For Thomas (himself an educator), the teacher defeats the devil in the same way that one who spreads the truth is opposed to a sower of lies.

Alexander av Hales: Djävulen som tändved: The role of the devil here is remote and material at best; the devil adds nothing that is not already present in the one tempted. Before the devil tempts in this way, the one tempted is already “prone [pronos]” to the sin that the devil assists in committing.

Using Nemesius’s definition of human rationality, however, this Christological affirmation would mean, problematically, that Christ was not a rational human being.

Maximus’s denial of ignorance in Christ also has a corollary for
Christ’s moral psychology, albeit only implicitly. Maximus defines de-
liberation and choice as concerning matters of action that are indeter-
minate—things that are possible and of which the end is unknown.37
The affirmation of Christ’s perfect knowledge, then, is one of the roots
of Maximus’s claim that Christ did not deliberate or choose.

He (maximus) speaks in the Questions and Doubts, of three kinds of “involuntary (ἀδιάθετος)” sin: sin through “tyrannical constraint,” through deception, and through ignorance.

associationen som demonisk när den kommer med begär.

A behaviorist would shrink from the term strategy because a strategy is not observable.

There was one big problem with Wundt’s introspectionism: It didn’t work. There was the problem of training people to introspect—a problem of the method they used—and there were other methodological problems. A more basic problem was that the introspectionists didn’t come up with any interesting results

The empiricists were also associationists. Associationism holds that knowledge originates from simple information from the senses and that this sensory information can be combined into more complex ideas. You know what an apple looks like because you have seen an apple before

Descartes discussed perception for the same reason as the Greeks—to understand where knowledge comes from. Other philosophers, notably George Berkeley, discussed perception as part of the empiricist versus nativist argument. Berkeley was an extreme empiricist.

By showing that Christ was through both desire and aversion, Maximus attempts to affirm that Christ purifies the entirety of human passibility by
the experiences that come with all parts of it.

Corruptibility is a susceptibility to change and an inclination to-
ward earthly realities. Corruption is associated with the physical mode
of human conception after Adam’s sin. Thenceforth, human beings
come into being in the same way as the irrational animals, in a mode
that is perhaps not altogether becoming for the rational creatures that
human beings are.

Aristotle: ‘Poetry is more philosophical and more weighty than history, for poetry speaks rather of the universal, history of the particular. By theuniversalImeanthatsuchorsuchakindofmanwillsayordo such or such things from probability or necessity; that is the aim of poetry, adding proper names to the characters. By the particular I mean what Alcibiades did and what he suffered.
