Recent developments in technology have given rise to the impression that the boundaries imposed by our bodiliness can somehow be overcome. The increasing philosophical interest in bodiliness as an unavoidable human condition can be seen as a response to this far too comfortable impression. The essays in this volume address the topic of bodiliness from a theological point of view. They show that our perceptions of, and relationships with, one another cannot be divorced from our bodily condition, and that this existential reality affects significantly how we understand our relationship with God. The contributions also address how we can best deal with the fragility of our bodily condition, as well as the challenges that technological and medical procedures for altering the appearance and constitution of our bodies pose. Special attention is given to how liturgical experience not only offers us a means to respond to these challenges but also to deepen our understanding of Christian communities as ineluctably bodily.

Angeregt von Freunden und Kollegen, legte Ernst Cassirer 1944 im amerikanischen Exil mit dem Essay on Man eine komprimierte und zugleich uberarbeitete Fassung seiner Kulturphilosophie vor, in der er die dreibandige Philosophie der symbolischen Formen in ihren Hauptgedanken fortfuhrt. Dabei wird der wohl wichtigste Bestandteil der Cassirerschen Kulturphilosophie, die Idee der Humanitat, thematisiert und zusammenfassend begrundet. Mit Bezugnahme auf das komplexe und vielschichtige Gefuge von Sprache, Mythos, Religion, Kunst, Geschichte und Wissenschaft bestimmt Cassirer den Menschen als animal symbolicum, als ein Wesen, das Symbole schafft und sich durch Symbole verstandigt.Dank seiner klaren, verstandlichen Sprache und Argumentationsstruktur ermoglicht der Essay on Man nicht nur dem philosophischen Fachpublikum, sondern auch einem weiteren Kreis interessierter Leser den Zugang zu Cassirers Denken. Er darf somit als allgemeine Einfuhrung in die Philosophie Cassirers verstanden werden. Inhalt:Part I. What is man?I. The Crisis in Mans Knowledge of HimselfII. A Clue to the Nature of Man: the SymbolIII. From Animal Reactions to Human ResponsesIV. The Human World of Space and TimeV. Facts and IdealsPart II. Man and CultureVI.

La conversación civil (Brescia, 1574) de Stefano Guazzo (1530-1593) es uno de los diálogos renacentistas sobre la educación moral de mayor éxito e influencia en Europa: todo un análisis de los diferentes tipos de conversacion, publica o privada, entre amigos, entre jovenes y viejos, entre alfabetizados y analfabetos, entre nobles y plebeyos de la Italia del Renacimiento.

Leibniz introduced the concept of apperception in philosophical discourse. But what does this concept mean? Leibniz seems to equate apperception with reflection while attributing the former to animals but not the latter. If apperception is reflection, however, how could animals possess the one without the other? This study revisits this well-known problem in Leibniz research in two main steps. Using the methodological tool of object- and process-based analyses, it first carves a distinction between apperception and reflection in order to better define the cognitive abilities of humans and animals. This conceptual work sheds light on an animal kind of apperception, yet the unity of "animal apperception" remains problematic. Since it cannot be explained by the function underlying "human apperception", this study then explores what function might account for it.

It has become commonplace to associate art and aesthetic experience with the category of ambiguity. Indeed, when we talk about art, we cannot do without the dynamic force of ambiguity just as the aesthetic itself cannot do without it. The great efforts to disambiguate aesthetic practices and their associated theories and contexts would eliminate arts unique ability to reshape our knowledge of the world, our sensory encounters with it, and our moral or political positions in it.The essays collected in this volume present different perspectives on this central category and develop interdisciplinary connections. Contributors include Frauke Berndt, Joy H. Calico, Stephan Kammer, Lutz Koepnick, Verena Krieger, Richard Langston, Rachel Mader, Lily Tonger-Erk, Gabriel Trop, and Thomas Wortmann.

