Zeitgeschichte ALS Lebensgeschichte (Gesellschaften Und Staaten Im Epochenwandel / Societies and, #23)
by Peter Pichler
Das Buch prasentiert einen programmatischen Ansatz einer aktuellen Zeithistorie und versteht sich als kritischer Beitrag der Orientierungswissenschaft im Anschluss an das Spatwerk Michel Foucaults. Die derzeitige Diskussion setzt sich nur ungenugend mit der Epoche seit 1989 auseinander. Globalisierung, regionale Integration, wirtschaftliche Krisen, Migration, Finanzwirtschaft und Terrorismus kennzeichnen eine neue Geschichte. Neue Freiheiten und Ambivalenzen der Kultur in Digitalisierung, Migrat...
Meditations (Clydesdale Classics) (Capstone Classics)
by Marcus Aurelius
It was during his campaigns against the barbarians that the Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, wrote his famous "Meditations". They record the passing thoughts, the maxims and the musings on life and death of a sensitive and humble mind which had been trained in that stoic philosophy which contributed so much to Christianity. In this translation from the scholarly Greek in which Marcus kept his private journal, Staniforth gives us a simple and straightforward version of a work which has often been...
How is God revealed through the life of a human community? Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theological ethics begins from the claim to 'Christ existing as community', one of several variations on G.W.F. Hegel's philosophy of religion. David Robinson argues that Bonhoeffer's eclectic use of Hegel's thought, from the socialising notion of 'objective Geist' to a trenchant depiction of the 'cleaving' mind, should not be obscured by his polemic against Idealism. He also offers close readings of Hegel's texts i...
Die Realität Des Inneren (Philosophie & Repräsentation / Philosophy & Representation, #8)
Ewiges Leben (Dogmatik in der Moderne, #21)
Fur die christliche Idee von Erloesung zentral ist der Begriff eines 'ewigen Lebens'. Als UEbergang von einem defizitaren in einen vollendeten Zustand geschieht Erloesung auf ewiges Leben hin. Umbauten der Idee von Erloesung, wie sie sich in der Moderne angesichts gesellschaftlicher und wissenschaftlicher Herausforderungen christlicher Tradition vollziehen, lassen sich daher am Begriff des ewigen Lebens pragnant beobachten. In Orientierung am Begriff des ewigen Lebens gehen die Beitrage des vorl...
Every generation since the birth of Christianity has believed that Armageddon was close at hand. The very notion of apocalyptic events which all but wipe out mankind is deeply ingrained into prophecy and myth, but also in memory. The idea of a great judgement of mankind has become an essential ingredient in religious belief systems, but could these beliefs have a sound basis? Why do we harbour apocalyptic thoughts? Is it because we fear judgement, or because we have a visceral memory of great ev...
The Manifest and the Revealed (SUNY series in Theology and Continental Thought)
by Adam Y. Wells
In recent years, historians have rediscovered the religious dimensions of the Enlightenment. This volume offers a thorough reappraisal of the so-called "Catholic Enlightenment" as a transnational Enlightenment movement. This Catholic Enlightenment was at once ultramontane and conciliarist, sometimes moderate but often surprisingly radical, with participants active throughout Europe in universities, seminaries, salons, and the periodical press. In Enlightenment and Catholicism in Europe: A Trans...
Kierkegaard's Writings, XV (Kierkegaard's Writings, #15)
by Soren Kierkegaard
In his praise for Part I of Upbuilding Discourses in Various Spirits, the eminent Kierkegaard scholar Eduard Geismar said, "I am of the opinion that nothing of what he has written is to such a degree before the face of God. Anyone who really wants to understand Kierkegaard does well to begin with it." These discourses, composed after Kierkegaard had initially intended to end his public writing career, constitute the first work of his "second authorship." Characterized by Kierkegaard as ethical-...

Studies in Process Philosophy I (Tulane Studies in Philosophy, XXIII)
by Robert C. Whittemore
Diese Arbeit erhebt den Anspruch, den Versuch zu machen, die Entwicklung des Selbstbewusstseins nachzuzeichnen, "um (sie) schliesslich munden zu lassen in die Versoehnung dessen, was in der Geschichte der abendlandischen Philosophie immer streng geschieden war, in die versoehnte Einheit des Widerspruchs von empirischem und metaphysischem Menschen als die Auferstehung des einheitlichen leib-seelischen Menschen in Gestalt eines Selbstbewusstseins, das als ein freier Geist die Einheit von Selbstbez...
