Grice e Portaria: Eurialo
e Niso, ovvero, dello spirito – ma
non fia da Casal né d'Acquasparta, là onde vegnon tali alla scrittura, ch' uno
la fugge, e l'altro la coarta -- filosofia
italiana – Luigi Speranza (Todi). Filosofo italiano. Grice: “I like
Portaria, but then anyone with an interest in Anglo-Saxon ‘soul’
should! – if a philosopher, that is! Unlike Anglo-Saxon soul who God knews whence
it comes, the Romans had spiritus, and animus anima, which is cognate with
animos in Greek meaning ‘wind’ – so that leans towards a hyle-morphic
conception where the body (corpus) is what has the ‘materia’ and the ‘breath’
is the ‘forma’ -- Italian philosophers
would ignore this – and more so now when Davidson is in vogue! – if it were not
for Aligheri who has Portaria in “Paradiso” – there is indeed a serious
philosophical confrontation between an ACCADEMIA and and a LIZIO conception of
the soul as seen in the controversy between AQUINO (si veda) and P.! P. uses
the same linguistic tools: is ‘spiritus’ synonym with ‘anima’? Or must we speak
of ‘homonymy.’ And add ‘medium’ into the bargan! P. is less canonical than AQUINO
and should interest Oxonians much, oh so much, more!” – Unfortunately, he was
from Todi and donated all his manuscripts to Todi, which many skip in their
Grand tour – although it IS on the Tevere as any member of the “Canottiere del
Tevere” will know!” -- Grice: “My name is Grice – Paul Grice – Matteo’s name is
