(Im)pure bodies and the Body of Christ: Judith Butler and Bruno Latour on (im)purity and the implications for contemporary Eucharistic participation (i)纯洁的身体和基督的身体:朱迪思·巴特勒和布鲁诺·拉图尔谈(i)纯洁及其对当代圣餐参与的影响

ABSTRACT Recent discussions about Eucharistic practice in the United States have received increased public attention with stories of pro-life politicians being excluded from participation. In this practice of exclusion, there is a depiction of protecting the Eucharist from impurity, with the priests citing the pro-life framework as the basis for inclusion. Using this site for reflection, this article seeks to interrogate these representations of (im)purity specifically with reference to the abortion debate and the Eucharist. Taking the concept of impurity found in the works of Judith Butler and Bruno Latour and placing it in conversation with ‘purity culture’ and the disproportional focus on bodies of women in cases of abortion, I seek to address constructed boundaries between dualisms such as pure and impure, as well as Church and the world. More specifically, I aim to reconfigure impurity away from being an ‘evil that must be avoided’ (Thomas Bauer) by the Church and instead ask how this can serve as a rich resource for scholars reflecting on religious practices today, rethinking the Body of Christ as one of inherent interdependency and porosity – not a space in need of protection from ‘impurity’, but one that further divides representations of purity and impurity altogether.
摘要最近关于美国圣餐仪式的讨论越来越受到公众的关注,支持堕胎的政客被排除在外。在这种排斥的做法中,有一种保护圣餐不受杂质影响的描述,牧师们引用了反生命的框架作为包容的基础。利用这个网站进行反思,本文试图通过堕胎辩论和圣餐来质疑这些对(im)纯洁性的表述。我将朱迪斯·巴特勒(Judith Butler)和布鲁诺·拉图尔(Bruno Latour。更具体地说,我的目标是重新配置不洁,使其不再是教会“必须避免的邪恶”(托马斯·鲍尔),而是询问这如何成为学者反思当今宗教实践的丰富资源,将基督的身体重新思考为一个内在的相互依存和多孔性——而不是一个需要保护的空间,但它进一步将纯洁和不洁的表征完全分开。

Are you praying to a videogame God? Some theological and philosophical implications of the simulation hypothesis 你在向电子游戏的上帝祈祷吗?模拟假说的神学和哲学意义

ABSTRACT The hypothesis that we may be living in a digital simulation is utilized as a ‘thought experiment’ to help clarify important questions in theology and philosophy, including the nature of God, the significance and importance of an afterlife, and the ultimate nature of reality. It is argued that a consideration of the simulation hypothesis renders problematic traditional conceptions of a personal, creator, omnipotent deity, makes the theological significance of a purported afterlife far less significant, and paradoxically undermines the very materialistic view of reality that underlies the simulation hypothesis in the first place. It is concluded that the simulation hypothesis renders ‘science’ virtually irrelevant to ultimate questions in philosophy and theology and elevates ethics and axiology to fundamental status for our understanding of reality and any defensible conception of the divine.
摘要我们可能生活在数字模拟中的假设被用作“思想实验”,以帮助澄清神学和哲学中的重要问题,包括上帝的本质、来生的意义和重要性,以及现实的终极本质。有人认为,对模拟假设的考虑会使个人、创造者、无所不能的神的传统观念产生问题,使所谓的死后的神学意义远没有那么重要,并矛盾地破坏了最初作为模拟假设基础的非常唯物主义的现实观。结论是,模拟假说使“科学”与哲学和神学中的终极问题几乎无关,并将伦理学和价值论提升到我们理解现实和任何可辩护的神圣概念的基础地位。

argues for the relevance of Mary Wollstonecraft’s intellectual legacy for the contemporary debate on ethics. The study is based on the whole of Wollstonecraft’s literary corpus and is characterized by its interdisciplinary openings, highlighting in particular the theological background of the English feminist’s texts. The author succeeds in capturing a reality that has often been missed in commentaries on Wollstonecraft’s protean thought: the theological underpinning of her argument for women’s rights
认为玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特的思想遗产与当代伦理辩论的相关性。本研究以沃斯通克拉夫特的整个文学语料库为基础,具有跨学科的开放性,特别突出了英国女权主义者文本的神学背景。作者成功地捕捉到了一个现实,而这个现实在对沃斯通克拉夫特多变思想的评论中经常被忽略:她主张妇女权利的神学基础

