Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Introducing the concept of cinematic education - defined as pedagogy infused by the moving image - this volume explores the historical, theoretical, and practical basis for using film in kindergarten through post-secondary classrooms. Its scholarly inquiry into the meaning film can bring to teaching and learning extends a vast literature on film theory. At the same time it broadens the scope of cultural studies in education to include a more thorough consideration of the day-to-day political dimensions of the cinematic in K-12 public and private classrooms. 178 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Constantine R. Campbell continues the work begun in his previous volume, Verbal Aspect, the Indicative Mood, and Narrative: Soundings in the Greek of the New Testament. In this book, he investigates the function of verbal aspect in non-indicative Greek verbs, which are of great significance for the translation and exegesis of Biblical texts. Campbell demonstrates that the model developed in his first volume provides strong power of explanation for the workings of non-indicative verbs, and challenges some of the conclusions reached by previous scholarship. 170 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book is located at the interface of online learning within a context of English language studies and academic literacy and is underpinned, from a critical theoretical perspective, by an understanding of the implications of the digital divide for developing countries worldwide. The work is an exploration of online learning in an undergraduate English language and academic literacy classroom at a university in South Africa, and theorises the need for technology in developing countries as a means of social inclusion. The aim is to explore the extent to which communities of practice are enabled in an online environment, among English non-mother tongue speakers from technologically under-resourced backgrounds. This study examines the extent to which the students participate, negotiate meaning, and construct identities in online spaces. From a sociocultural perspective this book locates learning as a form of interaction and co-participation, and argues that learning occurs within specific contexts, hence the focus on how individuals become members of 'communities of practice'. 268 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Mount Athos has been exercising its magnetic attraction on monks and pilgrims for over a thousand years. As the papers collected in this volume show (many of them delivered at a conference convened in Helsinki in 2006 to mark the opening of an exhibition of treasures of Mount Athos), monks have been drawn to its forests, cliffs, and caves in search of tranquillity and the inspiring teaching of charismatic elders since the ninth century. Through the Hesychastic renewal which began on Athos in the late Middle Ages the Holy Mountain acquired unprecedented importance throughout the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and Russia and rapidly extended its spiritual influence from the Mediterranean to the White Sea. Many of the papers are concerned with aspects of pilgrimage to Athos and the effect that a visit to the Mountain has on pilgrims' lives. Today the magnetism has lost none of its force and, despite threats to its environment and its unique way of life, Athos continues to operate as a spiritual powerhouse offering refreshment to all who turn to it. 198 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The process of devolution in the United Kingdom (UK) established new institutions at the sub-state level with a range of legislative and executive competencies. Yet many of these devolved powers also have a European Union (EU) dimension, whilst EU policy remains a formally reserved power of the UK central government.This book explores how this multi-level relationship has been managed in practice, examining the participation of the devolved Scottish and Welsh institutions in the domestic process of formulating the UK¿s EU policy positions during their first four-year term. It also places their experiences in a broader comparative framework by drawing upon the experiences of multi-level governance in practice in other Member States of the EU. 