Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

The medieval philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus (1266-1308) was one of the great thinkers of Western intellectual culture exerting a considerable influence over many centuries. He had a genius for original and subtle philosophical analysis with the motive behind his philosophical method being his faith. His texts are famous not only for their complexity but also for their brilliance their systematic precision and the profound faith revealed. The texts presented in this new commentary show that Scotus' thought is not moved by a love for the abstract or technical but that a high level of abstraction and technicality was needed for his precise conceptual analysis of Christian faith. Presenting a selection of nine fundamental theological texts of Duns Scotus some translated into English for the first time this book provides detailed commentary on each text to reveal Scotus' conception of divine goodness and the nature of the human response to that goodness. Following an introduction which includes an overview of Scotus' life and works the editors highlight Scotus' theological insights many of which are explored here for the first time and shed new light on topics which were and still are hotly discussed. Scotus is seen to be the first theologian in the history of Christian thought who succeeds in developing a consistent conceptual framework for the conviction that both God and human beings are essentially free. Offering unique insights into Scotus' theological writings and faith and a particular contribution to contemporary debate on Scotus' ethics this book contributes to a clearer understanding of the whole of Scotus' thought. | Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

Divine Mania Alteration of Consciousness in Ancient Greece

Divine Mania Alteration of Consciousness in Ancient Greece

‘Our greatest blessings come to us by way of mania provided it is given us by divine gift ’ – says Socrates in Plato’s Phaedrus. Certain forms of alteration of consciousness considered to be inspired by supernatural forces were actively sought in ancient Greece. Divine mania comprises a fascinating array of diverse experiences: numerous initiates underwent some kind of alteration of consciousness during mystery rites; sacred officials and inquirers attained revelations in major oracular centres; possession states were actively sought; finally some thinkers such as Pythagoras and Socrates probably practiced manipulation of consciousness. These experiences which could be voluntary or involuntary intense or mild were interpreted as an invasive divine power within one’s mind or illumination granted by a super-human being. Greece was unique in its attitude to alteration of consciousness. From the perspective of individual and public freedom the prominent position of the divine mania in Greek society reflects its acceptance of the inborn human proclivity to experience alteration of consciousness interpreted in positive terms as god-sent. These mental states were treated with cautious respect and in contrast to the majority of complex societies ancient and modern were never suppressed or pushed to the cultural and social periphery. | Divine Mania Alteration of Consciousness in Ancient Greece

The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

Demonstrating the pervasive presence of God in modern Hebrew literature this book explores the qualities that twentieth-century Hebrew writers attributed to the divine and examines their functions against the simplistic dichotomy between religious and secular literature. The volume follows both chronological and thematic paths offering a panoramic and multilayered analysis of the various strategies in which modern Hebrew writers from the turn of the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century pursued in their attempt to represent the divine in the face of metaphysical theological and representational challenges. Modern Hebrew literature emerged during the nineteenth century as part of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) movement which attempted to break from the traditional modes of Jewish intellectual and social life. The Hebrew literature that arose in this period embraced the rebellious nature of the Haskalah and is commonly characterized as secular in nature defying Orthodoxy and rejecting God. Nevertheless this volume shows that modern Hebrew literature relied on traditional narratological and poetic norms in its attempt to represent God. Despite its self-declared secularity it engaged deeply with traditional problems such as the nature of God divine presence and theodicy. Examining these radical changes this volume is a key text for scholars and students of modern Hebrew literature Jewish studies and the intersection of religion and literature. | The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

Eros Crucified Death Desire and the Divine in Psychoanalysis and Philosophy of Religion

Eros Crucified Death Desire and the Divine in Psychoanalysis and Philosophy of Religion

Bringing contemporary philosophers theologians and psychoanalysts into dialogue with works of art and literature this work provides a fresh perspective on how humans can make sense of suffering and finitude and how our existence as sexual beings shapes our relations to one another and the divine. It attempts to establish a connection between carnal bodily love and humanity’s relation to the divine. Relying on the works of philosophers such as Manoussakis Kearney and Marion and psychoanalysts such as Freud and Lacan this book provides a possible answer to these fundamental questions and fosters further dialogue between thinkers and scholars of these different fields. The author analyzes why human sexuality implies both perversion and perfection and why it brings together humanity’s baseness and beatitude. Through it the author taps once more into the dark mystery of Eros and Thanatos who to paraphrase Dostoevsky forever struggle with God on the battlefield of the human heart. This book is written primarily for scholars interested in the fields of philosophical psychology existential philosophy and philosophy of religion | Eros Crucified Death Desire and the Divine in Psychoanalysis and Philosophy of Religion

A Semiotics of Multimodality and Signification in the Divine Comedy

A Semiotics of Multimodality and Signification in the Divine Comedy

A new critical method for the Divine Comedy which focuses not only on language-as-writing but also and equally on other discursive modes that the Divine Comedy authorizes. Multimodality was already present in Dante’s time and the reception of the Divine Comedy took place multimodally. Thus a theoretical study of multimodality carried out under the semiotic lens sheds light on how and why a mode is more effective than another and/or how they may combine in producing signification and new ontologies warranted by Dante’s text. Also we do not yet have a critical theory that allows us to understand the function of multimodality for the creation of new forms of signification and of clarifying the ontological boundaries set forth by different modalities. It is a new and original study which contributes to the advancement of Dante Studies Literary Criticism (with a focus on literary semiotics) Multimedia/Multiliteracy philosophy of language communication and education.

Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

This book expands the current axiology of theism literature by assessing the axiological status of alternative conceptions of God and the divine. To date most of the literature on the axiology of theism focuses almost exclusively on the axiological status of theism and atheism. Specifically it focuses almost entirely on monotheism typically Judeo-Christian conceptions of God and atheism usually construed as ontological naturalism. This volume features essays from prominent philosophers of religion ethicists and metaphysicians addressing the value impact of alternative views such as ultimism polytheism pantheism panentheism and idealism. Additionally it reflects a wider trend in analytic philosophy of religion to broaden its scope beyond the Judeo-Christian tradition. Value Beyond Monotheism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in the philosophy of religion ethics and metaphysics. | Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

Radical Orthodoxy in a Pluralistic World Desire Beauty and the Divine

Radical Orthodoxy in a Pluralistic World Desire Beauty and the Divine

Radical Orthodoxy remains an important movement within Christian theology but does it relate effectively with an increasingly pluralist and secular Western society? Can it authentically communicate the beauty and desire of the divine to such a diverse collection of theological accounts of meaning? This book re-assesses the viability of the social model given by John Milbank before attempting an out-narration of this vision with a more convincing account of the link between the example of the Trinitarian divine and the created world. It also touches on areas such as interreligious dialogue particularly between Christianity and Islam as well as social issues such as marginalisation integration and community relations in order to chart a practical way forward for the living of a Christian life within contemporary plurality. This is a vital resource for any Theology academic with an interest in Radical Orthodoxy and conservative post-modern Christian theology. It will also appeal to scholars involved in Islamic Studies and studying interreligious dialogues. | Radical Orthodoxy in a Pluralistic World Desire Beauty and the Divine

Bhakti and Embodiment Fashioning Divine Bodies and Devotional Bodies in Krsna Bhakti

Bhakti and Embodiment Fashioning Divine Bodies and Devotional Bodies in Krsna Bhakti

The historical shift from Vedic traditions to post-Vedic bhakti (devotional) traditions is accompanied by a shift from abstract translocal notions of divinity to particularized localized notions of divinity and a corresponding shift from aniconic to iconic traditions and from temporary sacrificial arenas to established temple sites. In Bhakti and Embodiment Barbara Holdrege argues that the various transformations that characterize this historical shift are a direct consequence of newly emerging discourses of the body in bhakti traditions in which constructions of divine embodiment proliferate celebrating the notion that a deity while remaining translocal can appear in manifold corporeal forms in different times and different localities on different planes of existence. Holdrege suggests that an exploration of the connections between bhakti and embodiment is critical not only to illuminating the distinctive transformations that characterize the emergence of bhakti traditions but also to understanding the myriad forms that bhakti has historically assumed up to the present time. This study is concerned more specifically with the multileveled models of embodiment and systems of bodily practices through which divine bodies and devotional bodies are fashioned in Krsna bhakti traditions and focuses in particular on two case studies: the Bhagavata Purana the consummate textual monument to Vaisnava bhakti which expresses a distinctive form of passionate and ecstatic bhakti that is distinguished by its embodied nature; and the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition an important bhakti tradition inspired by the Bengali leader Caitanya in the sixteenth century which articulates a robust discourse of embodiment pertaining to the divine bodies of Krsna and the devotional bodies of Krsna bhaktas that is grounded in the canonical authority of the Bhagavata Purana. | Bhakti and Embodiment Fashioning Divine Bodies and Devotional Bodies in Krsna Bhakti

Al-Ghazali and the Divine

Al-Ghazali and the Divine

This book examines the philosophy of al-Ghazali analysing his conception of God within Islamic theology. Seeking to contribute to the greater understanding of Muslim thought it analyses his ‘orthodox’ theory based on the notion that the spiritual struggle (jihad) and philosophical enquiry are informed by the possession of firm science (‘ilm). Exploring a wide range of Arab texts and Arab primary literature this book therefore examines a crucial period of Medieval Islamic history whilst emphasizing the multifarious and by no means monolithic components of the Muslim outlook. In seeking to understand Islamic religion as a creative and progressive heritage it also demonstrates the moderate and equilibrate character of mainstream Islam and ultimately argues that al-Ghazali’s thought is the best expression of Islamic intellectuality and spirituality. Taking a theoretical approach this book will be useful to students and scholars of Islamic philosophy theology and history. | Al-Ghazali and the Divine

