Positiones evolvendae – contrapositiones tollendae

 

I Radix (1) qui inquirit intelligit cogitat reflectitur iudicat

                        utitur reali illa mente quam Deus ei donavit

                          cui correspondet ‘reale’ cognoscendum

            (2) qui vere cognoscit scdm inq. int. cog.

                        (a) recte dirigit operations suas

positio             (b) recte interpretatur quod per operationes innotescit

                        (c) harmonia inter (1) et (2)

            (3) qui erronee concipit inq. int. cog. refl. iud.

                        (a) falso dirigit operationes suas

contra              (b) falso interpretatur quod per operationes innotescit

positio             (c) minime deponit veram suam mentem

                                    unde conflictus plus minus aperti

 

II Contrapositiones propter internam suam incohaerentiam

            sunt facile mobiles [non in eadem mente sed in successione generationum]

    Prior error impugnatur

    Sed non ideo attingitur veritas

 

    Secunda positio est contra primam et haec contrarietas est intrinseca quodammodo

 

    Unde C.P. non solum sunt contra veritatem circa int, rem

                        Sed etiam sunt aliae contra alias.

 

III Unde investigatio historica – principium heuristicum superius

            potest invenire [et] debet quaerere tales seriationes

 

            aliis verbis (1) datur objectiva quaedam dialectica

                                    quae inter se coniungit doctrinas

                                    successores et mutuo oppositas

                               (2) investigans eas cognoscit prout sunt sub aspectu dialectico

                               (3) unde complet unificationes factas immediate ex ipsis datis

 

[page 3]

 

IV Tertius aspectus methodologicus

            (a) ipse investigans est aliquis in processu historico

            (b) sed interpretatio potest esse positio [vel] contrapositio in serie interpretationum

            (c) sunt diversi methodi         

                        (i) interconnexio immediate datorum in singulis auctoribus

                        (ii) reductio ad ‘fontes’

                              quid fontes significant, ad? alii fontes

                        (iii) usurpatur altior interconnexio dialectica

                                    secundum hanc illamve philosophiam, theologiam

                               excluditur talis meth scdm quamlibet philosophiam [?]