ECPA Gold Medallion Award Chicago Book Clinic Award of Excellence What is real? What is truth? What can we know? What should we believe? What should we do and why? Is there a God? Can we know him? Do Christian doctrines make sense? Can we believe in God in the face of evil? These are fundamental questions that philosophy answers. And the answers we give to these kinds of questions serve as the foundation for constructing our worldview.In this updated and expanded second edition, Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview by J. P. Moreland and William Lane Craig offers a comprehensive introduction to philosophy from a Christian perspective. With characteristic clarity and incisiveness, Moreland and Craig outline clear arguments and present rival theories with fairness and accuracy. They introduce readers to the principal subdisciplines of philosophy including epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics, and philosophy of religion.In this book, Moreland and Craig show how philosophy aids Christians in the tasks of apologetics, polemics, and systematic theology; reflects that we are made in the image of God; helps us to extend biblical teaching into areas not expressly addressed in Scripture; facilitates the spiritual discipline of study; enhances the boldness and self-image of the Christian community; and is requisite to the essential task of integrating faith and learning. This textbook is a lively and thorough introduction to philosophy for all who want to understand reality. This second edition includes enhanced arguments, updated bibliographies, and new chapters on atonement and the mind-body problem. With Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview, get a clear and comprehensive guide for understanding philosophy from a Christian worldview.

¿Cuál es la actualidad del pensamiento de Levinas en filosofía política? La pregunta tiene dos respuestas. La primera se relaciona -siguiendo a Foucault- con la ampliación de la pregunta por el "poder" a los campos de normalizacion social, lo que muestra una coincidencia con la preocupacion levinasiana por identificar en la metafisica un movimiento totalizante. Por otra parte, dicha actualidad tambien corresponde a una necesaria renovacion de la filosofia politica en el contexto de la destruccion de la historia de la metafisica. La sagacidad de Levinas fue la de haber comprendido la pregnancia de las formas de dominacion asociada a la ontologia, de tal forma que la politica no puede seguir siendo ser pensada como lo habia sido hasta entonces sin traicionar su mismo potencial emancipatorio.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is viewed as one of the technological advances that will reshape modern societies and their relations. While the design and deployment of systems that continually adapt hold the promise of far-reaching, positive change, they simultaneously pose significant risks, especially to already vulnerable people. This work explores the meaning of AI, and the important role of critical understanding and its phenomenological foundation in shaping its ongoing advances. The values, power, and magic of reason are central to this discussion. Critical theory has used historical hindsight to explain the patterns of power that shape our intellectual, political, economic, and social worlds, and the discourse on AI that surrounds these worlds. The authors also delve into niche topics in philosophy such as transcendental self-awareness, post-humanism, and concepts of space-time and computer logic. By embedding a critical phenomenological orientation within their technical practices, AI communities can develop foresight and tactics that can better align research and technology development with established ethical principles centering vulnerable people who continue to bear the brunt of the negative impacts of innovation and scientific progress. The creation of a criticaltechnical practice of AI will lead to a permanent revolution in social, scientific, and political communities. The years ahead will usher in a wave of new scientific breakthroughs and technologies driven by AI research, making it incumbent upon AI communities to strengthen the social contract through ethical foresight, a capability which only phenomenology can deliver, ultimately supporting future technologies that enable greater well-being, with the goal of delivering practical truths. A Critical Understanding of Artificial Intelligence: A Phenomenological Foundation is an essential read for anyone interested in the complex debate and phenomenology surrounding AI and its growing role in our society.

Religious Horror and Holy War in Viking Age Francia explores how authorities in western Francia used horror rhetoric to cast Christian soldiers, who robbed the poor and the church, as monsters that devoured human flesh and drank human blood. Adapting modern literary horror approaches to medieval sources, this study reveals how such rhetoric served as a form of spiritual weaponry in the clergys attempts to correct and condemn wayward military men. This investigation, therefore, unearths long-forgotten Carolingian thought about the dreadful spiritual reality of internal enemies during a time of political division and the Northmens depredations. Yet such horror also informed a new understanding of Christian heroism that developed in relation to the wars fought against the invaders. This vision of heroic soldiers, which included military martyrs, culminated in ideas about holy war against the pagans. Thus Carolingian religious horror and holy war together belonged to a body of ideas about the spiritual, unseen side of the churchs cosmic conflict against evil that foreshadowed later medieval Crusading thought.

