Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major work, Blumenberg takes issue with Karl Löwith's well-known thesis that the idea of progress is a secularized version of Christian eschatology, which promises a dramatic intervention that will consummate the history of the world from outside. Instead, Blumenberg argues, the idea of progress always implies a process at work within history, operating through an internal logic that ultimately expresses human choices and is legitimized by human self-assertion, by man's responsibility for his own fate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le livre de Hans Blumenberg (1920-1996) est l'un des classiques du débat contemporain sur les origines de la modernité et sur les conditions de formation de la rationalité scientifique qui en constitue le cœur. Initialement paru en 1966, il est traduit ici d'après la deuxième édition de 1988 qui intègre les discussions qu'il a suscitées. L'investigation de Blumenberg se déploie selon quatre axes, qui sont autant d'éclairages indépendants jetés sur le problème : 1. Une critique de la catégorie de " sécularisation " mise en vogue par Eric Voegelin, Karl Löwith ou Carl Schmitt. Blumenberg montre les limites de l'interprétation selon laquelle la modernité se serait bornée à transposer dans la sphère profane des éléments sacrés empruntés à la tradition chrétienne. C'est contre cette délégitimation réduisant l'âge moderne à une série d'emprunts cachés qu'il affirme la nécessité d'en penser la légitimité. 2. Une analyse du rôle de l'" absolutisme théologique " de la fin du Moyen Age. Ou comment la radicalisation de la transcendance divine conduit à la découverte de l'absolu immanent. 3. Une histoire de la curiosité à l'égard des secrets de la nature. Ou comment un vice stigmatisé par les théologiens et les moralistes est devenu une vertu, si ce n'est un attribut, de la dignité de l'homme. 4. L'examen de deux auteurs illustrant " deux manières de se rapporter au seuil d'une époque " : Nicolas de Cues, avant Copernic, et Giordano Bruno, après Copernic. Ou comment lire les enjeux de l'âge moderne dans ce qui le préfigure et qui n'est pas encore lui. Foisonnant, subtil, imaginatif, animé par un immense savoir, l'ouvrage transforme les termes des problématiques reçues. On ne peut plus aborder la question de la modernité, après Blumenberg, comme on la regardait avant.

Book excerpt: Cette recherche sur la question théologico-politique chez Karl Löwith, Carl Schmitt et Hans Blumenberg consiste en une réflexion sur la portée du lien entre le pouvoir religieux et le pouvoir politique, tel qu'il s'est trouvé thématisé à partir de la modernité et dans la revendication de sa légitimité. Selon Karl Löwith et Carl Schmitt, la modernité peut-être lue comme l'expression d'une sécularisation du christianisme, alors que pour Blumenberg, le "théorème de la sécularisation" est un cas spécifique et métaphorique du "substantialisme historique" destiné à délégitimer la modernité dans la radicalité de son projet d'auto-fondation. Ainsi, en partant des différentes critiques historiographiques des Temps Modernes et des différentes herméneutiques de la modernité, produites par ces trois éminents théoriciens, notre recherche vise à souligner les ambiguïtés voire les apories de la théologie politique, notament celle de Carl Schmitt ; elle entend, face aux trois auteurs majeurs ici privilégiés et contre une certaine revendication idéologique de sa liquidation, mettre en relief la permanence de la théologie politique. Enfin, elle tente de dégager les termes adéquats de la fonction sociale de la religion chrétienne - son rôle de Katechon - soutenant plus particulièrement la portée mobilisatrice de l'espérance chrétienne dans la construction de la cité ; elle suggère que la notion de "médiation de l'Eglise", souvent délaissée dans les débats théologico-politiques, prévient et surpasse, en tant que fondée sur l'Incarnation, toute confusion et toute opposition entre le pouvoir religieux et le pouvoir séculier.