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -«Re-Engineering» Dual Training ¿ The Malaysian Experience shows how a new industrial country is successfully pursuing the aim to ensure the extremely swift increase of economic development by initiatives and concepts for the qualification of skilled workers. This publication reflects the analysis of best practice in training which centers around the workplace in lead countries as well as the philosophy, policies and procedures of the emerging Malaysian National Dual Training System. Excellence in high-tech work must be based on excellence in training. Training based on targeting specific competencies was seen as a way to achieve this excellence. However, this apparently logical approach, which seemed to make it the panacea for meeting today¿s pressing high-tech training needs, has failed to keep its promise. Yet, its undisputable contribution to the development of highly effective training has been to create awareness that the necessary accountability of training can only be secured through the definition of occupational standards. However, when they only reflect the immediate work which has to be carried out at the workplace, occupational standards seemingly fall short. The rapidly changing context of work also needs to be reflected, and therefore a new focus on the workprocess is needed to guide the necessary reorientation in training. 184 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Puzzling the Reader establishes the place of charms and riddles in nineteenth-century British literature by exploring the literary and political work riddles performed at cultural thresholds: courtship, initiation, death rituals, moments of greeting, and intercultural relations. Furthermore, Puzzling the Reader investigates the new narrative genre that riddles uncover by transforming traditional narrative techniques. Far from disappearing from view, the oral tradition of the riddles rises into view alongside the literary narratives of William Blake, John Keats, and Charles Dickens. The folk tradition of the riddle is imported into print media and reaches its zenith in the nineteenth century. Through analyses of riddles in weekly literature and satire magazines, parlor game books, and popular collected riddles, such as Queen Victoria's «Windsor Enigma», this volume examines the literary and political roles riddles play as they migrate into mass print culture. Three crucial texts illustrate this argument: Blake's «Jerusalem», Keats's «The Eve of St. Agnes», and Dickens's Our Mutual Friend. Each is a work of formal experimentation and each typifies the full range of word play in the period. From Blake to Keats to Dickens, nineteenth-century British literature charts a «history» of the literary riddle. 146 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The Second World War marked an ethical turn in British fiction. The author of this study demonstrates this by closely examining John Fowles¿s and Iris Murdoch¿s works as post-war meta-textual magical-realist novels interested in ethics and the nature of contemporary reality. These ethical novels transcend mere morality to explore the essence of the Good. Through paradigms of human experience, they direct our attention towards the Other and impart moral principles based on acts of Goodness.The author assesses the moral intimations in Fowles¿s The Magus and Murdoch¿s The Sea, the Sea in the context of their philosophical writings, mainly The Aristos and Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals respectively. She shows that Fowles and Murdoch endeavour to instruct the reader morally through the accessible language of fiction. 344 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This volume is a collection of contributions from an international conference on the Post-PISA discussion and results from research projects housed at Zentrum für Schul- und Bildungsforschung at the university of Halle-Wittenberg (ZSB). The focus in the German, Swedish, English, and Dutch discussion was on the restrictions of central educational establishments for children and adolescents. Instead of limiting the educational processes of young people to school alone, this investigation emphasizes the interdependencies of school, family, and the peer cultures of children and youngsters, as well as the interplay of interaction and the production of inequalities between children and adolescents via selection procedures and processes of differentiation. 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Harry Potter¿s global triumph is without precedent. Economically it is the most successful children¿s book ever published and at the same time it has become the most widely discussed text for young adults. Why is this so What does the text offer to its readers Muggles, Monsters and Magicians deals with these issues and answers these questions. On the basis of a carefully conducted text-based analysis of the whole series it argues that, from a purely literary point of view, Pottermania is not entirely comprehensible. It identifies Rowling¿s narrative techniques, explains the world view underlying this series and links it to the literary genres of children¿s and fantastic literature. 