Book excerpt: Was ist Religion? greift den Titel eines Kolloquiums auf, welches Edmund Weber 2008 an der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main zur kritischen Betrachtung religionstheoretischer Ansätze sowie moderner und traditioneller Glaubenskulturen durchgeführt hat. Zu Ehren seines 70. Geburtstages setzen sich Schüler und Kollegen mit dieser Frage vor dem Hintergrund ihrer jeweiligen Forschungs- und Tätigkeitsbereiche auseinander. Die Beiträge beleuchten das Phänomen «Religion» von verschiedenen Seiten und zeigen so seine Vielfältigkeit auf: als zu vermittelndes Wissen, Ritual, religiöse Überzeugung, mystische Erfahrung, Kultur, existentielle Auseinandersetzung mit sich selbst und mit dem das eigene Selbst transzendierenden Mysterium. Viele Facetten müssen dabei auch unbeleuchtet bleiben. So zeigt sich die Unbestimmbarkeit des Religionsbegriffes, aber auch die Faszination, die von ihm ausgeht.
Download or read book Religion ohne Gott written by Ronald Dworkin and published by Suhrkamp Verlag. This book was released on 2014-05-19 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Zentrum wahrer Religiosität, so der bekennende Atheist Albert Einstein, sei die Ehrfurcht vor den Mysterien des Universums, »deren höchste Weisheit und strahlende Schönheit wir mit unseren matten Erkenntnisvermögen nur rudimentär begreifen können«. In diesem Sinne sei er, Einstein, ein tiefreligiöser Mensch. Aber was ist religiös an einer solchen Haltung, in der Gott offensichtlich keine Rolle spielt? Mit dieser Frage beschäftigte sich Ronald Dworkin in seinen Einstein-Vorlesungen, die er bis kurz vor seinem Tod zu diesem Buch ausgearbeitet hat. Religion, so seine Antwort, bezeichnet eine Sicht auf die Welt, die von einem tiefen Glauben an objektive Werte getragen wird – etwa daran, dass Geschöpfe eine Würde haben, dass ein Leben erfüllt oder verfehlt sein kann oder dass Schönheit, die uns den Atem raubt, sich nicht als pures Produkt unserer Sinnesorgane erklären lässt. Auch Theisten teilen diese Werte, meinen aber, sie seien gottgegeben. Für Dworkin verhält es sich genau umgekehrt: Die Idee eines Gottes rührt daher, dass es diese Werte wirklich gibt. Und an Gott (oder Götter) zu glauben ist eine Weise, dies auszudrücken, aber nicht die einzige. Von der Physik über die Politik bis hin zum Recht erkundet »Religion ohne Gott« den Perspektivwechsel, der mit einem solchen gottlosen Verständnis von Religion verbunden ist. Das Buch, das mit einer eindrucksvollen Reflexion über Tod und Unsterblichkeit schließt, ist das Vermächtnis eines bekennenden religiösen Atheisten. Es weitet den Blick für das, was wichtig ist.

Download or read book Was ist eine attische Trag die What is an Attic Tragedy written by Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff and published by Skenè. Texts and Studies. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848-1931) has been considered the highest authority in classical philology for generations. In 1889, he published what has been regarded as his most significant study, that is, a monumental commented edition of Euripides’s Herakles which includes a general introduction to Greek tragedy. A section of this introduction, entitled “Was ist eine attische Tragödie?”, is of particular worth in itself in that it provides a passionate and detailed account of the evolution of Greek tragedy, from its origins, much discussed among scholars, to its classic fifth-century BC form. In some respects, it also constitutes a mature response to Friedrich Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy whose publication, in 1872, had triggered a heated debate between the two still young scholars. This parallel edition presents the first English translation of a text that has served as a landmark for ancient drama scholars for decades and still offers many useful and relevant suggestions.

Download or read book Philosophy of Religion in Latin America and Europe written by Michael Schulz and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this publication suggests a double meaning: on the one hand, most of the contributions outline philosophies of religion relevant for Latin America, without, however, betraying an explicit Latin American perspective. Does not philosophical reason always articulate itself in the same way, whether in Berlin or Rio de Janeiro? On the other hand, the title refers to a specific form of philosophy that has developed regionally and bears explicit traces of its origins that differentiate it from philosophy in Europe. Does not philosophical reason always articulate itself in a specific cultural context? The charm of the book lies in the encounter of these two variants to think philosophically.

