The Recovery of the Natural Desire for Salvation: 恢复自然的救赎欲望
IF 1 Pub Date : 2024-04-09 DOI: 10.12775/setf.2024.007
Jorge Martín Montoya Camacho, José Manuel Giménez Amaya
Dynamic Theodicy (DT) is a broad concept we bring up to designate some modern Philosophical Theology attempts to reconcile the necessary and perfect existence of God with the contingent characteristics of human life. In this paper we analyze such approaches and discuss how they have become incomprehensible because the metaphysical assumptions implicit in these explanations have lost their intrinsic relation to the natural human desire for salvation. In the first part we show Charles Hartshorne's DT-model, arising from the modal logic of perfection, and the modern rational problems of this position in making infinite-necessary Being (God) and finite-contingent being (human) compatible. We note that at the heart of the contradictions in this DT account is a dialectical mode of thinking that makes it difficult to find a correct solution to this dichotomy, and to assume a human desire that could be considered related to lifelong goals. In the second part, supported by the proposal of Hans Urs von Balthasar's DT, we develop the concepts of bodily vulnerability, corporeal intentionality, and natural desire for salvation, which come from an Aristotelian-Thomistic thought. This theory is established in order to build an argument, following Alasdair MacIntyre’s ethical framework, on how to make possible the recovery of a metaphysical and anthropological desire that transcends natural aging and goes beyond death. We conclude that both human dependence and the virtues that arise naturally when human beings decide to seek the good of their transcendent condition, make it possible to recover the natural desire for salvation through divine and human love.
动态神学(DT)是我们提出的一个宽泛的概念,用来指称现代哲学神学试图调和上帝必然而完美的存在与人类生活偶然性特征的一些尝试。在本文中,我们将对这些方法进行分析,并讨论它们是如何变得难以理解的,因为这些解释中隐含的形而上学假设已经失去了与人类自然的救赎欲望之间的内在联系。在第一部分中,我们展示了查尔斯-哈特肖恩(Charles Hartshorne)的 DT 模型,它产生于完美的模态逻辑,以及这一立场在使无限必然的存在(上帝)与有限可变的存在(人类)相容方面的现代理性问题。我们注意到,DT 这一论述的矛盾核心在于一种辩证的思维模式,这种思维模式使我们难以找到这种二分法的正确解决方案,也难以假定一种可被视为与终生目标相关的人类欲望。在第二部分,在汉斯-乌尔斯-冯-巴尔塔萨的 DT 提议的支持下,我们提出了身体脆弱性、肉体意向性和自然救赎欲望等概念,这些概念来自亚里士多德-托马斯思想。建立这一理论是为了按照阿拉斯戴尔-麦金太尔(Alasdair MacIntyre)的伦理框架,论证如何恢复超越自然衰老和超越死亡的形而上学和人类学欲望。我们的结论是,人类的依赖性和当人类决定寻求其超越条件的善时自然产生的美德,使得通过神爱和人爱恢复自然的救赎欲望成为可能。

Fluid Theodicy 流体神论
IF 1 Pub Date : 2024-04-09 DOI: 10.12775/setf.2024.002
Hans-Ferdinand Angel
The term theodicy was coined by the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) and is inherent in the question of how evil can exist if an intrinsically good God guides everything. The publication of this oeuvre initiated intense philosophical and theological discourse in the subsequent centuries, during which many issues that bare upon human well-being were articulated. Also, Leibniz’s rational approach to the relationship between God and evil raised a number of issues related to the topic of belief. This topic has entangled discourses on theodicy with a long-lasting debate on beliefs, which goes back to Antiquity. Recently, a paradigm-shift shed new light on the understanding of belief. Science has begun to address the neurophysiological mechanisms of the processes that underpin belief formation, modulation, and change. The term credition was coined in order to capture and reflect this new and innovative understanding of the fluidity of beliefs and believing. This paper presents various features of a pattern of interrelationships between well-being, theodicy, and credition.
神道论 "一词由哲学家戈特弗里德-威廉-莱布尼茨(1646-1716 年)创造,其本质是一个问题,即如果本质上善的上帝指引万物,那么恶怎么可能存在。这部著作的出版引发了随后几个世纪激烈的哲学和神学讨论,在此期间,许多影响人类福祉的问题得到了阐述。此外,莱布尼茨对上帝与邪恶之间关系的理性态度也引发了一系列与信仰相关的问题。这一话题将关于神道论的讨论与关于信仰的旷日持久的争论纠缠在一起,这种争论可以追溯到古代。最近,范式的转变为理解信仰带来了新的启示。科学界开始研究支撑信念形成、调节和变化过程的神经生理学机制。为了捕捉和反映这种对信念和信仰流动性的新颖理解,人们创造了 "信念"(credition)一词。本文介绍了幸福感、神论和信念之间相互关系模式的各种特征。

