" ... Hubners Buch ist ein epochales philosophisches Ereignis, durch das dem Glauben der Charakter des sacrificium intellectus genommen und wieder jene Legitimitat verliehen werden soll, die ihm durch die wissenschaftliche Vernunft Zug um Zug entzogen worden ist. ..."Dieter Borchmeyer in Die Zeit Nr. 46 vom 8.11.2001"Ein erstaunliches, selbstbewusstes und noetiges Buch, ein Buch, das wohl so nur noch ein Nichttheologe schreiben kann, freilich einer, der sehr umfassend in der Theologie bewandert...
Diese Arbeit untersucht Tillichs These von der Transzendierung des Theismus. Theismus muss als gegenstandlicher Gottesglaube transzendiert werden, um eine bleibende Antwort auf die Religionskritik Feuerbachs und den Atheismus des 20. Jahrhunderts geben zu konnen. Dieses apologetische Bemuhen durchzieht Tillichs gesamte Wirkungszeit wie ein roter Faden. Die Analyse des Zusammenhangs von Methode und Inhalten versucht, sowohl Tillich besser zu verstehen als auch die Fragwurdigkeit seiner Thesen aus...
Monotheism in Late Prophetic and Early Apocalyptic Literature (Forschungen zum Alten Testament 2. Reihe, #72)
Discussion of early Jewish monotheism has focused on its origins in earlier Israelite religion, while its development in late prophetic and early apocalyptic literature has received little attention. Yet the reflections of the concept of monotheism in these works are much more diverse than is generally recognized. This literature reflects a lively debate over the implications of Yhwh's supremacy, which extend to the full range of religious and socio-political experience. The authors of this volu...
Charles V and the Castilian Assembly of the Clergy (Studies in the History of Christian Traditions, #141)
by Sean Perrone
The Castilian Assembly of the Clergy has been overlooked in the scholarship on church-state relations and representative institutions in the early modern period. This oversight has distorted our understanding of political practice, royal finance, and church-state relations in sixteenth-century Castile. By examining the negotiations for subsidies between the crown and the Assembly, this book illuminates the dynamics between church and state and the limits of royal control over the church, and it...
Philosophical Perspectives on Modern Qur'aanic Exegesis
by Massimo Campanini
This book explores the possibility of a hermeneutics of the Qur'an. It starts from the presupposition that the Qur'an can be studied as a philosophical book. Thus the analysis is theoretical more than historical. Many philosophers commented the Qur'an and many supported their theories by resorting to the Qur'an. Thinkers like Fakhr al-Din al-Razi connected traditional theology and philosophy in their Qur'anic commentary. Others like Nasr Abu Zayd used philosophy to deconstruct the Qur'an paving...

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...
In den hier gesammelten Versuchen und Vorarbeiten skizziert Hubert Cancik die Struktur der roemischen Religion und erzahlt ihre Geschichten. Er beobachtet die kultische Praxis und erklart ihre Selbstreflexion, die eigene und die Kritik der anderen, der Griechen, Juden, Christianer. Das raumliche Zentrum dieser Religion und dieser Essays ist die Stadt Rom und die stadtroemische Religionsgeschichte: Denn diese Stadt ist das ' "Haupt", der "Tempel", der "Verschnitt" der Oekumene. Die Religionsgesch...
The Pulse of Sense (Angelaki: New Work in the Theoretical Humanities)
This volume stages a series of encounters between the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy and leading scholars of his work along four major themes of Nancy's thought: sense, experience, existence, and Christianity. In doing so, the volume seeks to remind readers that Nancy's sens has many meanings in French: aside from those that easily carry over into English, i.e., everything to do with "meaning" and "the senses"; it also includes the "way" they are "conducted," the "direction" they take, the...

Secular Spirituality (Studies in Neuroscience, Consciousness and Spirituality, #4)
by Harald Walach
This book discusses spirituality as an emerging scientific topic from a historical perspective, with extensive discussion of the mind-body problem and of scientific concepts of consciousness. While the book focuses on the Western tradition of 'Enlightenment', it also implicitly addresses the double meaning of the term, with the Eastern tradition describing it as 'a state of true knowledge, which is an important goal on an individual's spiritual path' and the Western tradition seeing it as 'the c...

-An All-Disastrous Fight- (Munsteraner Monographien Zur Englischen Literatur,, #6)
by Georg Heinemann
James Thomson (B.V.) bildet in der Literaturgeschichtsschreibung des 19. Jahrhunderts allenfalls eine Marginalie. Sein Werk gilt als die Lebensbeichte eines erfolglosen Literaten, der am offentlichen Leben seiner Zeit wenig Anteil nahm und sein existentielles wie literarisches Scheitern in seinen Schriften protokollierte. Die vorliegende Studie unternimmt demgegenuber den Versuch, das Gesamtwerk des Autors mit den vielfaltigen philosophischen, theologischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Diskussion...
