Download or read book Spirituality and Dialectics written by Anthony E. Mansueto and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirituality and Dialectics is a passionate and rigorous argument against nihilism and a manifesto for the party of meaning and hope. It demonstrates how we can ground principles of meaning and value, against the aesthetic and intellectual hegemony of the enlightenment--culminating most currently through postmodernity, as a basis for the critique of all present injustice. What emerges is a vision of a new social order that permits the full development of human social capacities.
Book Synopsis Spiritual Dialectics by : Swami Mukundananda
Download or read book Spiritual Dialectics written by Swami Mukundananda and published by Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Destiny? What is Karma Yog? Why do bad things happen to good people? What does the soul look like? Dialectics is a method of investigating into the nature of the Truth, through discussions in the form of questions and answers. Many a times, resolution of the doubt creates an experience that is nothing short of an epiphany, a sudden enlightenment, or an intuitive leap of realization. The satisfaction of having a troubling question answered after many years of intellectual discomfort is much like the gratification of taking off a tight shoe after wearing it all day, except that the latter is a physical relief while the former is an intellectual deliverance. Over the last 25 years, Swami Mukundananda has been asked hundreds of thousands of questions from people across the world, on diverse topics related to religion, spirituality and God. These discussions with devotees, seekers and learners are now available as a source of guidance for sincere seekers worldwide. The book is a compilation of answers to some of the most challenging questions regarding spirituality, the goal of life, philosophy, the holy scriptures, and more.
Book Synopsis Living Christianly by : Sylvia Walsh
Download or read book Living Christianly written by Sylvia Walsh and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pseudonymous works Kierkegaard wrote during the period 1843–46 have been responsible for establishing his reputation as an important philosophical thinker, but for Kierkegaard himself, they were merely preparatory for what he saw as the primary task of his authorship: to elucidate the meaning of what it is to live as a Christian and thus to show his readers how they could become truly Christian. The more overtly religious and specifically Christian works Kierkegaard produced in the period 1847–51 were devoted to this task. In this book Sylvia Walsh focuses on the writings of this later period and locates the key to Kierkegaard’s understanding of Christianity in the “inverse dialectic” that is involved in “living Christianly.” In the book’s four main chapters, Walsh examines in detail how this inverse dialectic operates in the complementary relationship of the negative qualifications of Christian existence—sin, the possibility of offense, self-denial, and suffering—to the positive qualifications—faith, forgiveness, new life/love/hope, and joy and consolation. It was Kierkegaard’s aim, she argues, “to bring the negative qualifications, which he believed had been virtually eliminated in Christendom, once again into view, to provide them with conceptual clarity, and to show their essential relation to, and necessity in, securing a correct understanding and expression of the positive qualifications of Christian existence.”

Book Synopsis The Dialectics of Sense and Spirit in Pater & Joyce by : Frank Moliterno
Download or read book The Dialectics of Sense and Spirit in Pater & Joyce written by Frank Moliterno and published by ELT Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Modernist scholars have written a handful of comparative studies on Pater and Joyce. Frank Moliterno's The Dialectics of Sense and Spirit in Pater and Joyce is the first booklength exploration into the aesthetic development of these writers that underscores the importance of Pater in Joyce's works. Much of Pater's and Joyce's aesthetics evolves from the dialectical tension between the sensual and the spiritual. The Paterian-Joycean syntheses of basic antinomies - religion and sensuality, empiricism and idealism, Aristotelian mimesis and aestheticism - result in kindred theories of art." "Moliterno's highly readable account of the intellectual affinity between the two authors searches their relationship and Joyce's potential debt to Pater. In four main chapters Moliterno discusses the transition of Pater and Joyce from priests to artists and the parallel ways they portray this process in fiction; traces the Paterian elements of the aesthetics of Stephen Dedalus and of the mature Joyce; compares Pater's epiphanies with Joyce's to reveal how Pater helped shape the Joycean epiphany; and analyzes the similar epistemologies behind the development of Pater's and Joyce's aesthetics."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Spirit Dialectic by : Donald Macphie
Download or read book Spirit Dialectic written by Donald Macphie and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work says something revolutionary about the nature of the human mind or, more accurately about the nature of human being, in relation to Being...The complexity and unity of the whole in turn expresses a wholeness and inclusiveness, from an anthropological range of awareness, to concrete physiological experience...This crystal structure was a transpersonal creation: the miracle of this work is precisely, through blind groping, the discovery of such an amazing structure for the process of resolving subjective consciousness in relation to Being; as beautifully ordered, intricate, and subjectively and objectively inclusive. Rather than mathematical, this felt more like a frontiersman exploring the hardships and rewards of uncharted territory... The actual creation of this landscape was of a wholly different order of reality, and definitely beyond the wit or wisdom of the author; the engineer was not.In this work, existential and dialectical thought are progressed to a new spiritual level.