Living I Was Your Plague: Martin Luther's World and Legacy 《我是你的瘟疫:马丁·路德的世界与遗产

These two camps include a wide variety of people: Christian and virtue ethicists, moral theologians and political theorists, and feminists. On the one hand, the defenders of virtue criticize the devastating effect of modernity on the life of communities and on the idea of the common good with the emergence of individual rights claims and relativism. On the other hand, the contemptuous of virtue see any shared notion of the good life as all-encompassing and dangerous to freedom. The author does not seek to criticize either side, but to promote Wollstonecraft’s thought as an alternative way of relating to virtue ethics today: a modern virtue that articulates concern for the common good and the legitimacy of rights (chapter 4&5). The great originality of the book is to dedicate Wollstonecraft’s contributions to current theoretical debates that cross Christian ethics and theology and political theory. For Wollstonecraft, theology and religion should be seen as garments of an inherited and everrevisable wardrobe of the moral imagination (p.317). If, as Wollstonecraft invites us to do, we see religion and virtue as revisable elements within our common moral imagination, then it is up to theologians to take responsibility for making these permanent adjustments and to conceive the public contribution of theology as a provisional ethics only.
这两个阵营包括各种各样的人:基督教和美德伦理学家,道德神学家和政治理论家,以及女权主义者。一方面,美德的捍卫者批评现代性对社区生活的破坏性影响,以及随着个人权利主张和相对主义的出现而对共同利益观念的破坏性影响。另一方面,蔑视美德的人认为,任何共同的美好生活观念都是无所不包的,对自由是危险的。作者并没有试图批评任何一方,而是将沃斯通克拉夫特的思想作为与当今美德伦理相关的另一种方式来推广:一种明确表达对共同利益和权利合法性的关注的现代美德(第4章和第5章)。这本书的伟大创意在于将沃斯通克拉夫特的贡献奉献给当前跨越基督教伦理、神学和政治理论的理论辩论。对于沃斯通克拉夫特来说,神学和宗教应该被看作是道德想象中继承的、永远无法修改的服装(第317页)。如果像沃斯通克拉夫特邀请我们做的那样,我们把宗教和美德看作是我们共同道德想象中可修正的元素,那么就应该由神学家承担起做出这些永久调整的责任,并把神学的公共贡献仅仅看作是一种临时的伦理。

Hegel’s vanity. Schelling’s early critique of absolute idealism 黑格尔的虚空。谢林早期对绝对唯心主义的批判

ABSTRACT In this article, we present for the first time Schelling’s early critique of absolute idealism within his middle metaphysics (1804–1820), which has great relevance and influence on the subsequent course of German philosophy, and, more broadly considered, on later systematic thinking about the categories of unity and duality. We aim to show how Schelling defends a form of metaphysical duality, from 1804 onwards, without relapsing into a stronger Kantian dualism. In this sense, our author rejects both the dualism between nature and spirit, necessity and freedom, as well as the monist-immanent metaphysical stance later associated with Hegelian panlogism. Against Hegel, Schelling increasingly vindicates the reality of the finite and degrades the infinite to mere ideality in a movement that resembles later existentialism. Furthermore, we defend Schelling against the accusation of irrationalism that sections of Hegelianism formulated against him and present the concept of infinity without the notion of totality, which he thinks of, much like Fichte, in the light of the concept of an ‘infinite task’. Schelling’s later criticisms of Hegel are shown to be influenced by his early idealist critique of the period at hand.
摘要在这篇文章中,我们首次提出了谢林早期在其中世纪形而上学(1804-1820)中对绝对唯心主义的批判,这对德国哲学的后续进程,以及更广泛地说,对后来关于统一性和二元性范畴的系统思考,都有着重要的意义和影响。我们的目的是展示谢林如何从1804年起捍卫形而上学的二元性,而不会重新陷入更强大的康德二元论。在这个意义上,我们的作者既拒绝了自然与精神、必然与自由之间的二元论,也拒绝了后来与黑格尔泛逻辑主义联系在一起的一元论内在形而上学立场。与黑格尔相反,谢林在一场类似于后来存在主义的运动中,越来越多地证明了有限的现实,并将无限贬低为纯粹的理想。此外,我们为谢林辩护,反对非理性主义的指控,黑格尔主义的某些部分对他提出了反对意见,并提出了无限的概念,而没有整体的概念,他和费希特一样,是根据“无限任务”的概念来思考的。谢林后来对黑格尔的批评被证明受到了他早期对这一时期的唯心主义批评的影响。

