebelión. On this occasion, we will present some reflections related to a key theme of the Medieval Christian West, angelology, in John Wyclif’s thoughts (c. 1328-1384). Our proposal –which was triggered by an article by David Luscombe– is that a passage from Chapter XV of the Tractatus de ecclesia (TDE), by the so-called Doctor evangelicus, will allow us to see how, according to his point of view, angels can show humans the path to rebellion, which we will connect with their reform projects. To this end, we will analyze the source and brief passages from other works by Wyclif, where we will find and review what can be considered as contradictions or ambiguities. We will also draw on specialized and updated bibliography. In our path we will begin by referring to angels in the medieval West, whose presence was overwhelming, both in the daily aspects of humans and in the extensive and profound theoretical studies that have been dedicated to them. Then we will introduce our author, emphasizing his relationship with the angels. Subsequently, we will fully approach the research topic chosen for this opportunity: to analyze how Wyclif states that angels open the way for humans to rebellion. We will see the passage in which the English thinker offers a very particular vision of a key topic of angelology: the confrontation between the heavenly hosts and the fallen angels. His position on these theological issues is of special interest from a political philosophical point of view. Presentaremos en esta oportunidad algunas reflexiones relacionadas con un tema clave del Occidente cristiano medieval, la angelología, en el pensamiento de John Wyclif (c. 1328-1384). Nuestra propuesta –sobre la que actuó a modo de disparador un artículo de David Luscombe– es que un pasaje del Capítulo XV del Tractatus de ecclesia (TDE), obra del también denominado Doctor evangelicus, nos permitirá ver cómo, según su punto de vista, los ángeles pueden mostrarle a los humanos el camino hacia la rebelión, lo que conectaremos con sus proyectos de reforma. Para avanzar sobre ello nos valdremos del análisis de la fuente en cuestión y de breves pasajes de otras obras de Wyclif, donde encontraremos lo que en una primera instancia pueden considerarse contradicciones o ambigüedades que nos interesan revisar. También recurriremos a bibliografía especializada y actualizada. En nuestro recorrido comenzaremos por referirnos muy brevemente a los ángeles en el Occidente medieval, cuya presencia era abrumadora, tanto en los aspectos cotidianos de los seres humanos como en los cuantiosos y profundos estudios teóricos que se les han dedicado. Luego pasaremos a presentar sucintamente a nuestro autor, haciendo hincapié en su relación con los ángeles. Posteriormennte entraremos de lleno en el tema de investigación elegido para esta oportunidad, es decir, en analizar cómo Wyclif sostiene que los ángeles le abren el camino a la rebelión a los humanos. Veremos el pasaje en el que el pensador inglés ofrece una visión muy particular de un tópico clave de la angelología: el enfrentamiento entre las huestes celestiales y los ángeles caídos. Su posición sobre estos temas teológicos reviste especial interés desde el punto de vista filosófico político.
