Theological Reflection and Education for Ministry The Search for Integration in Theology

Theological Reflection and Education for Ministry The Search for Integration in Theology

A major and continuing problem for theological education and the practice of Christian ministry is how to best achieve a genuine integration between theory and practice theology and experience. The key claim of this book is that theological reflection beginning with experience is a method of integration and that pastoral supervision is a vehicle for theological reflection. In establishing this claim John Paver demonstrates that the model and method have potential to be a catalyst for reform within theological colleges and seminaries. Three different theological reflection models are developed and critiqued in this book and their capacity to be developed in particular contexts is explored. This book does not stop at ministry cultural and personal integration but is bold enough to make recommendations for structural integration within the theological institution. | Theological Reflection and Education for Ministry The Search for Integration in Theology

Self-Reflection for the Opaque Mind An Essay in Neo-Sellarsian Philosophy

Self-Reflection for the Opaque Mind An Essay in Neo-Sellarsian Philosophy

This volume attempts to solve a grave problem about critical self-reflection. The worry is that we critical thinkers are all in epistemic bad faith in light of what psychology tells us. After all the research shows not merely that we are bad at detecting ego-threatening thoughts à la Freud. It also indicates that we are ignorant of even our ordinary thoughts—e. g. reasons for our moral judgments of others (Haidt 2001) and even mundane reasons for buying one pair of stockings over another! (Nisbett & Wilson 1977) However reflection on one’s thoughts requires knowing what those thoughts are in the first place. So if ignorance is the norm why attempt self-reflection? The activity would just display naivety about psychology. Yet while respecting all the data this book argues that remarkably we are sometimes infallible in our self-discerning judgments. Even so infallibility does not imply indubitability and there is no Cartesian ambition to provide a foundation for empirical knowledge. The point is rather to explain how self-reflection as a rational activity is possible. | Self-Reflection for the Opaque Mind An Essay in Neo-Sellarsian Philosophy

Renaissance Man

Renaissance Man

Considering such witnesses of the time as Shakespeare Dante Petrarch Michelangelo Machiavelli Montaigne More and Bacon Agnes Heller looks at both the concept and the image of a Renaissance man. The concept was generalised and accepted by all; its characteristic features were man as a dynamic being creating and re-creating himself throughout his life. The images of man however were very different having been formed through the ideas and imagination of artists politicians philosophers scientists and theologians and viewed from the different aspects of work love fate death friendship devotion and the concepts of space and time. Renaissance Man thus stood as both as a leading protagonist of his time one who led and formulated the substantial attitudes of his time and as one who stood as a witness on the sidelines of the discussion. This book first published in English in 1978 is based on the diverse but equally important sources of autobiographies works of art and literature and the writings of philosophers. Although she uses Florence as a starting point Agnes Heller points out that the Renaissance was a social and cultural phenomenon common to all of Western Europe; her Renaissance Man is thus a figure to be found throughout Europe.

Nursing Literature Reviews A Reflection

Nursing Literature Reviews A Reflection

Literature reviews are undertaken by students researchers clinicians and educationalists – that is almost all nurses. Despite much excellent work exploring the assumptions and practices that constitute searching for and reviewing literature has merit and prompting those who undertake these activities to think critically about what it is that they are doing should be encouraged. Widely adopted approaches to structuring reviews (the standard model) can detrimentally limit the scope or range of literature that is accessed and appraised. It is further proposed that a lack of professional ambition or confidence invests aspects of the way some nurses engage with the sources that are available to them. Across the book parochialism is challenged. The crucial roles that values and judgement play in reviews are highlighted. It is argued that humanities and arts texts deserve potentially a bigger or more assured place in reviews undertaken by nurses. Difficulties in appraising quantitative and qualitative research reports are identified and benefits linked with taking a contemplative line through the review process are considered. This book contributes to debates around evidence-based practice and literature reviews more generally. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in professional issues research and the philosophy and sociology of nursing. | Nursing Literature Reviews A Reflection