484 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book is a comprehensive study of the work of the American author Norman Mailer, charting his response to critical events in his country¿s development since 1945. Focusing on Mailer¿s descriptions of World War II, 1960s counter-culture, the Vietnam War, the Apollo 11 mission and the execution of Gary Gilmore in Utah in 1977, the book analyses the native vernaculars in ten of his most critically acclaimed works. Moving beyond politically orientated scholarship, the author outlines Mailer¿s New York, American GI, Mid-West and Southern styles, contextualising his prose against earlier American authors, including Henry Adams, Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos, and positioning his writing alongside contemporary notables such as Joan Didion, William Burroughs and Truman Capote. Incorporating over forty years of scholarship in the form of articles, reviews and interviews, this book pinpoints the American attributes in Mailer¿s writing with a view to identifying trends in post-war American literary movements, the Beat Generation, New Journalism and Pop Art among others. 274 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In the decade following the success of Waiting for Godot (1952), Samuel Beckett wrote some of his most absorbing work for radio. These plays display the author's appreciation of the essential properties of radio broadcasting. They also highlight a profound musicality which, while evident in his novels, poetry and plays, is particularly noteworthy in this medium. This book is an analysis of the contribution made to radio drama by Beckett. In these plays, he is concerned with themes of human isolation and the frailty of memory and communication. He identified radio as an ideal medium for the presentation of these themes and the development of drama which could transcend the limitations of realism. Beckett used music as an essential component of his radio output for a variety of purposes. In this study, the author argues that, while Beckett's radio plays are suffused with a bleak sense of disintegration of language, music offers a sense of optimism. A variety of musical and performance perspectives is utilised to gain a greater appreciation of these radio plays. 268 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Theorists in the humanities and social sciences are increasingly aware of the need to account for the dynamic role played by spatial factors in nearly every domain of human experience. Theatre, as an art form that is utterly dependent on its own spatiality, has a major contribution to make to contemporary debates about space and place. In this book, academics from Australian departments of theatre and performance studies are joined by others from anthropology, cultural and environmental studies as well as site-based performance makers, in order to explore the nexus between place and performance in practices ranging from mainstream theatre and site-specific performance to political demonstrations, rituals of commemoration and social display. While the places and performances they describe are necessarily local, the issues raised are not peculiar to Australia and will resonate with people in many countries where incoming settlers have displaced indigenous populations, where large-scale migration has unsettled resident populations, where atrocities have been committed (in peacetime as well as war) and people have somehow to find ways to live in places marked by the memory of trauma. The book ends with a theoretical afterword by anthropologist Lowell Lewis, proposing some important refinements to ongoing critical discourse about space and place. 308 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Marriage as Political Strategy and Cultural Expression is the first comprehensive study of Mongolian royal marriages from World Empire (1206-1279) to the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) in Asia. This study examines the Mongolian royal family¿s marriage strategies and the political implications of these royal marriages, specifically, the intermarriages between the Mongolian royal house and its allies, including the Onggirat, the Oirat, and other Mongol peoples as well as the Uighur State and Korea in Central and East Asia. This book concludes that the short lifespans of Mongol royalty after Khubilai Khan were the result of consanguineous marriage and inbreeding ¿ genetic factors that contributed to the collapse of the Mongol dynasty. 338 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Canonical but controversial works of radical modernism, John Dos Passos' novels continue to intrigue readers and challenge literary critics with their unique styles and provocative messages. This book offers an insightful and refreshing perspective on his fictional world, exploring the historical vision and utopian aspirations of his early novels in light of their dialectical politics in narrating modern American society. History and Utopian Disillusion convincingly shows that Dos Passos' epic-scale project is a radical hymn of faith dialectically inspiring the utopian resolution of American history by presenting entropic despair and disillusionment. