Download or read book Tolerance Between Intolerance and the Intolerable written by Paul Ricoeur and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 1996 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seems more urgent than ever before to fend off the rising wave of intolerance and at the same time determine the nature of tolerance and its limits. As Ricoeur says in his Foreword: "Tolerance is a tricky subject: too easy or too difficult. It is indeed too easy to deplore intolerance, without putting oneself into question, oneself and the different allegiances with which each person identifies." In order to explore these complexities, he has gathered together a number of prominent thinkers from various parts of the world and areas of activity and invited them to reflect on the "obstacles and limits to tolerance." The Declaration of Principles on Tolerance, issued by the United Nations in 1995, rounds up this remarkable collection of essays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carson traces the subtle but enormous shift in the way we have come to understand tolerance over recent years--from defending the rights of those who hold different beliefs to affirming all beliefs as equally valid and correct. He looks back at the history of this shift and discusses its implications for culture today, especially its bearing on democracy, discussions about good and evil, and Christian truth claims. --from publisher description

Book Synopsis Essays on the Real Church by : Dirk J. Smit
Download or read book Essays on the Real Church written by Dirk J. Smit and published by African Sun Media. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spirit of the Reformation is often expressed in the well-known slogan that Reformed churches are always being reformed according to God’s Word, ecclesia reformata semper reformanda secundum verbum Dei. Over the last century, the spirit of this slogan motivated someone like Dietrich Bonhoeffer to argue that the visible form and life of the church should reflect the truth and message of the church. Already in his doctoral dissertation called Sanctorum Communio, the communion of the saints, the young Bonhoeffer combined theological claims and traditions with social theory and analysis, in this spirit, in an innovative way, to study the nature and integrity and witness of the church. At the time, this was a radical claim, with major consequences and challenges for Protestant churches. Their life – which meant their order, structure, actions, statements, convictions, public presence and role – was to be measured by their gospel – which meant their message, proclamation, convictions, claims. They could no longer proclaim one truth yet live a different life. It was this spirit which led to the well-known Theological Declaration of Barmen in 1934 and to the formation of the Confessing Church in Nazi Germany. Many called this a moment of truth, a status confessionis. It was this same spirit which later inspired the struggle in South Africa for the integrity and faithfulness of the church and for the credibility of its message, proclamation and witness. The contributions in this volume – 52 papers, essays, sermons, studies – were all produced in this spirit. Most of them have not been published before. They were all occasional pieces, written over several decades, in different contexts and for different purposes and audiences, yet they all breathe this self-critical spirit of the Reformation, considering whether the real church – the concrete, every day, actual, living church that people know and experience and perhaps belong to – truly strives to embody the gospel itself, the message which it claims and proclaims. They all inquire, under different circumstances and in diverse ways, about different social forms of the real church – from worship to congregation, from denomination to ecumenical church, from individual believers to movements and organisations – whether and how they embody the truth of the church, or not. Together, these contributions tell a story – the story of this spirit, in South African circles, over several decades, but also in the ecumenical church in our globalizing world. They offer one small glimpse into different concrete moments in the story of this spirit in the life of this tradition and community of faith. Hopefully, some of these accounts may resonate with others who also shared the same spirit – and still share it today, in new and ongoing ways.
Book Synopsis On Perpetual Peace by : Dieter Senghaas
Download or read book On Perpetual Peace written by Dieter Senghaas and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieter Senghaas today is the world's leading figure in the field of conflict research, conflict management research, and the study of the prerequisites of lasting peace. The fact that virulent conflict within what Senghaas calls the OECD world, essentially the European Union, has become unthinkable over the past half-century encourages him in the face of violent conflict in many parts of the world to be reasonably optimistic about the prospect for our planet as a whole.
Book Synopsis Toleration and Identity by : Ingrid Creppell
Download or read book Toleration and Identity written by Ingrid Creppell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, there has been a notable rise in interest in the idea of "toleration", a rise that Ingrid Creppell argues comes more from distressing political developments than positive ones, and almost all of them are related to issues of identity: rampant genocide in the 20th Century, the resurgence of religious fundamentalism around the world; and ethnic-religious wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. In Toleration and Identity, Creppell argues that a contemporary ethic of toleration must include recognition of identity issues, and that the traditional liberal ideal of toleration is not sufficiently understood if we define it strictly as one of individual rights and freedom beliefs. Moving back and forth between contemporary debates and the foundational writings of Bodin, Montaigne, Lock, and Defoe, Toleration and Identity provides a fresh perspective on two key ideas deeply connected to current philosophical debates and political issues.
Book Synopsis Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Suspicion by : Alison Scott-Baumann
Download or read book Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Suspicion written by Alison Scott-Baumann and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) was one of the most prolific and influential French philosophers of the Twentieth Century. In his enormous corpus of work he engaged with literature, history, historiography, politics, theology and ethics, while debating 'truth' and ethical solutions to life in the face of widespread and growing suspicion about whether such a search is either possible or worthwhile. In Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Suspicion, Alison Scott-Baumann takes a thematic approach that explores Ricoeur's lifelong struggle to be both iconoclastic and yet hopeful, and avoid the slippery slope to relativism. Through an examination of the 'hermeneutics of suspicion', the book reveals strong continuities throughout his work, as well as significant discontinuities, such as the marked way in which he later distanced himself from the 'hermeneutics of suspicion' and his development of new devices in its place, while seeking a hermeneutics of recovery. Scott-Baumann offers a highly original analysis of the hermeneutics of suspicion that will be useful to the fields of philosophy, literature, theology and postmodern social theory.

