Download or read book Past and Present Political Theology written by Dennis Vanden Auweele and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates how discussions of Political Theology have been a constant feature throughout philosophical modernity and that they continue to impact contemporary political debates. By tracing the historical roots and detailing the contemporary outworking of Political Theology in Europe, it contends that this growing field requires a broader "canon" in order for it to mature. Political Theology is shown here to be about the diversity of relationships between religious beliefs and political orientations. First engaging with historical debates, chapters re-examine the relationship between personal conviction and societal orientation on such topics as the will to believe, evil, individualism, the relationship between church and state, and the relationship between belief and natural science. The volume then establishes the relevance of these debates for the present day. As such, it invites engagement on the back and forth between religion and politics in a liberal democracy and a communist state, on how communitarianism relates to religious language, on the diversity of Christian and Jewish political theology, and the politics of toleration. By broadening out the field of Political Theology this book offers the reader a more nuanced understanding of its sustained influence on public life. As such it will be of interest to academics working in Political Theology, but also Theology, Philosophy and Political Science more generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dussel (ethics, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico) shows how North American and European philosophies have failed to give historically faithful analysis of the genesis of the "myth" of modernity, and have never engaged in a serious questioning of their own Eurocentric presuppositions. He contends that North American and European philosophers have fallen into a false belief that there is a linear sequence that moves from the premodern to the modern, developed, and industrialized.

This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 2590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra fue proyectada, más que como un libro, como el inicio de un movimiento filosófico continental. Es decir, los autores de las contribuciones toman conciencia de que la tarea que han asumido es de tal envergadura que no pueden sino cumplirla parcialmente. Los trabajos a lo largo y ancho de toda la región latinoamericana sobrepasan a los especialistas de la historia o de temas expuestos en el orden nacional. Cuando debe abordarse la temática tal como lo exige una obra sobre la filosofía latinoamericana, se encuentran dificultades tales como la falta de bibliotecas especializadas en esta problemática regional, de especialistas que hayan tratado los temas y estudiado suficientemente los asuntos para proponer diversas hipótesis que permitan fecundos debates. Todo comienza entonces por obtener materiales bibliográficos y temáticos necesarios. Esto no se logra en corto tiempo, exige años de perseverancia en la que los autores adquieren conciencia de los límites de la presente empresa. Por ello, mucho más que el lector son los mismos editores y autores de esta obra los que tienen conciencia de que sólo se ha iniciado la extracción de un precioso metal de una rica mina casi inexplorada en su conjunto.

Download or read book Philosophy of Liberation written by Enrique Dussel and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-12-02 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argentinean philosopher, theologian, and historian Enrique Dussel understands the present international order as divided into the "culture of the center" -- by which he means the ruling elite of Europe, North America, and Russia -- and "the peoples of the periphery" -- by which he means the populations of Latin America, Africa, and part of Asia, and the oppressed classes (including women and children) throughout the world. In 'Philosophy of Liberation,' he presents a profound analysis of the alienation of peripheral peoples resulting from the imperialism of the center for more than five centuries. Dussel's aim is to demonstrate that the center's historic cultural, military, and economic domination of poor countries is 'philosophically' founded on North Atlantic onthology. By expressing supposedly universal knowledge, European philosophies, argues Dussel, have served to equate the cultural standards, modes of behavior, and rationalistic orientation of the West with human nature and to condemn the unique characteristics of peripheral peoples as "nonbeing, nothing, chaos, irrationality." Hence, Western philosophies have historically legitimated and hidden the domination that oppressed cultures have suffered at the hands of the center. Dussel probes multinational corporations, the communications media, and the armies of the center with their counterparts among the Third World elite. The creation of a just world order in the future, according to Dussel, hinges on the liberation of the periphery, based on a philosophy that is able to "think the world" from the perspective of the poor and to reclaim the Third World's distinct cultural inheritance, which is imbedded in the popular cultures of the poor. Apart from the liberation of the periphery, there will be no future: "the center will feed itself on the sameness it has ingrained within itself. The death of the child, of the poor, will be its own death." This is a disquieting but stimulating book for scholars and advanced students of philosophy, ethics, liberation theology, and global politics.
