Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of its career philosophy of religion has been a controversial dis cipline: it has usually ended up becoming a substitute for what it set out to explain. Born out of the religious scepticism of the late seventeenth century it remained for many years what it was to Hume and Lessing: an instrument for criticizing rather than for interpreting faith. Gradually the hostility subsided, but not the tendency to reduce. Nearly each one of the great names in this area represents a theory that goes "beyond" faith. Phenomenology changed that situation. Conceived for accurate under standing of acts and meanings rather than for the building of vast synthe ses, its method was more apt to yield understanding than criticism. Moreover, by distinguishing the ideal meanings from the psychic realities of the act, it chased its followers from the quagmire of psychic genesis, causal justification and rational "proof" of the religious object, and forced them to concentrate on the intentional terminus of the experience.

Download or read book Prometheus Rebound written by Joseph C. McLelland and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 1989-01-13 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern atheism is a further act in the ancient drama of Prometheus vs Zeus. This book argues that the antagonism is false, as proved by the "irony": in which atheism turns into antitheism, transferring divine qualities to Humanity. The drama is framed by the "classicla dilemma," a conflict of wills: Tyrant and Rebel. The Unbinding of Prometheus is traced through Western history, to the Enlightenment "death of God," both speculative (Hegel) and practical (Marx). Finally, four types of "idols" are examined, in which Prometheus is rebound: Freud's Oedipus, Nietzsche's Dionysus, Camus' Sisyphus and Sartre's Orestes. The revision of both theism and atheism demands re-casting Zeus and Prometheus, breaking the impasse of heteronomy/autonomy and omnipotence/free will. Only thus may we affirm Humanity without denying God.
Download or read book Grace and Human Freedom in the Theology of Henri Bouillard written by J. Eileen Scully and published by Academica Press,LLC. This book was released on 2007 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is a pioneering exploration of the theological category of human freedom as the animating centre of the thought of Henri Bouillard, SJ, a leader of the "Ressourcement" movement in French Roman Catholic theology in the middle of the 20th century. The work also serves as a comprehensive analysis of Bouillard's corpus of writings spanning the years 1940 to 1981. Bouillard's contribution to a much studied movement have been in the shadows of better known colleagues such as Henri de Lubac. Dr Scully's research helps to introduce an important theologian to the English-speaking world and to situate within the theological and ecclesial controversies prior to the Second Vatican Council the key issues, ideas and formulations that were to serve as the basis of Bouillard's theology of Human Freedom. Both de Lubac and Karl Rahner as well as Karl Barth recognized Bouillard's original contribution to the renewal of fundamental theology ans well as his vital reanimating of Thomism in our time. "A fine study...an important addition to any academic library or research collection of contemporary Theology." Professor Andrew Woznicki, SC, STD, University of San Francisco

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of three essays in fundamental theology--along with Religious Pluralism and Christian Truth (1996) and Conventional and Absolute Truth (2015)--which attempt to reassess the status of Christian doctrinal language within the contemporary "regime of truth." In light of Heidegger's "overcoming of metaphysics," it revisits the age-old tension between Athens and Jerusalem--between the metaphysical structures of the Greek mind and the texture of the biblical events of revelation and salvation. A deconstructive reading that traces this tension in classical Christian texts--continued in later studies, including Christianisme et philosophie chez Origene, Editions du Cerf, 2011--clears the ground for a step back to biblical realities as they are apprehended in contemporary consciousness.

Download or read book The Christian Roots of Individualism written by Maureen P. Heath and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern West has made the focus on individuality, individual freedom, and self-identity central to its self-definition, and these concepts have been crucially shaped by Christianity. This book surveys how the birth of the Christian worldview affected the evolution of individualism in Western culture as a cultural meme. Applying a biological metaphor and Richard Dawkins’ definition of a meme, this work argues the advent of individualism was not a sudden innovation of the Renaissance or the Enlightenment, but a long evolution with characteristic traits. This evolution can be mapped using profiles of individuals in different historical eras who contributed to the modern notion of individualism. Utilizing excerpts from original works from Augustine to Nietzsche, a compelling narrative arises from the slow but steady evolution of the modern self. The central argument is that Christianity, with its characteristic inwardness, was fundamental in the development of a sense of self as it affirmed the importance of the everyday man and everyday life.
