Without God or His Doubles : Realism, Relativism and Rorty /
:
Without God or His Doubles offers a sympathetic, but critical interpretation of the philosophy of Richard Rorty. Rorty is one of the most widely discussed of contemporary philosophers, but there exist few attempts to deal with the full scope of Rorty's writings in a systematic fashion. This book shows that the unifying theme that runs through Rorty's writings on epistemology, the philosophy of science, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of language, and political philosophy is a quasi-religious conception of human creativity and human freedom. In other words, Rorty's attempt to avoid both realism and relativism is best understood in relationship to his claim that traditional philosophy has been god-obsessed. The animating spirit of Rorty's philosophy is to complete the Enlightenment project, to completely wean philosophy away from both God and the various god-doubles (Reason, Nature, Mind, Man, Science, Art). Rorty believes that a radical secularity will result in a kind of human emancipation and a heightened sense of human freedom. The book concludes with a critique of Rorty's proposal for philosophy and culture after the final departure of all the gods.

Beyond Schools: Muḥammad born Ibrāhīm al-Wazīrʼs (d. 840/1436) Epistemology of Ambiguity.
:
In Beyond Schools: Muḥammad born Ibrāhīm al-Wazīrʼs (d. 840/1436) Epistemology of Ambiguity , Damaris Wilmers provides the first extensive analysis of Ibn al-Wazīrʼs thought and its role in the "Sunnisation of the Zaydiyya", emphasizing its significance for conflicts between schools of thought and law beyond the Yemeni context. Contrasting Ibn al-Wazīrʼs works with those of his Zaydi contemporary Aḥmad born Yaḥyā born al-Murtaḍā, Damaris Wilmers offers a study of a number of heretofore unedited texts from 9th/15th century Yemen when Zaydi identity was challenged by an increasing theological and legal diversity. She shows how Ibn al-Wazīr, who has been classed with different schools, actually de-emphasized school affiliation and developed an integrative approach based on a unique theory of knowledge.

Moskau - Indien - Bonn : "Entwicklungszusammenarbeit" durch das Prisma der Hüttenwerke Bhilai und Rourkela 1955-1965 /
:
Der Kampf um die sogenannten Herzen und Köpfe während des Kalten Krieges erlebte im Indien der späten 1950er Jahre einen direkten Vergleich zwischen Ost und West. Zeitgleich wurden ab 1955 in zwei bis dato unbekannten indischen Dörfern zwei Hüttenwerke errichtet - in Rourkela mithilfe der Bundesrepublik, in Bhilai mit Unterstützung der Sowjetunion. Der sich daraufhin entwickelnde Wettlauf umfasste nicht nur technische Aspekte, sondern auch Transfers im Bereich der auswärtigen Kulturpolitik sowie beim Faktor Mensch. "̌Moskau - Indien - Bonn" zeichnet die Verbindungen und Verflechtungen der drei Länder im Rahmen der zwei Hüttenwerkprojekte nach und stellt sie in den Kontext einer internationalen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit.

Sources of evil : studies in Mesopotamian exorcistic lore /
:
Sources of Evil: Studies in Mesopotamian Exorcistic Lore is a collection of thirteen essays on the body of knowledge employed by ancient Near Eastern healing experts, most prominently the 'exorcist' and the 'physician', to help patients who were suffering from misfortunes caused by divine anger, transgressions of taboos, demons, witches, or other sources of evil. The volume provides new insights into the two most important catalogues of Mesopotamian therapeutic lore, the Exorcist's Manual and the Aššur Medical Catalogue, and contains discussions of agents of evil and causes of illness, ways of repelling evil and treating patients, the interpretation of natural phenomena in the context of exorcistic lore, and a description of the symbolic cosmos with its divine and demonic inhabitants.

"Our house is on fire" : Theater / Drama / Theatertext und Klimakrise /
:
Der Band untersucht, wie Theater und Dramatik Klimakrise und Artensterben als konkrete Realität darstellen, neue ästhetische Formen entwickeln und nichtmenschliche Akteur:innen einbeziehen, um über die Reflexion hinaus zum Handeln zu bewegen. Klimawandel und Artensterben sind seit Jahrzehnten bekannt, doch weiterhin scheuen viele die Konsequenzen notwendiger Veränderungen. Theater, Drama und Theatertext spielen traditionell eine gewichtige Rolle in gesellschaftspolitischen Reflexionsprozessen. Der Band versammelt Beiträge führender Wissenschaftler:innen, Dramatiker:innen und Dramaturg:innen, die sich mit der Frage auseinandersetzen, wie die Krise nicht nur als abstrakte Bedrohung, sondern als konkrete Realität darzustellen wäre, welche neuen Ästhetiken und Dramaturgien geeignet sind, auch nichtmenschliche Akteur:innen einzubeziehen und den anthropozentrischen Blickwinkel aufzubrechen. Dabei soll nicht nur wirksam reagiert, sondern zum Handeln motiviert werden.

The Question of God's Perfection : Jewish and Christian Essays on the God of the Bible and Talmud /
:
Philosophers have often described theism as the belief in the existence of a "perfect being"-a being that is said to possess all possible perfections, so that it is all-powerful, all-knowing, immutable, perfectly good, perfectly simple, and necessarily existent, among other qualities. But such a theology is difficult to reconcile with the God we find in the Bible and Talmud. The Question of God's Perfection brings together leading scholars from the Jewish and Christian traditions to critically examine the theology of perfect being in light of the Hebrew Bible and classical rabbinic sources. Contributors are James A. Diamond, Lenn E. Goodman, Edward C. Halper, Yoram Hazony, Dru Johnson, Brian Leftow, Berel Dov Lerner, Alan L. Mittleman, Heather C. Ohaneson, Randy Ramal, Eleonore Stump, Alex Sztuden, and Joshua I. Weinstein.

The law of God : exploring God and civilization /
:
In today's society, a positive relation between 'God' and 'civilization' is by no means self-evident. Religious believers who want to live their lives in accordance with 'the law of God' are often considered a threat to civilization. To many, monotheistic religion is inherently repressive and violent. The central aim of this volume is to think of both God and civilization in a more open, space-giving way. God is seen as the One who prevents man from making an absolute claim for a relative reality, including one's religion and culture. The multifaceted relations between God and civilization are explored from systematic-theological, missiological, philosophical and ethical perspectives.

Coping with the gods : wayward readings in Greek theology /
:
Inspired by a critical reconsideration of current monolithic approaches to the study of Greek religion, this book argues that ancient Greeks displayed a disquieting capacity to validate two (or more) dissonant, if not contradictory, representations of the divine world in a complementary rather than mutually exclusive manner. From this perspective the six chapters explore problems inherent in: order vs. variety/chaos in polytheism, arbitrariness vs. justice in theodicy, the peaceful co-existence of mono- and polytheistic theologies, human traits in divine imagery, divine omnipotence vs. limitation of power, and ruler cult. Based on an intimate knowledge of ancient realia and literary testimonia the book stands out for its extensive application of relevant perceptions drawn from cultural anthropology, theology, cognitive science, psychology, and linguistics.
