This article presents a constructive dialogue between contemporary theological phenomenology and systematic theology. It considers the writings of the French phenomenologist Emmanuel Falque by offering a precis of his unique approach to “crossing” the boundaries of theology and philosophy. This methodological innovation serves as an intervention into contemporary theological phenomenology, which allows him to propose an overlooked dimension of human corporeality, what he calls the spread-body (corps épandu). Within the latter is embedded a conception of bodily existence that escapes ratiocination and is comprised of chaotic forces, drives, desires, and animality. The article challenges not so much this philosophical description but rather suggests that Falque’s theological resolution to this subterranean dimension of corporeal life consists in a deus ex machina that re-orders these corporeal forces without remainder through participation in the eucharist. It argues that Falque’s notion of the spread body can be supplemented theologically by an account of ‘affectivity’ that is distinguished from auto-affection, as in the case of Michel Henry, and which also gleans from the field of affect theory. This supplementation is derived from current research in systematic theology, which looks at the doctrines of pneumatology and sanctification to offer a more plausible account of corporeality in light of the Christian experience of the affective body.
本文提出了当代神学现象学与系统神学之间的建设性对话。文章探讨了法国现象学家伊曼纽尔-法尔克的著作,概述了他 "跨越 "神学与哲学界限的独特方法。这种方法论上的创新是对当代神学现象学的一种介入,使他得以提出人类肉体的一个被忽视的维度,即他所说的 "扩散的肉体"(corps épandu)。后者蕴含着一种身体存在的概念,它摆脱了比率化,由混乱的力量、驱动力、欲望和灵性组成。这篇文章与其说是对这一哲学描述提出质疑,不如说是建议法尔克在神学上解决肉体生命的这一地下维度问题,即通过参与圣餐仪式,以神灵的力量对这些肉体力量进行无剩余的重新排序。本文认为,法尔克的传播身体概念可以通过 "情感性 "的论述在神学上加以补充,这种 "情感性 "有别于米歇尔-亨利(Michel Henry)的自动情感,也来自情感理论领域。这一补充源自当前的系统神学研究,该研究从气动学和成圣学说出发,根据基督徒对情感身体的体验,对肉体性做出了更合理的解释。

Today’s children are growing up and spending most of their free time with media, especially social networks, on which various lifestyles are imposed every day, including ideals of beauty that are often based on physical appearance and far from authentic images of the observed object. In this paper, it is shown how the topic of beauty is presented throughout the history of art, with a special focus on the presentation of beauty in theology. Additionally, the paper investigates how much the topic of beauty is treated within the Croatian formal education system, with a particular emphasis on the representation of beauty and to what extent children are prepared to critically evaluate the representation of beauty in different types of media, but also to reflect on the potential impact of such content on themselves. Research has shown that most such content is present in the subjects of Visual Culture, Visual Arts, Croatian Language and Informatics. The paper also presents such contents in the Catholic religious education curricula. In addition to imposed media ideals of beauty affecting childrens’ self-confidence, they are often the subject of peer violence, especially in the virtual world. Specifically, humiliation based on physical appearance is a common form of cyberbullying. To determine how physical appearance is used in such unacceptable behavior among children, all the posts that have arrived on UHO, the first online platform for the prevention of cyberbullying in Croatia, were analyzed. Research has shown that girls report such forms of abuse more often than boys, that cyberbullying based on appearance most often occurs inside closed groups or private messages rather than publicly on social networks, and that children rarely report to adults that they are the victims of such forms of violence.
今天的孩子们正在成长,他们的大部分空闲时间都花在了媒体上,尤其是社交网络上,每天都有各种各样的生活方式强加给他们,其中包括对美的理想,而这种理想往往是建立在外貌基础上的,与所观察对象的真实形象相去甚远。本文展示了美的主题在整个艺术史中是如何呈现的,并特别关注神学中对美的呈现。此外,本文还调查了克罗地亚正规教育系统对美的主题的处理程度,特别强调了美的表现形式,以及儿童在多大程度上准备好批判性地评估不同类型媒体中美的表现形式,同时反思这些内容对他们自身的潜在影响。研究表明,此类内容大多出现在视觉文化、视觉艺术、克罗地亚语和信息学科目中。本文还介绍了天主教宗教教育课程中的此类内容。除了媒体强加的美丽理想影响儿童的自信心外,他们还经常成为同伴暴力的对象,尤其是在虚拟世界中。具体来说,基于外貌的侮辱是一种常见的网络欺凌形式。为了确定外貌是如何被用于儿童中这种不可接受的行为的,我们对克罗地亚首个预防网络欺凌的在线平台 UHO 上的所有帖子进行了分析。研究表明,女孩比男孩更常报告此类形式的虐待,基于外貌的网络欺凌最常发生在封闭群组或私人信息中,而不是在社交网络上公开,而且儿童很少向成年人报告他们是此类形式暴力的受害者。