Augustine and the Humanists investigates the reception of Augustines De civitate Dei in Italian humanism during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In response to the urgent call for a more extensive and detailed investigation of the reception of Augustines works and thought in the Western world, numerous scholars have addressed the topic over the last decades. However, one of Augustines major works, De civitate Dei, has received remarkably little attention. In a series of case studies by renowned specialists of Italian humanism, this volume now analyzes the various strategies that were employed in reading and interpreting the City of God at the dawn of the modern age. Augustine and the Humanists focuses on the reception of the text in the work of sixteen early modern writers and thinkers who played a crucial role in the era between Petrarch and Poliziano. The present volume thus makes a significant and innovative contribution both to Augustinian studies and to our knowledge of early modern intellectual history.

The philosophy of Leibniz is often considered as an intellectualism. Speculation is said to take precedence over experience in it. Against this persistent misunderstanding, Leibniz holds that experience plays a constitutive role in all areas of knowledge, even in mathematics and even in metaphysics. For metaphysics itself shall rely on common experiences and empirical observations. In this sense, one can speak of a true experimental philosophy in Leibniz, which does not reduce itself to a mere explanation of natural phenomena through deduction and induction which was the understanding of experimental philosophy when Newton coined the term. On the contrary, Leibnizs experimental philosophy seeks to overcome the vacuity of the modest empiricists and the boldness of the so-called experimental philosophers. Without being exhaustive, this volume brings together contributions on the various facets of this experimental philosophy and on the various aspects of experience itself from considerations in metaphysics and natural philosophy to Leibnizs project of an encyclopaedia of all knowledge.

Readers, texts, horizons and history: the unfinished task of understanding our world and ourselves. Life is a journey and certainly understanding what we read is an exciting one! But what happens when we read? To be sure, reading is more than just getting information. We come to see the world anew and ourselves from a different angle whenever we read a text. Texts also bring about different possibilities of being-in-the-world. In that sense, reading is an authentic learning experience. The Epistle to the Romans has played an important role in shaping the Christian faith. Particularly, Pauls instruction on civil matters has been instrumental in the development of a Christian political thought. Shifting political matters demand from the Church relevant answers. The readers of Romans 13 are left with the unfinished task of affirming and transforming the sphere of civil power in the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, this task can only be undertaken when we appropriate the lessons from the past keeping an eye to the future.

The multiple facets of this volume belong to five large themes. The first theme, that of persuasion and manipulation, is studied here through electoral campaigns (i.e., mental filters used in voting manipulation, the mechanisms of vote mobilisation, manipulation and storytelling models). The institutionalization of education represents the second theme, approached here through specific interdisciplinary instruments: the intersection of higher education with public learning, the answers of the knowledge society to the issues of contemporary work problems, the institutional relationships used to solve educational problems specific to childhood and adolescence, as well as the role of media competencies in professional development. The third theme is related to the inheritance and transmission of cultural identity, instrumentalized through issues such as: the duty of intergenerational justice with regard to cultural heritage, education and vocational training in library science, the social inclusion role of public and digital libraries. The collective and cultural identity of communities represents the fourth large theme, being approached through a triple perspective: the philosophical background of restoring the political dignity of communities, the communication space as a point of a needle towards the community space, and the communicational issue of the European capital of culture programmes. Lastly, the fifth theme belongs to practical and applied philosophy, specifically philosophical counselling, debating issues such as: the identification of the communicational background for this type of counselling, the secular approach to the problem of evil from a philosophical counselling perspective, the discussion of Platons attitude towards suicide and of frank speech in the Epicurean school, the socio-anthropological perspective of immortality, as well as the formal approach of the relationship between real and imaginary.