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book investigates Heiner Müller¿s use of the Geschichtsdrama as a tool in his search for post-World War II and post-reunification German identity in Germania Tod in Berlin (1956/1971) and Germania 3 Gespenster am Toten Mann (1996), respectively. By using specific examples organized into relevant categories, the author demonstrates not only how these historical, allegorical, and political persons and events have affected the course of German history in Müller¿s opinion, but also how he believes they have influenced German identity of the past and present and may affect its future. In her analyses of these two dramas, the author explores the many historical, political, and allegorical characters as well as the abundant intertextual references by locating their original sources in order to explain their significance as each relates to Müller¿s perception of German identity at various points in time. The research focuses on Müller¿s use of the literary techniques of intertextuality, collage, metaphors, allegorical figures, political songs, ballads, and fairy tales. The methodological approach is eclectic: a mixture of New Criticism, New Historicism, and Rezeptionsästhetik. 456 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The transition from Latin to vernacular languages in the late Middle Ages and the dramatic rise of a new readership produced a huge bulk of translations, particularly of religious literature in its various genres. The solutions are so multifarious that they defy any attempt to outline general theories. This is particularly visible when the same text is translated or rewritten at different times and in different languages or genres.Through a minute analysis of texts this book aims at highlighting lexical, syntactic and stylistic choices dictated not only by the source but also by new readers and patrons, or by new destinations of the works. Established categories such as ¿literalness¿ and ¿fidelity¿ are thus questioned and integrated with these other factors which, while being more ¿external¿, do nonetheless impinge on the very idea of ¿translation¿, and consequently on its assessment. Far from being a mere transfer from one language to another, a medieval translation verges on a form of creative writing, and as such its study becomes a fascinating investigation into the very process of textual production.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 436 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Le comique verbal, à cause de son enracinement dans la forme du signe linguistique et dans la culture, est souvent considéré dans la prose littéraire comme à la limite du traduisible. Cet ouvrage entreprend la discussion d¿un tel stéréotype. Sa problématique se situe au sein de la critique de la traduction. L¿auteur applique la méthodologie de la critique positive d¿Antoine Berman à un corpus de six romans de Boris Vian et de leurs traductions polonaises. Les textes choisis sont fortement empreints de jeux de mots et d¿éléments constitutifs du monde surréaliste. L¿objectif est double. Premièrement, l¿analyse des textes d¿arrivée sans rapport avec les originaux permet la délimitation des facteurs assurant le fonctionnement de chaque traduction en tant qü¿uvre littéraire autonome et cohérente. Dans les romans analysés, une fonction particulière se voit attribuée aux procédés métanarratifs, au discours indirect libre et à l¿intertextualité. Deuxièmement, l¿étude comparative des originaux et des traductions mène à une spécification des techniques et des stratégies traductives et, par la suite, des distorsions qüelles entraînent dans les couches linguistique et stylistique et dans l¿univers présenté des romans. 262 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Cet ouvrage a pour objet un problème que les grammairiens et linguistes ont certes souvent pris en compte, mais peu ou mal clarifié : l¿absence possible d¿un déterminant réalisé dans les syntagmes nominaux du français contemporain. Cette particularité syntaxique, loin d¿être exceptionnelle, soulève de nombreuses questions : peut-on ou non, postuler l¿existence d¿un « article zéro » Si oui, quelles en sont les valeurs de signification par opposition aux autres déterminants du système Quelles contraintes d¿ordre syntaxique ou sémantique limitent ou au contraire nécessitent son emploi Pour répondre à ces questions sont notamment abordés et discutés, à l¿aune de leur validité opératoire, des concepts tels que l¿actualisation, la généricité ou encore la massivité. Partant de l¿hypothèse que l¿absence d¿article réalisé en français contemporain peut être décrite comme un procédé régulier doté de significations propres, l¿auteur s¿emploie ensuite, sur la base d¿un corpus d¿exemples authentiques, à cerner les spécificités de l¿article zéro. Au fil des chapitres, des rapprochements de fonctionnement sont soulignés, des suggestions d¿interprétation sont exploitées afin d¿offrir au lecteur une vue d¿ensemble des différents emplois de l¿article zéro.