Calamitatum Of The Individual

In the field of critical thinking, Abelard was undoubtedly ranked highest in his era. He is a professional dialectologist, philosopher, and theologian, leading the personal thinking movement. He walked the way of a lonely personality, and when his thoughts were suppressed, he found a different way to express his personality. The beginning of his life is characterized by extreme personal freedom. As his journey continued, he found himself subject to a number of restrictions. The role of the monk could not change Abelade, and his personality brought him even greater misery.

The story of Abelard and Héloïse is very popular in contemporary European culture. The story comes from nearly a couple of sources: first, the historical Calamitatum; secondly, the seven letters between Abelard and Héloïse survive and in the tradition of manuscripts always in the history of Calamalatum I will follow. Third, the four letters between Peter the Venerable and Héloïse (three by Peter and one by Héloïse). In modern times, they are the most famous and widely translated parts of Abelard's work.

Communication between former lovers began around this time. What is present today includes seven letters (Epistolae 2 - 8 in Latin volumes, since Historia Calamitatum precedes them as Epistola 1). Four of these letters (Epistoria 2-5) are called "personal letters" and include private letters. The remaining three (letters 6 to 8) are called "instructions". This began a passionate and knowledgeable communication. Héloïse worked with Abélard in philosophy and encouraged her to devote her faith. Abelard insists that he really did not love her, but just loves her, their relationship is a sin against God. Then he suggested that she direct her attention to Jesus Christ, the only person whom she really loved her, and since then she has devoted herself to her religious occupation.

In this book, love is drawn in various forms. For example, I love to learn. The first thing Abelard did when writing Historia Calamitatum was to describe himself as an individual like Heloise. He condemned the popularity of soldiers and the lives of glory and studied literature and philosophy. As he wrote this article, I believe he showed his clever and different way of thinking by mentioning the dialectic. Initially, the relationship between Abelard and Heloise was mainly based on passionate love. Therefore, after they entered religion, Helloever condemned Abelard with passion rather than to love her, I believe, this is not true. "This is desire, not a feeling that binds you to me, it is a flame of desire, not love, it is not my opinion, it is my dear this" (Radice 116). I can not agree with Heloise's view. For her knowledge and the gift she wrote, Abelard was primarily attracted to her.
