Abstract Even as theopoetics turns to literary structures and grammatology to arbitrate between an Absolute and Absolute meaninglessness, John Caputo and David Miller are careful to separate its project from theopoetry’s representations of God. But this division makes little provision for figures like Denise Levertov, whose work suggests that the religious question is an inherently aesthetic one, that this arbitration can happen through representation. This article reads Levertov’s ‘The Tide’ in order to define a mode of signification unbound to spiritual fixity. Through its characterisation of both form and faith as process, ‘The Tide’ offers a new way of negotiating the relationship between literature and theology.

This article suggests that bringing Jewish literature and Jewish thought into conversation can deepen our understanding of each. As an illustration of this interdisciplinary methodology, I offer a reading of Cynthia Ozick's 1987 Messiah of Stockholm. I claim that Ozick has embedded an argument about the relationship of post-Holocaust Jewry to the past into the literary features of her novel. Her argument draws in particular upon Leo Baeck's account of Judaism as focused on the present and future in contrast to the worshipful approach to the past characteristic of other religions. At the same time, I offer a more nuanced take on the fear of idolatry so often noted in analyses of Ozick's work and situate that fear in relationship to the literary theories of her predecessor Bruno Schulz, who plays a key role in the novel, and her contemporary Harold Bloom.

The chapter presents different sections addressing the reception of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s work by Catholic thinkers in 20th and 21st centuries (Romano Guardini, Divo Barsotti, Luigi Giussani, partly Henri De Lubac). The aim of the work is not only to present some “Catholic” interpretations of Dostoevsky’s novels but, most particularly, to analyze them as a vivid dialogue that leads to the question of the interaction between literature and theology and offers an example of the capacity of Dostoevsky’s text to witness and pass on an experience of faith. To Catholic authors, the relationship of Dostoevsky with Christ appears to be the most interesting yet most elusive factor in the work of the Russian writer and it is highlighted as one of the most intriguing questions for further research.

يهدف هذا البحث إلى إبراز حضور التصوف اليهودي الباطني "القبالي" في نتاج الفيلسوف اليهودي الفرنسي جاك دريدا، وذلك بدراسة العلاقة بين الأدب الفلسفي واللاهوت أولاً، ثم التعريف بالتصوف اليهودي الباطني المعروف باسم القبالة، ثم التعريف الموجز بجاك دريدا وبعض اللحظات المهمة في مسيرته. بعد ذلك، توقَّف البحث عند مقالين قيِّمين للدارسة سوزان هاندلمان، والباحث إليوت وولفسون، اللذينِ أكَّدا -على التوالي- تأثُّر دريدا بالتصوف القبالي وتقاطعه معه. وأخيراً، عرض البحث لمثال تطبيقي على ذلك الحضور القبالي في نص دريدا. This critical study seeks to highlight the influence and presence of the Jewish Mystical tradition, Kabbalah, in the work of the French Jewish philosopher Jacques Derrida. The study initially tries to study the relationship between philosophy, literature, and theology. Then, it provides a short biography of Derrida and a basic definition of the Kabbalah. The paper critically discusses two important works, by Susan Handelman and Elliot Wolfson, on the influence and convergence of Kabbalah and Derrida’s work. As a practical example the study shows the presence of Kabbalah in two passages from Derrida.

In this chapter Marion distinguishes between history of philosophy and philosophy of history. He explains the importance of knowing the history of philosophy and being familiar with its central debates for rigorous philosophical work in the present. He argues for a direct relationship between great philosophers. In this context he briefly evaluates the relationship between analytical and continental philosophy. He addresses the role art, literature, and theology/religion can play in philosophical investigation. Overall, he argues for rigorous work on the phenomena as they appear and give themselves. He concludes with a brief discussion of the role of psychoanalysis.

A review is given of information on the galactic-centre region obtained from recent observations of the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen, the 18-cm group of OH lines, a hydrogen recombination line at 6 cm wavelength, and the continuum emission from ionized hydrogen.Both inward and outward motions are important in this region, in addition to rotation. Several types of observation indicate the presence of material in features inclined to the galactic plane. The relationship between the H and OH concentrations is not yet clear, but a rough picture of the central region can be proposed.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Abstract This commentary focuses upon the relationship between two themes in the target article: the ways in which a Markov blanket may be defined and the role of precision and salience in mediating the interactions between what is internal and external to a system. These each rest upon the different perspectives we might take while “choosing” a Markov blanket.

Abstract Cognitive Gadgets offers a new, convincing perspective on the origins of our distinctive cognitive faculties, coupled with a clear, innovative research program. Although we broadly endorse Heyes’ ideas, we raise some concerns about her characterisation of evolutionary psychology and the relationship between biology and culture, before discussing the potential fruits of examining cognitive gadgets through the lens of active inference.
