Book Synopsis Peter Sloterdijk's Religious Feints from the Viewpoint of Early Christianity by : Pavel Vitalis
Download or read book Peter Sloterdijk's Religious Feints from the Viewpoint of Early Christianity written by Pavel Vitalis and published by Wachstumstrend F.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary critical theology has a double task: On one hand it should try to formulate the experience of faith in an appropriate language; on the other hand it must deal with the ideological misunderstandings of other disciplines concerning questions of faith. Pavel Vitalis takes up the challenge of mastering this double task. He uses Early Christianity as a source, which the West is gradually loosing. He makes the attempt at dealing with an essay written by the well-known television philosopher Peter Sloterdijk about the monotheistic religions. His central thesis is that Sloterdijk's unsuccessful and false assertions lead to a defamation of the Christian religion and seem like an intellectual caricature. Vitalis reasons that this is caused by the increasing intellectualism of the West. In addition to this argument, the book also offers an insight into the intellectual repertory of Early Christianity in an understandable language. www.w-publishing.com

Book Synopsis The Copernican Revolution in Homeopathy - The New Way of Dealing with Life Energy by : Pal Dragos
Download or read book The Copernican Revolution in Homeopathy - The New Way of Dealing with Life Energy written by Pal Dragos and published by Wachstumstrend F.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeopathy is not a timeless object of research. Embedding it in today's postmodern culture requires a reflexive historicizing. Classical homeopathy is based on the classical subject. Today, the crisis of the civil subject is conspicuous. Homeopathy must find its answer to this challenge and to the cultural immunodeficiency of society. As a consequence of the crisis of the subject, the significance of life energy is substantially changing. The author speaks of a Copernican Revolution. The new way of dealing with life energy also demands a metamorphosis of classical homeopathy. The book is oriented towards the energy body philosophy, yet written in a language that is understandable for the interested layman.
Book Synopsis Argument and Theology in 1 Peter by : Lauri Thurén
Download or read book Argument and Theology in 1 Peter written by Lauri Thurén and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using both ancient and modern rhetoric, linguistics, and argumentation theory, this study offers a fresh approach to 1 Peter and New Testament ethics. It is often claimed that the growing interest in paraenesis, or ethical teaching, among early Christians indicates how Jesus' revolutionary teaching and the Pauline notion of justification by faith were gradually replaced by an emphasis on good works and ethics borrowed from the surrounding Hellenistic and Jewish culture. The Motivation of the Paraenesis challenges this traditional view of ethics in early Christianity, arguing that paraenesis was an original, essential part of early Christian doctrine and life. The book also provides a new, well-balanced picture of 1 Peter and its message, giving a natural interpretation to many puzzling sections and clarifying the internal logic of the text and the theology behind it.
Download or read book After God written by Peter Sloterdijk and published by Polity. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his Critique of Cynical Reason, Peter Sloterdijk pursued an enlightenment of the Enlightenment in both its beginnings and the present. After God is dedicated to the theological enlightenment of theology. It ranges from the period when gods reigned, through the rule of the world-creator god to reveries about the godlike power of artificial intelligence. The path of this self-enlightening theology, which is carried out here by a non-theologian, must begin well before Nietzsche’s declaration of the death of God, and it must move beyond this dictum to explore the present and the future. Since the early 20th century we have seen how the metaphysical twilight of the gods, which has preoccupied philosophers and theologians, has been accompanied by an earthly twilight of the souls. The emergence of psychoanalysis, and more recently the development of the neuro-cognitive sciences, have secularized the old Indo-European concept of the soul and transferred many accomplishments of the human mind to computerized machines. What remains of the eternal light of the soul after the artificial lights have been turned on? Have the inventors of AI thrust themselves into the position vacated by the death of god? Perhaps the distinction between God and idols will soon re-emerge here for the citizens of modernity, only this time in a technological and political register. For them, theological enlightenment – which is completely different from an instinctive rejection of religion – will be a fateful task. This new work by one of the most original thinkers today will appeal to students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences, as well as anyone interested in religion, philosophy and critical theory today.
Download or read book Exhausting Dance written by Andre Lepecki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-07-13 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only scholarly book in English dedicated to recent European contemporary dance, Exhausting Dance: Performance and the Politics of Movement examines the work of key contemporary choreographers who have transformed the dance scene since the early 1990s in Europe and the US. Through their vivid and explicit dialogue with performance art, visual arts and critical theory from the past thirty years, this new generation of choreographers challenge our understanding of dance by exhausting the concept of movement. Their work demands to be read as performed extensions of the radical politics implied in performance art, in post-structuralist and critical theory, in post-colonial theory, and in critical race studies. In this far-ranging and exceptional study, Andre Lepecki brilliantly analyzes the work of the choreographers: * Jerome Bel (France) * Juan Dominguez (Spain) * Trisha Brown (US) * La Ribot (Spain) * Xavier Le Roy (France-Germany) * Vera Mantero (Portugal) and visual and performance artists: * Bruce Nauman (US) * William Pope.L (US). This book offers a significant and radical revision of the way we think about dance, arguing for the necessity of a renewed engagement between dance studies and experimental artistic and philosophical practices.

