Book Synopsis Postmodern Spiritual Practices by : Paul Allen Miller

Book excerpt: "Postmodern Spiritual Practices: The Construction of the Subject and the Reception of Plato in Lacan, Derrida, and Foucault, by Paul Allen Miller, argues that a key element of postmodern French intellectual life has been the reception of Plato. This fact has gone underappreciated in the Anglophone world due to a fundamental division in culture. Until very recently, the concerns of academic philosophy and philology have had little in common. On the one hand, this is due to analytic philosophy's self-confinement to questions of epistemology, speech act theory, and philosophy of science. As such, it has had little to say about the relation between antique and contemporary modes of thought." "On the other hand, blindness to the merits of postmodern thought is also due to Anglo-American philology's own parochial instincts. Ensconced within a nineteenth-century model of Alterumswissenchaft, only a minority of classicists have made forays into philosophical, psychoanalytic, and other speculative modes of inquiry. The result has been that postmodern French thought has largely been the province of scholars of modern languages." "A situation thus emerges in which most classicists do not know theory, and so cannot appreciate the scope of these thinkers' contribution to our understanding of the genealogy of Western thought, while most theorists do not know the Platonic texts and their contexts that ground them. This book bridges this gap, offering detailed and theoretically informed readings of French postmodernism's chief thinkers' debts to Plato and the ancient world."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis A Magic Still Dwells by : Kimberley C. Patton
Download or read book A Magic Still Dwells written by Kimberley C. Patton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first thorough assessment of the field of comparative religion in forty years, this groundbreaking volume surmounts the seemingly intractable division between postmodern scholars who reject the comparative endeavor and those who affirm it. The contributors demonstrate that a broader vision of religion, involving different scales of comparison for different purposes, is both justifiable and necessary. A Magic Still Dwells brings together leading historians of religions from a wide range of backgrounds and vantage points, and draws from traditions as diverse as Indo-European mythology, ancient Greek religion, Judaism, Buddhism, Ndembu ritual, and the spectrum of religions practiced in America. The contributors take seriously the postmodern critique, explain its impact on their work, uphold or reject various premises, and in several cases demonstrate new comparative approaches. Together, the essays represent a state-of-the-art assessment of current issues in the comparative study of religion.

Book Synopsis Sacred Interconnections by : David Ray Griffin
Download or read book Sacred Interconnections written by David Ray Griffin and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1990-04-05 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows the interconnections between postmodernism, religion, politics, economics, and art. It shows that the awareness of interconnectedness is at the center of the postmodern sensibility. Sacred Interconnections illustrates the rejection of the modern idea that these subjects can be discussed as separate disciplines. While the term postmodern has been widely used for deconstructive, cynical, even nihilistic attitude, especially in the world of art and literature, the book represents the emergence of a reconstructive, reenchanting postmodernism, even within the artistic and literary circles.
Book Synopsis Whitehead's Radically Different Postmodern Philosophy by : David Ray Griffin
Download or read book Whitehead's Radically Different Postmodern Philosophy written by David Ray Griffin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postmodern philosophy is often dismissed as unintelligible, self-contradictory, and as a passing fad with no contribution to make to the problems faced by philosophers in our time. While this characterization may be true of the type of philosophy labeled postmodern in the 1980s and 1990s, David Ray Griffin argues that Alfred North Whitehead had formulated a radically different type of postmodern philosophy to which these criticisms do not apply. Griffin shows the power of Whitehead's philosophy in dealing with a range of contemporary issues—the mind-body relation, ecological ethics, truth as correspondence, the relation of time in physics to the (irreversible) time of our lives, and the reality of moral norms. He also defends a distinctive dimension of Whitehead's postmodernism, his theism, against various criticisms, including the charge that it is incompatible with relativity theory.

Book Synopsis Postmodern Spirituality in the Age of Entitlement by : David John Robson
Download or read book Postmodern Spirituality in the Age of Entitlement written by David John Robson and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In POSTMODERN SPIRITUALITY IN THE AGE OF ENTITLEMENT, impatience, quickness, and the need for instant gratification unconsciously push the postmodern person towards "social and spiritual shallowness." Attempting to cope with an ever-increasing flow and flood of information, knowledge, and data, we skim and scan, instead of deep reading and absorption. David Robson weaves numerous thoughtful and stimulating viewpoints from other noted experts combined with his timely insights into how our world was affected by the shift to a post-modernism society. This substantial work was written after years of research, study, and contemplation with the goal of stimulating each reader on their own path of spiritual awareness and personal growth. David John Robson begins by leading the reader through an overview of postmodernism, and how it affects and changed Western Society, Western Christianity, and, in turn, Western Spirituality. Also addressed are chapters on the major trends surrounding postmodernism spirituality. The author poses questions are at the end of each chapter for the individual reader or discussion group to consider and discuss. Throughout this work, David challenges the reader to embrace the future of both community and corporate spirituality, and especially the exploration of one's own spirituality in the age of our dominating, "It's all about me" society.
Book Synopsis The i-zation of Society, Religion, and Neoliberal Post-Secularism by : Adam Possamai
Download or read book The i-zation of Society, Religion, and Neoliberal Post-Secularism written by Adam Possamai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the elective affinity of religion and post-secularism with neoliberalism. With the help of digital capitalism, neoliberalism dominates, more and more, all aspects of life, and religion is not left unaffected. While some faith groups are embracing this hegemony, and others are simply following the signs of the times, changes have been so significant that religion is no longer what it used to be. Linking theories from Fredric Jameson and George Ritzer, this book presents the argument that our present society is going through a process of i-zation in which (1) capitalism dominates not only our outer, social lives (through, for example, global capitalism) but also our inner, personal lives, through its expansion in the digital world, facilitated by various i-technology applications; (2) the McDonaldization process has now been normalized; and (3) religiosity has been standardized. Reviewing the new inequalities present in this i-society, the book considers their impact on Jurgen Habermas’s project of post-secularism, and appraises the roles that various religions may have in supporting and/or countering this process. It concludes by arguing that Habermas’s post-secular project will occur but that, paradoxically, the religious message(s) will be instrumentalized for capitalist purposes.
