Freud And Augustine In Dialogue - Psychoanalysis, Mysticism, And The Culture Of Modern Spirituality

de William B. Parsons

34,45€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <DIV><P><P>"It is arguably the case," writes William Parsons, "that no two figures have had more influence on the course of Western introspective thought than Freud and Augustine." Yet it is commonly assumed that Freud and Augustine would have nothing to say to each other with regard to spirituality or mysticism, given the former''s alleged antipathy to religion and the latter''s not usually being considered a mystic.</P><P>Adopting an interdisciplinary, dialogical, and transformational framework for interpreting Augustine''s spiritual journey in his <I>Confessions,</I> Parsons places a "mystical theology" at the heart of Augustine''s narrative and argues that his mysticism has been misunderstood partly because of the limited nature of the psychological models applied to it. At the same time, he expands Freud''s therapeutic legacy to incorporate the contemporary findings of physiology and neuroscience that have been influenced in part by modern spirituality.</P><P>Parsons develops a new psychological hermeneutic to account for Augustine''s mysticism that will capture the imagination of contemporary readers who are both psychologically informed and interested in spirituality. The author intends this interpretive model not only to engage modern introspective concerns about developmental conflict and the power of the unconscious but also to reach a more nuanced level of insight into the origins and the nature of the self.</P></P></DIV>

Vigilant Faith - Passionate Agnosticism In A Secular World

de Daniel Boscaljon

34,45€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <DIV><P><P>In <I>Vigilant Faith: Passionate Agnosticism in a Secular World,</I> Daniel Boscaljon takes up the contemporary challenges to faith by skepticism and secularism. He proposes a model of faith for believers and unbelievers alike—a passionate agnosticism—that is rooted in a skeptical consciousness. Skepticism and faith are structurally similar, he writes, in that they share an "unknowing" quality. The author argues that vigilance—the act of keeping watch, a spiritual practice in its own right—is as necessary a precondition for the structure of faith as it is for the structure of skepticism. A suspension in uncertainty and an openness to possibility require vigilance, he attests, if faith and skepticism are to avoid the often dogmatic tendencies of both theism and atheism to cling to their own brands of certainty and knowledge.</P><P>Boscaljon has three aims: to expand the current, post-theistic definitions of God for greater relevance to human beings on an individual and existential level; to integrate skepticism into faith so that it will restore the importance of faith to current theology and recover it from anti-intellectual bias; and to conceptualize the vigilance of faith in such a way that can provide a vocabulary for distinguishing "good faith" from "bad faith." He offers a variety of cultural examples ranging from film to poetry to represent a life of faith and to show how its components come together in practice. As an alternative to the prevailing fundamentalisms in today''s world, his book proposes a paradigmatic understanding of faith in which theism, atheism, and agnosticism refuse to differ.</P></P></DIV>

Textual Intimacy - Autobiography And Religious Identities

de Wesley A. Kort

38,43€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <DIV><P>Given its affinity with questions of identity, autobiography offers a way into the interior space between author and reader, especially when writers define themselves in terms of religion. In his exploration of this "textual intimacy," Wesley Kort begins with a theorization of what it means to say who one is and how one''s self-account as a religious person stands in relation to other forms of self-identification. He then provides a critical analysis of autobiographical texts by nine contemporary American writers—including Maya Angelou, Philip Roth, and Anne Lamott—who give religion a positive place in their accounts of who they are. Finally, in disclosing his own religious identity, Kort concludes with a meditation on several meanings of the word <I>assumption.</I></P></DIV>