Book excerpt: A brilliant dissection and reconstruction of the three major faith-based systems of belief in the world today, from one of the world's most articulate intellectuals, Slavoj Zizek, in conversation with Croatian philosopher Boris Gunjevic.

Chapters include (by Zizek) (1) "Christianity Against Sacred," (2) "Glance into the Archives of Islam," (3) "Only Suffering God Can Save Us," (4) "Animal Gaze," (5) "For the Theologico-Political Suspension of the Ethical," (by Gunjevic) (1) "Mistagogy of Revolution," (2) "Virtues of Empire," (3) "Every Book Is Like Fortress," (4) "Radical Orthodoxy," (5) "Prayer and Wake."
Book Synopsis From Revolt to Riches by : Theo Hermans
Download or read book From Revolt to Riches written by Theo Hermans and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection investigates the culture and history of the Low Countries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries from both international and interdisciplinary perspectives. The period was one of extraordinary upheaval and change, as the combined impact of Renaissance, Reformation and Revolt resulted in the radically new conditions – political, economic and intellectual – of the Dutch Republic in its Golden Age. While many aspects of this rich and nuanced era have been studied before, the emphasis of this volume is on a series of interactions and interrelations: between communities and their varying but often cognate languages; between different but overlapping spheres of human activity; between culture and history. The chapters are written by historians, linguists, bibliographers, art historians and literary scholars based in the Netherlands, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States. In continually crossing disciplinary, linguistic and national boundaries, while keeping the culture and history of the Low Countries in the Renaissance and Golden Age in focus, this book opens up new and often surprising perspectives on a region all the more intriguing for the very complexity of its entanglements.

Book Synopsis Kafka and the Universal by : Arthur Cools
Download or read book Kafka and the Universal written by Arthur Cools and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kafka’s work has been attributed a universal significance and is often regarded as the ultimate witness of the human condition in the twentieth century. Yet his work is also considered paradigmatic for the expression of the singular that cannot be subsumed under any generalization. This paradox engenders questions not only concerning the meaning of the universal as it manifests itself in (and is transformed by) Kafka’s writings but also about the expression of the singular in literary fiction as it challenges the opposition between the universal and the singular. The contributions in this volume approach these questions from a variety of perspectives. They are structured according to the following issues: ambiguity as a tool of deconstructing the pre-established philosophical meanings of the universal; the concept of the law as a major symbol for the universal meaning of Kafka’s writings; the presence of animals in Kafka’s texts; the modernist mode of writing as challenge of philosophical concepts of the universal; and the meaning and relevance of the universal in contemporary Kafka reception. This volume examines central aspects of the interplay between philosophy and literature.