Book Synopsis Religion and Dialectics by : Anthony E. Mansueto
Download or read book Religion and Dialectics written by Anthony E. Mansueto and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2002 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion and Dialectics carries to a new level, the critical dialogue between religious belief, dialectical thinking, and socialist practice, which has given birth, among other things, to the theology of liberation and to a new Marxist sociology of religion. On the one hand, Anthony Mansueto argues that, contrary to the claims of Marx and the dialectical materialist tradition, religion is fundamentally a force for human development and social progress and that atheism, far from being integral to the socialist project, in fact helps to legitimate the market order. On the other hand, Mansueto sharpens considerably the dialectical critique of Christianity, asking just what elements of this tradition are conducive to human development and social progress, and which are not.

Book Synopsis The Monstrosity of Christ by : Slavoj Zizek
Download or read book The Monstrosity of Christ written by Slavoj Zizek and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-02-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A militant Marxist atheist and a “Radical Orthodox” Christian theologian square off on everything from the meaning of theology and Christ to the war machine of corporate mafia. “What matters is not so much that Žižek is endorsing a demythologized, disenchanted Christianity without transcendence, as that he is offering in the end (despite what he sometimes claims) a heterodox version of Christian belief.”—John Milbank “To put it even more bluntly, my claim is that it is Milbank who is effectively guilty of heterodoxy, ultimately of a regression to paganism: in my atheism, I am more Christian than Milbank.”—Slavoj Žižek In this corner, philosopher Slavoj Žižek, a militant atheist who represents the critical-materialist stance against religion's illusions; in the other corner, “Radical Orthodox” theologian John Milbank, an influential and provocative thinker who argues that theology is the only foundation upon which knowledge, politics, and ethics can stand. In The Monstrosity of Christ, Žižek and Milbank go head to head for three rounds, employing an impressive arsenal of moves to advance their positions and press their respective advantages. By the closing bell, they have not only proven themselves worthy adversaries, they have shown that faith and reason are not simply and intractably opposed. Žižek has long been interested in the emancipatory potential offered by Christian theology. And Milbank, seeing global capitalism as the new century's greatest ethical challenge, has pushed his own ontology in more political and materialist directions. Their debate in The Monstrosity of Christ concerns the future of religion, secularity, and political hope in light of a monsterful event—God becoming human. For the first time since Žižek's turn toward theology, we have a true debate between an atheist and a theologian about the very meaning of theology, Christ, the Church, the Holy Ghost, Universality, and the foundations of logic. The result goes far beyond the popularized atheist/theist point/counterpoint of recent books by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and others. Žižek begins, and Milbank answers, countering dialectics with “paradox.” The debate centers on the nature of and relation between paradox and parallax, between analogy and dialectics, between transcendent glory and liberation. Slavoj Žižek is a philosopher and cultural critic. He has published over thirty books, including Looking Awry, The Puppet and the Dwarf, and The Parallax View (these three published by the MIT Press). John Milbank is an influential Christian theologian and the author of Theology and Social Theory: Beyond Secular Reason and other books. Creston Davis, who conceived of this encounter, studied under both Žižek and Milbank.
