Synopsis

According to Charles Taylor, defining the concept of nature is the peculiar task of philosophy. The Canadian philosopher refers to a gap in our cultural history, in which nature primarily adopts the role of the other (be it as opposed to culture, mind, freedom and so forth). Participating in this process, theology faces a variety of essential anthropological, christological, soteriological, eschatological, but also cosmological questions. This is shown by the contributors of this volume. Dealing with nature and order (Volker Leppin), nature and freedom (Elisabeth Grab-Schmidt), nature and grace (Eilert Herms), nature, religion and culture (Martina Kumlehm), nature and cosmos (Hermann Deuser) they show that the concept and understanding of nature shapes human thought and action, without being static or timelessly defined.
