Augustine's Critique of Skepticism (Studies in the Humanities Literature - Politics - Society, #14)
by Augustine J Curley
Der Einbruch von Boesem und UEbeln in das Leben provoziert Menschen seit alters, sich an Goettliches, Goetter oder Gott zu wenden, um sich im Leben neu zu orientieren. Wie vielschichtig das geschieht, untersucht Ingolf U. Dalferth in drei Gedankengangen, die sich mit den zentralen Strangen im christlichen Verstandnis des malum als Mangel an Gutem, als UEbeltat und als Unglaube auseinandersetzen. Dabei kommen das Theodizeeprojekt, das Freiheitsprojekt und das Gottesprojekt ausfuhrlich zur Sprache...

Die Schule Des Sehens (Schriften Zur Triadik Und Ontodynamik, #6)
by Radoslav Kutra
Dieses Buch versucht durch eine Orientierung im schopferischen Prozess der Geschichte zur Losung der Kulturkrise beizutragen. Mittelpunkt dieser Orientierung ist die Entdeckung des Sehens, die der neuen Kulturepoche als ur-moderne These von den Impressionisten und Cezanne in die Wiege gelegt wurde. Sie wurde jedoch von der Entwicklung der Moderne zum Teil missverstanden. In der Entdeckung des Sehens erkennen wir jedoch den auch von der Postmoderne missachteten Ursprung der modernen Zeit, der in...

The Presence and Absence of God (Religion in Philosophy and Theology, #42)
Safeguarding the distinction between God and world has always been a basic interest of negative theology. But sometimes it has overemphasized divine transcendence in a way that made it difficult to account for the sense of God's present activity and experienced actuality. Criticisms of the Western metaphysics of presence have made this even more difficult to conceive. On the other hand, there has been a widespread attempt in recent years to base all theology on (religious) experience; the Christ...
Ein eschatologisches Triptychon (Religion in Philosophy and Theology, #64)
by Otmar Meuffels
Die Erloesungsperspektive der christlichen Glaubenshoffnung reduziert sich nicht auf Jenseitstrost. Vielmehr gilt es, engagiert Eschatologie zu treiben und die befreiende Macht des goettlichen Richtens in der Gegenwart dieser Welt aufzuzeigen. Otmar Meuffels' Analysen stellen die Vollendungshoffnung des Glaubens in den Horizont der Grenzerfahrung des Todes und unter das Wahrheits-Kriterium des Respekts vor dem Leben. Sein Argumentationsgang ist formal als Triptychon angelegt, dessen drei Tafeln...
In his latest book, Horizons of Difference: Engaging with Others, Fred Dallmayr argues that the dialogue between religious and secular commitments, between faith and reason, is particularly important in our time because both faith and reason can give rise to dangerous and destructive types of extremism, fanaticism, or idolatry. In this interdisciplinary and cross-cultural synthesis of philosophy, religious thought, and political theory, Dallmayr neither accepts the "clash of cultures" dichotomy...

This integration of spirituality causes numerous impacts across various aspects of modern life. Multiculturalism and the Convergence of Faith and Practical Wisdom in Modern Society is a pivotal reference source for the latest scholarly research on the cultural, sociological, economic, and philosophical effects of religion on modern society and human behavi...
