Hannah Arendt And Augustine Of Hippo: On The Pleasure Of And Desire For Evil, Antonio Calcagno
Hannah Arendt And Augustine Of Hippo: On The Pleasure Of And Desire For Evil, Antonio Calcagno
Antonio Calcagno
Hannah Arendt wrote two volumes on thinking and willing in The Life of the Mind, but due to her untimely death her work devoted to judgement, especially political judgement, was never completed. We do, however, have a significant amount of writings on this theme as evidenced by her lectures on Kant’s Third Critique. Judgement and thinking are critical in order to prevent what Arendt calls the “banality of evil”. Drawing on Augustine and Arendt’s work on Augustine, this paper seeks to argue that another form of serious evil has its root in what Augustine calls the libido habendi and the …

The Modernity Of Khomiakov, Paul Valliere
The Modernity Of Khomiakov, Paul Valliere
Paul Valliere
In the case of Khomiakov and the other Russian religious philosophers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, however, identifying the traditional element is a difficult task for a reason which becomes more obvious as one becomes better acquainted with their work: Khomiakov and the other Russian religious philosophers were not traditional thinkers.
Solov'Ëv And Schelling's Philosophy Of Revelation, Paul Valliere
Solov'Ëv And Schelling's Philosophy Of Revelation, Paul Valliere
Paul Valliere
The connection between Solov'ëv's philosophy of religion and Schelling's has long been recognized but is difficult to clarify for two reasons. The first is Solov'ëv's nonchalance about citing sources. The paucity of direct references to Schelling in the work of a philosopher who has been called 'the last and most outstanding Russian Schellingian' is quite astonishing. The second reason is the ambivalence toward Schelling in Russian religious philosophy.
Introduction To The Modern Orthodox Tradition, Paul Valliere
Introduction To The Modern Orthodox Tradition, Paul Valliere
Paul Valliere
In her study of the Orthodox Church in the Byzantine Empire, Joan Hussey begins with a caveat: "In the present state of our knowledge a book on the Byzantine Church must necessarily be in the nature of an interim report since much pioneer work remains to be done." The same must be said about the attempt to present the "teachings" of modern Orthodoxy concerning law, society, and politics.
"The Lady And The Wench" : A Practical Theodicy In Russian Literature., Paul Valliere
"The Lady And The Wench" : A Practical Theodicy In Russian Literature., Paul Valliere
Paul Valliere
In the study of religion, it is important to distinguish broadly between two forms of theodicy: theoretical and practical. Both forms address the fundamental concern of all theodicy, "the justice of God," but they do so in different contexts and for different purposes.

Social And Cultural Boundaries In Pre-Modern Poland, Magda Teter, Adam Teller, Antony Polonsky
Social And Cultural Boundaries In Pre-Modern Poland, Magda Teter, Adam Teller, Antony Polonsky
Magda Teter
Boundaries—physical, political, social, religious, and cultural—were a key feature of life in medieval and early modern Poland, and this volume focuses on the ways in which these boundaries were respected, crossed, or otherwise negotiated. It throws new light on the contacts between Jews and Poles, including the vexed question of conversion and the tensions it aroused. The collected articles also discuss relations between the various elements of Jewish society—the wealthy and the poor, the educated and the uneducated, and the religious and the lay elites, considering too contacts between Jews in Poland and those in Germany and elsewhere. Classic studies …
Common Features In The Development Of Three World Religions, Lorin Geitner
Common Features In The Development Of Three World Religions, Lorin Geitner
Lorin C. Geitner
The religions of Manichaeism, Sikhism and Bahai share an unusual combination of traits: they are all inclusivist, syncretistic and universalizing. This paper compares the context of their creation to determine if there were any common social, political and historical pressures present at that time which would account for these similarities.
Biblioblogging Our Matrix: Exploring The Potential And Perplexities Of Academic Blogging, James Mcgrath
Biblioblogging Our Matrix: Exploring The Potential And Perplexities Of Academic Blogging, James Mcgrath
James F. McGrath
The phenomenon of "biblioblogging" has not only brought Biblical studies into close contact with popular new media and modes of communication, but also regularly brings the public and private, the peer-reviewed and the popular, into close proximity with one another. This article explores some of the reasons why an increasing number of academics in Biblical studies blog, as well as some of the ways in which blogging can serve the needs of the academy

Pozarci: Gospodarka A Powolanie Chrzescijanskie, William Cavanaugh
William T. Cavanaugh
Mieć czy być? Czy chrześcijanie powinni opowiadać się za czy przeciw wolnemu rynkowi? Dlaczego konsumpcjonizm ,,pożera" konsumentów? Dlaczego prezesi wielkich firm nie znają umiaru w zwiększaniu własnych wynagrodzeń? Dlaczego związki zawodowe są coraz słabsze? I dlaczego ulega zatarciu różnica między pracownikiem a niewolnikiem? Ta książka odpowiada nie tylko na te pytania. Jest w niej zawarta także potężna dawka teologicznej refleksji nad zagadnieniami takimi jak Bóg, sprawiedliwość, globalizacja i wolność. Nie brak również konkretnych przykładów rozwiązań gospodarczych, spójnych z życiem w Ciele Chrystusa. A takowe już istnieją i - jak wykazuje Autor - funkcjonują z pożytkiem dla ogółu. Tę rozprawę z …

El Mito De La Violencia Religiosa, William Cavanaugh
El Mito De La Violencia Religiosa, William Cavanaugh
William T. Cavanaugh
El mito de la violencia religiosa consiste en creer que la “religión” es un fenómeno endémico de todas las culturas y épocas de la humanidad, separable de otros ámbitos de la actividad del hombre que, como la política o la economía, son calificados de “seculares”. Que es, además, particularmente proclive al absolutismo, la disgregación y la irracionalidad, y por consiguiente a la violencia. Cavanaugh demuestra en esta obra, argumentando a partir de fuentes históricas, teológicas y jurídicas, que la “religión” no es una realidad transcultural y transhistórica ni se puede separar de las demás esferas de la actividad del hombre, …
