This volume, which is the result of an international conference with participants from the universities of Bochum and Tel Aviv in 2023, brings together twelve contributions that examine prayer in Judaism and Christianity as a place of religious identity construction. In addition to fundamental philosophical and theological questions about the counterpart of prayer and explanations of spiritual practice in intercultural contexts, literary strategies of prayer in the Hebrew Bible and in the texts of Qumran are analyzed. Other contributions explore the Jewish roots of Christian prayer traditions and point to current forms and functions of prayer in Jewish and Christian educational contexts and in the religious poetry of Shalom Ben-Chorin. The interdisciplinary analyses open up new perspectives on prayer as an expression of religious self-identity.[Das Gebet in judischer und christlicher Tradition. Identitat, Praxis und interkulturelle Kontakte] Der vorliegende Band, der auf eine internationale Konferenz mit Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern der Universitaten Bochum und Tel Aviv im Jahre 2023 zuruckgeht, versammelt zwolf Beitrage, die das Gebet im Judentum und Christentum als Ort religioser Identitatskonstruktion beleuchten. Neben grundlegenden philosophisch-theologischen Fragen zum Gegenuber des Gebets und Ausfuhrungen zu spiritueller Praxis in interkulturellen Kontexten werden literarische Strategien des Betens in der Hebraischen Bibel und in den Texten von Qumran analysiert. Weitere Beitrage fragen nach den judischen Wurzeln christlicher Gebetstraditionen und verweisen auf aktuelle Formen und Funktionen des Gebets in judischen und christlichen Bildungskontexten und in der religiosen Dichtung Schalom Ben-Chorins. Die interdisziplinaren Analysen eroffnen neue Perspektiven auf das Gebet als Ausdruck religioser Selbstverortung.

When was the church founded? Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God and not of a religious organization subsequently called church. We dont find in the Gospels expressions which make reference to the foundation of a new religious community, a new and distinct community of followers of Jesus. But after the resurrection of Jesus, his followers, as a result of his express command, gather together not only those from the people of Israel but men and women of all nations.The final clauses of the Nicene Creed spell out, briefly and to the point, the churchs self-understanding in these early centuries. Angelo Di Berardino assembles a wide range of texts and teachers of the church during these years to enrich our understanding and deepen our faith in the great mysteries expressed here.The Creed quickly hits the four marks of the churchthat it is "one holy catholic and apostolic." What do we mean by professing each of these? Di Berardino helps us to give an answer with the help of the fathers of the church.The volume closes, as does the Creed, with a consideration of baptism (the traditional entrance for people into the church) and two central features of the church in the futurethe expectation that all of Gods people will enjoy the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.The five-volume Ancient Christian Doctrine series follows up on the acclaimed Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture to provide patristic commentary on the Nicene Creed, translating source material from the church fathers into English for unparalleled insight into early church history.

"The Spirit blows where it pleases," Jesus said to Nicodemus."You hear its sound but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."The Spirit, like the wind, is hard to pin down. Any discussion of the Spirit is fraught with the difficulty of speaking about something or someone who defies definition and who purposely averts attention from himself toward someone else. So it is with the Spirit. And so it is with the churchs reception of and conversation about the Spirit, even in its early centuries. It is hard to pin down, and the churchs voice on the Spirit has been about as loud as the whisper of the wind that indicates the Spirits presence.The churchs teaching on the Holy Spirit is perhaps what Nicolas Berdayev has called "the last unexplored theological frontier." In these latter days of the church, this "final frontier" is receiving increasing attention. The rise of the Pentecostal movement, the engaged witness of the Orthodox churches, which have historically been more sensitive to the role of the Spirit, coupled with the fact that people in general are looking for a deeper and more relational faith, perhaps help explain in part the increased attention the Spirit is getting.It is appropriate then that the base camp of this exploration be established in the early understanding of the church on these matters. Following the outline of the succinct third article of the Nicene Creed, Joel Elowsky opens up to us vistas of the Holy Spirit with expertly selected passages from ancient Christian writings.This portion of the Creed, apart from the filioque, is largely uncontroversial. The full deity of the Spirit is highlighted not so much by theological definition as by the emphasis on worship and action. While the Creed itself does not speak directly of the work of the Spirit in justification, sanctification and the like, the early church theologians nevertheless had much to say on these issues. Here we see clearly how the Spirit is "giver of life."The five-volume Ancient Christian Doctrine series follows up on the acclaimed Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture to provide patristic commentary on the Nicene Creed, translating source material from the church fathers into English for unparalleled insight into early church history.

