Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vivimos en un momento de triunfo del capitalismo. La "revolución de terciopelo" del Este parece corroborar que no hay otra alternativa. Es el único sistema capaz de ofrecer productividad y libertad, eficiencia y justicia distributiva. Las loas y los cantos son tan exultantes que terminan por no ver nada más que el sistema. Sin embargo, el sistema puede ser presa de enemigos "interiores" más sutiles. Y la sensibilidad neoconservadora, que es pro-capitalista pero lúcida, no desconoce las amenazas que pesan sobre el sistema ni quiere desconocerlas, aun cuando se oigan las voces de los coros ditirámbicos. Para el "Neoconservadurismo", el problema de la moderna sociedad capitalista es cultural o, mejor, espiritual. La pérdida del "vínculo trascendente" está en la raíz de la desorientación moral, de la pérdida de utopía y de solidaridad que se palpa en nuestra sociedad. El Neoconservadurismo es, pues, una tendencia socio-cultural de defesa del sistema capitalista democrático, efectuada con lucidez y riqueza de análisis, que otorga a la religión un puesto importante en el diagnóstico y en el tratamiento social. Con todo, en el núcleo de su propuesta hay un elemento especialmente peligroso y dañino para la fe cristiana: lo que podríamos denominar el peligro de idolatría del sistema. El presente cuaderno queire ser una síntesis asequible de un reciente estudio monográfico, más detenido y riguroso, del mismo autor: Capitalismo y religión. La religión política neoconservadora (Sal Terrae, Santander 1991).JOSE Ma MARDONES es profesor de Sociología en la Universidad del País Vasco y miembro de Instituto de Filosofía del CSIC (Madrid). Entre sus publicaciones se encuentran: Esperanza cristiana y utopías intrahistóricas (1983), Raíces sociales del ateísmo moderno (1985), Sociedad moderna y cristianismo (1985), Teoría crítica y razón comunicativa (1985), Postmodernidad y cristianismo (1988) y la mencionada Capitalismo y religión (1991).
Download or read book The Mystery and the World written by Maria Clara Bingemer and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Mystery and the World, Maria Clara Bingemer explores how the place of religion in society has dramatically shifted since the Enlightenment. The modern era is characterised by a major change in humanity's fundamental desires that means that reason has taken the place of faith. Human beings, in their ongoing search for a scientific understanding of the world, have drifted away from seeking any essence of transcendence in their lives. Bingemer examines this transition and how, especially inthe postmodern era, it has led to technology and superficial happiness becoming all-important as opposed to the more sacred sense of contentment that governed us for centuries prior to the Enlightenment. In her discussion, however, Bingemer demonstrates that we as humans have not lost our innate desire to believe in a higher power and that, even in our world of instant satisfaction, we still need to fill the void left by religion. Through well-researched analysis of the modern era and discussion of some of the mystics of more recent times, she reveals to readers how our religious belief, whilst changed, is not dead and is still an important aspect of our existence.

Download or read book The Sun at Midnight written by Bernardo Olivera and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sun at Midnight offers a splendid, easily accessible summary of mystical theology in the Cistercian school. Bernardo Olivera, a master of both the theology and the practice of the spiritual life, analyzes this tradition first in its rich human, biblical, and doctrinal connotations, and then according to its most typical expressions as they are lived among Cistercian mystics, with reference also to other Christian men and women. Olivera explores the rich testimony of the monks of the twelfth century as well as the lesser-known nuns and holy women of the thirteenth century. Throughout the book, we discover Olivera's fundamental thesis: Personal mystical experience is not only the key to an adequate renewal of monastic life today but also-and above all-the foundation, the originating point, of any and all religion or religious tradition. Mystical experience is, in particular, the origin of Christianity and its rich spiritual tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2022 Catholic Media Association honorable mention Pope Francis 2022 Catholic Media Association honorable mention in English translation edition One element of the church that Pope Francis was elected to lead in 2013 was an ideology that might be called the “American” model of Catholicism—the troubling result of efforts by intellectuals like Michael Novak, George Weigel, and Richard John Neuhaus to remake Catholicism into both a culture war colossus and a prop for ascendant capitalism. After laying the groundwork during the 1980s and armed with a selective and manipulative reading of Pope John Paul II’s 1991 encyclical Centesimus Annus, these neoconservative commentators established themselves as authoritative Catholic voices throughout the 1990s, viewing every question through a liberal-conservative ecclesial-political lens. The movement morphed further after the 9/11 terror attacks into a startling amalgamation of theocratic convictions, which led to the troubling theo-populism we see today. The election of the Latin American pope represented a mortal threat to all of this, and a poisonous backlash was inevitable, bringing us to the brink of a true “American schism.” This is the drama of today’s Catholic Church. In Catholic Discordance: Neoconservatism vs. the Field Hospital Church of Pope Francis, Massimo Borghesi—who masterfully unveiled the pope’s own intellectual development in his The Mind of Pope Francis—analyzes the origins of today’s Catholic neoconservative movement and its clash with the church that Francis understands as a “field hospital” for a fragmented world.