John Milton and the English Women Prophets 约翰-弥尔顿和英国女先知

The work of John Milton (both in poetry and prose) offered some striking theological and political innovations in the context of the seventeenth-century upheavals in England. This article aims to show that the work of the English women prophets active in England at the time offers a valid context in which to reassess and re-read Milton’s work. This observation has occasionally been made in relation to specific prophets, but it has not been pursued in any detail. This article examines the concept of “prophecy” itself as formulated by Milton, and establishes its connections to the activity of women prophets; it also explores its connotations in terms of gender and its consequent implications in terms of opening the public and religious space to the work of female authors. It subsequently examines the work of two specific women prophets (Mary Pope and Elizabeth Avery) alongside that of Milton during the years 1647–1649, as offering equally legitimate responses to the debate concerning monarchy at the time, and it ends by examining Milton’s final epic (Paradise Regain’d) as a poetic approach to the concept of female prophecy. The conclusion shows the renewed potential opened by this new research and considers its consequences for the seventeenth-century literary canon.
约翰-弥尔顿的作品(诗歌和散文)在十七世纪英国动荡的背景下提供了一些引人注目的神学和政治创新。本文旨在说明,当时活跃在英格兰的英国女先知们的作品为重新评估和解读弥尔顿的作品提供了一个有效的背景。这一观点偶尔会针对特定的先知提出,但尚未得到详细的探讨。本文研究了弥尔顿提出的 "预言 "概念本身,并确定了它与女先知活动的联系;还探讨了它在性别方面的内涵,以及它在为女作家的作品打开公共和宗教空间方面所产生的影响。随后,该书研究了 1647-1649 年间两位特定女性先知(玛丽-波普和伊丽莎白-艾弗里)的作品以及弥尔顿的作品,她们对当时有关君主制的争论做出了同样合理的回应,最后,该书研究了弥尔顿的最后一部史诗(《重获天堂》),将其作为女性预言概念的一种诗学方法。结论显示了这一新研究的新潜力,并考虑了其对十七世纪文学典籍的影响。

Theoretical and Epistemological Questions for the Study of Contemporary Spirituality in Catholic Italy on Nature, Well-Being, and Mystery 意大利天主教关于自然、福祉和奥秘的当代灵修研究的理论和认识论问题

