The study features the five most important and most efficacious
themes of Western spirituality in their ancient historical origins
and in their unfolding up to early modernity: Divine names,

Jacob Brucker (1696-1770) gilt kategorial und institutionell als
der wichtigste Historiker der Philosophie im 18. Jahrhundert, wenn
nicht der Philosophiegeschichte uberhaupt. Die Essays des Bandes
beleuchten facettenreich das Wirken des grossen Wissenschaftlers
und engagierten Pfarrherrn mit besonderem Akzent auf dessen
Leistungen in der Tradition und Transformation des abendlandischen
philosophischen Erbes. Brucker erhalt hier den Stellenwert, den er
im westlichen Ausland langst innehat."
Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) was one of the most original and
idiosyncratic philosophers before Kant and Hegel. Although Giorgio
Vasari had already diagnosed a cycle of rise, blossoming and
decline in the history of art, Vico was the first to base this on a
philosophical system. Isolated in Naples from direct contact with
the philosophical life of his times, he worked at his grand design
of the cycles of rise, blossoming, decline and eternal return which
he saw in all areas of culture. His points of reference were
ancient mythology and Greek and Roman history. To that extent, he
is regarded today as the founder of the philosophy of history and
the precursor of a tradition which extends to Hegel and Oswald
Spengler's "Decline of the West."
Die hier vorliegenden Versuche, Geschichte zu erklaren, bieten ganz
ungeschutzt die voraufgeklarte Geschichtstheologie neu an. Sie
sehen sich mit der Sakularisation wohl konfrontiert, aber sie
verweigern sie konsequent. Dadurch wirken sie auf den ersten Blick
anachronistisch. Dem aufmerksamen Leser wird nicht entgehen, dass
wie alle radikalen Theorien auch diese mehr Dimensionen aufweisen
als die akkommodierten, bekommlich gemachten, ins Ertragliche
modernisierten Erklarungsversuche; denn sie erhalten die
Dimensionen, die nach der Aufklarung anderwarts verboten sind:
Opfer, Rekompensation, Gewalt, Nihilismusschrecken und das
Entsetzen, Geschichte konne unversohnt enden."
From the Middle Ages to modern times, from religion to philosophy
and vice versa, from Christianity to Judaism to Islam this volume
includes papers written in honor of Friedrich Niewohner, the
scholar and historian of philosophy who died in 2005. These studies
thematically follow up on his work and continue a critical analysis
of his critical philosophy of religion."