This book was released on 2024-01-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume probes and deciphers the tensions and contradictions that underlie modern European Liberal Catholicism. Beginning with the French revolution and looking at dialogues between European 'public moralists', the book discusses the ways in which liberal Catholics loosened their bonds with religion, all the while relying on it. It reflects on how and why they promoted a post-revolutionary state and society based on religious dogma and morality, and what new liberal order and socio-political and religious models they proposed. Beyond the analysis of the work of these Catholic intellectuals, the question of their conceiving a specific liberal approach through Catholicism is also investigated. More generally, it prompts a vital reappraisal of the political, ideological and philosophical pressures that the religious question caused in the redefinition of Western European post-revolutionary liberalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’émergence de la Condition Postmoderne, il y a quelque 30 ans, ne marqua pas la fin de la modernité. Bien au contraire, les débats sur la modernité continuent, en parallèle avec ceux sur la question postmoderne. Les deux débats s’enchevêtrent, en fait, ce qui ne fait que complexifier la question de la modernité. S’y ajoute, depuis quelque temps, la problématique de la globalisation dont les liens avec la modernité sont à élucider. De fait, historiquement nous vivons dans les conséquences de la modernité, qu’il s’agisse de ses acquis positifs ou de ses ratés et risques. Nous sommes ses puînés et avons de la sorte à assumer les conditions de cette nouvelle situation historique. Les auteurs de ce volume relèvent le défi de la tâche qui nous incombe dans cette situation et qui consiste à repenser la modernité aujourd’hui. Il s’agit d’articuler critiques, crises, paradoxes et risques de la modernité; sa mise au pluriel et sa complexification; la possibilité d’une « seconde » modernité. Mais tout cela en restant dans le paradigme moderne qui s’avère être encore efficace, toujours en transit. Dans un cadre résolument interdisciplinaire, ce volume réunit quatorze études qui abordent la modernité de multiples points de vue : philosophique, politique, sociologique, historique, esthétique, architectural, littéraire.

This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, new anatomical investigations of the brain and the nervous system, together with a renewed interest in comparative anatomy, allowed doctors and philosophers to ground their theories on sense perception, the emergence of human intelligence, and the soul/body relationship in modern science. They investigated the anatomical structures and the physiological processes underlying the rise, differentiation, and articulation of human cognitive activities, and looked for the "anatomical roots" of the specificity of human intelligence when compared to other forms of animal sensibility. This edited volume focuses on medical and philosophical debates on human intelligence and animal perception in the early modern age, providing fresh insights into the influence of medical discourse on the rise of modern philosophical anthropology. Contributions from distinguished historians of philosophy and medicine focus on sixteenth-century zoological, psychological, and embryological discourses on man; the impact of mechanism and comparative anatomy on philosophical conceptions of body and soul; and the key status of sensibility in the medical and philosophical enlightenment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three years that Calvin spent in Strasbourg are often considered a simple gap between his two periods in Geneva (1536-1538 and 1541-1564). However, this period has been shown to be extremely fertile for Calvin in literary, theological, and pastoral fields, not forgetting his marriage to Idelette de Bure. It was in Strasbourg that Calvin published the second Latin edition, greatly increased, of his "Institution," and where he wrote the first French version of this summary of the reformed religion. There he lectured on "Romans," replied to Cardinal Sadolet, and wrote his "Little Treatise on Holy Communion," intended to reconcile Protestants. There he became familiar with Martin Bucer's catechetical practice and with the songs of the Strasbourg parishes, which inspired his "Some Psalms and Canticles put into Song," and there he gained the friendship of Philippe Melanchthon and the respect of other Reformers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By examining the history of universal history from the late Middle Ages until the early nineteenth century we trace the making of the global. Early modern universal history can be seen as a response to the epistemological crisis provoked by new knowledge and experience. Traditional narratives were no longer sufficient to gain an understanding of events. Inspired by recent developments in theory of history, the volume argues that the relevance of universal history resides in the laboratory of intense, diverse and mainly unsuccessful attempts at thinking history and universals together. They all shared the common aim of integrating all time and space: assemble the world and keep it together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Aristotle, habit was a fundamental aspect of human nature; and for William James, it was the "enormous flywheel" of society. In both the history of philosophy and contemporary research, it is acknowledged as a fundamental topic in ethics, moral psychology, philosophy of action, and phenomenology. This major volume, written by a team of international contributors, is an outstanding collection that offers a thorough and diverse philosophical exploration of habit from the classical period to the modern day. Carefully edited to reflect the breadth of the subject, its 18 chapters are divided into four clear parts: Habit and Ancient Philosophy Habit and Early Modern Philosophy Habit and Modern Philosophy Contemporary Perspectives on Habit. Key topics, debates, and figures are covered such as the emotions, perception, free will, William James, John Dewey, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, John McDowell, and Hubert Dreyfus. Habit and the History of Philosophy is essential reading for students and researchers in the history of philosophy, ethics, phenomenology, philosophy of action, and pragmatism. It will also be extremely useful for those in related disciplines such as religion, sociology, and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the conceptual and temporal frames through which modern Western historiography has linked itself to classical antiquity. In doing so, it articulates a genealogical problematic of what history is and a more strictly focused reappraisal of Greek and Roman historical thought. Ancient ideas of history have played a key role in modern debates about history writing, from Kant through Hegel to Nietzsche and Heidegger, and from Friedrich Creuzer through George Grote and Theodor Mommsen to Momigliano and Moses Finley; yet scholarship has paid little attention to the theoretical implications of the reception of these ideas. The essays in this collection cover a wide range of relevant topics and approaches and boast distinguished authors from across Europe in the fields of classics, ancient and modern history and the theory of historiography.