Bridging Ideological Divides: 弥合意识形态分歧
IF 1 Pub Date : 2024-04-09 DOI: 10.12775/setf.2024.010
Hans Madueme, Todd Wood
Why do creationists persist in rejecting the evidence for Darwin’s theory of evolution? This paper explores longstanding disagreements among Christians over the epistemic status of evolution. Like other studies that have tried to define the evidence for evolution, a recent analysis by Gijsbert van den Brink, Jeroen de Ridder, and René van Woudenberg does not adequately face up to antecedent commitments that play into any assessment of evolution. The scientific theory of evolution involves higher-level models that are associated with a range of non-scientific factors, including theological judgments. In light of these realities, an emphasis on mutual dialogue and understanding offers promising opportunities for Christians trying to discover the truth about God’s creation.
为什么神创论者坚持拒绝达尔文进化论的证据?本文探讨了基督徒之间关于进化论认识论地位的长期分歧。与其他试图界定进化论证据的研究一样,吉斯伯特-范登布林克(Gijsbert van den Brink)、耶罗恩-德-里德(Jeroen de Ridder)和勒内-范-沃登伯格(René van Woudenberg)最近进行的一项分析并没有充分正视对进化论进行评估的先验承诺。进化论的科学理论涉及与一系列非科学因素(包括神学判断)相关的高层次模型。鉴于这些现实,强调相互对话和理解为试图发现上帝创造的真相的基督徒提供了大有可为的机会。

The Transhumanist Point of View to the Evolutionary Indifference to Pain and Suffering 从超人主义者的角度看进化论对痛苦和苦难的漠视
IF 1 Pub Date : 2024-04-09 DOI: 10.12775/setf.2024.012
Paweł Orzeł
The text presents a transhumanist point of view on evolution. It focuses on the lack of clear and obvious evolutionary solutions to the issue of involuntary suffering. It poses difficult questions about the possibility of enhencement of human nature and respecting the laws of evolution. It reflects on the positive role of pain for the development of individual people and the entire human species. It considers the thesis that perhaps evolution “needs” pain for proper human development. It asks whether the transition to a higher than evolutionary stage of human development, as proposed by transhumanists, will not lead to the extinction of our species? After all, it relates all this mosaic of thoughts and theories to God, who can be the answer to many posed questions.
这篇课文提出了超人类进化论的观点。其重点在于,对于非自愿的痛苦问题,缺乏清晰明确的进化解决方案。它提出了关于是否有可能实现人性和尊重进化规律的难题。它反思了痛苦对个体和整个人类发展的积极作用。它探讨了进化 "需要 "痛苦来促进人类正常发展的论点。它提出了一个问题,即超人主义者提出的人类发展过渡到比进化更高的阶段是否会导致我们这个物种的灭绝?最后,它将所有这些思想和理论与上帝联系起来,上帝可以解答许多提出的问题。

Natural Selection, Scarcity and Evil: 自然选择、稀缺与邪恶:
IF 1 Pub Date : 2024-04-09 DOI: 10.12775/setf.2024.006
Mats Wahlberg
It is often claimed that our knowledge of the evolutionary process adds an extra dimension to the classical problem of natural evil and makes this problem worse. Especially the principle of natural selection is often portrayed as morally inappropriate or “unfitting” for a perfectly good God to use as a means for creating biological complexity. In this article, I argue that this common view is misconceived, and that natural selection is a wholly innocuous principle. The real source of evolutionary evils is the fact that resources in nature are scarce – a fact that was known long before Darwin. The problem of natural and evolutionary evil, therefore, is best construed as a question about why God permits scarcity in nature. I argue that recent research about the interrelation between competition and cooperation in the evolutionary process provides resources for answering this perennial question in a more satisfactory way than could be done before the advent of evolutionary theory.  
人们常常声称,我们对进化过程的了解给经典的自然之恶问题增加了一个额外的维度,并使这一问题变得更加严重。尤其是自然选择的原则常常被描绘成道德上不恰当或 "不适合 "一个完全善良的上帝用来创造生物复杂性的手段。在这篇文章中,我认为这种常见的观点是错误的,自然选择是一个完全无害的原则。进化之恶的真正根源在于自然界的资源稀缺--这一事实早在达尔文之前就已为人所知。因此,自然与进化之恶的问题最好被理解为上帝为什么允许自然界存在稀缺性的问题。我认为,最近关于进化过程中竞争与合作之间相互关系的研究提供了资源,可以比进化论出现之前更令人满意地回答这个长期存在的问题。