This volume focuses on international comparison and transfer against the background of the two projects "Religious Education in Schools in Europe" (RelEdu) and "International Knowledge Transfer" (IKT). The benefit of this approach can be seen in the concretization of methodological questions which in this way can be discussed with reference to these research projects and the questions associated with them. In addition, the two focal points of comparison and transfer are discussed in the wider context of internationalization, especially internationalization in science and particularly in research on religious education. This contextualization reflects the growing interest in international comparative research in religious education to which the present volume also contributes.

As the world grows more complex, understanding becomes a collective rather than an individual act. Systems do not react sequentially but simultaneously; developments overlap; and decisions emerge within a field of diverse signals and perspectives. Stability in such a world is no longer a static condition but a question of how we perceive, connect, interpret, and act when signals are fragmented and time windows are narrow. The Global Learning Framework (GLF) begins precisely here: as a universal meta architecture that does not simplify complexity but makes it intelligible. It translates six foundational concepts visibility, structure, dynamics, interfaces, instability and capacity to act into a circular mode of shared learning. Within this rhythm, the four pillars SEE, CONNECT, INTERPRET and ACT function not as linear steps but as recurring movements of collective sense making. The GLF does not replace existing methods; it provides a shared language that aligns heterogeneous data, perspectives and decision logics within an integrated risk and learning architecture. The GeoResilience Compass extends this by adding a spatial dynamic dimension, showing where instabilities may emerge, how they propagate, and which interventions could be systemically effective. Subsea cables illustrate this interplay: they combine technical precision, ecological sensitivity, maritime reality and institutional responsibility within a single system whose risks become visible only when multiple signals are considered together. The Subsea Edition demonstrates how the GLF can operate in a highly dynamic, ambiguous and internationally shared environment while remaining equally relevant to epidemiology, urban resilience, energy systems, ecosystems, critical infrastructures and governance. In a time when global risks are increasingly intertwined and stability depends on anticipatory design rather than reaction, the GLF offers a way to see, connect, interpret, act and learn together.

Stop treating symptoms and start curing diseases. We live in a complex web of interconnected systemsthe economy, the climate, our bodiesyet we are taught to think in straight lines (Cause - Effect). "Thinking in Systems" (inspired by Donella Meadows) equips you with the mindset to understand and solve complex problems.Learn to see the world in loops, stocks, and flows. Why do well-intentioned policies often lead to worse outcomes (cobra effect)? Because of feedback loops and delays. Discover how to identify "leverage points"places in the system where a small shift in one thing can produce big changes in everything.From corporate strategy to environmental sustainability, systems thinking is the tool for the 21st century. Move beyond reacting to events and start understanding the structures that cause them. If you want to change the result, you must change the system.

The world is not getting worse; your news feed is just getting better at scaring you. Every day, we are bombarded with headlines about war, disaster, and collapse. But the data tells a completely different story. "Fact Over Fear" (inspired by Factfulness) arms you with the most powerful weapon against pessimism: reality.With hard data and clear charts, this book debunks the pervasive myths of global decline. Did you know that extreme poverty has halved in the last 20 years? That child mortality is at an all-time low? That we are safer, healthier, and better educated than any generation before us? Our brains are wired to pay attention to danger, which creates a distorted worldview.Stop letting your instincts and the media dictate your reality. Learn to see the long-term trends behind the breaking news. Adopting a "possibilistic" worldview doesnt mean ignoring problems; it means recognizing our capacity to solve them. This book is a cure for anxiety and a call to rational optimism.