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 196 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Cette recherche présente les points de vue des juristes d'Asie du Sud au XVIIe siècle au sujet de la vie commune entre les musulmans et les non musulmans. Elle compare les avis des juristes sud-asiatiques et ceux d'Asie Centrale et du Moyen-Orient. L'interprétation se focalise dans Al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya al-'Alamgiriyya, oeuvre de droit hanafite achevée en 1674 à Delhi. Grâce à la méthode intertextuelle, l'auteur déduit que les opinions des juristes musulmans forment une opposition entre des notions permissives pluralistes qui favorisent le rapprochement des communautés religieuses d'une part, et les notions non permissives ou anti-pluralistes qui refusent ce type de rapprochement d'autre part. L'analyse de ces normes à travers des sujets sociaux, politiques, religieux et économiques dévoile l'originalité de l'islam indien et son rapport aux autres islams. 270 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Que signifie la laïcité pour l'éducation publique Qu'est-ce que les « affaires de foulard islamique » nous ont appris sur les difficultés inédites auxquelles la laïcité est confrontée Comment aborder les problèmes de la « culture commune », de l'« enseignement des faits religieux » et de la prise en compte du « multiculturalisme » à l'école De quelle façon l'école laïque est-elle concernée par les inégalités sociales Ces questions se posent à toute société laïque dans la définition de son projet éducatif. Ce livre les examine d'un point de vue philosophique donnant une place centrale à la discussion rationnelle tout en s'appuyant sur l'héritage de l'histoire. L'argumentation qu'il développe est mise au service d'une thèse d'ensemble : le terme de laïcité désigne bien sûr la neutralité de l'Etat qui garantit la liberté de conscience. Mais il désigne aussi la recherche des valeurs qui permettent de rassembler ceux que leurs libertés autorisent à se séparer des autres : qu'avons-nous besoin de reconnaître en commun pour « faire société » L'ambition de ce livre est de montrer comment la quête d'une articulation de l'individuel et du commun est mise en oeuvre à l'école aujourd'hui, à quelles difficultés inédites elle est confrontée et quelles solutions peuvent être proposées. 248 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Ce livre a pour objectif la redécouverte de la théorie de la valeur du philosophe autrichien Christian von Ehrenfels; et l'analyse de la possible utilisation de sa théorie dans les sciences économiques actuelles. Après avoir fait connaissance avec Christian von Ehrenfels, l'accent est mis sur l'analyse des principaux traits de sa théorie. Sa complexité fascinante n'a d'égale que la volonté d'exhaustivité du philosophe autrichien. Le débat induit par la discussion sur son utilisation dans les sciences économiques actuelles conduit à la conclusion que le philosophe autrichien a ouvert la voie à une nouvelle perspective sur le processus de valorisation et qu'il mérite à ce titre de sortir de l'oubli. 348 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Le rap est devenu un protagoniste indiscutable de la scène musicale dans le monde entier et notamment en France, devenue le deuxième marché mondial de hip hop. Or, au-delà de ses succès médiatiques et des controverses passées et présentes, qu'est-ce donc que le rap Un effet de mode Une forme de poésie contestataire Un produit de la culture de masse Le dernier-né de la chanson française Le présent ouvrage, en adoptant une démarche rigoureuse mais aussi innovante, veut premièrement présenter le rap comme une expression artistique. À cet effet, le rap sera défini dans ses rapports avec les théories esthétiques et littéraires et dans ses rapports avec l'histoire des formes culturelles. Mais il sera surtout lu, analysé dans ses textes, qui seront interprétés à la recherche des différentes fonctions poétiques. A la croisée du postmodernisme et de la tradition, du parlé et du chanté, de la musique et les lettres, le rap s'avérera être un exemple d'une nouvelle poéticité. 342 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Untersucht wird in diesem Buch ein Verfahren gegen den Erfinder der Buchdruckerkunst Johannes Gutenberg vor dem Mainzer weltlichen Gericht. Kläger war Johannes Fust, der den Druck einer Bibel finanziert hatte, der «Gutenberg-Bibel», die von vielen als das schönste jemals gedruckte Buch angesehen wird. Gutenberg wurde auf Rückzahlung einer sehr hohen Summe verklagt. Gefragt wird, welche Punkte zwischen den Parteien umstritten waren und wie das Gericht jeweils entschieden hat. Die häufig vertretene Auffassung, zur Zeit des Urteils sei Gutenberg zahlungsunfähig gewesen und durch die Entscheidung ins Elend gestürzt worden, wird abgelehnt. Die Arbeit gibt detaillierten Einblick in einen Mainzer Zivilprozess um die Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts am Vorabend der Rezeption. 