Religion With/Out Religion: The Prayers and Tears of John D. Caputo
ISBN: 9780415266086 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Derridean deconstruction has been seen by its critics as nihilistic, realtivistic, subjectivistic and anti-religious. John D. Caputo's The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida has changed all that. The Derrida that emerges in Caputo's interpretations of his latest, sometimes autobiographical writings, is a man of faith bridging Jewish and Christian traditions. Deconstruction, in Caputo's reading, is astir with deep messianic, apocalyptic, and prophetic tones. Deconstruction, as it turns out, is a way of doing the thruth, of keeping things safe, of living in faith, impassioned by a desire for...

Foucault, Christianity and Interfaith Dialogue
ISBN: 9780415305686 / Angielski / Twarda / 251 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Foucault, Christianity and Interfaith Dialogue develops a new model for interfaith dialogue using the work of the French historian of ideas, Michel Foucault. The author argues that it is the injustice done to the 'Other' by Roman Catholic, Protestant and other centred and unitary models of religious pluralism that allows the introduction of Foucault's de-centring of transcendence and human reason as an alternative model for understanding religious diversity and the role it ought to play, in the constitution of the self and the making of society. This Foucaultian approach provides a...

Divinity and Maximal Greatness
ISBN: 9780415312882 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Divinity and Maximal Greatness stands in the notable tradition of perfect-being theology. The book thoughtfully explicates the concept of divinity in terms of the notion of maximal greatness - a being is divine if and only if he is maximally great. Daniel Hill elucidates maximal greatness and the properties in which it consists: omnipotence, omniscience, perfect goodness, beauty, and sempiternity. He analyses each attribute, and argues that each is possibly exemplified. In particular, he provides new analyses of omnipotence and omniscience that avoid the philosophical pitfalls discussed in...