The uneven recovery from the 2008 global financial crisis led to a stabilisation of international trade and capital flows. However, in the following years the surge of protectionist measures and deepening rivalries between big powers precipitated a crisis of the rule-based multilateral order. The pandemic crisis and the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine have boosted international economic fragmentation along geopolitical lines and may drive the global economy towards a reversal of the globalisation process that marked the second half of the 20th century.Mounting cross-border restrictions on the exchange of essential goods and services during the recent poly-crisis has caused big disruptions in global production networks evamping the debate on the future of global economic interdependence, and the potentialities and downsides of reshoring, nearshoring or friendshoring processes. Indeed, the reconfiguration of global value chains (GVCs) has been increasingly debated as an economic policy tool to secure the supply of critical products and establish economic security at the national level. Such defensive posturing raises concerns over how to manage emerging trade-offs between the benefits of openness (economic integration) and those of autonomy (economic security).The Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), in the framework of its partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo, launched a task force of experts to contribute to the current discussion on the implications and possible future configurations of international production networks at a time of a resurgence of national economic security. The overall research effort has involved different regional perspectives and multidisciplinary approaches to shed light on the implications of the policy-driven process of international economic fragmentation in the fields of trade, technology, labour, international finance, global public goods and other dimensions of international economic relations.

La estética, según la mirada de Yuriko Saito, no puede reducirse a una filosofía del arte, sino que está íntimamente relacionada con nuestro día a día, con el cuidado de lo cotidiano, es decir, con la relacion que establecemos con lo otro, ya sean seres humanos, criaturas no humanas, entornos u objetos. Mas alla de su identificacion con una demanda etica, el cuidado es una parte esencial de una manera de comprender la estetica que busca enriquecer la vida de las personas y definir nuestra forma de relacionarnos con el mundo.Inspirandose en la etica del cuidado y la cultura y estetica japonesa, la autora nos muestra la inseparabilidad de lo etico y lo estetico en la busqueda de la vida buena y de un yo virtuoso.

Primer volumen de la trilogía Esferas, la obra cumbre del filósofo alemán.La Trilogía Esferas es, sin duda, el opus magnum de Peter Sloterdijk. Comienza convocando los sentidos, las sensaciones y el entendimiento de lo cercano; aquello que la filosofia suele pasar por alto: el espacio vivido y vivenciado, la experiencia primaria del existir, pues vivimos en entornos, en atmosferas, en esferas; desde la clausura en la madre esfera primigenia, todos los espacios de vida humanos no son sino reminiscencias de esa caverna original siempre añorada. Sloterdijk analiza la conexion entre las crisis vitales y los intentos fracasados de conformar espacios habitables; examina las catastrofes cuando estalla una esfera, como sucedio con el giro copernicano, que hizo saltar las cubiertas imaginarias del cielo bajo el que habian vivido durante siglos los seres humanos. Tambien la Edad Moderna comienza con una nueva experiencia del espacio, con el espanto que le produce a Pascal el silencio eterno de los espacios infinitos. Con gran talento literario, erudicion y brillantez, Sloterdijk desarrolla un nuevo tipo de fenomenologia y ontogenesis de los espacios humanos, repasando sus aventurados vericuetos por el imaginario de la historia, el arte, la literatura, la musica pop, la mitologia, la patristica, la medicina magnetopatica, la psicologia analitica, la mistica, la filosofia Si Heidegger habia empezado la busqueda de un lenguaje para el espacio vivido, como dice Safranski, no es exagerado decir que Sloterdijk ha elevado a un nivel completamente nuevo la filosofia de la coexistencia en el espacio comun, de la intimidad a las macrosferas sociales.La monumental trilogia Esferas es el proyecto filosofico de mayor calado de los tiempos posmodernos.

What, if anything, distinguishes Homo sapiens? Philosophy has offered many answers, including consciousness, language, and rational or symbolic thought. Recently, however, increasing attention has turned to the uniquely human relationship with technology, especially in light of the profound transformations brought about by the Web and artificial intelligence. While humans are not the only beings capable of using tools, in humans technical abilities reach an unparalleled level of sophistication, speed of development, and cumulative complexity.As Maurizio Ferraris argues in Dochumanity, the most decisive revolutions in history are technological ones, reflecting the fact that human beings are fundamentally defined by their relationship with technology. From this perspective, technology is not merely an external aid but a constitutive feature of humanity. On this basis, this issue of Rivista di Estetica explores the deep connections between humans and technology, as well as the evolving relationship between natural and artificial intelligence.
