Unreferenced date January 2009 Historical subject is in itself an oxymoron . If, in philosophy , a subject philosophy subject supposes a non historical presence, an eternity eternal substance, then how could the subject be historicized without keeping the ahistorical, essential core of this subject on which change occurs? Nietzsche s critique of the subject is based in the rejection of an existing substance in favor of forces and wills combining to form combinations, sometimes in the form of a consciousness . Heidegger later traced the concept of subject to the metaphysical concept of Substance philosophy ousia to demonstrate the impossibility of eliminating the subject by simply historicizing it. The modern definition of subjectivity, according to Heidegger, recovered Kant s definition of the substance in the Critique of Pure Reason and Aristotle s definition of ousia in Metaphysics . The term historical subject is also used by Michel Foucault , as a concept opposed to the eternal and transcendence philosophy transcendent subject of the juridical and philosophical discourse , yet still identified as an object.

Orphan date February 2009 Pamphilus the Theologian was probably a late sixth century Palestinian compiler writing in the aftermath of the Council of Chalcedon and the fall out this produced in the eastern Christian provinces. His work is in the form of questions and answers illustrating the points at issue at the Council and subsequently, i. e. in the form of chapters dealing with points such as hypostasis, ousia, physis, and other points at debate between neo Chalcedonians and Monophysites . The philosophical implication of such terms for Christology is thoroughly developed. The work includes a number of quotations from standard authors such as the Cappadocians , John Chrysostom and Cyril of Alexandria , and also Ps. Dionysius , but also from a number of authors condemned at various councils e.g.. Apollinaris of Laodicea Apollinarius , Eunomius , Eutyches , Nestorius , Paul of Samosata , Valentinian .

Unreferenced date December 2009 In Scholasticism scholastic philosophy , quiddity IPAc en icon k w d t i Latin quidditas was another term for the essence of an object, literally its whatness, or what it is. The term derives from the Latin word quidditas, which was used by the medieval scholastics as a literal translation of the equivalent term in Aristotle s Greek. It describes properties that a particular substance e.g. a person shares with others of its kind. The question what quid is it? asks for a general description by way of commonality. This is quiddity or whatness i.e., its what it is . Quiddity was often contrasted by the Scholasticism scholastic philosophers with the haecceity or thisness of an item, which was supposed to be a positive characteristic of an individual that caused them to be this individual, and no other. It is used in this sense in British poet George Herbert s eponymous poem, Quiddity. Thomism Other senses In law, the term is used to refer to a quibble or academic point. An example can be seen in Hamlet s graveside speech found in Hamlet by William Shakespeare . Where be his quiddities now, his quillets, his cases, his tenures says Hamlet referring to a lawyer s quiddities. Quiddity is the name for the mystical dream sea in Clive Barker s novel The Great and Secret Show that exists as a higher plane of human existence. It is featured as more of a literal sea in the novel s sequel, Everville and the related short story, On Amen s Shore .

Background During the period of the development of Christian doctrine which ran from 360 to 380 AD, the controversy between Arianism and what would eventually come to be defined as orthodoxy provoked an enormous burgeoning of new movements, sects and doctrines which came into existence in the attempt to stabilize and consolidate a unique and universal position on complex and subtle theological questions. One of the main questions concerned the nature of God and the nature of his relationship with his Son, Jesus Christ. This controversy was called the trinitarian controversy because it involved solving the riddle of how it was possible that God could be three God the Father, His Son Jesus the Word, and the Holy Spirit and yet One at the same time.