Formative encounters with the other: examining the structural differences between Bonhoeffer and Levinas 与他者的形成性相遇:考察邦霍费尔和列维纳斯之间的结构差异

ABSTRACT In this paper, I offer an account of the structural differences, neglected in the literature, between Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Emmanuel Levinas, showing how Bonhoeffer’s account of persons and responsibility is differentiated through creation, fall, and redemption, whereas Levinas’s account of ethical selfhood offers itself as a kind of transcendental account of persons in which the self is structured by its encounter with the other which commands responsibility. This difference (situationally differentiated vs. transcendental) plays out in two ways – the role of the will in ethical selfhood and the identity of the primal governing agent in the encounter with others. Bonhoeffer’s account, through its differentiation into different modes of existence, allows for the possibility of different stages and modes of the encounter with the other, and thus allows for the incorporation of one model of encounter at one stage, and another model at a different stage. As a consequence, Bonhoeffer’s account includes and develops upon the kind of demand-based account Levinas offers. This can serve as an advantage over Levinas’s model insofar as it provides a ‘multi-modal’ framework to absorb other views into one’s own in a way that a transcendentally conceived framework of selfhood does not.
摘要在本文中,我介绍了迪特里希·邦霍费尔和埃马纽埃尔·莱维纳斯之间被文献忽视的结构差异,展示了邦霍费尔对人和责任的描述是如何通过创造、堕落和救赎来区分的,而列维纳斯对道德自我的描述是一种对人的超越性描述,在这种描述中,自我是通过与负有责任的他人的相遇而构建的。这种差异(情境差异与先验差异)表现在两个方面——意志在道德自我中的作用和在与他人相遇中的原始支配主体的身份。邦霍费尔的叙述,通过将其区分为不同的存在模式,允许与另一个相遇的不同阶段和模式的可能性,从而允许在一个阶段结合一种相遇模式,在不同阶段结合另一种相遇模型。因此,Bonhoeffer的账户包括并发展了Levinas提供的基于需求的账户。这可以成为Levinas模型的优势,因为它提供了一个“多模态”框架,以一种超越性的自我框架所没有的方式将其他观点吸收到自己的观点中。

Can rational choice explain hope and patience? Frustration and bitterness in The Book of Job 理性选择能解释希望和耐心吗?《约伯记》中的挫折和痛苦

