This book was released on 2007-08-23 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcendental phenomenology presumed to have overcome the classic mind-body dichotomy in terms of consciousness.

The present collection of studies addresses this crucial question challenging such "naturalizing" reductionism from multiple angles.
Download or read book Thomas Merton en dialogue avec les religions d Asie written by Agnès Gros and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le moine trappiste franco-américain Thomas Merton (1915-1968) fut l’un des pionniers du dialogue entre christianisme et religions asiatiques. Cet ouvrage présente son parcours, culminant dans son voyage en Asie, ses échanges avec des spirituels de diverses traditions qui ont influencé et enrichi sa vie spirituelle. Face à l’expérience des Pères du désert et des mystiques chrétiens, sa découverte du bouddhisme zen et tibétain, du taoïsme, et dans une moindre mesure de l’hindouisme, ont transformé sa conception de l’être humain et de la vie intérieure. L’autrice détaille ensuite la contribution de Thomas Merton à la théologie chrétienne des religions et le présente comme un pratiquant de la théologie comparative. Des thèmes tels que la prière face à la méditation, la non-dualité, l’ouverture sur d’autres modes de relation au Divin, l’élaboration d’un vocabulaire nouveau, la notion d’intégration finale permettent de s’appuyer sur cette pensée foisonnante qui peut contribuer à enrichir la théologie chrétienne. Les écrits de Thomas Merton sont une ressource précieuse pour entrer en dialogue avec les chercheurs d’Absolu qui interrogent aujourd’hui l’Église et le langage chrétien.

Download or read book The Bloomsbury Handbook to Literature and Psychoanalysis written by Jeremy Tambling and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing the most comprehensive examination of the two-way traffic between literature and psychoanalysis to date, this handbook looks at how each defines the other as well as addressing the key thinkers in psychoanalytic theory (Freud, Klein, Lacan, and the schools of thought each of these has generated). It examines the debts that these psychoanalytic traditions have to literature, and offers plentiful case-studies of literature's influence from psychoanalysis. Engaging with critical issues such as madness, memory, and colonialism, with reference to texts from authors as diverse as Shakespeare, Goethe, and Virginia Woolf, this collection is admirably broad in its scope and wide-ranging in its geographical coverage. It thinks about the impact of psychoanalysis in a wide variety of literatures as well as in film, and critical and cultural theory.

Download or read book Par Del le Mental written by Bernard De Montréal and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Par-delà le Mental introduit le lecteur à l'étude de la psychologie évolutionnaire. Bernard de Montréal entreprend d'explorer les implications du supramental, portant sur l'inexorable éveil de la conscience mentale et sur son déplacement de la primauté de l'intellect et de ses fonctions historiques, à titre de source principale d'intelligence et de savoir. Cette oeuvre fondamentale met en exergue les eff ets de la pollution de la pensée sur le mental et les dangers de la séduction psychique, telle qu'exercée pas les idéologies sectaires et l'occultisme. Sa redéfi nition du mental opère la transition psychique de l'involution à l'évolution, de l'intellect et du libre arbitre inconscients à la pensée créative réelle ; de la spiritualité naïve et de la croyance à la conscience mentale, et de l'âme à l'esprit.

Download or read book T T Clark Handbook of Edward Schillebeeckx written by Stephan van Erp and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by leading experts on both the thought of Edward Schillebeeckx and modern theology, this handbook offers the first comprehensive study of the historical, philosophical, political and theological aspects of Schillebeeckx's work. As one of the most influential Catholic theologians of the twentieth century, he played a key role in the preparations for the theological revolution of the Second Vatican Council and the debates of the post-conciliar era. His engagement with critical theory, hermeneutics, and biblical scholarship culminated in his groundbreaking Christological trilogy, which marked Schillebeeckx as one of the most significant and innovative thinkers of his time. By building an overview of recent research into Schillebeeckx's writing, the contributors shed new light on his influence and ongoing relevance in contemporary theology. Beginning with the roots of Schillebeeckx's views on metaphysics, spirituality and faith, the essays then move to his work during and after the Second Vatican Council, and then to his engagement with new directions in philosophy and his renewal of classical topics such as creation, theological and soteriological anthropology, and eschatology. Culminating with an analysis of theology and culture, this handbook thoroughly explores the implications of Schillebeeckx's theology for a contemporary readership.
Download or read book Models of the Self written by Shaun Gallagher and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 913 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long history of inquiry about human nature and the self stretches from the ancient tradition of Socratic self-knowledge in the context of ethical life to contemporary discussions of brain function in cognitive science. It begins with a conflict among the ancients. On one view, which comes to be represented most clearly by Aristotle, the issue is settled in terms of a composite and very complex human nature. Who I am is closely tied to my embodied existence. The other view, found as early as the Pythagoreans, and developed in the writings of Plato, Augustine and Descartes, held that genuine humanness is not the result of an integration of 'lower' functions, but a purification of those functions in favour of a liberating spirituality. The animal elements are excluded from the human essence. The modern debate on the problem of the self, although owing much to the insights of Locke and Hume, can still be situated within the context of the two schools of ancient thought, and this has led many to despair over the lack of apparent progress in this problem. Today, of course, we often tend to look to science rather than philosophy to develop our understanding of a wide range of fundamental issues. To what extent is the problem of the self a scientific issue? Can insights from the study of neuropsychology and cognitive development in infancy provide a new perspective? Can the study of schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorders tell us anything about the nature of human self-consciousness? Many would answer yes to the above questions, but then is it not also the case that the study of exceptional 'self-actualised' human experience is equally relevant? And can the phenomenological tradition, dedicated to the systematic study of human experience, and contemporary analytic approaches in philosophy help us out of some of the impasses that have bedevilled the empiricist tradition? MODELS OF THE SELF includes all these perspectives in an attempt to cast light on one of the most intractable problems in science and the humanities.