Book excerpt: History, Metaphors, and Fables collects the central writings by Hans Blumenberg and covers topics such as on the philosophy of language, metaphor theory, non-conceptuality, aesthetics, politics, and literary studies. This landmark volume demonstrates Blumenberg's intellectual breadth and gives an overview of his thematic and stylistic range over four decades. Blumenberg's early philosophy of technology becomes tangible, as does his critique of linguistic perfectibility and conceptual thought, his theory of history as successive concepts of reality", his anthropology, or his studies of literature. History, Metaphors, Fables allows readers to discover a master thinker whose role in the German intellectual post-war scene can hardly be overestimated.

Book excerpt: Nearly twenty-five hundred years ago the Greek thinker Heraclitus supposedly uttered the cryptic words "Phusis kruptesthai philei." How the aphorism, usually translated as "Nature loves to hide," has haunted Western culture ever since is the subject of this engaging study by Pierre Hadot. Taking the allegorical figure of the veiled goddess Isis as a guide, and drawing on the work of both the ancients and later thinkers such as Goethe, Rilke, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger, Hadot traces successive interpretations of Heraclitus' words. Over time, Hadot finds, "Nature loves to hide" has meant that all that lives tends to die; that Nature wraps herself in myths; and (for Heidegger) that Being unveils as it veils itself. Meanwhile the pronouncement has been used to explain everything from the opacity of the natural world to our modern angst. From these kaleidoscopic exegeses and usages emerge two contradictory approaches to nature: the Promethean, or experimental-questing, approach, which embraces technology as a means of tearing the veil from Nature and revealing her secrets; and the Orphic, or contemplative-poetic, approach, according to which such a denuding of Nature is a grave trespass. In place of these two attitudes Hadot proposes one suggested by the Romantic vision of Rousseau, Goethe, and Schelling, who saw in the veiled Isis an allegorical expression of the sublime. "Nature is art and art is nature," Hadot writes, inviting us to embrace Isis and all she represents: art makes us intensely aware of how completely we ourselves are not merely surrounded by nature but also part of nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Women and Curiosity in Early Modern England and France, the rehabilitation of female curiosity between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries is thoroughly investigated for the first time, in a comparative perspective that confronts two epistemological and religious traditions. In the context of the early modern blooming “culture of curiosity”, women’s desire for knowledge made them both curious subjects and curious objects, a double relation to curiosity that is meticulously inquired into by the authors in this volume. The social, literary, theological and philosophical dimensions of women’s persistent association with curiosity offer a rich contribution to cultural history.
