Book excerpt: Los 18 trabajos recogidos en este volumen tienen como telón de fondo una preocupación por la racionalidad occidental. Mucho se ha hablado de su crisis o de su fracaso. De ello se ha ocupado durante décadas la Escuela de Francfort, en sus distintas reencarnaciones, y, más recientemente, el pensamiento posmoderno. Lo que este libro pretende es enfrentarnos a la crisis de la razón pero desde un ángulo insólito, desde el pensamiento judío. El judaísmo hizo su experiencia de la modernidad. Sintió que no tenía sitio. Algunos de los autores aquí estudiados tuvieron que plantearse, en el momento de su madurez, que había que elegir entre ser moderno o marginarse. Durante siglos, la mayoría optó por lo primero, es decir, por la asimilación. Hasta que algunos plantearon y decidieron seguir siendo judíos sin renunciar a filosofar. Con ello el judaísmo se convierte en un lugar privilegiado para valorar el pulso de la razón occidental. El judaísmo era el límite de la Ilustración. Así lo planteaban los ilustrados y así lo vivieron durante mucho tiempo los propios pensadores judíos. Hasta que les dio por pensar por sí mismos. En este libro se reconstruyen algunos de esos memorables episodios.

Book Synopsis De Atenas a Jerusalén: pensadores judíos de la modernidad by : Reyes Mate
Download or read book De Atenas a Jerusalén: pensadores judíos de la modernidad written by Reyes Mate and published by Ediciones AKAL. This book was released on 1999-11-02 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La cuestión judía no es un asunto que incumba sólo al pueblo judío. Es el quicio de Europa y está en el centro de las preocupaciones morales, políticas y estéticas de nuestro tiempo. De Atenas a Jerusalén trata de explicar por qué. El pueblo judío es, en primer lugar, testigo privilegiado de la talla del proyecto que pone en marcha la Modernidad. Contribuyen a conformarlo, pero se los excluye. Desde la experiencia de la marginación, reconocen tempranamente que ese proyecto va al desastre. Pero no se resignan y ofrecen, como alternativa, un Nuevo Pensamiento que no ha dejado de fecundar silenciosamente lo mejor del siglo XX. Pensadores como Hermann Cohen, Franz Rosenzweig o Walter Benjamin rescatan la herencia judía olvidada, que es la mitad de la herencia de Europa. El judaísmo fecunda la filosofía clásica al colocar junto al logos la memoria. al plantear la prioridad de la responsabilidad sobre la libertad. al no supeditar el tiempo a la historia, ni la humanidad al progreso. Sólo una Europa animada por Atenas y Jerusalén puede ser realmente universal y entrar en el siglo XXI sin el espíritu de fracaso que anuncian tantos críticos de la Modernidad.
Book Synopsis The Correspondence of Hannah Arendt and Gershom Scholem by : Hannah Arendt
Download or read book The Correspondence of Hannah Arendt and Gershom Scholem written by Hannah Arendt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essence of the correspondence between Arendt and Scholem can be said to lie in three things. Above all it provides an intimate account of how two great intellectuals try to come to terms with being both German and Jewish, and how to think about Germany before, during, and after the Holocaust. They also debate the issue of what it means to be Jewish in the post-Holocaust world whether in New York or in Jerusalem. Finally, the specter of Benjamin haunts the work and in a sense the letters are as much about Benjamin as the other two questions since his life and tragic death epitomize them both. Arendt and Scholem's letters on these weighty questions are lightened by more routine exchanges: on travel itineraries, lunch or dinner parties where important people were present, and so forth. These daily details are woven throughout the correspondence and provide vivid biographical information about Arendt and Scholem that is unavailable in any other source.

Book Synopsis Die erscheinende Welt by : Klaus Held
Download or read book Die erscheinende Welt written by Klaus Held and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Festschrift »Die erscheinende Welt« ist Klaus Held zu seinem 65. Geburtstag gewidmet. Held ist einer der einflußreichsten Repräsentanten und weltweit tätigen Initiatoren der phänomenologischen Bewegung in der Gegenwart. Sowohl Schüler des Husserl-Assistenten Ludwig Landgrebe als auch des Gadamer-Schülers Karl-Heinz Volkmann-Schluck vereint er Phänomenologie und Hermeneutik im Spannungsfeld der Gründerfiguren Husserls und Heideggers. Bekannt sind neben seinen phänomenologischen Arbeiten seine Interpretationen der Antiken Philosophie und seine Erörterungen einer Philosophie der Politischen Welt. Er ist der Begründer eines phänomenologischen Forschungszentrums in Wuppertal mit interkultureller und internationaler Ausstrahlung. Darüber hinaus war Klaus Held Präsident der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Phänomenologie.Die Festschrift versammelt Aufsätze von berühmten Phänomenologen aus der ganzen Welt. Gemäß dieser Vielfalt entfaltet sich die Festschrift in die Kapitel »Natur und Leib«, »Ethik und Politik«, »Geschichte und Kultur« sowie »Sprache und Dichtung«. Beiträge zu einer »Phänomenologie des Bewußtseins« beschließen den reichen Band. Er enthält Artikel von Forschern wie Bernhard Waldenfels, John Sallis, Mario Ruggenini, Wolfgang Janke, Tadashi Ogawa, Franco Volpi, Jean-François Courtine, Françoise Dastur, Rudolf Bernet, Friedrich-Wilhelm von Herrmann und László Tenegelyi. Auch jüngere und kommende Wissenschaftler ergreifen das Wort, um den Geehrten und seine Sache zu feiern.Die Phänomenologie ist eine philosophische Strömung, der es um das Verstehen des Erscheinens der »Sachen selbst« geht. Dabei verfolgt sie die Methode, frei von Vorurteilen und jenseits von verengenden Haltungen das Erscheinende selbst zur Sprache zu bringen. Ihre Bedeutung für die Zukunft der Philosophie überhaupt ist auf Grund ihrer Befreiung aus festgelegten Denk-Stellungen kaum zu überschätzen. Die Gründung von Phänomenologischen Gesellschaften in der ganzen Welt (wie zuletzt z. B. in China, Portugal und Argentinien) kann hier als ein Beleg dienen. An dieser Entwicklung und ihrem Ausbau ist Klaus Held maßgeblich beteiligt. Die vorliegende Festschrift ist ein Echo dieser einzigartigen Wirkung.