204 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Seit der Jahrtausendwende ist in Spanien eine Debatte um die lange Zeit verdrängte Bürgerkriegsvergangenheit entbrannt. Dabei muss sich die spanische Öffentlichkeit mit der Frage auseinander setzen, wie ein kollektives Erinnern aussehen kann, angesichts der Tatsache, dass die Zeitzeugen des Bürgerkrieges im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes wegsterben und das Erinnern auf die Nachgeborenen übergeht. Im Unterschied zur gerade erst einsetzenden gesellschaftspolitischen Debatte haben spanische Romanautoren den Bürgerkrieg ohne Rücksicht auf öffentliche oder gar zensurbedingte Vorgaben bereits in der Vergangenheit vielfach literarisch aufgearbeitet und dadurch gesellschaftliche Diskurse immer wieder antizipiert. Auf dem Hintergrund der Geschichte der Gedächtnisromane zum Bürgerkrieg aus der Sicht der Zeitzeugen einerseits und der hoch aktuellen gesellschaftspolitischen Erinnerungsdebatte andererseits untersucht die vorliegende Arbeit anhand ausgewählter Romane von Julio Llamazares, Rafael Chirbes, Manuel Rivas, Javier Cercas, etc. die Frage, auf welche Weise nachgeborene Autoren seit den 80er Jahren der Herausforderung begegnen, eine Vergangenheit darzustellen, die ihnen nur noch in vermittelter Form zugänglich ist. Der Arbeit zu Grunde gelegt werden kulturwissenschaftliche Gedächtniskonzepte, die unter einem generationsspezifischen Blickwinkel betrachtet und mit literaturwissenschaftlichen Ansätzen verknüpft werden.Peter Lang Group AG Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaft, Place de la gare 12, 1003 LAUSANNE 314 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Im Spätherbst 1947, im Alter von nur 26 Jahren, starb in Basel der deutsche Dichter Wolfgang Borchert (geboren 1921 in Hamburg). Er hinterließ ein an Umfang schmales Werk. Doch drückte es nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg das Lebensgefühl einer ganzen Generation aus und bewegt das Lesepublikum bis heute. Zugleich brachte es den Grundimpuls der entstehenden deutschen Friedensbewegung auf den Nenner: das Nein zum Krieg. Seine Dichtungen werden von dem zentralen literarischen Motiv «Krieg und Frieden» beherrscht. Neben der Anklage enthalten sie aber zudem bejahende Grundpositionen («Unser Manifest ist die Liebe»). Im Gedenken an den Dichter veranstaltete die Gewerkschaft ver.di vom 1.-3. Juni 2007 eine Konferenz in Berlin. Hier wurden wichtige Aspekte seiner Biographie, seines Werkes sowie der Borchertforschung, dazu vergleichend Persönlichkeiten und Dichtungen von einigen seiner Zeitgenossen untersucht, bei denen ebenfalls Krieg und Frieden Zentralmotive sind. In diesem Sammelband präsentieren die Herausgeber sämtliche Beiträge der Berliner Konferenz. 308 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In den Essays dieses Buches geht es darum, in problemorientierter Durchmusterung dreier historisch wirksamer Denkansätze Perspektiven für integrale Zukunftsgestaltung zu gewinnen. Thematisiert werden Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), der zu den Pionieren moderner Tiefenpsychologie gezählt wird und in seinen Analysen des «Archetyps» der Trinität ein Modell für menschliche Selbstfindung vorlegt, der protestantische Theologe Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831), der das Trinitarische im Medium seiner aprioristisch deduzierten Dialektik als die alles bewirkende Selbstentfaltung des reinen Begriffes darstellt, der lateinische Kirchenvater Aurelius Augustinus (354-430), der während seiner Auseinandersetzung mit den antiken Skeptikern in menschlicher Geistinnerlichkeit das lebendig pulsierende Ineinander von Sein, Erkennen und Wollen entdeckt und diese onto-logo-ethische Ganzheit als in-ek-kon-sistenzalen Prozess erläutert, welcher, in Bedingtes und Unbedingtes spezifiziert, ein universales Format aufzuweisen hat. In ganzheitlich orientierten Erörterungen wird die unlösbare Verflochtenheit von Welt-, Selbst- und Gotteserkenntnis hervorgehoben. Im Bezug auf Hegel und den (bisweilen) «hegelianisierenden» C. G. Jung ist dabei anzumerken, dass reines Begriffsdenken, das methodisch die Totalabstraktion alles Inhaltlichen voraussetzt, zu einer Hypostasierung des Negativen führt. Die dadurch entstehenden Aporien finden eine Auflösung, sobald die inhaltsbezogene Abstraktion rekultiviert wird und - von Augustinus her - alles Raumzeitliche in spezifisch begrenzter Teilhabe an der an sich unbegrenzten Positivität des trikausalen Seinsgrundes betrachtet wird. Das prozess- und relationstheoretisch interpretierte Theologumenon der Trinität lässt sich, kurz gesagt, als dasjenige auffassen, was es ermöglicht, die in früher Neuzeit entstandene Diastase zwischen Glaubens- und Wissensansprüchen (zwischen einem Fideismus, der nichts wissen will, und einem Rationalismus, der nichts glauben will) zu überwinden. 178 pp. Deutsch.