In this article I present the main findings of an empirical study about contemporary spirituality in Italy begun in 2017 by reasoning about the analysis of twelve case studies which are particularly eloquent concerning the different spiritual worlds emerging in Catholic Italy. I argue that three main narratives—the spirituality of nature, wellbeing, and mystery—are useful to synthesize the heterogeneousness of groups, communities, festivals, and organizations engaged in the Italian “holistic milieu”. In order to address this reflection, firstly I will trace the international sociological debate that has accompanied the concept of contemporary spirituality and the relationship between spirituality and religion, a couple which I have named “frenemies”. Then, I will extend the analysis to the concept of the secular, examining the intertwining of the spiritual, religious, and secular spheres. After illustrating the landscape of contemporary spirituality in Catholic Italy more broadly, I shall focus on the case studies taken as examples of the spirituality of nature, the spirituality of health and wellbeing, and the spirituality of mystery. In the Discussion and Conclusion, I shall raise some fundamental questions that the study of contemporary spirituality poses for the sociology of religion with reference to secularisation, one of its most classic and yet contested paradigms. I shall claim that future research paths could further contribute to strengthening the idea, raised in this article, that secularisation can also be understood not only as an antithetical force to religion but as the process in Western history that has led to the emergence of a secular social space in dialogue with the religious sphere.
在这篇文章中,我介绍了 2017 年开始的一项关于意大利当代灵性的实证研究的主要发现,通过对十二个案例研究的分析进行推理,这些案例研究特别能说明意大利天主教中出现的不同灵性世界。我认为,三个主要叙事--自然灵性、福祉灵性和神秘灵性--有助于综合参与意大利 "整体环境 "的团体、社区、节日和组织的异质性。为了进行这一反思,首先,我将追溯伴随当代灵性概念以及灵性与宗教(我称之为 "冤家")之间关系的国际社会学辩论。然后,我将把分析延伸到世俗的概念,研究精神、宗教和世俗领域的交织。在更广泛地说明天主教意大利的当代灵修景观之后,我将重点关注作为自然灵修、健康与幸福灵修以及神秘灵修范例的案例研究。在 "讨论与结论 "部分,我将提出当代灵修研究为宗教社会学提出的一些基本问题,这些问题涉及世俗化问题,世俗化是宗教社会学最经典但也是最有争议的范式之一。我将声称,未来的研究路径可以进一步加强本文提出的观点,即世俗化不仅可以被理解为一种与宗教对立的力量,还可以被理解为西方历史上导致出现与宗教领域对话的世俗社会空间的过程。

Religious and Moral Attitudes of Catholics from Generation Z Z 世代天主教徒的宗教和道德态度

This paper discusses findings of studies concerning religious attitudes of Polish Catholics belonging to the so-called Generation Z, i.e., people born during the digital revolution. The authors present religious attitudes of Generation Z representatives against the background of other European states relating to religious practices and opinions concerning the acceptability of abortion, euthanasia, divorce, contraceptives and other conduct not consistent with the Catholic Church teachings. The findings prove that even though the Polish society, including those of Generation Z, is distinguishable from European countries with its high percentage of people engaging in religious practices, the observed trends and the dominance of attitudes contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church indicate the possibility of maintaining a downward trend in the number of Catholics in Poland.
本文讨论了有关波兰天主教徒宗教态度的研究结果,这些天主教徒属于所谓的 "Z世代",即在数字革命期间出生的人。作者以欧洲其他国家有关宗教习俗和对堕胎、安乐死、离婚、避孕及其他不符合天主教会教义的行为的可接受性的观点为背景,介绍了 Z 世代代表的宗教态度。研究结果证明,尽管波兰社会(包括 Z 世代)与欧洲国家不同,其参与宗教活动的人数比例较高,但观察到的趋势以及与天主教会教义相悖的态度占主导地位,表明波兰天主教徒人数有可能保持下降趋势。