Why Biological Evolution Should Inspire Worship 为什么生物进化应激发人们的崇拜?
IF 1 Pub Date : 2024-04-09 DOI: 10.12775/setf.2024.009
Graeme Finlay
The theory of biological evolution has often provoked disagreement, which has frequently been divisive and counterproductive. At other times this scientific paradigm has been discussed with an apologetic intent, to explain why the science of biology and the theology of creation cannot be seen to be mutually exclusive. This paper urges Christians to move decisively to a third type of discourse. The new field of comparative genetics has provided conclusive evidence that biological evolution has given rise to the diversity of living forms, including human beings. Consequently, Christians should, with confidence, gladly accept the evolutionary paradigm and look upon evolution as a divinely ordained historical process that develops through random (stochastic, free) process, but that leads to a divinely purposed consummation. As a result, biological history in its freedom but directedness to God’s final purposes should elicit wonder. People who have come to faith in the God revealed redemptively in Jesus should uninhibitedly offer adoration and praise for evolutionary fruitfulness. Worship should characterise the human response to biological history.[1]   [1] In appreciation of Professor Tom McLeish FRS, scientist, teacher, theologian.
生物进化论常常引发分歧,而分歧常常造成分裂并适得其反。在另一些时候,对这一科学范式的讨论是出于辩护的目的,以解释为什么生物学科学和创造神学不能被视为相互排斥。本文敦促基督徒果断地转向第三种讨论方式。比较遗传学这一新领域已经提供了确凿的证据,证明生物进化产生了包括人类在内的生物形式的多样性。因此,基督徒应该满怀信心地欣然接受进化论范式,并将进化论视为神所安排的历史进程,它是通过随机(随机的、自由的)过程发展起来的,但却导致了神所安排的最终结果。因此,生物历史的自由性和对上帝最终旨意的指引性应该引起人们的惊叹。相信在耶稣身上得到救赎的上帝的人们,应该无拘无束地对进化的丰硕成果表示崇拜和赞美。崇拜应该成为人类对生物史的反应的特征。[1] [1] 感谢科学家、教师、神学家汤姆-麦克利什教授(Tom McLeish FRS)。

Is Pain Metaphysically Evil (Malum Simpliciter)? 痛苦在形而上学上是邪恶的吗?
IF 1 Pub Date : 2024-04-09 DOI: 10.12775/setf.2024.008
Mariusz Tabaczek
Contrary to the commonly assumed opinion that Christianity sees pain as intrinsically evil – where evil is defined as the lack of something good – Aquinas defines pain not as a privation but rather a passion of the soul, i.e., an emotion that depends on sensual and/or intellective cognition of something evil, is good in itself, and may serve a purpose. This article offers a formalized version of the Thomistic definition of pain and related negative (unpleasant) emotions experienced by humans. It also compares and contrasts this view with some contemporary scientific and philosophical models of pain.
基督教通常认为疼痛本质上是邪恶的--邪恶被定义为缺乏美好的事物--与此相反,阿奎那将疼痛定义为灵魂的激情,即一种依赖于感官和/或理智对邪恶事物的认知的情绪,其本身是美好的,并可能具有某种目的。本文正式提出了托马斯主义关于人类所经历的痛苦和相关负面(不愉快)情绪的定义。文章还将这一观点与当代一些关于疼痛的科学和哲学模型进行了比较和对比。

The Pneumopathic Genesis of Human Enhancement 人体强化的肺病起源
IF 1 Pub Date : 2024-04-09 DOI: 10.12775/setf.2024.011
Leandro Gaitán
The philosopher Byung-Chul Han affirms that the present age reduces the human being to a performance-machine, and that, because of this reduction, the type of disease that characterizes it this age is neuronal. In the present article, I argue that Han’s analysis is correct but incomplete. Behind this reductionism, which leads to neuropathologies of different types, lies another type of pathology that the philosopher Eric Voegelin calls ‘pneumopathology’—disease of the spirit. The transhumanist view of human enhancement deepens this reduction and shows that the pneumopathology that blights today’s society is in a process of unprecedented chronification. To justify this thesis, I first explain the connection between human enhancement and the achievement imperative denounced by Han; I then analyze the Voegelian category of pneumopathology to show its value for an ontological-historical understanding of human enhancement.
哲学家韩秉哲(Byung-Chul Han)认为,当今时代将人简化为表演机器,由于这种简化,这个时代的特征疾病类型是神经元疾病。在本文中,我认为韩教授的分析是正确的,但并不全面。在这种导致不同类型神经病理学的还原论背后,隐藏着另一种病理学,哲学家埃里克-沃格林(Eric Voegelin)称之为 "肺病理学"--精神疾病。超人类主义的人类提升观点深化了这种还原论,并表明困扰当今社会的肺部病理学正处于前所未有的时序化过程中。为了证明这一论点的正确性,我首先解释了人类提升与韩德强所谴责的 "成就需要 "之间的联系,然后分析了福格尔的 "肺病学 "范畴,以说明其对于从本体论-历史学角度理解人类提升的价值。

