Paperback. Condizione: Good. How should philosophy approach what by definition surpasses its competence? Can it do more than describe the religious experience without discussing its object? Can religion make genuine truth claims -- especially when so much suffering and evil in the world seem to go against them? These are some of the basic questions raised in the first part of this collection of essays by Louis Dupré. A philosophical analysis of faith must take account of the unique system of symbols in which it expresses its belief, rituals, and modes of worship. The justification of religious symbols has become a particular problem in an age that tends to separate the objective from the subjective, interpreting the former literally and denying objective reality to the latter. In essays on von Balthasar's theory of religious form and on the nature of ritual, Dupré attempts to restore the original meaning of religious symbols, while integrating them with the modern emphasis on human creativity. Only after having secured the intrinsically symbolic nature of the religious act can philosophy discuss the religious experience without running the risk of ending in pure subjectivism. The third part of this work is devoted to the mystical experience as well as to the low-key religious experience characteristic of believers living an a secular culture. In the light of a negative theology (in which this entire work was written), the two appear to have surprisingly much in common.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. The prestige of the Enlightenment has declined in recent years. Many consider its thinking abstract, its art and poetry uninspiring, and the assertion that it introduced a new age of freedom and progress after centuries of darkness and superstition presumptuous. In this book, an eminent scholar of modern culture shows that the Enlightenment was a more complex phenomenon than most of its detractors and advocates assume. It includes rationalist as well as antirationalist tendencies, a critique of traditional morality and religion as well as an attempt to establish them on new foundations, even the beginning of a moral renewal and a spiritual revival. The Enlightenment's critique of tradition was a necessary consequence of the fundamental modern principle that we humans are solely responsible for the course of history. Hence we can accept no belief, no authority, no institutions that are not in some way justified. This foundation, for better or for worse, determined the course of the following centuries. Despite contemporary reactions against it, the Enlightenment continues to shape our own time and still distinguishes Western culture from any other.…