Worlding with the Creal: Autonomous Intelligence and Philosophical Practice 与克里尔共处世界:自主智能与哲学实践
IF 0.8 3区 哲学 0 RELIGION Pub Date : 2023-12-22 DOI: 10.3390/rel15010026
Luis de Miranda
Philosophical practice is guided by an ideal of autonomous intelligence: to think for oneself. But is a fully autonomous form of intelligence possible? Autonomy in thinking may be thought to be relative or absolute. First, one may imagine an asymptotic social process of self-ruling; in this case, to become philosophically healthy would then mean to become more virtuous and more autonomous cognitively, relative to others or to a previous version of ourselves. But there seems to be a contradiction here, as autonomy seems to imply, by definition, completeness rather than comparison or relativity, the latter being seen as a form of dependence. Hence, a second stance, absolute rather than relative: the idea that some humans can achieve a perfect state of philosophical health, implying full autonomous intelligence. This hypothesis was historically thought to imply a state of autarkia, self-divinization, or autotheosis: being divine by one’s own effort. Many have forgotten that most ancient philosophers, chief among them Epicurus, Plato, and Aristotle, thought this likeness to a god (homoiosis theoi) to be the reward of theoria, a theoretical life. I argue that we can reconcile relative and absolute cognition by understanding autonomous intelligence to be a cosmotheosis: a becoming divine not as an act of singular separation, but by welcoming the multiversal reality that we already are, and partaking in the universal creative worlding process referred to here as “Creal”. In this sense, philosophical practice calls for a pantheistic form of religiosity; a shared cosmology that compossibilizes all intercreative entities.
哲学实践以自主智能的理想为指导:为自己思考。但是,完全自主的智慧形式可能吗?思维的自主性可以被认为是相对的,也可以被认为是绝对的。首先,我们可以想象一个渐进的自我统治的社会过程;在这种情况下,变得哲学上健康就意味着相对于他人或以前的我们,在认知上变得更加良善和更加自主。但这里似乎存在一个矛盾,因为根据定义,自主似乎意味着完整性,而不是比较或相对性,后者被视为一种依赖形式。因此,第二种立场是绝对的而非相对的:认为有些人可以达到哲学上的完美境界,这意味着完全自主的智慧。这一假说在历史上被认为意味着一种 "自我神化"(autarkia)、"自我神化"(self-divinization)或 "自我神化"(autotheosis)的状态:通过自己的努力成为神。许多人都忘记了,大多数古代哲学家,其中主要是伊壁鸠鲁、柏拉图和亚里士多德,都认为这种与神的相似(homoiosis theoi)是理论生命(theoria)的回报。我认为,通过将自主智慧理解为一种宇宙神学,我们可以调和相对认知与绝对认知:不是作为一种单一的分离行为,而是通过欢迎我们已经是的多元现实,并参与到这里被称为 "Creal "的普遍创造性世界化过程中,从而成为神。从这个意义上说,哲学实践要求一种泛神论形式的宗教性;一种包含所有创造性实体的共享宇宙论。

A Libertarian Anarchist Analysis of Norman Geisler’s Philosophy of Government 诺曼-盖斯勒政府哲学的自由主义无政府主义分析

There are numerous approaches and conclusions regarding church and state relations and how Christianity affects public policy. Yet the purpose of this study is to question some of the philosophical assumptions and biblical interpretations that Christians hold to which support the state as a morally legitimate authoritative institution in the first place. This article will argue that various presuppositions regarding the state’s moral legitimacy are untenable, if not self-refuting. The philosophical commitments of a form of Christian Conservatism exemplified by Norman L. Geisler will be analyzed and critiqued by the Christian Libertarian Anarchist school of thought, represented by Gerard Casey. Geisler’s views on first principles, God’s moral law, social contracts, consent, anarchy, the distinction between vices and crimes, preconditions for virtue, and the common good will be examined. Then, Geisler’s interpretation of classic biblical texts supporting the alleged moral legitimacy of the state will also be assessed. This article will contend that if one were to consistently apply some pertinent principles found in Geisler’s prolegomena to theology when reasoning from natural revelation and the relevant biblical data, one will find that the conclusions are more compatible with the political theology of Christian libertarian anarchism. Hence the one who questions how Christianity affects public policy should take into consideration the reasons to deny that divine revelation affirms the state as a morally legitimate authoritative institution. If this is the case, the question ought to be reframed to determine how Christianity affects public policy within a state that has no legitimate moral grounds for authority.
关于政教关系以及基督教如何影响公共政策,有许多方法和结论。然而,本研究的目的是质疑基督徒所坚持的一些哲学假设和圣经解释,这些假设和解释首先支持国家作为道德上合法的权威机构。本文将论证有关国家道德合法性的各种预设是站不住脚的,甚至是自相矛盾的。以诺曼-盖斯勒(Norman L. Geisler)为代表的基督教保守主义的哲学承诺将受到以杰勒德-凯西(Gerard Casey)为代表的基督教自由无政府主义学派的分析和批判。盖斯勒对第一原则、上帝的道德律、社会契约、同意、无政府状态、恶行与罪行的区别、美德的先决条件以及共同利益的看法将得到研究。然后,还将评估盖斯勒对《圣经》中支持所谓国家道德合法性的经典文本的解释。本文将论证,如果人们在从自然启示和《圣经》中的相关资料进行推理时,始终如一地运用盖斯勒的神学序言中的一些相关原则,就会发现其结论与基督教自由主义无政府主义的政治神学更为一致。因此,质疑基督教如何影响公共政策的人应该考虑否认神圣启示肯定国家是道德上合法的权威机构的理由。如果是这样的话,问题就应该被重新定义,以确定在一个没有合法的道德权威依据的国家中,基督教是如何影响公共政策的。

