Book Die Krise der   ffentlichen Vernunft    ber Demokratie  Urteilskraft und Gott

Download or read book Die Krise der ffentlichen Vernunft ber Demokratie Urteilskraft und Gott written by Ingolf U. Dalferth and published by Evangelische Verlagsanstalt. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gefährdete Demokratie: die Krise der Urteilskraft und der Vernunft Internet und soziale Medien zersetzen die politische Öffentlichkeit. Gesinnung und Emotionen verdrängen gut durchdachte Argumente. Gleichheit, Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit werden zu populistischen Leerformeln. Die kritische Urteilskraft schwindet oder wird diffamiert. Zugleich verkümmert die Religion zur bloßen Moral-Ressource und Gott wird aus dem Diskurs verbannt. Mit seinem Debattenbuch thematisiert der Theologe und Religionsphilosoph Ingolf U. Dalferth, welchen Gefahren die Demokratie in den westlichen Gesellschaften ausgesetzt ist – und welche Lösungen christliche Ideen, Werte und Ideale jetzt bieten. - Gott und demokratische Grundwerte – Wege aus der Krise - Die Verantwortung des Menschen neu denken - Eine Analyse aus Sicht der Religionsphilosophie Eine demokratische Gesellschaft lebt vom Widerspruch – und vom Respekt! Dalferths differenzierte Analyse steht in einer radikal-demokratischen Klammer: der kritischen Zurückhaltung gegenüber dem Prinzipiellen und Dogmatischen. Demokratie lebt von Diskussionen und dem Recht, im Rahmen der Gesetze anders zu leben. Sie verpflichtet aber auch jeden zum Respekt gegenüber den anderen. Wer festlegen möchte, wie zu reden und zu leben ist oder welche Argumente öffentlich Gehör finden dürfen, versteht nicht, dass es ohne Freiheit weder Gleichheit noch Gerechtigkeit gibt. Und die Besinnung auf Gott ist kein Überbleibsel einer vordemokratischen Vergangenheit, sondern die permanente Erinnerung daran, was Freiheit, Gleichheit und Gerechtigkeit möglich machen!

Book Becoming Present

Download or read book Becoming Present written by Ingolf U. Dalferth and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safeguarding the distinction between God and world has always been a basic interest of negative theology. But sometimes it has overemphasized divine transcendence in a way that made it difficult to account for the sense of God's present activity and experienced actuality. Deconstructivist criticisms of the Western metaphysics of presence have made this even more difficult to conceive. On the other hand, there has been a widespread attempt in recent years to base all theology on (religious) experience; the Christian church celebrates God's presence in its central sacraments of baptism and Eucharist; and recent process thought has re-conceptualised God's presence in panentheistic terms. This is the background against which this book outlines a theology of the Christian sense of the presence of God. The first chapter traces the rise and fall of rational religion in Modernity and argues that we should replace philosophical theism not by a unspecified religious sense of the whole but by a specific sense of the presence of God. The second chapter analyses the notion of divine presence and outlines different ways of understanding the real presence of God. The third chapter discusses the problem of whether and how God's presence can be discerned - given the fact that there is no presence of God that is not tinged by God's absence. Chapter four distinguishes various modes of divine presence with their corresponding modes of (human) apprehension. Chapter five takes up the charge that presence is an impossibility in a critical discussion of the debate between Derrida and Marion about the (im)possibility of gift. Chapter six asks how God's presence is conceived and communicated, looking in particular to music as a means of representing and communicating the awareness of God's presence. The final chapter outlines how the sense of the presence of God can be presented and defended in a world of many religions and cultures with their often conflicting religious convictions and representations.

Book Crucified and Resurrected

Download or read book Crucified and Resurrected written by Ingolf U. Dalferth and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major work, now available in English, is considered by many to be one of the finest and most significant contributions to modern Christology. Preeminent scholar and theologian Ingolf Dalferth argues for a radical reorientation of Christology for historical, hermeneutical, and theological reasons. He defends an orthodox vision of Christology in the context of a dialogue with modernity, showing why the resurrection, not the incarnation, ought to be the central idea of Christological thinking. His proposal is both pneumatological and Trinitarian, and addresses themes such as soteriology, the doctrine of atonement, and preaching.

Book Transcendence and the Secular World

Download or read book Transcendence and the Secular World written by Ingolf U. Dalferth and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2018-07 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On theological grounds, Ingolf U. Dalferth argues the case for taking a critical stance towards the current leave-taking of secularization and the fashionable proclamation of a new post-secular religious epoch. Right from the start, the Christian faith has made a decisive contribution to the secularization of the world, the criticism of religion, religions and religiosity. Christian faith is concerned with God's presence in all areas of life, often beyond the usual religious forms and in distinction towards them. The orientation towards this ultimate presence and therefore towards antecedent transcendence in the immanence of a secular world leaves the alternative between religious and non-religious life behind. In this work, the author examines the new distinctions which this Christian life orientation demands.

Book Radical Theology

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ingolf U. Dalferth
  • Publisher : Fortress Press
  • Release : 2016-07-01
  • ISBN : 1506416845
  • Pages : 297 pages

Download or read book Radical Theology written by Ingolf U. Dalferth and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ingolf U. Dalferth develops a “radical theology” that unfolds the orienting strength of faith for human life from the event of God’s presence to every present. In a concise and clear manner, Dalferth outlines the theological and philosophical approaches to hermeneutics in the modern era, in order to promote a convincing and defensible theology for the twenty-first century, critically carrying on Martin Heidegger and Rudolf Bultmann, without forgetting Karl Barth. The result of his reconstruction is a “radical theology” that neither glorifies premodern theology in an antimodern attitude nor seeks a mystical deepening of the secular, but argues for a radical change in theological perspective of the possible. In doing so, theology unfolds “limit concepts” that restrict the claims of science and philosophy critically, and develops “ideas of orientation” that illumine the ways in which human life is understood and lived in radically new ways in faith. From here, Dalferth unfolds the reality of revelation and the Christian sense of an unconditional hope that fundamentally transcends all beliefs based on mundane realities and orients the world on something beyond its own temporal horizon—its loving Creator.

Book Aesthetic Autonomy

Download or read book Aesthetic Autonomy written by Barend van Heusden and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a selection of essays presented at the international conference on Cultural Crises in Art and Literature, held in Groningen in November 2002, in a special session on the question of the autonomy of the arts. Do we witness, in western culture, the end of the autonomy of the arts as it has been conceptualized and institutionalized since the eighteenth century? Indeed, developments of quite a different nature seem to have contributed to a blurring of boundaries between art and non-art, art and the market, art and politics or ethics, as well as between the arts themselves, and between 'high' and 'low' art. Although this volume does not pretend to map this complex process in its entirety - partly because it is impossible to step out of one's own history - it is meant as a contribution to the elucidation of the process itself, offering some challenging explanations as to the heat of the current debate.

Book Text as Contract

Download or read book Text as Contract written by Timothy J. Mehigan and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1988 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kleist's narratives convey a strong sense of structure, while describing the ubiquity of disorder in the imaginary world. A narrative paradigm, the contract, is advanced to analyse this interplay of pattern and disorder. The contract, it is argued, characterizes the relationships between the figures of the stories and stands for the broader concept of the written word as a guarantor of meaning - that is, as the medium between poet and reader. This study, then, must reflect on the possibility of legitimate communication - and of interpretation - in narrative.
