Radical Orthodoxy: Annual Review I
The Radical Orthodoxy Annual Review examines emerging agendas in contemporary theology and philosophy. Today, in an era of biotechnology and a growing ecological consciousness, it is rapidly becoming clear that the key question for our times is how to make sense of the nature and significance of life. In this, the inaugural edition of the Review, some of today's most influential and important thinkers address this issue through wide-ranging discussion of the way in which life is currently being redefined in the work of orthodox theologians and philosophers. In so doing, they show the extent to which contemporary theology and philosophy are helping us to make better of sense of the natural world, the human body, contemporary techno-science, as well as the possibility of a living transcendence--allowing us to see why theology and philosophy remain absolutely crucial to any attempt to understand the current state of the modern world and its likely future development.
Fascist Europe
By shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of Fascism and Nazism, this book examines the ambitious plans for a new European order conceived by Italian intellectuals, historians, geographers, politicians, and even student representative of the Fascist University Groups (GUF). Through expert reconstruction of the debate on this envisaged order’s development, Monica Fioravanzo opens a window into the theoretical arena that shaped relationships between German, Italy and the other Axis nations and provides insight into how the project was anticipated to unite the Fascist regime in Italy and the Nazi Reich.
An Introduction to Personalism
Much has been written about the great personalist philosophers of the 20th century – including Jacques Maritain and Emmanuel Mournier, Martin Buber and Emmanuel Levinas, Dietrich von Hildebrand and Edith Stein, Max Scheler and Karol Wojtyla (later Pope John Paul II) – but few books cover the personalist movement as a whole. An Introduction to Personalism fills that gap. Juan Manuel Burgos shows the reader how personalist philosophy was born in response to the tragedies of two World Wars, the Great Depression, and the totalitarian regimes of the 1930s. Through a revitalization of the concept of the person, an array of thinkers developed a philosophy both rooted in the best of the intellec...
A Guide to John Henry Newman
John Henry Newman (1801-1890), renowned thinker and writer, Anglican clergyman and later Roman Catholic priest and cardinal, has had a lasting influence on both Anglicans and Catholics, in the fields of literature, education, and theology. On October 13, 2019, Pope Francis declared him a saint in Rome. Appealing to both the student and the scholar, A Guide to John Henry Newman provides a wide range of subjects on Newman's life and thought relevant for our times and complementary to biographies of Newman. The contributors include authors from many different disciplines such as theology, education, literature, history, and philosophy, highlighting the wide range of Newman's work. These authors offer a positive assessment of Newman's thought and contribute to the discussion of the recent scholarship of others. A Guide to John Henry Newman will interest educated readers and professors alike, and serve as a text for college seminars for the purpose of studying Newman.
The Economy of Recognition
Introducing an alternative philosophical foundation to the study of economics, this book explains and adopts the perspective of the Italian philosopher Antonio Rosmini (1797-1855), whose interpretation of economic action was fundamentally at odds with the prevailing and all-conquering utilitarianism of modernity. Rosmini, one of the most important Italian and Catholic philosophers of the modern age, eschewed the traditional concepts of subjectivism and individualism at the core of the utilitarian thesis, prefiguring today’s critique of ‘autistic economics’ with his assertion that micro-economic formulae consecrating the ‘maximization of utility’ derive not from scientific principle...
Logik als historische Wissenschaft
»Logica come scienza storica«, das 1950 erschienene Hauptwerk Galvano Della Volpes, das für eine ganze Generation von italienischen Philosophen schulbildend war, gehört zu den wichtigsten Werken des europäischen Marxismus der Nachkriegszeit. Della Volpe hat nach 1945 wie kein anderer auf die Notwendigkeit hingewiesen, dass der Marxismus seinen eigenen theoretisch-wissenschaftlichen Status klären müsse. In seinem Werk stützt er sich noch vor allen anderen europäischen Marxisten fundamental auf die damals beinahe unbekannten Marx'schen Frühschriften. Der seinem Ansatz inhärente Anti-Stalinismus, sein gleichzeitiger Anti-Historismus und sein Kampf gegen die »Hegelei« in der marxist...
Introduzione alla realtà totale
Luigi Giussani (1922-2005) aveva una personalità dirompente, la sua testimonianza di fede è stata ed è tuttora straordinariamente contagiosa e ricca di frutti, ma non si renderebbe adeguatamente conto di essa e della sua peculiare fecondità di risultati se ci si dimenticasse che nella sua proposta generativa di affinità e di popolo si esprime una genialità di pensiero. Gli esiti di molte sue riflessioni in ambito teologico, filosofico e pedagogico hanno infatti un marcato carattere di originalità e hanno profondamente, seppure a volte sotterraneamente, influenzato la cultura contemporanea. Egli è stato e ha voluto essere con tutte le sue forze un educatore, consapevole che dall'educa...
