Description
Summary:The doctrinal part of this study focuses on the early fourteenth-century debate concerning whether human beings are to love God more than themselves. The main protagonist in the debate is Durand of St. Pourçain, who argues that we are to love God more than ourselves, and not only by a charitable love (caritas) but also by a natural kind of friendship (amor amicitiae). In this matter he holds himself close to Aquinas's doctrine. All the participants in this debate argue against James of Viterbo, who claims that we have to assume a greater natural friendship towards ourselves than towards God. The startingpoint for James of Viterbo (and others) is Augustine, in particular his distinction between uti-frui. Augustine comes to a certain order of love: first God, than one's own soul, then our neighbour, and finally our body.
