Michel Foucault and the enigmatic origins of bio-politics and governmentality
2012
Even a superficial look at the classical ideas and practices of government of populations makes it immediately apparent that there is a peculiarity in Foucault’s genealogy of western bio-politics and governmentality. According to Foucault, western governmental rationality can be traced back to the Judeo-Christian tradition in general and to the Christian ideology and practice of the pastorate in particular. In this article, my purpose is to show that Christianity was not the prelude to what Foucault calls governmentality but rather marked a rupture in the development that started in classical Greece and Rome and continued in early modern Europe. With the rise of Christianity, the majority …
A Unique Case and Opportunity: In Favor of a Study on the UTC Label
2004
I want to concentrate on three broad themes in responding to the papers by Arlt and Collins. The first one is about archives and collecting and what I call the dilemmas of discography. Connected to these dilemmas is the question of the place of popular music within academia and the implications thereof for the distribution of funds. The second one is more concerned with concepts and ideas. And the third one relates to the position of Christianity in the African cultures and history we study and with its position in our academic field. Starting with the first theme, I want to direct our attention to the UTC record collection. For the study of popular African music the UTC series of over 700 …

Karl Holl (1866-1926) – luterański badacz źródeł patrystycznych
2019
Treść niniejszego artykułu została poświęcona badaczowi starożytności chrześcijańskiej, jakim był żyjący na przełomie XIX i XX wieku Karl Holl (1866-1926). Urodzony w rodzinie protestanckiej znacznie angażował się w pogłębienie i rozwój protestantyzmu w Niemczech zarówno aktywnością społeczno-religijną, jak i twórczością pisarską. Obok tego pasma działalności w jego życiu okazał się on ponadto wybitnym historykiem, publikując także przyczynki naukowe odnoszące się do starożytności chrześcijańskiej. Spośród nich na szczególną wzmiankę zasługują wydania krytyczne obejmujące pisma Epifaniusza. Śmiało zaprezentował bowiem swój punkt widzenia w kwestii autorstwa utworów ukazujących Epifaniusza j…

Cristianesimo e modernità politica. il problema teologico-politico nell'ultimo Kant
2021
In this paper I will analyse the religious issue in the late Kantian work. I argue that Kant’s reflections on Christianity have to be strictly connected with those on law and history. This connection lead us to the political theological problem which is crucial in the case of Hegel as well. In the Encyclopedia Hegel explicitly takes inspiration from Kant who thinks that the problem of that age is the relation between religion and law. That is why Kant cannot be considered a liberal thinker because religion is not a mere private question for him but it has a public importance within his modern conception of history. In this sense, I also argue that Kant’s judg-ment on Christianity is more ne…

Muhammad – Prophet auch für Christen?
2018
In this article a question is raised if it is possible for Christians to recognize Muhammad as an authentic prophet. From the point of view of religious studies Muhammad is obviously a prophet and Islam is a prophetic religion. Still, in the light of Christian theology that in Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, sees the fulfiment of the Old Testament prophecies, recognizing Muhammad as a prophet is highly problematic. Granting Muhammad the prophet status would mean the recognition of the Koran as the authentic Word of God. Meanwhile, the picture of Jesus in the Koran in many places opposes the one presented in the New Testament and the Church Tradition of the Church. It is all the more…
