I had the tremendous fortune of just finishing my review of the recent of translation of Przywara’s Kant Today this morning. Przywara was onto this long ago!

My latest podcast. It is done from Rome on my laptop so the quality of the audio and video may not be as good as usual. But a great conversation!

@JonathanRHeaps A’s mental trinity shows the intelligibility of BOTH immanent procession AND the substantial identity of three irreducible “somethings.” That at least is what I take him to be doing

[Samuel Korb @SamuelKorb]

@JonathanRHeaps Hard to answer since A doesn’t pose it that way. I hesitantly want to answer affirmatively, esp since A thinks the analogy works in such a way that justifies calling the Trinity a Trinity of memory-understanding-will. But that’s not something I’ve thought about enough!

[Samuel Korb @SamuelKorb]

@Schlesingene @JonathanRHeaps @LukeTogni We don’t accomplish much by appealing to this text since comparing the mind to the Trinity is not nike comparing 2 to 4. That’s the sense (according to Ayres!) in which he means it and of course denies its validity. But of course everyone would deny that sense of analogy

[Samuel Korb @SamuelKorb]

@Schlesingene @JonathanRHeaps @LukeTogni When A denies “analogy” in serm 53 he means the kind of analogy where each term has a determinate distance to the other, very similar to what Aquinas calls proportion and similarly rejects as applicable to a human-God “analogy.”

[Samuel Korb @SamuelKorb]

@Schlesingene @JonathanRHeaps @LukeTogni I think it’s wrong to say that A wasn’t attempting to demonstrate procession with his mental trinity. That’s exactly what he does in the second half of book 9 and much of 15. The “trin of the inner man” demonstrates both procession and substantial identity
