In this thesis, the phenomenon of fundamental hope is understood as atmosphere.As a metaphor, hope as atmosphere finds a new expression of hope other than the light-metaphor that dominates the discourse of hope. Hope is not only the light that illuminates the dark moments of life, but also, more fundamentally, in the air, it lies in the sphere in-between and saturates each life experience and every living moment.As an existential reality, hope as atmosphere reveals our hopeful way of atmospheric co-existence. Communal love constitutes the ground of this hopeful co-existence, it keeps the hopeful co-existence constantly refreshed and open, guaranteeing more possibilities of hope. On the basis of communal love, hopeful co-existence shows its ontological meaning as a way towards life.The thesis of hope as atmosphere finds resonance and expression not only in Christian trinitarianly based understanding of hope, but also in the most central doctrine of co-humanity in Confucianism.

For Alfred North Whitehead, the fundamental basis of reality is connectivity; the possibility, interdependence and actualisation that defy our human desire for structure, categorisation and division. In this spirit, Professor Roland Faber combines the disparate interests of Whiteheads study - from Mathematics to Divinity, Political Philosophy to Cosmology - to trace the thematic similarities of this work, and establish their unity in the mind of Whitehead. Focussing on the experience of reading Whiteheads rich text, Faber invites the reader not to search for fixed patterns but to explore the impermanence and diversity of Whiteheads ideas. The Mind of Whitehead offers the curious reader a creative exploration of a crucial twentieth-century philosopher, speaking to global concerns from a position of possibility and complexity.

In Leibniz Denken stehen das Verstandnis von Realitat und ein systematischer Begriff von harmonischer Komplexitat in einem durchgehenden Spannungsverhaltnis, dessen produktive Auflosung Leibniz insbesondere in seiner spaten Philosophie ab Mitte der 1690er Jahre im Rahmen seiner neu konzipierten Theorie der Monaden zu erreichen suchte. Als "real" kann jetzt nur noch das gedacht werden, was irgendeinen Grad an Harmonie der es konstituierenden Momente aufweist. Dies hat Konsequenzen in Ontologie, Erkenntnistheorie und Naturwissenschaft. International renommierte Leibnizforscher aus den USA und Europa legen in diesem Band Interpretationsansatze zu diesen Konsequenzen vor.

The Perfection of Freedom seeks to respond to the impoverished conventional notion of freedom through a recovery of an understanding rich with possibilities yet all but forgotten in contemporary thought. This understanding, developed in different but complementary ways by the German thinkers Schiller, Schelling, and Hegel, connects freedom, not exclusively with power and possibility, but rather, most fundamentally, with completion, wholeness, and actuality. What is unique here is specifically the interpretation of freedom in terms of form, whether it be aesthetic form (Schiller), organic form (Schelling), or social form (Hegel). Although this book presents serious criticisms of the three philosophers, it shows that they open new avenues for reflection on the notion of freedom; avenues that promise to overcome many of the dichotomies that continue to haunt contemporary thought - for example, between freedom and order, freedom and nature, and self and other. The Perfection of Freedom offers not only a significantly new interpretation of Schiller, Schelling, and Hegel, but also proposes a modernity more organically rooted in the ancient and classical Christian worlds.

In September 1855, Teresa Dus, a Slovenian-speaking ten-year-old girl, saw the Virgin Mary in Porzus. The apparitions began a devotion among the Slovenian population on the border between the Italian and Slovenian ethnicities and cultures. The ecclesiastical authorities of Udine took the child, locked her in a religious house and extinguished the devotion. The context was marked by a cholera epidemic and by the "national" and pan-Slavist problem, exacerbated by the Crimean war (18531856). Devotion to the Virgin had had an international flowering "from below" (La Salette, 1846), followed by the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception (1854). The dogma was then "sanctioned" by the apparitions of Lourdes (1858). The Porzus affair is investigated in this international context.

This volume is the outcome of the first international conference held in Istanbul in December 2022 and promoted by the Fondazione per le scienze religiose. It delves deeply into the Council of Nicaeas historical significance, particularly its role in shaping the Nicene Creed. The various contributions meticulously examine the Creeds development and its crucial role in defining Christian doctrine. Fresh perspectives are applied to understudied aspects of the Creed, such as its reception in different regions or its influence on theological debates. By charting new paths for future research, this work promises to be a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the enduring legacy of the Council of Nicaea and its Creed.

