Resumo
Este trabalho apresenta o paradigma antropológico paulino-agostiniano da ambivalência do eu-moral, cuja importância histórica foi revolucionar a antropologia intelectualista grega e introduzir uma nova interpretação do binômio saúde e doença. A antropologia paulino-agostiniana compreendeu a ambivalência do eu-moral como doença estrutural do homem, condição conflitante que clama por solução. A cura foi interpretada como superação da ambivalência do eu-moral, que ocorre mediante o encontro com o transcendente. Argumenta-se aqui que este paradigma antropológico deve ser considerado nas investigações sobre a história da psicologia, dado ser uma poderosa influência sobre a interpretação da temática da saúde e da doença. Uma breve exposição da moral autônoma em Jean Piaget, bem como da idéia de ambivalência na psicanálise são apresentadas. Essa exposição tem objetivo de mostrar que a antropologia paulino-agostiniana possui repercussão na tradição interpretativa acerca do homem na psicologia moderna, apesar de ser antagonizada pela antropologia Iluminista.
Palavras-chave: Agostinho de Hipôna; história da psicologia; saúde e doença; ambivalência do eu-moral; cura.

Abstract
This article presents the Paulinian-Agostinian anthropological paradigm of the moral ambivalence, which historical importance was to revolutionize the Greek intellectualistic anthropology and to introduce a new interpretation of the health and sickness binome. The Paulinian-Augustinian anthropology understood the me-moral ambivalence as a human structural sickness. The cure has been interpreted as an overcome of the me-moral ambivalence, which happens through the encounter with the transcendental. Here the argument is that the anthropological paradigm must be considered during a historical investigation of psychology, since it’s a mighty influence over the interpretation of the health and sickness’s theme. A brief exposition of Piaget’s concept of autonomous morality, of Vygotsky’s voluntary’s theory, as well as the psychoanalysis’s idea of ambivalence are presented. This study aims at showing that the Paulinian-Augustinian anthropology reflects the interpretative tradition of human in modern psychology, in spite of being antagonized by the Illuministic anthropology.
Keywords: Augustine of Hippo; Psychology’s history; health and sickness; me-moral ambivalence; cure.

Influenced originally by Islamic theological speculation, classical philosophers and Christian Scholasticism of the Middle Ages, Jewish thinkers living in Islamic and Christian lands philosophized about Judaism from the ninth to fifteenth centuries. They reflected on the nature of language about God, the creation of the world, the possibility of human freedom and the relationship between divine and human law. This Companion presents major medieval Jewish thinkers in a comprehensive introduction to a vital period of Jewish intellectual history.

C. T. R. Hayward - Interpretations of the Name Israel in Ancient Judaism and Some Early Christian Writings

C. T. R. Hayward, “Interpretations of the Name Israel in Ancient Judaism and Some Early Christian Writings: From Victorious Athlete to Heavenly Champion”
Oxford University Press (2005) | English | ISBN 0199242372 | 422 pages | PDF | 1.84 MB
Ancient peoples regarded names as indicative of character and destiny. The Jews were no exception. This is a critical study of ancient exegesis of the title ‘Israel’ and the meanings attributed to it among Jews down to Talmudic times, along with some early Christian materials. C. T. R. Hayward explores ancient etymologies of ‘Israel’, and the utilization of these very varied explanations of the name in sustained works of exegesis like Jubilees; the writings of Ben Sira, Philo, and Josephus; and selected Rabbinic texts including Aramaic Targumim. He also examines translational works like the Septuagint, to illuminate those writings’ sense of what it meant to be a Jew.

Michael L. Morgan & Peter Eli Gordon - The Cambridge Companion to Modern Jewish Philosophy

Michael L. Morgan & Peter Eli Gordon, "The Cambridge Companion to Modern Jewish Philosophy" (Cambridge Companions to Religion)
Cambridge University Press (2007) | English | ISBN 0521813123 | 390 pages | PDF | 2.06 MB

The Cambridge Companion to Modern Jewish Philosophy is a collection of original essays that examine the work of some of the most important Jewish thinkers of the modern era – the period extending from the seventeenth century to the late twentieth century. Editors Michael L. Morgan and Peter Eli Gordon have brought together a group of world-renowned scholars to paint a broad and rich picture of the tradition of modern Jewish philosophy over a period of four hundred years. Beginning with the seventeenth century, modern Jewish philosophy developed among thinkers who responded to the new science and modern philosophy in the course of reflecting on the nature of Judaism and Jewish life. The essays address themes that are central to the tradition of modern Jewish philosophy – language and revelation, autonomy and authority, the problem of evil, Messianism, the influence of Kant, and feminism – and discuss in depth the work of major thinkers such as Spinoza, Mendelssohn, Cohen, Buber, Rosenzweig, Fackenheim, Soloveitchik, Strauss, Levinas, Maimon, Benjamin, Derrida, Scholem, and Arendt.