This article will contend that if one were to consistently apply some pertinent principles found in Geisler’s prolegomena to theology when reasoning from natural revelation and the relevant biblical data, one will find that the conclusions are more compatible with the political theology of Christian libertarian anarchism. Hence the one who questions how Christianity affects public policy should take into consideration the reasons to deny that divine revelation affirms the state as a morally legitimate authoritative institution. If this is the case, the question ought to be reframed to determine how Christianity affects public policy within a state that has no legitimate moral grounds for authority.","PeriodicalId":38169,"journal":{"name":"Religions","volume":"8 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138944503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attitudes toward War and Peace in the Ukrainian Evangelical Context 乌克兰福音派对战争与和平的态度

This article employs the LIM method, complemented by publications and interviews conducted during the ongoing war in Ukraine, to explore the shifts in attitudes toward war and peace within Ukrainian evangelical communities. This shift involves a transition from a pacifist mindset previously predominant among Ukrainian evangelicals to questions about their responsibility and involvement in Ukraine’s state and society amid the war that Russia has launched against Ukraine. Interviews with leaders and active church members hint at a possible alignment with Stassen’s alternative model of transformative initiatives that might provide potential guidance. While reconciliation initiatives amid the ongoing war may be premature, the article highlights the role of Christian communities in transformative peacebuilding within Ukraine. It is necessary to address tensions within Ukraine. This also entails aiding war-affected individuals, ensuring care for soldiers and civilians, and confronting power abuse and corruption. Ukraine’s unity, freedom, peace, and reconciliation must include diverse political and social groups. The article recommends that Ukrainian evangelicals embrace a contextual public theology that advocates for peace, justice, and reconciliation. Ukrainian evangelicals, while supporting soldiers engaged in active combat against Russian invaders, are also contemplating strategies for active participation in peacebuilding and post-war reconstruction.
本文采用 LIM 法,并辅以出版物和乌克兰战争期间进行的访谈,探讨乌克兰福音派社区对战争与和平态度的转变。这种转变包括从以前在乌克兰福音派中占主导地位的和平主义心态转变为在俄罗斯对乌克兰发动的战争中他们对乌克兰国家和社会的责任和参与问题。与教会领袖和活跃教会成员的访谈显示,他们可能与斯塔森提出的另一种变革倡议模式相吻合,这可能会为他们提供潜在的指导。虽然在持续的战争中提出和解倡议可能为时尚早,但文章强调了基督教团体在乌克兰变革性和平建设中的作用。有必要解决乌克兰国内的紧张局势。这也需要援助受战争影响的个人,确保对士兵和平民的关怀,并打击滥用权力和腐败现象。乌克兰的团结、自由、和平与和解必须包括不同的政治和社会群体。文章建议乌克兰福音派接受一种倡导和平、正义与和解的公共神学。乌克兰福音派在支持士兵积极打击俄罗斯侵略者的同时,也在考虑积极参与和平建设和战后重建的战略。

