the_rev Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 [quote]are you serious?[/quote] I thought I was serious, but if you don't think it was maybe it wasn't....
Laudate_Dominum Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 [quote name='the_rev' date='Jul 30 2005, 10:44 PM']so then a theory would be that of God or divinity? [right][snapback]665870[/snapback][/right] [/quote] No... hmm.. perhaps related to the Greek theoros which means a spectator. (I'm rusty at this stuff). or likely to English through Latin from the Greek word theoria (related to theoros) which means like.. um.. a spectacle or something you observe.
Fidei Defensor Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Ive taken: None.. Im 15.. Hurray for the youth!
jgirl Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Look it up in the OED. It will tell you all about the roots. But yeah, theory comes from theoros, which is spectator

Laudate_Dominum Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 [quote name='kateri05' date='Jul 30 2005, 11:00 PM']The Nature of Love [right][snapback]665882[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I had that class, it's considered Philosophy, just so you know. Dr. Healy right? It is among my favourite Philosophy classes of all time. There is some Theological content however. When I took it he weaved in the Theology of the Body toward the end of the semester.
kateri05 Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 well it was listed under the theology masters "pastoral emphasis" electives so i don't really know. i'm new to this! but yea, basically its TOTB, but from start to finish. here is the course description: THE 660 - PI: The Nature of Love, by Dr. Michael Healy, examines the philosophical nature of love. It examines love as a response to value and as a gift; the role of desiring union in love and the intention of seeing the beloved happy, as well as the relationship of love and morality, and caritas. It also treats the role of sexuality in love, emphasizing the contributions in thought by Dietrich von Hildebrand and Karol Wojtyla.
Fides_et_Ratio Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 L_D, my profs at FUS were: Dr. Hildebrand (loved him) Dr. Asci (loved him) Prof. DeMeo (in austria... he was an ITI student, and pretty good) Dr. Miravalle (pretty good... my only complaint was that he talked about himself and being on TV too much) Fr. Frinsko (BLECH!) (off to finish packing for my cruise!)
