Mit seiner Philosophie der Sprache hat der Frankfurter Philosoph Bruno Liebrucks (1911-1986) eine an Hegel orientierte, dennoch deutlich nonkonformistische Logik und Metaphysik geschaffen. Den Grund jeglicher Philosophie erkennt Liebrucks in "der Sprache" als logischer Struktur des In-der-Welt-Seins. Dieses Sprachverstandnis speist sich aus der neutestamentlichen Logos-Theologie und eroffnet eine originelle, ebenso erfahrungsbezogene wie spekulative Auseinandersetzung mit christlicher Tradition. Konsequenz ist eine im Kontext des Freiheitsthemas vollzogene Neubetrachtung des Gottesbegriffs in...

The Concept of Freedom in the Writings of St. Francis de Sales

Through the examination of the concept of freedom in the writings of St Francis de Sales the author concludes that, in contradistinction to a contemporary understanding of freedom perceived as self-determination, a Salesian understanding privileges freedom s relationship to the good . This situates St Francis de Sales in the classical Thomistic tradition of freedom s necessary relationship to the good, but involves a methodological shift as he employs the Renaissance starting point of the turn to the subject . This study demonstrates how St Francis arrives inductively at what St Thomas...

Nineteenth-century continental theology is usually associated with the classic liberal Protestantism of Schleiermacher and Ritschl. On the other side of the theological divide there was the Dutch Neo-Calvinist school, a sharp reaction to liberalism. Yet the theological realm of that era also included the Kohlbrugge school, which founded its theological method upon the -Older Testament- and re-read and applied the documents of the Reformation for its time. The most important representative of this school is Eduard Bohl (1836-1903), who advocated a return to Reformed doctrine and church order...

Person and Community: Selected Essays
ISBN: 9781433104633 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Human language is the only proper tool through which man s intelligence is capable to attain the truth of reality. In deciphering the truth of reality, however, the human intelligence can establish a twofold meaning of things, namely, meaning-content and meaning-value; the former concerning the objectivity of beings, the latter expressing the existential dimensions of human subjectivity.
In his philosophy of man and his axiology of human behavior, Karol Wojtyla tries to keep a balance between the objective and subjective truth of man conceived as a person. But, considering human nature as... Human language is the only proper tool through which man s intelligence is capable to attain the truth of reality. In deciphering the truth of reality...

For all our contemporary knowledge and ability, however wonderful and widely available, people around the world face a crisis of human identity that calls into question the meaning of existence and the basis of moral behaviour. Responding to these challenges, Joe Kapolyo recognizes both the authority of the Bible, which teaches that people are created in the image of God but also corrupted by rebellion and sin, and the relevance of distinctly African perspectives on what it means to be human. Although he reads these perspectives critically, they lead him to... Human beings are complex.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has 6 million members in the United States today (and 13 million worldwide).

Principalities and Powers: Revising John Howard Yoder's Sociological Theology
ISBN: 9780718893316 / Angielski / Miękka / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present book is an attempt to grapple with Yoder's critics in order to decide how to move forward with a revised "Yoderian" theology. Pitts suggests how that revision should be accomplished by first providing an overview of the current state of Yoder scholarship and this book's place within it; then proposing an argument that Yoder's theology can profitably read as a "sociological theology" that exhibits reductive tendencies, but which can be revised to be non-reductive; and finally offering an outline and justification of the proposed method of revision, which involves putting Yoder's...
