Convergence And Divergence

In this commentary, I discuss my main points of convergence and divergence with Mark Solms' conception of consciousness presented in his very stimulating opus, The Hidden Spring, and then frame two proposals to integrate some of his key concepts into the global neuronal workspace theory (GNWT) of consciousness.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo uma investigação de possíveis atravessamentos da filosofia de Friedrich Nietzsche na psicanálise de Sigmund Freud. Esclarece, em primeiro lugar, a controversa relação de Freud com a filosofia de maneira geral, ressaltando uma postura inicial de entusiasmo por este campo do saber, depois de recusa e afastamento aparentemente intencional. Entende que este distanciamento é um posicionamento político por parte de Freud para evitar demasiadas influências externas na formulação de sua teoria. Depois, destaca as menções a Nietzsche encontradas ao longo da obra freudiana e, por fim, examina as incidências do filósofo que poderiam ser encontradas na psicanálise. Através desta análise percebe-se como Freud, apesar de declarar não conhecer a obra de Nietzsche, demonstra leitura e conhecimento dela. Conclui destacando que o conceito freudiano de inconsciente e o de Além-do-homem nietzschiano, aqui eleitos como conceitos-chave para pensar esses atravessamentos, marcam pontos privilegiados de convergência e divergência para ambos os autores.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Psicanálise. Filosofia. Consciente. Inconsciente. Além-do-homem. ABSTRACTThe present article aims at an investigation of possible incidence of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy in Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis. It clarifies, firstly, Freud's controversial relationship with philosophy in general, emphasizing an initial posture of enthusiasm for this field of knowledge, and then apparently an intentional refusal and withdrawal from it. It understands that Freud`s detachment is a political position on his part to avoid too many outside influences in the formulation of his theory. It then highlights the references to Nietzsche found throughout the Freudian work and, finally, examines the incidences of the philosopher that could be found in psychoanalysis. It concludes by pointing out that the Freudian concept of the unconscious and that of the Nietzschean Übermensch, here as key concepts for thinking about these intersections, mark privileged points of convergence and divergence for both authors.KEYWORDS: Psychoanalysis, Philosophy.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Adam Smith are two of the foremost thinkers of the European Enlightenment, thinkers who made seminal contributions to moral and political philosophy and who shaped some of the key concepts of modern political economy. Among Smith’s first published works was a letter to the Edinburgh Review where he discusses Rousseau’s Discourse on the Origin of Inequality. Smith continued to engage with Rousseau’s work and to explore many shared themes such as sympathy, political economy, sentiment, and inequality. This collection brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of Adam Smith and Rousseau scholars to provide an exploration of the key shared concerns of these two great thinkers in politics, philosophy, economics, history, and literature.

Divine Truth

This article explores how the uniqueness of the Qur'anic revelation has been perceived by primarily Sunnī Muslim commentators through time in the context of four main analytical aspects of revelation: (i) revelation as communication between God and humans that links language to divine truth; (ii) revelation as both oral and written text that points to complementary modes of divine discourse; (iii) revelation as purposeful manifestation of divine mercy and justice; and finally (iv) the idea of revelation as beautiful and inimitable text that invites the human recipient to ponder the aesthetics of divine self-disclosure which becomes reflected in Islamic theology as the doctrine of iʿjāz al-Qurʾān. These aspects are indicated by certain key concepts and terms derived from the Qur'anic vocabulary itself and are discussed in detail in order to illuminate the nature of the Qur'anic revelation—as adumbrated within the Qur'an itself and as elaborated upon by its human exegetes. The Arabic word for the phenomenon of revelation is waḥy and is, strictly speaking, applied to the Qur'an alone. In the Qur'an, the term wahy and its derivatives frequently occur with reference to God and His communication with humankind, although exceptions exist. Tanzīl is another Qur'anic lexeme that refers uniquely to God's direct communication with humanity. In the understanding of a number of influential commentators, both these terms also imply linguistic and rhetorical excellence as a component of divine revelation recognisable in all four of the aspects identified here.

“Proclaiming Together”? Convergence and Divergence in Mainline and Evangelical Evangelism, 1945-1967

Dividing Line

By now, it is a commonplace of the American religious scene that the majority of the nation's white Protestant Christians are split into “two parties.” The ideological dividing line runs between “mainline” denominations—Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians—and a bevy of conservative denominations and groups, but it also cuts through the mainline itself, which contains a substantial contingent of conservatives.Among the two parties' numerous disagreements, theological and political, few have run deeper and longer than their difference over the meaning and importance of evangelism, the activity of “proclaiming the gospel” to those outside the Christian community. Is the church's prime call in this regard to seek conversions to the Christian faith, or is it to show the love of Christ by working for charitable goals and social justice? A well-known 1973 study of Presbyterian clergy found that the greatest polarization between self-described “conservatives” and “liberals” came over the relative priority of evangelism and social action. Indeed, the fight over these goals was an important (though by no means the only) factor precipitating the “split” early in this century.

Both Pope Francis and Robert Schreiter recognize that the world has been profoundly affected by conflict, globalization, and the breakdown of relationships on multiple levels. They also assert that the Church must address these situations. The ecclesiologies of both Schreiter and Francis offer effective tools for this work. This article will examine several key, shared concepts within their ecclesiologies. Specifically, their understandings of the missionary nature of the Church and their robust understanding of catholicity prove to be key concepts in the Church's response to a world marred by sin.