Book Synopsis Tolerance Among the Virtues by : John R. Bowlin
Download or read book Tolerance Among the Virtues written by John R. Bowlin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a pluralistic society such as ours, tolerance is a virtue—but it doesn't always seem so. Some suspect that it entangles us in unacceptable moral compromises and inequalities of power, while others dismiss it as mere political correctness or doubt that it can safeguard the moral and political relationships we value. Tolerance among the Virtues provides a vigorous defense of tolerance against its many critics and shows why the virtue of tolerance involves exercising judgment across a variety of different circumstances and relationships—not simply applying a prescribed set of rules. Drawing inspiration from St. Paul, Aquinas, and Wittgenstein, John Bowlin offers a nuanced inquiry into tolerance as a virtue. He explains why the advocates and debunkers of toleration have reached an impasse, and he suggests a new way forward by distinguishing the virtue of tolerance from its false look-alikes, and from its sibling, forbearance. Some acts of toleration are right and good, while others amount to indifference, complicity, or condescension. Some persons are able to draw these distinctions well and to act in accord with their better judgment. When we praise them as tolerant, we are commending them as virtuous. Bowlin explores what that commendation means. Tolerance among the Virtues offers invaluable insights into how to live amid differences we cannot endorse—beliefs we consider false, actions we think are unjust, institutional arrangements we consider cruel or corrupt, and persons who embody what we oppose.
Book Synopsis Tolerating the Intolerable by : Jeffrey D. Shively
Download or read book Tolerating the Intolerable written by Jeffrey D. Shively and published by Author House. This book was released on 2005-07-20 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tolerance is the buzzword of the modern university. Any and all ideas, save one, must be respected, no matter how offensive or controversial. The one glaring exception is Christianity. On college campuses across this great land, Christians are regularly ridiculed and silenced. Janis Price was a well respected administrator and instructor in DePauw University’s education department for thirteen years. In 2001, she was severely reprimanded by the university. Her alleged crime was permitting students to read education related materials printed by a Christian organization. Although no assignment was made, one student was offended and immediately complained to the university. Mrs. Price was severely punished for offending this student. Knowing that she had been wronged, she appealed her punishment through proper university channels. Finding no relief there, she was forced to file a lawsuit. What followed was a wildly unpredictable ride through Indiana’s legal system. Tolerating the Intolerable chronicles Janis Price’s career at DePauw University, the events leading up to her demotion, and the legal history of the case. Most importantly, it expounds several possible motives for the egregious behavior of DePauw University officials toward Mrs. Price. This case has garnered international attention from sources ranging from columnist and author David Limbaugh to the American Family Association Journal and the “700 Club.” Tolerating the Intolerable represents one tiny piece of a vast and shamefully Christophobic trend on American college campuses. It is a must read for anyone concerned with the nation’s dangerous slide into secularism.

Book Synopsis In Response to the Religious Other by : Marianne Moyaert
Download or read book In Response to the Religious Other written by Marianne Moyaert and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-09-24 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vast collection of his writings, the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur only sporadically raised the issue of interreligious dialogue. In this book, comparative theologian Marianne Moyaert argues that Ricoeur’s hermeneutical philosophy offers valuable signposts for a better understanding of the complexities related to interreligious dialogue. By revisiting the key insights of Ricoeur’s wider oeuvre from the perspective of interfaith dialogue, Moyaert elaborates a Ricoeurian interreligious hermeneutic. In Response to the Religious Other provides a coherent interreligious reading of Ricoeur’s philosophy of religion, his hermeneutical anthropology, his ethical hermeneutics. Moyaert shows that Ricoeur makes an exceptionally rewarding conversation partner for anyone wishing to explore the complex issues associated with interreligious dialogue. This book is essential for studies of hermeneutics, ethics, religious philosophy, global cooperation and hospitality, comparative theology, and religious identity.