Download or read book Transforming Modernity written by Néstor García Canclini and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is popular culture merely a process of creating, marketing, and consuming a final product, or is it an expression of the artist's surroundings and an attempt to alter them? Noted Argentine/Mexican anthropologist Néstor García Canclini addresses these questions and more in Transforming Modernity, a translation of Las culturas populares en el capitalismo. Based on fieldwork among the Purépecha of Michoacán, Mexico, some of the most talented artisans of the New World, the book is not so much a work of ethnography as of philosophy—a cultural critique of modernism. García Canclini delineates three interpretations of popular culture: spontaneous creation, which posits that artistic expression is the realization of beauty and knowledge; "memory for sale," which holds that original products are created for sale in the imposed capitalist system; and the tourist outlook, whereby collectibles are created to justify development and to provide insight into what capitalism has achieved. Transforming Modernity argues strongly for popular culture as an instrument of understanding, reproducing, and transforming the social system in order to elaborate and construct class hegemony and to reflect the unequal appropriation and distribution of cultural capital. With its wide scope, this book should appeal to readers within and well beyond anthropology—those interested in cultural theory, social thought, and Mesoamerican culture.
Download or read book The Politics of Postmodernity written by James Good and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-23 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his study Modernity and the Holocaust, Zygmunt Bauman contrasts the hopes and expectations of the modernising world of the nineteenth century with the real outcomes of the twentieth century, where the very conditions of modernity have led to the mass destruction of humanity and of those early hopes for the betterment of humankind. This volume explores the possibilities left to those once modernising societies, not only in terms of the worlds they have constructed but also in discerning the novel conditions which the closure of modernity entails. That closure, in part the completion of industrialisation and the social order that went with it, and in part the dislocation of the kinds of social knowledge used to understand it, has raised profound and disturbing questions about the character of this brave new world and the ways in which its governance and the goal of the good society can be understood. This volume explores some of the current vicissitudes of modernity, especially in relation to the crises of the political, and the political consequences of new technologies.
Download or read book The Mind of Pope Francis written by Massimo Borghesi and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A commonly held impression is that Pope Francis is a compassionate shepherd and determined leader but that he lacks the intellectual depth of his recent predecessors. Massimo Borghesi’s The Mind of Pope Francis: Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s Intellectual Journey dismantles that image. Borghesi recounts and analyzes, for the first time, Bergoglio’s intellectual formation, exploring the philosophical, theological, and spiritual principles that support the profound vision at the heart of this pope’s teaching and ministry. Central to that vision is the church as a coincidentia oppositorum, holding together what might seem to be opposing and irreconcilable realities. Among his guiding lights have been the Jesuit saints, Ignatius and Peter Faber; philosophers Gaston Fessard, Romano Guardini, and Alberto Methol Ferrer; and theologians Henri de Lubac and Hans Urs von Balthasar. Recognizing how these various strands have come together to shape the mind and heart of Jorge Mario Bergoglio offers essential insights into who he is and the way he is leading the church. Notably, this groundbreaking book is informed by four interviews provided to the author, via audio recordings, by the pope himself on his own intellectual formation, major portions of which are published here for the first time.