Beliefs in Pain and Suffering: 对痛苦和苦难的信念:
IF 1 Pub Date : 2024-04-09 DOI: 10.12775/setf.2024.003
Rüdiger J. Seitz
In this communication recent evidence from cognitive neuroscience is presented showing that believing is a fundamental brain function. It integrates the perception of information from the environment with personal perspective taking (“what does it mean to me?”) as the basis for predictive coding of action. Observing that another person becomes injured can make one believe that the pain in the injured person is similar to pain that oneself has experienced previously. This first-person perspective has been called empathy and includes primal beliefs about potentially pain eliciting objects and painful events in the sense of “what does it mean to you?”. Furthermore, observing other people to suffer involves the conceptual belief that their condition is aversive and burdensome. Believing in love and peace involves the perspective of “what does it mean to us?”. Contradictory events may cause the sensation of pain and suffering in the afflicted individuals resulting in mutual distrust and eventually disruption of social bonds. In conclusion, beliefs play an important, though long underestimated role in cognitive neuroscience of pain and suffering and more generally for the cultural notions of deities and evil.
在这篇通讯中,来自认知神经科学的最新证据表明,"相信 "是大脑的一项基本功能。它将对环境信息的感知与个人观点("这对我意味着什么?")结合起来,作为预测行动编码的基础。观察到他人受伤,会让人相信伤者的痛苦与自己之前经历过的痛苦相似。这种第一人称视角被称为 "移情",包括对可能引起疼痛的物体和疼痛事件的原始信念,即 "这对你意味着什么?此外,观察他人遭受痛苦也包含了一种概念性信念,即他们的状况是令人厌恶的,是一种负担。相信爱与和平则涉及到 "这对我们意味着什么 "的观点。相互矛盾的事件可能会使患者感到疼痛和痛苦,从而导致相互不信任,最终破坏社会纽带。总之,尽管长期以来人们低估了信仰在痛苦认知神经科学中的重要作用,但信仰在神与恶的文化观念中也发挥着更广泛的作用。

Contradictory events may cause the sensation of pain and suffering in the afflicted individuals resulting in mutual distrust and eventually disruption of social bonds. In conclusion, beliefs play an important, though long underestimated role in cognitive neuroscience of pain and suffering and more generally for the cultural notions of deities and evil.","PeriodicalId":41706,"journal":{"name":"Scientia et Fides","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140720606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evolutionary Explanations of Pain and Suffering: 痛苦与苦难的进化解释:

Evolutionary studies have provided several explanations about how pain and suffering can be fitted into that framework, which tries to make sense of every biological and human feature in terms of evolution, survival, and fitness. These explanations point usually to how such apparently negative aspects become useful and contribute to an evolution that after all has delivered good outcomes. Such an approach might eventually render the theodicy question less sharp and critical for believers who are trying to cope with the scandal of so great suffering in our world and history. Theologically we can welcome such new insights, less noticed in former tradition, but at the same time we need to be cautious before a development which could render less clear the message of Christian salvation. In any case, the new data and knowledge clearly invite to revise and reformulate the Christian salvific message, to better answer before the mystery of evil and suffering.
进化论研究提供了几种解释,说明如何将痛苦和苦难纳入进化论框架,该框架试图从进化、生存和适应的角度来理解每一种生物和人类特征。这些解释通常指向这些看似消极的方面是如何变得有用的,并有助于进化,毕竟进化带来了好的结果。这种方法最终可能会使神学问题变得不那么尖锐和关键,因为信徒们正试图应对我们的世界和历史上如此巨大的苦难丑闻。在神学上,我们可以欢迎这种在以往传统中较少注意到的新见解,但与此同时,我们也需要谨慎对待这种可能使基督教救赎信息变得不那么清晰的发展。无论如何,新的数据和知识显然需要对基督教的救赎信息进行修订和重新表述,以便在邪恶和苦难的奥秘面前做出更好的回答。
