The term iconicity refers to the Bible’s characteristic imagery, cultural symbols, ideal models, and conventional (generic) figures of speech. It is the discourse-level equivalent of figuration in relation to the micro-structure. The nature and purpose of the iconic features are closely related to the medium of communication in which they are typically employed for facilitating and enriching the message-transmission process.

In 1944 Eric Voegelin published an article on Siger de Brabant, in which he argued cogently that Siger’s philosphy, by affirming the unicity and eternity of the human species – the so called “monosomatism”, – had had strong political effects.

Following Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas identifies supreme genera which he considers to be the fundamental categories both of predication and of being. Thus, like Aristotle before him, Thomas holds that these categories are studied both by the logician and by the metaphysician. In contrast to Aristotle, however, Thomas is clear that the metaphysician studies the same ten categories identified by the logician, although from the perspective of his distinct science. This article examine Aquinas's views on some of the similarities and differences in these two treatments of the categories, the...