The editors have brought together an international group of scholars, and among the contributors many scholarly traditions, theoretical orientations, and methodological approaches are represented, making this book an interdisciplinary and border-crossing endeavour. A comprehensivebibliography of Seims work is included.

The Reformation era has long been seen as crucial in developing the institutions and society of the English-speaking peoples, and study of the Tudor and Stuart era is at the heart of most courses in English history. The influence of the Book of Common Prayer and the King James version of the Bible created the modern English language, but until the publication of Gerald Brays Documents of the English Reformation there had been no collection of contemporary documents available to show how these momentous social and political changes took place. This comprehensive collection covers the period from 1526 to 1700 and contains many texts previously relatively inaccessible, along with others more widely known. The book also provides informative appendixes, including comparative tables of the different articles and confessions, showing their mutual relationships and dependence. With fifty-eight documents covering all the main Statutes, Injunctions and Orders, Prefaces to prayer books, Biblical translations and other relevant texts, thi62620620p 620p20p s third edition of Docume

The series Ethiopic Manuscripts, Texts, and Studies offers, in the first place, catalogues of the Ethiopic Manuscript Imaging Project, whose purpose it is to digitize and catalogue collections of Ethiopic manuscripts in North America and around the world. Beyond this, though, the series offers a venue for monographs, revised dissertations, and texts that explore the rich historical, literary, and artistic traditions of Ethiopia and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

Fue el retiro, la misantropía, el desengaño y el sentimiento de vanitas generalizada el que rigió la sociedad española (al menos las de sus élites artísticas), tanto en el Antiguo Régimen como en las actualisimas condiciones de vida. Explorando estas circunstancias, el libro da cuenta de un hecho singular: el de que fue España, por sus especiales condiciones politicas y debido a la misma singularidad de su travesia por la historia, el lugar del mundo en que estos afectos se produjeron con especial fuerza y firme determinacion. Hasta el punto de impactar en lo que fueron sus modos de produccion de presencia, que acabaron por definir al pais y a sus mismos habitantes.Los nueve capitulos recorren distintas trayectorias del tema fundamental, que es el del alejamiento y el disenso con respecto a una idea de mundo, llevada a cabo, en principio, por los ideologos del Barroco hispano y, despues, por los sucesivos estadios en que se vio envuelta la cultura y la sociedad, hasta llegar al sarcoscovid 19.Logicas del disenso, a traves de la exploracion de diferentes perspectivas (el obelisco, la idea de "desierto", la fortaleza, la enemistad, el retiro de las elites y, al final, el salon de reinos y su apropiacion cultural, ademas de que "nunca fuimos modernos" y el hecho mismo de lo que la pandemia significo, especialmente para España), supone que, en tal ambito, caben muchas dudas acerca de que el signo de progreso iniciara su marcha triunfal

Raimon Panikkar (Barcelona, 1918-Tavertet, 2010) es uno de los representantes más destacados del pensamiento intercultural y el diálogo interreligioso. Al final de su vida emprendió la tarea de seleccionar y organizar tematicamente su profusa obra, publicada en varios idiomas."Estas Obras completas comprenden un lapso de cerca de setenta años durante el cual me he dedicado a profundizar en el sentido de una vida humana mas justa y plena. No he vivido para escribir, sino que he escrito para vivir de una forma mas consciente y para ayudar a mis hermanos con pensamientos surgidos no solo de mi mente, sino de una Fuente superior que bien puede llamarse Espiritu."El primer volumen se ha dividido en dos tomos, el primero dedicado a la mistica, entendida como la experiencia suprema de la realidad, y el segundo a la espiritualidad, vista sobre todo como camino para alcanzar dicha experiencia. Espiritualidad, el camino de la Vida comienza con varios textos breves que reproducen charlas realizadas en retiros de ambiente cristiano. La Segunda parte trata de la espiritualidad propia del monje, aunque no limitada a la institucion monastica, sino mas bien como arquetipo universal en cada hombre (busqueda del monos, union con lo divino). Sigue una descripcion de la tradicion ascetica en la India y un escrito dedicado al amigo Henri Le Saux, ejemplo de un encuentro fecundo de la espiritualidad occidental cristiana con la de la India. La ultima parte esta dedicada a la sabiduria como meta de una espiritualidad positiva.

