En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar la propuesta del concepto de femenino en el pensamiento de Friedrich Schleiermacher, un análisis no muy común cuando se trata de uno de los principales teólogos modernos. Sin embargo, pocos saben que Schleiermacher ha sido entre los primeros filósofos que eleva el tema de lo femenino a objeto de reflexión filosófica. Por lo cual, nos proponemos, partiendo de su escrito llamado Cartas Confidenciales a la novela Lucinde de Friedrich Schlegel, comprender el valor de la virtud femenina necesaria crear comunidad y cultura. Para esto, primero presentaremos un breve contexto en el cual surge el pensamiento de Friedrich Schleiermacher; después expondremos la intención y el mensaje de la novela Lucinde de Friedrich Schlegel, para de allí analizar cuál fue la intención de Schleiermacher al escribir la Cartas Confidenciales y como llega a considerar que uno de los principios fundamentales de la vida ética es una virtud femenina. La vigencia de esta propuesta de Schleiermacher para nuestros tiempos es muy importante para hacernos comprender hoy que lo femenino no se tiene que imponer mediante una ideología de género, sino que la mujer tiene que aprender descubrir y valorar lo valiosos en su propia naturaleza para así contribuir, como siempre lo ha hecho, al desarrollo de la cultura.

Even though Germany’s colonial empire lasted merely three decades, from 1884 to 1915, German colonial fantasies shaped intellectual production from the late eighteenth century onward. This cultural climate shapes a great variety of engagements with the Bible, from the beginnings of liberal theology with Friedrich Schleiermacher to missionary efforts and the rather abstract academic productions of biblical scholarship in the late nineteenth century, including the prominent history of religions school. At the same time, there are also efforts to resist colonial tendencies, sometimes in the work of the same authors who otherwise perpetuate the colonial spirit.

Abstract The main scheme of creation in Zoroastrian Pahlavi literature is adopted from the Young Avesta. In this scheme Ohrmazd creates the world in the manner of a skillful craftsman who conceives of the form of his product and then fashions it in matter. The number of the constituents of the world and the sequence in which they are created are already fixed in the Avesta. Pahlavi authors draw on Greek philosophical tradition to rationalise their account of the creation of the world. The article also explores some of the complications that their philosophical elaboration of the Avestan scheme occasions.

AbstractIn response to the contemporary ecological movement, ecological perspectives have become a significant theme in the theology of creation. This paper asks whether antecedents to this growing significance might predate the concerns of our times and be discernible within the diverse interests of nineteenth-century Anglican thinking. The means used here to examine this possibility is a close reading of B. F. Westcott's ‘Gospel of Creation’. This will be contextualized in two directions: first with reference to the understanding of the natural world in nineteenth-century English popular thought, and secondly with reference to the approach taken to the doctrine of creation by three late twentieth-century Anglican writers, two concerned with the relationship between science and theology in general, and a third concerned more specifically with ecology.