ABSTRACT Can rational choice theory justify hope and patience in dealing with calamities such as financial collapse or terminal illness? The Book of Job is a good entry-point. Three friends of Job counsel him to avoid hopelessness and bitterness arising from frustration regarding calamities. They do so on non-rational grounds. They argue that Job should ignore the evidence and instead blindly uphold the belief ‘God is just.’ However, such blindness permits magic, superstitions, and cultish beliefs. The specter of such beliefs is probably what prompted the fourth friend, Elihu, to dismiss the arguments of the three friends. Elihu reasons that one should be rational, i.e., acknowledge the evidence. This need not entail the conclusion ‘God is unjust’ – as God cannot perform miracles on a daily basis. That is, given the evidence, one cannot sustain hopeful beliefs that God will interfere and reverse the course of natural catastrophes and shocks from which humans, as well as other living beings, suffer. One at best can be patient, accept suffering considering worse counterfactuals. Based on Elihu’s critique of the arguments of the three friends, and building on Maimonides’s interpretation, this paper concludes that standard rational choice theory can explain patience, but not hope.
理性选择理论能证明在应对金融崩溃或绝症等灾难时的希望和耐心是合理的吗?《工作之书》是一个很好的切入点。乔布斯的三个朋友建议他避免因对灾难的沮丧而产生绝望和痛苦。他们这样做是基于非理性的理由。他们认为,乔布斯应该忽视证据,而不是盲目地坚持“上帝是正义的”的信念然而,这种盲目性允许魔法、迷信和邪教信仰。这种信念的幽灵可能是促使第四位朋友Elihu驳回三位朋友的论点的原因。埃利胡认为一个人应该是理性的,即承认证据。这不需要得出“上帝是不公正的”的结论,因为上帝不能每天都创造奇迹。也就是说,有了这些证据,人们就无法维持这样一种充满希望的信念,即上帝会干预和扭转人类和其他生物所遭受的自然灾害和冲击。一个人最多可以是有耐心的,考虑更糟糕的反事实来接受痛苦。本文以埃利胡对三位朋友的论点的批判为基础,并以迈蒙尼德的解释为基础,得出标准理性选择理论可以解释耐心,但不能解释希望。

Resilience – Its connections to vulnerability and crisis from analytic and phenomenological perspectives 弹性-从分析和现象学的角度看它与脆弱性和危机的联系
IF 0.2 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-10-20 DOI: 10.1080/21692327.2022.2158907
Thiemo Breyer
ABSTRACT The concepts of resilience and vulnerability have experienced an enormous upswing over the past years in different fields of inquiry. While vulnerability has played an eminent role in sociology, feminist studies, theology, and philosophy for some time, resilience has recently become increasingly important. Several high-ranking international academic alliances have been formed, which conduct interdisciplinary research into resilience.

摘要过去几年,在不同的研究领域,复原力和脆弱性的概念经历了巨大的上升。一段时间以来,脆弱性在社会学、女权主义研究、神学和哲学中发挥了重要作用,但最近,韧性变得越来越重要。已经成立了几个高级国际学术联盟,对复原力进行跨学科研究。在下文中,我将探讨脆弱性、危机性和复原力的概念三位一体,以指出这一当代话语的一些历史语义根源,并引入两条哲学路径来阐明其规范性和经验性维度。

ABSTRACT The empirical turn has created an undercurrent of scrutiny regarding the relevance of disciplines such as philosophy and theology due to assumptions about the limitations of their epistemology. This article seeks to recognize that disciplines that are lauded as most relevant due to their reliance on empiricism as their main form of epistemology often rely upon intuition for making decisions in the research process. After delineating this process using Anthropological research as an example, I draw a parallel between descriptions of how intuition can be understood and used as a means of knowing in the work of Kant and several theologians with descriptions of how intuition is relied upon and necessarily emerges as a critical epistemology in the more traditionally empirically grounded discipline Anthropology. This parallel is offered as the launching place for connections between these disciplines through further examination of the use of intuition as an epistemology and hopes to equate the epistemo- logical integrity of disciplines such as philosophy and theology that admit to the use of intuition with those that are considered empiri- cal which rely upon intuition yet may not admit to its use overtly.
由于对哲学和神学等学科的认识论局限性的假设,经验主义转向已经产生了一种关于学科相关性的审查暗流。本文试图认识到,由于依赖经验主义作为其认识论的主要形式而被称赞为最相关的学科,在研究过程中往往依赖于直觉来做出决定。在以人类学研究为例描述了这一过程之后,我在康德和几位神学家的著作中对直觉如何被理解和用作一种认识手段的描述与直觉如何被依赖并必然在更传统的以经验为基础的人类学学科中作为一种批判认识论的描述之间进行了类比。通过对直觉作为一种认识论的使用的进一步考察,这种平行是作为这些学科之间联系的出发点,并希望将哲学和神学等承认直觉使用的学科的认识论完整性与那些依赖直觉但可能不公开承认其使用的经验主义学科等同起来。
