Scripture and Theology - Historical and Systematic Perspectives (Hardcover): Tomas  Bokedal, Ludger Jansen, Michael Borowski Scripture and Theology - Historical and Systematic Perspectives (Hardcover)
Tomas Bokedal, Ludger Jansen, Michael Borowski
R3,181 Discovery Miles 31 810 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

The academic disciplines of Biblical Studies and Systematic Theology were long closely linked to one another. However, in the modern period they became gradually separated which led to increasing subject specialization, but also to a lamentable lacuna within the various branches of Divinity. As the lack of dialogue between Biblical Studies and the various theological disciplines increased, a minority-group of scholars in the past few decades reacted and sought to re-establish the time-honoured bonds between the disciplines. The present volume is part of this intellectual response, with contributions from scholars of various professional and denominational backgrounds. Together, the book's 25 chapters seek to reinvigorate the crucial cross-disciplinary dialogue, involving biblical, narrative, historical, systematic-theological and philosophic-theological perspectives. The book opens the horizon to contemporary research, and fills a lamentable research gap with a number of fresh contributions from scholars in the respective sub-disciplines

Peter van Inwagen - Materialism, Free Will and God (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Ludger Jansen, Paul M. Nager Peter van Inwagen - Materialism, Free Will and God (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)

This book discusses the philosophy of influential contemporary philosopher Peter van Inwagen. Looking at perennial philosophical problems from a modern point of view, Peter van Inwagen's philosophy masterfully combines positions that have been considered irreconcilable: incompatibilism concerning free will, materialism, organicism, theism and realism concerning fictional entities. As readers will discover, his arguments are witty, surprising and deep. The book includes Peter van Inwagen's Munster Lecture of 2015 on free will, as well as eleven papers from the Munster colloquium discussing central themes of his philosophy, and a reply to each paper by Peter van Inwagen himself. Introducing his philosophy and relating his work to other contemporary views, this book is of interest to graduate students and professionals in philosophy alike.

Neo-Aristotelian Perspectives on Formal Causation (Hardcover): Ludger Jansen, Petter Sandstad Neo-Aristotelian Perspectives on Formal Causation (Hardcover)
Ludger Jansen, Petter Sandstad
R4,491 Discovery Miles 44 910 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This is the first volume of essays devoted to Aristotelian formal causation and its relevance for contemporary metaphysics and philosophy of science. The essays trace the historical development of formal causation and demonstrate its relevance for contemporary issues, such as causation, explanation, laws of nature, functions, essence, modality, and metaphysical grounding. The introduction to the volume covers the history of theories of formal causation and points out why we need a theory of formal causation in contemporary philosophy. Part I is concerned with scholastic approaches to formal causation, while Part II presents four contemporary approaches to formal causation. The three chapters in Part III explore various notions of dependence and their relevance to formal causation. Part IV, finally, discusses formal causation in biology and cognitive sciences. Neo-Aristotelian Perspectives on Formal Causation will be of interest to advanced graduate students and researchers working on contemporary Aristotelian approaches to metaphysics and philosophy of science. This volume includes contributions by Jose Tomas Alvarado, Christopher J. Austin, Giacomo Giannini, Jani Hakkarainen, Ludger Jansen, Markku Keinanen, Gyula Klima, James G. Lennox, Stephen Mumford, David S. Oderberg, Michele Paolini Paoletti, Sandeep Prasada, Petter Sandstad, Wolfgang Sattler, Benjamin Schnieder, Matthew Tugby, and Jonas Werner.

Ludger Jansen
R2,012 Discovery Miles 20 120 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Tun und Koennen erlautert und diskutiert den Grundungstext der Modalontologie: das neunte Buch der Metaphysik des Aristoteles. Aristoteles' Thesen und Argumente werden zum ersten Mal in Ganze mit formalen analytischen Mitteln rekonstruiert und auf ihre Koharenz und Gultigkeit gepruft. Erstmals verwendet der Autor dazu eine adverbiale Analyse von Ausdrucken des Koennens und des Vermoegens als Pradikatmodifikatoren. Das Buch zeigt, dass Aristoteles' Theorie der Vermoegen nicht nur eine konsistente, sondern auch eine leistungsfahige Analyse von Dispositionen und Dispositionspradikaten bietet. Die Neuausgabe wurde vollstandig durchgesehen und um weiterfuhrende Anhange erganzt.