Book Synopsis The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a "deep" Alternative by : Claudia von Werlhof
Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a "deep" Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».

Download or read book Kabbalah written by Moshe Idel and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this prizewinning new interpretation of Jewish mysticism, Moshe Idel emphasizes the need for a comparative and phenomenological approach to Kabbalah and its position in the history of religion. Idel provides fresh insights into the origins of Jewish mysticism, the relation between mystical and historical experience, and the impact of Jewish mysticism on western civilization. "Idel's book is studded with major insights, and innovative approaches to the entire history of Judaism, and mastery of it will be essential for all serious students of Jewish thought."--Arthur Green, New York Times Book Review "Moshe Idel's original, scholarly, and stimulating study of Kabbalah contains the promise of a masterwork."--Elie Wiesel "Moshe Idel's book can help the nonspecialized reader to reconsider the whole of Kabbalistic tradition in comparison with many aspects of contemporary thought."--Umberto Eco "There can be no dispute about the importance and originality of Idel's work. Offering a wealth of complementary insights to Gershom Scholem and his school, it will command a great deal of attention and serious discussion."--Alexander Altmann
Book Synopsis Portuguese Merchants in the Manila Galleon System by : Cuauhtémoc Villamar
Download or read book Portuguese Merchants in the Manila Galleon System written by Cuauhtémoc Villamar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Villamar examines the role of Portuguese merchants in the formation of the Manila Galleon as a system of trade founded at the end of the sixteenth century. The rise of Manila as a crucial transshipment port was not a spontaneous incident. Instead, it came about through a complex combination of circumstances and interconnections that nurtured the establishment of the Manila Galleon system, a trading mechanism that lasted two and half centuries from 1565 until 1815. Villamar analyses the establishment of the regulatory framework of the trade across the Pacific Ocean as a whole setting that provided legality to the transactions, predictability to the transportation and security to the stakeholders. He looks both at the Spanish crown strategy in Asia, and the emergence of a network of Portuguese merchants located in Manila and active in the long-distance trade. This informal community of merchants participated from the inception of the trading system across the Pacific, with connections between Europe, ports in Asia under the control of Portugal, the Spanish colonies in America, and the city of Manila. From its inception, the newly-founded capital of the Philippines became a hub of connections, attracting part of the trade that already existed in Asia. Surveying the Portuguese commercial networks from the ‘Estado da Índia’ across the ‘Spanish lake,’ this book sheds light on the early modern globalization from a truly comprehensive Iberian perspective. This is a valuable resource for scholars of Pacific and Iberian trade history and the maritime history of Asia.

Book Synopsis Being German, Becoming Muslim by : Esra Özyürek
Download or read book Being German, Becoming Muslim written by Esra Özyürek and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-23 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year more and more Europeans, including Germans, are embracing Islam. It is estimated that there are now up to one hundred thousand German converts—a number similar to that in France and the United Kingdom. What stands out about recent conversions is that they take place at a time when Islam is increasingly seen as contrary to European values. Being German, Becoming Muslim explores how Germans come to Islam within this antagonistic climate, how they manage to balance their love for Islam with their society's fear of it, how they relate to immigrant Muslims, and how they shape debates about race, religion, and belonging in today’s Europe. Esra Özyürek looks at how mainstream society marginalizes converts and questions their national loyalties. In turn, converts try to disassociate themselves from migrants of Muslim-majority countries and promote a denationalized Islam untainted by Turkish or Arab traditions. Some German Muslims believe that once cleansed of these accretions, the Islam that surfaces fits in well with German values and lifestyle. Others even argue that being a German Muslim is wholly compatible with the older values of the German Enlightenment. Being German, Becoming Muslim provides a fresh window into the connections and tensions stemming from a growing religious phenomenon in Germany and beyond.
