Download or read book Within the Four Seas written by Ulrich Libbrecht and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world has evolved in such a way that we can no longer reduce it to just a market - it has also become an agora, where philosophers exchange world-views in order to understand one another. Europe has lost its position at the centre of the world and should stop pretending it holds the one true religion, philosophy, economy and science. Instead, we should turn our attention to fulfilling the dream of Erasmus reflected in his statement: "I wish to be a citizen of the world". First and foremost, we should learn to play fair when comparing different cultures and not rely on exlusively western criteria. This book explains how a comparative model, based on the paradigm-free axes of energy and information, accommodates the current world-views of Taoism, Buddhism and Rationalism - representing Chinese, Indian and Western heritages respectively - and shows how science and religion interrelate within such a global framework.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johan Smit het ‘n groot bydra gelewer tot die inhoud van hierdie boek. Ek het Johan Smit ontmoet na ‘n skrywe van my in BRIEWE BEELD sowat 3 jaar gelede. Met my eerste besoek aan hom in Edenvale het hy vir my sy skrywes gewys aan tydskrifte en persone. Persone het ingesluit : Dr. Adrio Konig, Dr. Isak Burger, Dr. Bernard Ficker, Dr. Deon Jonker, Prof. J.S. Malan, Prof. A.D. (Andries ) Du Toit en nog vele geleerdes. Nadat ek ‘n paar van sy briewe gelees het en met hom gesels het, was dit soos ‘n soete geur wat ek gekry het, met die wete dat hierdie man ontsaglike kennis het van : Die Bybel en al die variasies van Christenskap, die geskiedenis van die Christelike geloof, asook baie ander gelowe en Godsdienste. Hy het ‘n goeie kennis van die reg en van getuienis lewer in die hof, wat hy baie behendig gebruik as hy getuienisse in die Bybel aanhaal en ontleed. Daar is ook net geen einde aan hierdie man se algemene kennis nie. Om sy briewe te lees dwing net soveel respek en bewondering af as om ‘n meester-kunstenaar te aanskou terwyl hy sy kunswerk skilder of beeldhouwerk doen.

Download or read book Prophecy written by Howard Kreisel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than any other topic, prophecy represents the point at which the Divine meets the human, the Absolute meets the relative. How can a human being attain the Word of God? In what manner does God, when conceived as eternal and transcendent, address corporeal, transitory creatures? What happens to God's divine Truth when it is beheld by minds limited in their power to apprehend, and influenced by the intellectual currents of their time and place? How were these issues viewed by the great Jewish philosophers of the past, who took the divine communication and all it entails seriously, while at the same time desired to understand it as much as humanly possible in the course of dealing with a myriad of other issues that occupied their attention? This book offers an in-depth study of prophecy in the thought of seven of the leading medieval Jewish philosophers: R. Saadiah Gaon, R. Judah Halevi, Maimonides, Gersonides, R. Hasdai Crescas, R. Joseph Albo and Baruch Spinoza. It attempts to capture the `original voice' of these thinkers by looking at the intellectual milieus in which they developed their philosophies, and by carefully analyzing their views in their textual contexts. It also deals with the relation between the earlier approaches and the later ones. Overall, this book presents a significant model for narrating the history of an idea.
Download or read book In the Phrygian Mode written by Robert Sweetman and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2007 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume... has emerged from a small scholarly conference... on the relationship between Christianity and Greco-Roman civilization, above all, that civilization's characteristic patterns of philosophical thought... The field of investigation [is] the neo-Calvinist current within Dutch protestantism and the elaboration in the 1920s and 1930s of 'Calvinistic' philosophy as one of its most distinctive effects... this 'parish tale' has more to recommend it than might appear at first blush. For there is a good argument to be made why such a thoroughly local study can benefit a much broader segment of contemporary Protestantism.

Download or read book Relationality and the Concept of God written by Henry Jansen and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1995 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical theism, the dominant tradition in Christian theology, has stressed the metaphysical concept of God, i.e., God's ontological transcendence and independence from the world. In this century, however, this concept of God has increasingly met with criticism. On the basis of the Bible and new philosophical considerations, it is argued that a relational concept of God better answers the fundamental concerns of the Christian faith. In this book the author investigates the questions of whether one can conceive of God apart from the metaphysical attributes and whether reflection on the biblical depiction of God leads necessarily to a relational concept of God. The author explores the questions by examining the relational concepts of God found in two contemporary German theologians, Jurgen Moltmann and Wolfhart Pannenberg, and uses the divine attribute of immutability as a focus for the discussion. He argues that the relational concept of God presupposes another metaphysical conception of God, which raises problems as serious as those in classical theism, and that the Bible itself, because of its nature as a narrative text, is ambiguous in many respects as far as God is concerned. A truly Christian doctrine of God must take both the metaphysical and relational aspects of God into account."
