Faith, Hope, and Love
The Theological Virtues and Their Opposites
Häftad, Engelska, 2023
1 181 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
These essays consider the three traditional theological virtues—faith, hope, and love—alongside their opposites—doubt, despair, and hate, from a scholarly perspective. The volume includes contributions not just from philosophers of religion, but also from psychologists, sociologists, and film and literature scholars, to paint a complex and nuanced picture of these virtues, both of how we might understand them, and how we can hope to embody them ourselves. While these virtues make up a core part of the Christian tradition, the chapters here go far and wide in search of different cultural conceptions of these universal human concerns. Inquiries are made into these virtues within Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, and Islamic thought, alongside philosophers including Aristotle, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Levinas, and Murdoch. The resulting tapestry is often beautiful, sometimes horrific, but always thoroughly human. This text appeals to students and researchers working in these fields.

Finitude, Illusion, and Sanity
A Pragmatic Naturalist Perspective on Transcendence and the Transcendental
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 426 kr
Kommande
This monograph investigates, from a distinctive philosophical perspective informed by pragmatism, the relation between the transcendental and the transcendent. It not only develops a viable form of pragmatic transcendental naturalism (which the author has defended in earlier works) but examines the intertwining themes of sanity and illusion, arising through critical considerations of approaches to transcendence that fail to take seriously human finitude. Issues discussed range from those found in metaphysics and epistemology to those in ethics and philosophy of religion. They are all intimately related to each other by offering variations of aspirations to reach toward transcendence – and, in many cases, of the illusoriness of those aspirations. This illusoriness is something that requires thoroughgoing pragmatic and transcendental critique, combining argumentation strategies drawn from philosophers as different as Kant, Wittgenstein, and William James. This critique leads, among other things, to a radical rearticulation of how philosophy of religion as a sub-discipline of philosophy ought to be practiced. This text appeals to researchers and graduate students working in these fields.

The Beauty of God and Man in German Aesthetics of Painting and Sculpture (1754-1828)
Inbunden, Engelska, 2015

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
One accusation directed at 18th century aesthetics has been that it realised into “Art” what had previously been a living, rich tissue of meaning: this work shows how Figurative Theo humanism's attention to aesthetic values was never detached from deeper theological and humanistic considerations.

All Too Human
Laughter, Humor, and Comedy in Nineteenth-Century Philosophy
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book offers an analysis of humor, comedy, and laughter as philosophical topics in the 19th Century. It traces the introduction of humor as a new aesthetic category inspired by Laurence Sterne’s "Tristram Shandy" and shows Sterne’s deep influence on German aesthetic theorists of this period. Through differentiating humor from comedy, the book suggests important distinctions within the aesthetic philosophies of G.W.F. Hegel, Karl Solger, and Jean Paul Richter. The book links Kant’s underdeveloped incongruity theory of laughter to Schopenhauer’s more complete account and identifies humor’s place in the pessimistic philosophy of Julius Bahnsen. It considers how caricature functioned at the intersection of politics, aesthetics, and ethics in Karl Rosenkranz’s work, and how Kierkegaard and Nietzsche made humor central not only to their philosophical content but also to its style. The book concludes with an explication of French philosopher Henri Bergson’s claim that laughter is a response to mechanical inelasticity.

This notable collection provides an interdisciplinary platform for prominent thinkers who have all made significant recent contributions to exploring the nexus of philosophy and narrative. It includes the latest assessments of several key positions in the current philosophical debate. These perspectives underpin a range of thematic strands exploring the influence of narrative on notions of selfhood, identity, temporal experience, and the emotions, among others. Drawing from the humanities, literature, history and religious studies, as well as philosophy, the volume opens with papers on narrative intelligence and the relationship between narrative and agency. It features special sections of in-depth commentary on a range of topics. How, for example, do narrative and philosophical biography interact? Do celebrated biographical and autobiographical accounts of the lives of philosophers contribute to our understanding of their work? This new volume has a substantive remit that incorporatesthe intercultural religious view of philosophy’s links to narrative together with its many secular aspects. A valuable new resource for more advanced scholars in all its constituent disciplines, it represents a significant addition to the literature of this richly productive area of research.

Politics, Religion and Political Theology
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This new volume gives discursive shape to several key facets of the relationship among politics, theology and religious thought. Powerfully relevant to a wealth of further academic disciplines including history, law and the humanities, it sharpens the contours of our understanding in a live and evolving field. It charts the mechanisms by which, contrary to the avowed secularism of many of today’s polities, theology and religion have often, and sometimes profoundly, shaped political discourse. By augmenting this broader analysis with a selection of authoritative papers focusing on the prominent sub-field of political theology, the anthology offsets a startling academic lacuna. Alongside focused analysis of subjects such as conscience, secularism and religious tolerance, the discussion of political theology examines the tradition’s critical moments, including developments during the post-World War I Weimar republic in Germany and the epistemological imprint the theory has left behindin works by political thinkers influenced by the three major monotheistic traditions.