A Christian Pluralistic Hypothesis: To Bonhoeffer and beyond—A World Christianity 基督教多元化假说:致朋霍费尔及其他--世界基督教

This essay investigates Bonhoeffer’s undeveloped concept of “Unconscious Christianity” and how a protracted understanding of his religionless Christianity in a culture “come of age” points to a viable Christian pluralistic hypothesis—how Christ and the Spirit are redemptively active outside the church. Bonhoeffer’s living faith action transcends his theology, revealing unconscious dynamics within our interactions that reveal antecedent relational dynamics that open to the redemptive process, which transcend but do not obviate the cognitive elements of faith. New scriptural themes and concepts of relationality and perichoretic metaphysics bring greater biblical coherence and meaning to one particular biblical passage that has apparently remained meaningless (Matt 12:32). This new meaning and coherence within the scriptures radically alter Christianity’s relationship to the outside world and transforms our understanding of the Great Commission.
本文研究了朋霍费尔尚未发展的 "无意识的基督教 "概念,以及对他在 "时代来临 "的文化中的无宗教基督教的长期理解如何指向一个可行的基督教多元假设--基督和圣灵如何在教会之外以救赎的方式活动。朋霍费尔活生生的信仰行动超越了他的神学,揭示了我们互动中的无意识动力,这些动力揭示了向救赎过程开放的先在关系动力,这些动力超越了信仰的认知要素,但并没有使其消失。新的经文主题和关系性概念以及围城形而上学为圣经中显然毫无意义的一段经文(《马太福音》12:32)带来了更大的连贯性和意义。圣经中的这种新意义和一致性从根本上改变了基督教与外部世界的关系,并改变了我们对大使命的理解。

Within and Beyond the Community: Tensions in Muslim Service Provision in Switzerland 社区内外:瑞士穆斯林服务提供中的紧张关系

Muslim religious professionals are caught between the expectations of the community they serve and belong to and the expectations of the society they live in. Drawing on Helmut Plessner’s notion of “antithetical tensions between community and society”, this study addresses questions of how Muslim religious professionals experience these tensions and how they cope with them. The data presented are based on semi-structured interviews conducted as part of exploratory research on Muslim service providers in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland. The findings show that Muslim religious professionals have to deal with community-related challenges such as generational differences, social change and fragmentation, together with outside influences including radicalisation and challenges related to society. Given the recurrent debates on Islamic radicalisation and terrorism in media and politics, they are expected to prove they are peaceful and loyal citizens, even though they are more often than not accused of not being integrated into society. Muslim religious professionals work strenuously, often on a voluntary basis, to do justice to expectations from both sides and try to be non-provocative by engaging in low-profile activities. Finally, they reach out to the wider society, e.g., by participating in inter-religious dialogue and, therefore, engage in bridging activities.
穆斯林宗教专业人员被夹在他们所服务和所属社区的期望与他们所生活的社会的期望之间。本研究借鉴赫尔穆特-普莱斯纳(Helmut Plessner)的 "社区与社会之间对立的紧张关系 "概念,探讨了穆斯林宗教专业人员如何体验这些紧张关系以及他们如何应对这些紧张关系的问题。研究数据基于对瑞士苏黎世州穆斯林服务提供者进行的半结构式访谈,作为探索性研究的一部分。研究结果表明,穆斯林宗教专业人员必须应对与社区相关的挑战,如代际差异、社会变革和分裂,以及包括激进主义和社会挑战在内的外部影响。鉴于媒体和政界对伊斯兰激进化和恐怖主义的反复讨论,他们需要证明自己是和平、忠诚的公民,尽管他们经常被指责没有融入社会。穆斯林宗教专业人员通常以志愿方式努力工作,以不辜负双方的期望,并通过参与低调的活动努力做到不张扬。最后,他们向更广泛的社会伸出援手,如参与宗教间对话,因此,他们也参与搭桥活动。
