The series MISCELLANEA MEDIAEVALIA was founded by Paul Wilpert in 1962 and since then has presented research from the Thomas Institute of the University of Cologne. The cornerstone of the series is provided by the proceedings of the biennial Cologne Medieval Studies Conferences, which were established over 50 years ago by Josef Koch, the founding director of the Institute. The interdisciplinary nature of these conferences is reflected in the proceedings. The MISCELLANEA MEDIAEVALIA gather together papers from all disciplines represented in Medieval Studies - medieval history, philosophy, theology, together with art and literature, all contribute to an overall perspective of the Middle Ages.

"Few activities or concepts are as maligned or as celebrated as speculation. Speculators cast implausible, seemingly contagious money-making schemes into the future, and their unsubstantiated risks leave untold amounts of collateral damage. At the same time, speculation mediates between the seen and unseen, the natural and the supernatural, and the material present and the abstract, hypothetical future. It builds the worlds that we inhabit now and will inhabit tomorrow, just as it builds worlds that will never come into being. In short, speculation, as it has been identified and defined, is at the center of Western thought, finance, and politics, revealing the limits, possibilities, and excesses of our attempts to create knowledge about and shape our future. In Speculation, Gayle Rogers offers a cultural, literary, and intellectual history of the concept and practices of speculation from antiquity to the present. He traces its origins from its exalted position in Greek, Roman, and medieval philosophy to its denigration by John Calvin who viewed it as sinful. As the concept became increasingly associated with the modern economy in the eighteenth century in the works of Jonathan Swift, Adam Smith, and others, the concept was also seized upon by the Romanticists and Transcendentalists for other intellectual reasons as well as female authors such as Jane Austen and George Eliot, who expanded the concept to debates about "women speculators" of the nineteenth century. With the advent of the stock ticker tape and continuing through today, new technologies have shaped ideas about speculation and how machines might take over a previous human activity."

Karl Marx's celebration of capitalism is discussed. The subject is divided into 6 sections: (1) a concept of dialectic; (2) an aspect of freedom; (3) labor being alienated under capitalism & the results of this alienation (4) varieties of the DofL; (5) homage to capitalism; (6) discussion of the fate of labor under socialism. Marx's dialectic of labor is seen to draw upon Hegel's dialectic of consciousness & nature. Hegel's theory of knowledge comprises 3 stages: sensuous consciousness, understanding, & reason. Turning to Marxism, the development from primitive communism, through the divisions of classes in society, to modern communism is cited. This sequence is more prominent in Soviet & kindred doctrine than in Marx's thought which contains a different triad: precapitalist society-capitalism-communism of the future, thus corresponding to the Hegelian division of Ethical Life. Freedom of detachment is discussed as one of the stages of transition, this stage involving freedom from engulfment & the sensing of constraint as coming from a force without, not from within. For Marx labor is both abstract & concrete; abstract under capitalism, for the labor performed is not in itself important, at least not in its concreteness. Marx contrasted medieval & modern labor. Medieval work is viewed as being concrete but not universal, whereas modern work is universal but abstract. Marx holds that capital "steals & shrinks" man's laboring power, but promotes a great increase in the power of mankind, he also holds that capitalism develops a cosmopolitan civilization of production & that it alone must & can do so.

This thesis examines the gendered experience of the fifteenth-century provincial gentleman through the letters of the Paston family. On the whole, the men of the gentry did not consciously ponder their identities as men. However, in their articulations of daily social concerns, these men often engaged in discussions about masculinity and male sexuality. To contextualize an analysis of men in the later Middle Ages a study of the numerous competing discourses on male sexuality and masculinity is provided. In their missives men discussed with other male associates ideas of male sexuality and defined their own sexualities in moral or more earthly and carnal terms. Moving from the sexual to the more social aspects of masculinity, this study illuminates the masculine ideology of aspiring gentry families which emphasized men's participation and willingness to engage in ostensibly "masculine" activities, such as protection and providing. Individuals, men and women, by participating in a discussion of what constituted masculine identity and activity, engaged with and manipulated masculine ideologies to gain personal power. Exercising personal choice, men either accepted and reinforced their identities according to the class-based gender standards or affiliated themselves with other masculinities despite their family's derision. Despite their agency as individuals, the men and women of the provincial gentry were subject to cultural ideologies which shaped how they articulated ideas of male gender identity.Dept. of History, Philosophy, and Political Science.

Canonical divisions of the history of philosophy usually present as drastic the break between Medieval and Modern thinking. One can genuinely ask whether that rupture has not started in the Middle Ages and to what extent many of the elements that characterise the Modernity are already present in that period. In that sense, the article seeks to establish some similarities between Medieval and Modern thinking, particularly the aspects concerning the relationships between the ethical-political thinking of Duns Scotus and some ideas of Hobbes, that, after a detailed study reveal themselves as heirs of Medieval philosophical thinking.
