Theology and the Arts
This book brings the emerging fields of practical theology and theology of the arts into a dialogue beyond the bias of modern systematic and constructive theology. The authors draw upon postmodern, post-secular, feminist, liberation, and dialogical/dialectical philosophy and theology, and their critiques of the narrow modern emphases on reason and the scientific method, as the model for all knowledge. Such a practical theology of the arts focuses the work of theology on the actual practices that engage the arts in their various forms as the means of interpreting and understanding the nature of the communities and their members, as well as the mechanisms through which these communities engage...

Philosophy and the Arts in Central Europe, 1500-1700
The articles in this collection focus on instruction - and writings arising from that instruction - in philosophy and the arts during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with emphasis on Central Europe. The introduction brings together and expands upon many of the topics discussed - and conclusions reached - in the remaining seven articles. Four of these articles are devoted to examining the significance of two ancient authors (Aristotle and Cicero) and of two more recent ones (Petrus Ramus and Bartholomew Keckermann). The article on Keckermann is based in part on previously unpublished biographical and bibliographical source materials. Two concepts - encyclopedia and philosophy - as utilized in the 16th and 17th centuries constitute the subject matter of separate articles. And one article focuses primarily on curriculum plans written during the 16th and early 17th centuries. These eight articles are based on a wide array of printed and manuscript source materials which are cited together with library/archive locations and call numbers and which are made more easily accessible through three indices at the conclusion of this volume.
Alchemy and Chemistry in the 16th and 17th Centuries
The present volume owes its ongm to a Colloquium on "Alchemy and Chemistry in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries", held at the Warburg Institute on 26th and 27th July 1989. The Colloquium focused on a number of selected themes during a closely defined chronological interval: on the relation of alchemy and chemistry to medicine, philosophy, religion, and to the corpuscular philosophy, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The relations between Medicina and alchemy in the Lullian treatises were examined in the opening paper by Michela Pereira, based on researches on unpublished manuscript sources in the period between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is several decades since the researches of R.F. Multhauf gave a prominent role to Johannes de Rupescissa in linking medicine and alchemy through the concept of a quinta essentia. Michela Pereira explores the significance of the Lullian tradition in this development and draws attention to the fact that the early Paracelsians had themselves recognized a family resemblance between the works of Paracelsus and Roger Bacon's scientia experimentalis and, indeed, a continuity with the Lullian tradition.
Ungewisses, Unsicheres und Unbestimmtes: Eine phänomenologische Studie zum Pädagogischen in Hinsicht auf LehrerInnenbildung
„Das Menschliche gewährt sich erst einer Beziehung, die kein Können ist“ (Levinas) Nicht-Wissen und Nicht-Können, Kategorien radikaler Ungewissheit, sind aus professionstheoretischer Sicht den Kategorien von Können und Wissen für LehrerInnenbildung und -forschung ebenbürtig, so eine zentrale These Matt-Windels. Sie ist Ausdruck einer phänomenologischen Ungewissheitstheorie, welche die Autorin aus der Interpretation qualitativer Forschungsgespräche mit Lehramtsstudierenden entwickelt. Eine Ungewissheitstheorie ist kritisch gegenüber der einseitigen Fokussierung auf Expertentum, Kompetenzorientierung und Standardisierung, in dem Wissen und Können zentrale Leitbilder sind. Sie lä...