Download or read book The Pragmatics of Defining Religion written by Platvoet and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume promotes a pragmatic, anti-essentialist and anti-hegemonic approach to the problem of the definition of religion. It argues that definitions of religion are context-bound strategies for pursuing a variety of purposes, extra-academic as well as academic. Religions being immensely varied, complex and multi-functional phenomena, they need to be studied by several academic disciplines from many different perspectives. It is, therefore, legitimate and useful that many definitions of religions are developed. The volume has contributions from scholars in Philosophy of Religion, the Comparative Study of Religions, Anthropology of Religion, Sociology of Religion and Psychology of Religion. It has chapters on the polemics of defining religion in modern contexts, the history of the concept of religion, and the methodology of its definition; it includes several definition proposals.
Download or read book Thinking with Kierkegaard written by Arne Grøn and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-12-31 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arne Grøn’s reading of Søren Kierkegaard’s authorship revolves around existential challenges of human identity. The 35 essays that constitute this book are written over three decades and are characterized by combining careful attention to the augmentative detail of Kierkegaard’s text with a constant focus on issues in contemporary philosophy. Contrary to many approaches to Kierkegaard’s authorship, Grøn does not read Kierkegaard in opposition to Hegel. The work of the Danish thinker is read as a critical development of Hegelian phenomenology with particular attention to existential aspects of human experience. Anxiety and despair are the primary existential phenomena that Kierkegaard examines throughout his authorship, and Grøn uses these negative phenomena to argue for the basically ethical aim of Kierkegaard’s work. In Grøn’s reading, Kierkegaard conceives human selfhood not merely as relational, but also a process of becoming the self that one is through the otherness of self-experience, that is, the body, the world, other people, and God. This book should be of interest to philosophers, theologians, literary studies scholars, and anyone with an interest not only in Kierkegaard, but also in human identity.

Download or read book Religious Experience and Its Transformational Power written by Sabrina Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author approaches the phenomenon 'religious experience' through a qualitative study in which young, urban people from Europe and the USA are empirically examined. It becomes clear that individuals themselves are constructive agents of experience and theology. Religious experience manifests itself as a transformative perspective of hope in the lives of young people. The study ends with a plea for a theology from below, based on liberation theology and feminist theories, in which contextual perspectives are central to practical theological theorising.

Book excerpt: Die Religionsgeographie erforscht als Teilgebiet der Geographie die Einflüsse von Religionen und Religionsgemeinschaften auf den geographischen Raum. Wie die Religionswissenschaft festgestellt hat, sind Religionen auch von den sie umgebenden Räumen, von der natürlichen, kulturellen und sozialen Umwelt abhängig und werden von dieser geprägt. Dieser interdisziplinäre Ansatz, der gekennzeichnet ist durch gegenseitige Beeinflussungen von Religion und Raum, ist für die in diesem Buch untersuchten Bereiche maßgebend.

Download or read book Methods for Studying Video Games and Religion written by Vít Šisler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Game studies has been an understudied area within the emerging field of digital media and religion. Video games can reflect, reject, or reconfigure traditionally held religious ideas and often serve as sources for the production of religious practices and ideas. This collection of essays presents a broad range of influential methodological approaches that illuminate how and why video games shape the construction of religious beliefs and practices, and also situates such research within the wider discourse on how digital media intersect with the religious worlds of the 21st century. Each chapter discusses a particular method and its theoretical background, summarizes existing research, and provides a practical case study that demonstrates how the method specifically contributes to the wider study of video games and religion. Featuring contributions from leading and emerging scholars of religion and digital gaming, this book will be an invaluable resource for scholars in the areas of digital culture, new media, religious studies, and game studies across a wide range of disciplines.
Download or read book Was ist Wahrheit anderes als ein Leben f r eine Idee written by Hermann Deuser and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existenzdenken und Pragmatismus bezeichnen zwei Orientierungszentren der Philosophie seit dem 19. Jahrhundert, deren Differenz und Zusammenhang erst heute wirklich bewusst werden. Die Vorrangigkeit der Aufgabe des Existierens eines einzelnen Menschen und das naturwissenschaftlich-pragmatische Methodenbewusstsein haben ihre Gemeinsamkeit in der Entdeckung und Verteidigung der kreativen Lebens-, Entscheidungs- und Handlungssituation allen Verstehens. Hinzu kommt die parallel entwickelte Kritik idealistischer wie materialistischer Metaphysik der europäischen Denktradition, allerdings in der unübersehbaren Tendenz einer Philosophie des Geistes, die zu einer allgemeinen - und insofern in neuem Sinn durchaus metaphysischen - Begründung von Religionstheorie und Theologie in der Lage ist. Charles S. Peirce' kategoriale Semiotik liefert die zeitgemäßen Denkbedingungen, um sowohl der Eigenständigkeit der Religiosität wie ihrer wissenschaftlichen Darstellungsfähigkeit entsprechen zu können. Die hier vorgelegten Aufsätze aus dreißig Jahren sind einerseits auf bestimmte Phasen der Kierkegaard-Rezeption bezogen, andererseits auf Detailstudien zu systematisch-theologischen und religionsphilosophischen Texten, Werken, Methodenfragen, und auf Konfliktfelder in der gegenwärtigen Diskussion (darunter William James' Religionsauffassung, Paul Tillichs Symbolbegriff, Kierkegaards Christologie, Vergleichspunkte zu Schleiermacher, Thomas Manns Mythosbegriff, Semiotik, Trinität, Kontingenz und Evolution). Im Ganzen entsteht das Bild eines kreativen Einflussraumes existentieller und wissenschaftlicher Wahrheit, in der sich wirkliches Leben und religiöse Idealität des Geistes verbinden.