Love Justice and Autonomy Philosophical Perspectives

Love Justice and Autonomy Philosophical Perspectives

Philosophers have long been interested in love and its general role in morality. This volume focuses on and explores the complex relation between love and justice as it appears within loving relationships between lovers and their wider social context and the broader political realm. Special attention is paid to the ensuing challenge of understanding and respecting the lovers’ personal autonomy in all three contexts. Accordingly the essays in this volume are divided into three thematic sections. Section I aims at shedding further light on conceptual and practical issues concerning the compatibility or incompatibility of love and justice within relationships of love. For example are loving relations inherently unjust? Might love require justice? Or do love and justice belong to distinct moral domains? The essays in Section II consider the relation between the lovers on the one hand and their broader societal environment on the other. Specifically how exactly are love and impartiality related? Are they compatible or not? Is it unjust to favor one’s beloved? Finally Section III looks at the political dimensions of love and justice. How for instance do various accounts of love inform how we are to relate to our fellow citizens? If love is taken to play an important role in fostering or hindering the development of personal autonomy what are the political implications that need to be addressed and how? In addressing these questions this book engenders a better understanding both of conceptual and practical issues regarding the relation between love justice and autonomy as well as their broader societal and political implications. It will be of interest to advanced students and scholars working on the philosophy of love from ethical political and psychological angles. | Love Justice and Autonomy Philosophical Perspectives

Philosophy of Sex and Love An Opinionated Introduction

Writing for non-specialists and students as well as for fellow philosophers this book explores some basic issues surrounding sex and love in today's world among them consent objectification non-monogamy racial stereotyping and the need to reconcile contemporary expectations about gender equality with our beliefs about how love works.

A Re-Visioning of Love Dark Feminine Rising

A Re-Visioning of Love Dark Feminine Rising

In A Re-Visioning of Love: Dark Feminine Rising Ana Mozol parts the illusory veils of persona as she explores the reality of feminine experiences relating to love trauma and sexuality in contemporary Western society. Mozol takes us on a personal journey through the three levels of experience delving into the underworld and the trauma of rape the middle world and the illusions of romantic love and the upper world and the masculine spiritual ideals that fracture the feminine soul. In this multidisciplinary examination of the feminine Mozol seeks to understand violence against women intrapsychically interpersonally and within the field of depth psychology. The book begins with Mozol’s own experiences with violence and her exploration of the demon lover complex and the stages of breaking this complex after trauma. Combining personal testimony theoretical reflections historical analysis and 20 years of clinical experience Mozol uses a heuristic approach to explore personal stories clinical material dreams and depth analysis as they connect to the female individuation process. We follow Mozol’s journey through the middle world and the illusions of romantic love into the upper world and the complexity of Oscar Wilde’s feminine character Salomé who represents the rising dark feminine energy that must be reckoned with for the possibility of love to exist. Accessible yet powerful Mozol uses her personal story to place the oppression of women within the Jungian context of individuation. A Re-Visioning of Love: Dark Feminine Rising will be key reading for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies psychotherapy trauma studies gender studies women’s studies and criminology. It will also be an indispensable resource for Jungian psychotherapists and analytical psychologists in practice and in training.

Christianity Ethics and the Law The Concept of Love in Christian Legal Thought

Christianity Ethics and the Law The Concept of Love in Christian Legal Thought

This book examines how Christian love can inform legal thought. The work introduces love as a way to advance the emergent conversation between constructive theology and jurisprudence that will also inform conversations in philosophy and political theory. Love is the central category for Christian ethical understanding. Yet the growing field of law and religion and relatedly law and theology rarely addresses how love can shape our understanding of law. This reflects in part a common assumption that law and love stand in necessary tension. Love applies to the private and the personal. Law by contrast applies to the public and the political realms governed by power. It is thus a mistake to envisage love as having anything but a negative relationship to law. This conclusion continues to govern Christian understandings of the meaning and vocation of law. The animating idea of this volume is that the concept of love can and should inform Christian legal thought. The project approaches this task from the perspective of both historical and constructive theology. Various contributions examine how such thinkers as Augustine Aquinas and Calvin utilised love in their legal thought. These essays highlight often neglected aspects of the Christian tradition. Other contributions examine Christian love in light of contemporary legal topics including civility forgiveness and secularism. Love the book proposes not only matters for law but can transform the terms on which Christians understand and engage it. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of legal theory; law and religion; law and philosophy; legal history; theology and religious studies; and political theory. | Christianity Ethics and the Law The Concept of Love in Christian Legal Thought

Fraternal Relations in Monasteries The Laboratory of Love

Fraternal Relations in Monasteries The Laboratory of Love

This is a book about the tensions between Christian ideals of love and the concrete realities of everyday monastic life. Based on a study of Cistercian monasteries in France it develops a novel conceptualization of fraternal relations and addresses how monks and nuns strive to accomplish such relationships within their communities. By focusing on the main interaction contexts of monasteries as a form of voluntary total institution the book shows how attempts to generate collective solidarity relate to other members as equals and avoid preferential relations conflict with practices of everyday life. Although fraternal ideals are similar for monks and nuns the analysis reveals significant gender differences regarding the legitimacy of different forms of interaction and relationships as well as how to control them. The book appeals to readers with an interest in total institutions sociology of religion sociology of friendship sociology of intimacy and also to scholars with an interest in theology of love and practical theology. | Fraternal Relations in Monasteries The Laboratory of Love
