Religion Politics Europe

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bradley, James E. / Van Kley, Dale K., PUBLISHER: University of Notre Dame Press, Religion ong>andong> Politics in Enlightenment Europe, a collection of original essays from leading scholars, demonstrates that the collapse of the post-Reformation confessional state was more the result of religious dissent from within, much of it orthodox, than attacks of an anti-religious Enlightenment. In sharp contrast to the Reformation-era religious conflicts which tended to pit Protestant ong>andong> Catholic confessions ong>andong> states against each other, the eighteenth-century religious conflicts described in Religion ong>andong> Politics in Enlightenment Europe took place within the various confessional establishments ong>andong> states that founded ong>andong> maintained them, such as Russian Orthodoxy in the East ong>andong> the Anglican Establishment in Englong>andong> ong>andong> Irelong>andong>. In the course of its analysis, Religion ong>andong> Politics in Enlightenment Europe destroys the notion of any kind of privileged relationship ong>betweenong> "religion" ong>andong> political or social "reaction." This book reveals the religious roots of modern ideas of individual rights ong>andong> limitations on government, as well as the imperative of political order ong>andong> the need for social hierarchy. It also shows the impossibility of any purely secular treatment of eighteenth-century European political history or institutions. Based on fresh, primary research as well as a synthesis of secondary sources, Religion ong>andong> Politics in Enlightenment Europe turns the familiar eighteenth century of the textbooks upside down ong>andong> inside out, challenging the dominant narratives of secularization ong>andong> inevitable conclusion in the French Revolution.

Belief

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Vattimo, Gianni / D'Isanto, Luca / Webb, David, PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, In this highly personal book, one of Europe's foremost contemporary philosophers confronts the theme of ong>faithong> ong>andong> religion. He argues that there is a substantial link ong>betweenong> the history of Christian revelation ong>andong> the history of nihilism, in particular as the latter appears in the work of Nietzsche ong>andong> Heidegger, Vattimo's philosophical specialty. Tracing the relation ong>betweenong> his response to these two thinkers ong>andong> his own life as a devout Catholic, Vattimo shows how his interpretation of Heidegger's work ong>andong> his conceptions of "weak thought" ong>andong> "weak ontology" can be seen as closely linked to a rediscovery of Christianity. Vattimo speaks here in the first person--a risk that results in a disarmingly open exploration of the themes of charity, truth, dogmatism, morality, ong>andong> sin, viewed through the lens of his own life ong>andong> his own return to Christianity. While deeply critical of institutionalized religion ong>andong> the Church, Vattimo discovers in the Christian tradition a voice (not a distinct message) whose interpretation is still being played out around us. Shaped by his readings of Nietzsche ong>andong> Heidegger, Vattimo's decision to affirm his formation within the Christian tradition provides an original ong>andong> engaging contribution to the contemporary debate on religion. At the center of this book is the enigma of belief. Freed by modernity from its Platonic subordination to knowledge, belief is recovered as a crucial ong>andong> inevitable feature of our cultural ong>andong> personal lives. "Do you believe?" Vattimo is asked. "I believe so," he replies. Acquista Ora
