Details from the Life of the Bonhoeffer Family: New Insights about the Biography and Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the Memoirs of his Youngest S…
2020
Just recently, the autobiography of Susanne Bonhoeffer, the younger sister of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, has been rediscovered. She has bequeathed an excellent and extensive description of her family’s life and reveals new insights about the Bonhoeffer family and the history of her time. Her work will be a substantial contribution to further research. As the editor of this challenging project, I would like to investigate how this text may affect our perception of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s biography and theology. A lot of information about Dietrich Bonhoeffer is offered in the autobiography of his sister Susanne – last but not least about his time in prison, when Susanne was sent by her family to vis…
Disparition de la dynastie, extinction du culte ? Le cas des Lagides
2018
L’etude qui suit examine le devenir du culte des souverains dans le contexte du repli de la dynastie lagide du bassin egeen, en particulier en Asie Mineure. Si le culte dynastique des Ptolemees semble avoir assez systematiquement disparu dans cette region en meme temps que leur domination, en revanche les cultes que certaines cites grecques instituerent de leur propre chef pour les rois d’Egypte connurent un sort plus contraste : une partie d’entre eux survecut, l’autre s’eteignit. Ces honneurs cultuels etaient souvent decides non pour complaire au pouvoir dominant, mais par reconnaissance envers un souverain qui avait prodigue des bienfaits a la communaute, sentiment qui constitue une caus…
Un dieu peut-il mourir ? Enquête sur la fin des cultes dans l’Antiquité gréco-romaine. Avant-propos
2018
Pour introduire le dossier thematique qui va suivre, on se proposera de mobiliser un tandem conceptuel souvent tres operatoire des qu’il est question de phenomenes se deployant dans le temps, le couple stock/flux. Ainsi, si on prend l’ensemble des cultes antiques en vigueur a un moment donne, il est possible de formaliser cette somme pour l’envisager comme un « stock » de cultes. L’ampleur de ce stock est alors evidemment une question d’echelle et varie selon qu’on s’attache a l’ensemble des ...
Néolibéralisme versus libéralisme ?
2008
On considere souvent le neoliberalisme comme une suite du liberalisme ou une de ses variantes. Or, si l’on considere leurs origines intellectuelles, leur representation de l’individu, la place qu’ils reservent a l’Etat et leur conception de la rationalite, il faut reconnaitre qu’il s’agit plutot de deux courants de pensee differents, voire opposes ou antagonistes.
Le fantôme de Descartes
2012
Trop souvent, on considere l’histoire de la philosophie comme quelque chose de scolaire, qui n’eclaire pas la pensee. Or il en va tout autrement, puisqu’elle nous permet precisement de mieux contrer certains discours du monde contemporain, et d’echapper a l’enfermement du present. Comme le demontre l’exemple de la theorie du dualisme cartesien, qui permet de critiquer de maniere feconde l’approche reductrice des sciences cognitives.
La laïcité, une identité française ?
2016
What should be the right place for religions in France ? Our debates are old and sharp. France has two legislations : a concordat (Napoléon) for two departments and the common rule (1905). The word "Laîcité" was not employed at the beginning, but appears progressively. Do Muslims living in France are changing the concept ? Do they imply a new manner of seeing things ? What are the results of the attacks of 2015 and 2016 on the opinion ? We analyse in this communication for the universities of Bucharest and Craiova articles published in the newspaper Le Monde. What is the reflection about the concept of "laïcité", what are the traditional arguments and the new ones ?
Le absidi nelle prime chiese normanne e nella Cappella Palatina di Palermo
2015
Nei primi decenni del XII secolo si realizzano in Sicilia numerosi edifici religiosi, le cui absidi seguono in genere i modelli bizantini, ma non mancano soluzioni originali. Tra le chiese basiliane del Val Demone si distingue quella dei Santi Pietro e Paolo a Casalvecchio Siculo (1117-1172), la cui abside centrale assume esternamente la forma di una torretta a pianta rettangolare, che include due nicchie pentagonali negli spazi di raccordo con la curva interna. Tutte e tre le absidi della chiesa di Sant’Andrea a Piazza Armerina (ante 1148) presentano esternamente un profilo rettilineo e la massiccia struttura muraria ingloba la torre campanaria. Nella cappella palatina di Palermo, consacra…
Identity Processes in Adulthood: Diverging Domains
2005
Patterns of identity formation were analyzed in a longitudinal framework, from ages 27 to 36 and then to 42 years of age. Information from all 3 ages was available for 197 participants (100 women, 97 men). A variation of Marcia’s (1966) Identity Status Interview included 5 domains: religious beliefs, political identity, occupational career, intimate relationships, and lifestyle. Great variability in identity status assessments was found across the domains at each age level. The domains representing work and family (occupation, relationships, and lifestyle) were more salient for middle- aged adults than were ideological domains (religion and politics). Development along the hypothesized sequ…
Simulating Secularities: Challenges and Opportunities in the Computational Science of (Non)Religion
2021
This article provides scholars of nonreligion and secularism with an introduction to some of the major opportunities and challenges associated with the growing application of computational methods to the phenomena they study. It also illustrates these opportunities and challenges by describing several overlapping research projects and some of the models of (non)religion they have produced. Finally, the article addresses some of the significant philosophical issues surrounding the use of computer modeling and simulation, focusing on the ethical and epistemological concerns that these tools often raise. I invite scholars of nonreligion to consider adding these techniques to their methodologic…
Dimensions of the Relationship between the Individual and Her Unique Worldview Construction
2021
Each individual constructs his own private worldview using elements from established worldview traditions. The biographical character of this formation makes this the individual’s “Unique Worldview Construction” (UWC). The purpose of this theoretical study is to analyse the dynamic relationship between the individual and her own UWC. It describes more how than what he believes in or denies. The variation is exceedingly complex. To make it accessible, the complexity is crystallized into seven dimensions: (1) The authority structure deals with the individual’s perception of herself as being superordinate/subordinate to her own UWC. (2) The importance dimension analyses the span from indiffere…
