A 15 th Century Cardinal with Wisdom for Today
Catholic University to Host Oct. 4-7 Symposium on Nicholas of Cusa, Advocate for Peace
As an acclaimed scholar, lawyer and philosopher of science, Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464) also urged peaceful relations between Christians and Muslims, especially when the two groups were at battle in Constantinople. To mark the birth of the cardinal six centuries ago, a four-day symposium on his life and teachings will be held from Thursday through Sunday, Oct. 4 to 7, at several locations on the Catholic University campus. Leading philosophers, theologians, political scientists and historians of science will speak on the timely relevance of Nicholas of Cusa. In light of recent terrorist attacks in the United States, the conference will also address the cardinal’s plea for harmony and understanding as war erupted in the 15 th century. “He considered the unity of faith to be a bond that unites Christians, Muslims and Jews,” says CUA Associate Professor Peter Casarella, one of the symposium’s organizers. “Even with very real differences of rites and beliefs, he argued that harmony could be attained through dialogue and reflection.” The conference touches on many aspects of Nicholas of Cusa’s philosophies and relationships. According to Professor Casarella, the conference will include “sessions on his contribution to the Renaissance theory of perspective, his place in ancient and medieval speculation about the relationship of God and the world, his tantalizingly modern ideas regarding tolerance and consent in the political realm, and his groundbreaking scientific hypotheses regarding the relativity and motion of the earth.”

Copernicus, Nicholaus (1473-1543)

Polish name: Mikolaj Kopernik. Polish astronomer and mathematician who, as a student, studied canon law, mathematics, and medicine at Cracow, Bologna, Rome, Padua, and Ferrara. Copernicus became interested in astronomy and published an early description of his "heliocentric" model of the solar system in Commentariolus (1512). In this model, the sun was actually not exactly the center of the solar system, but was slightly offset from the center using a device invented by Ptolemy known as the equant point. The idea that the Sun was the center of the solar system was not new (similar theories had been proposed by Aristarchus and Nicholas of Cusa), but Copernicus also worked out his system in full mathematical detail. Even though the mathematics in his description was not any simpler than Ptolemy's , it required fewer basic assumptions. By postulating only the rotation of the Earth revolution about the sun and tilt of Earth's rotational axis, Copernicus could explain the observed motion of the heavens. However, because Copernicus retained circular orbits, his system required the inclusion of epicycles. Unfortunately, out of fear that his ideas might get him into trouble with the church, Copernicus delayed publication of them.

Nicholas Of Cusa
Born: 1401, Kues, Trier
Died: Aug. 11, 1464, Todi, Papal States German: Nikolaus Von Cusa, Latin: Nicolaus Cusanus Cardinal, mathematician, scholar, experimental scientist, and influential philosopher who stressed the incomplete nature of man's knowledge of God and of the universe. At the Council of Basel in 1432, he gained recognition for his opposition to the candidate put forward by Pope Eugenius IV for the archbishopric of Trier. To his colleagues at the council he dedicated De concordantia catholica (1433; "On Catholic Concordance"), in which he expressed support for the supremacy of the general councils of the church over the authority of the papacy. In the same work he discussed the harmony of the church, drawing a pattern for priestly concord from his knowledge of the order of the heavens. By 1437, however, finding the council unsuccessful in preserving church unity and enacting needed reforms, Nicholas reversed his position and became one of Eugenius' most ardent followers. Ordained a priest about 1440, Cusa was made a cardinal in Brixen (Bressanone), Italy, by Pope Nicholas V and in 1450 was elevated to bishop there. For two years Cusa served as Nicholas' legate to Germany, after which he began to serve full-time as bishop of Brixen. A model of the "Renaissance man" because of his disciplined and varied learning, Cusa was skilled in theology, mathematics, philosophy, science, and the arts. In

Italian Renaissance Writers : Regiomontanus and Nicholas of Cusa
Nicholas of Cusa (1400/1401-1464, in German called Nikolaud von Kues) Cardinal, after studies in Heidelberg, Padova, Bologna, Cologne entered the clergy and became papal diplomat. Present at the COUNCIL OF BASEL 1421, he was sent as papal emissary to Constantinople in 1437, won the Emperor and other potentates for the COUNCIL OF FLORENCE, was engaged in organizing a crusade against the Turks and in negotiating reconciliation with the Hussites.
Despite his diplomatic activities, Cusa found the time to write, in many fields - juridical, theological, philosophical texts as well as scientific ones, in mathematics and astronomy.
JOHANN MUELLER of Koenigsberg/Franconia, after which he called himself REGIOMONTANUS (1436-1476) was in 1461 appointed professor of philosophy (his speciality was astronomy) in Vienna. Here he met GEORGE OF TREBIZOND, a learned Greek who now was papal legate. Regiomontanus was appointed astronomer of King MATTHIAS CORVINUS of Hungary in 1468, built an observatory at NUERNBERG in 1471. Called to Rome by Pope Sixtus IV., he died before he could be appointed to further offices.
Regiomontanus made a number of important astronomic observations, paving the way for Copernicus and Kepler.

