Religion : Philosophy

In The Seat of the Soul, Zukav brilliantly set forth his fundamental concepts, explaining how the expansion of human perception beyond the five senses leads to a new understanding of power as the alignment of the personality with the soul -- ''authentic power.'' In Soul Stories, he showed how such concepts as harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life express themselves in other people's lives. Now, in The Heart of the Soul, he and Francis take the next major step forward in showing us the importance of emotional awareness in applying these concepts to our own daily lives. more...

This study examines the relationship between Kierkegaard and Schleiermacher by first giving a detailed reading of Kierkegaard’s Journals and Notebooks. Looking at Kierkegaard’s reception of Schleiermacher (often mediated by other writers) thus allows for new insights into the origin and development of Kierkegaard’s own theory of religion. At the same time, Kierkegaard’s critical assessment of Schleiermacher’s legacy in philosophy and theology leads to a substantial comparison of the epistemological, ontological, anthropological and theological presuppositions of their writings, which still resonate strongly in today’s philosophical and theological debates. more...

Vaught identifies the place where religion and philosophy meet-and he does so in constant conversation with Augustine, Hegel, Heidegger and Jaspers. Vaught argues that both religious and philosophical discourse assume one of four modes: figurative, analytical, systematic, and analogical. Any real innovation occurs by moving from one mode of discourse to another. Vaught also explores the relationship among ''space,'' ''time,'' and ''place'' as well as ''mystery,'' ''power,'' and ''structure.'' Remarkably, Vaught shows how the category of ''place'' serves as the intersection of both triads. In the end, ''place'' is the orientation that guides the discussions of Being and God, where philosophy and religion are joined. more...
