The Ethos of History - Time and Responsibility (Hardcover): Stefan Helgesson, Jayne Svenungsson The Ethos of History - Time and Responsibility (Hardcover)
Stefan Helgesson, Jayne Svenungsson
R3,014 Discovery Miles 30 140 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

At a time when rapidly evolving technologies, political turmoil, and the tensions inherent in multiculturalism and globalization are reshaping historical consciousness, what is the proper role for historians and their work? By way of an answer, the contributors to this volume offer up an illuminating collective meditation on the idea of ethos and its relevance for historical practice. These intellectually adventurous essays demonstrate how ethos-a term evoking a society's "fundamental character" as well as an ethical appeal to knowledge and commitment-can serve as a conceptual lodestar for history today, not only as a narrative, but as a form of consciousness and an ethical-political orientation.

Heidegger's Black Notebooks and the Future of Theology (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Marten Bjoerk, Jayne Svenungsson Heidegger's Black Notebooks and the Future of Theology (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Marten Bjoerk, Jayne Svenungsson
R4,585 Discovery Miles 45 850 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book probes the relationship between Martin Heidegger and theology in light of the discovery of his Black Notebooks, which reveal that his privately held Antisemitism and anti-Christian sentiments were profoundly intertwined with his philosophical ideas. Heidegger himself was deeply influenced by both Catholic and Protestant theology. This prompts the question as to what extent Christian anti-Jewish motifs shaped Heidegger's own thinking in the first place. A second question concerns modern theology's intellectual indebtedness to Heidegger. In this volume, an array of renowned Heidegger scholars - both philosophers and theologians -investigate Heidegger's animosity toward the biblical legacy in both its Jewish and Christian interpretations, and what it means for the future task and identity of theology.

Divining History - Prophetism, Messianism and the Development of the Spirit (Paperback): Jayne Svenungsson Divining History - Prophetism, Messianism and the Development of the Spirit (Paperback)
Jayne Svenungsson
R902 Discovery Miles 9 020 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

For millennia, messianic visions of redemption have inspired men and women to turn against unjust and oppressive orders. Yet these very same traditions are regularly decried as antecedents to the violent and authoritarian ideologies of modernity. Informed in equal parts by theology and historical theory, this book offers a provocative exploration of this double-edged legacy. Author Jayne Svenungsson rigorously pursues a middle path between utopian arrogance and an enervated postmodernism, assessing the impact of Jewish and Christian theologies of history on subsequent thinkers, and in the process identifying a web of spiritual and intellectual motifs extending from ancient Jewish prophets to contemporary radicals such as Giorgio Agamben and Slavoj Zizek.