JMC History of Medieval Philosophy / by Maurice De Wulf 416. His Place In Philosophy. How are we to classify Nicholas of Cusa, a man whose strange philosophy reveals so many diverse and conflicting tendencies? In him we hear the first faint murmur of the Renaissance war-cry: "Down with the Aristotelian faction!" But his invective is directed mainly against those dialecticians who opposed his mystic theory of the Coincidentia Oppositorum Though his ideas are suggestive of coming upheavals in the world of speculation, they are in themselves rather a syncretism of the past, a fusion of mysticism, theosophy and quasi-pantheism. Nicholas is a discontented scholastic, but still a scholastic, imbued with the spirit of the schools: we will place him at the end of this third period in the history of medieval philosophy, at the very threshold of the Renaissance. "Unde, cum nunc Aristotelica secta praevaleat, quae heresim putat esse oppositorum coincidentiam, in cujus admissione est initium ascensus in Mysticam Theologiam . . ."

That something, Moderate Realists say, is made up of certain attributes, existing separately in every member of the class, yet in each typical of the whole class. Ockham's doctrine is known as Terminism. His numerous followers are known as Terminists. They were powerful in the Schools to the end of the fifteenth century. Terminism is not Nominalism: for terminus in Ockham is not what we call a term or name ; it is the universal concept itself, considered as a sign of many things (signum plurium) , namely, of all the individuals to which it applies. Terminism means Conceptualism. Though a Conceptualist, however, Ockham was not an Idealist. His Dualism was as distinct as that of the other Schoolmen. He held that we have an intuitive knowledge of individual things; that the first thing known is the individual, a thing existing in real truth outside the mind. Ockham was a great enemy of formalism, or the multiplication of distinctions, so much affected by Scotus. His saying, 'It is idle to do by many things what may be done by fewer' (

Cusa and Renaissance
Theology Link I've posted a number of times on Cusa in the past, and the following builds on notes and outline that I posted in Febrary 2004. NICHOLAS OF CUSA
This is a continuation of the earlier essay on Renaissance and modernity. To keep my assessment of the Renaissance under control, and to have something other than glittering generalities to offer, I have restricted myself to the examination of one Renaissance thinker, one whose influence on the Renaissance as such is very difficult to assess or know, but one who exemplifies some of the key themes of the Renaissance. And this writer sets out these themes in an explicitly Christian context. I speak of Nicholas of Cusa. To justify concentrating on Cusa, let me cite Heinz Heimsoeth, who claims that Giordano Bruno was the greatest of the Renaissance philosophers. He goes on to say that Bruno’s philosophy is thoroughly indebted to themes he borrowed from Cusa: “all other decisive themes of his speculation derive from Nicholas of Cusa and were virtually taken over from him in their profoundest formulations.E In some ways, Cusa was more medieval than Renaissance. He was a cardinal and served in the Archdiocese of Trier. Yet, his life (c 1400-1464) was in the heart of the Renaissance. Petrarch was crowned as poet in the Capitol of Rome in 1340, sixty years before Cusa was born. Dante died in 1321, Boccaccio wrote the Decameron in 1348. Donatello was flourishing during Cusa’s lifetime, the Cathedral of Florence was completed when he was a young man, Boticelli was born in 1444, da Vinci in 1452, and Michaelangelo a decade after Cusa died.

Main Text of Article ``Those who argue that the universe is entropic, do so because, like Aristotle, they deny that man is capable of elevating his mind above inductive and deductive forms of discursive rationality to the level of creative intellect.'' Nicolaus of Cusa in 1460. ``My being is such that it can make itself more and more capable of receiving Your grace and goodness. And this power, which I have from You and by virtue of which I possess a living image of Your omnipotent power, is free will.'' ``Entropy exists in the same way that evil exists. It has no positive being, and therefore only exists to the extent that man, through the misuse of his free will, departs from the good. Rather than being a law of the universe, entropy is the evil consequence of man's decision to decrease his capability of receiving the grace and goodness of God.''