This volume provides a comparative re-evaluation of central aspects of Kants and Cassirers philosophical systems. Instead of seeing Cassirer merely as the historian of Kants philosophy, or as eclectically introducing Kantian themes to his own philosophy of culture, the contributions collected in this volume advance a mutually illuminating account of Kant and Cassirer. This volume aims to foster philosophical discourse at a number of yet unexplored hermeneutic frontiers: from the status and the consistency of our cognitive activities to their relationship with the positive sciences, from the nature and value of moral agency to the political and institutional challenges of the contemporary world, and from the dialectic between knowledge and morality to the need of a comprehensive perspective on the whole of human practices. The research interests articulated in these essays thus revolve around three main axes. The first is devoted to Kants legacy and its presence and role in Cassirers philosophy; the second focuses on Cassirers own interpretation, appropriation and development of Kants critique of reason; the third consists in a philosophical confrontation between Kant and Cassirer connected by the idea that our reason shapes the world we live in, and that this formation process is premised on a moral standpoint.

Der Band Cassirer in Contexts ist Bestandteil des wiederauflebenden Interesses an den philosophischen Errungenschaften Ernst Cassirers. Die hier versammelten Aufsatze wurden von Forscherinnen und Forschern aus verschiedenen akademischen Disziplinen verfasst, was sich in der Reichhaltigkeit der behandelten Themen widerspiegelt.Der Sammelband enthalt Zusammenfassungen und kritische Diskussionen mehrerer fur Cassirers Philosophie wichtiger Konzepte etwa die Bedeutung des Symbolischen oder des Mythos sowie Erorterungen hinsichtlich des Einflusses von Cassirers Denken auf die Entwicklung bestimmter philosophischer Teildisziplinen, besonders der Sprachphilosophie und Philosophie der Mathematik. Des Weiteren dient der Band als Beleg fur die Aktualitat von Cassirers Denken, als Beweis dafur, dass dieses nach wie vor eine Quelle theoretischer und philosophischer Inspiration ist und sein Erklarungspotenzial in einer Vielzahl von Kontexten genutzt werden kann

Recent years have seen a dramatic change in scholarly views of the later career of Arabic and Islamic philosophy. For much of the twentieth century, researchers tended to dismiss the value of Arabic writings on philosophy and logic after the twelfth century, often on the basis of the prejudice that handbooks, commentaries and glosses are of necessity pedantic and unoriginal. This assumption has now been abandoned. As a consequence, a vast amount of later Arabic writings on philosophy and logic, hitherto neglected, are now being studied and edited.The present work is an attempt at giving an overview of the development of Arabic logic from 1200 to 1800, identifying major themes, figures and works in this period, while taking into account regional differences within the Islamic world. It offers a corrective to Nicholas Reschers seminal but now outdated The Development of Arabic Logic, published in 1964.

The emancipation of the natural sciences from religion was a gradual affair during the last four centuries. Initially many of the leading scientists were churchmen indicating a symbiosis between faith and reason. Due to the increasing specialization in the sciences this close connection came to an end often leading to antagonism and mutual suspicion. This book traces this historical development with its twists and turns in both Europe and North America. It depicts the major players in this story and outlines their specific contributions. The main focus is on the 19th and 20th centuries with figures such as Darwin and Hodge, but also Beecher and Abbott in the 19th century. In the 20th century the narrative starts with Karl Barth and moves all the way to Hawking and Tipler. Special attention is given to representatives from North America, Great Britain, and Germany. In conclusion important issues are presented in the present-day dialogue between theology and the natural sciences. The issue of design and fine-tuning is picked up, and advances in brain research. Finally technological issues are assessed and the status of medicine as a helpmate for life is discussed. An informative and thought-provoking book.

Artificial Morality: An Exploration of Moral Machines is an exploration of the ethical and philosophical challenges in developing artificial intelligence systems capable of moral reasoning and behaviour. Bridging centuries of philosophical debate with analyses of large language models, this book examines how shifting conceptions of human identity and the evolution of technology shape our understanding of morality. It critiques anthropocentric views of ethical agency while proposing innovative frameworks for aligning AI with diverse human values. Through a deep dive into the technical architectures of current AI systems, discussions on machine consciousness, and the risks posed by autonomous systems, Andrei Nutas charts a path for embedding principles like fairness, privacy, and accountability into future intelligent machines. This study concludes by advocating for the nurturing of machine wisdom, guided by universal principles that transcend rigid exceptionalism, ultimately aiming to foster a more compassionate and equitable future for all sentient beings.
