Il pazzo uomo e il veccio Dio. L’Apocalisse dell’esistenza moderna secondo Friedrich Nietzsche

No. 281 (2021)

Un Saggio di Edmund Weber

“Dov’è andato? Ha chiamato, ti dirò: Lo abbiamo ucciso, – tu e me! Siamo tutti i suoi assassini! Dio è morto. Dio rimane morto. E lo abbiamo ucciso.”

Queste famosissime frasi scrisse Friedrich Nietzsche nel suo famosissimo libro “La Gaya Scienza” nel capitolo “Il pazzo uomo” non sono rivolte solo ai pii. Il suo grido inorridito si rivolse – e questo di solito viene trascurato – molto di più agli atei o ad altri infedeli.Tuttavia, la sua protesta non servì a incoraggiarli nella loro incredulità scientifica o non scientifica.No!

ÖZ

Buna göre veliler ve öğrenciler doğrudan hak sahibi iken dinî cemaatler bu hakkın devletle birlikte taşıyıcısı ve uygulayıcısıdır. Anayasa; devletin, din dersi verme sorumluluğunu dinî cemaatlerle paylaşması gerektiğini ve din derslerini, dinî cemaatlerle uyum, anlaşma ve iş birliği içerisinde vermek zorunda olduğunu hükme bağlamıştır.

G.W.F. Hegels und Rudolf Ottos
Kritik empiristischer Religionsdeskription

No. 278 (2020)

Von Edmund Weber

  1. Vorbemerkungen

Die Renaissance der Erforschung der Religionsphilosophie G.F.W. Hegels und Rudolf Ottos ist ein Indiz dafür, daß die Ansicht, Religion sei eine historische, zufällige und zweifelhafte Gestalt kulturellen Lebens, und man könne ihre Erforschung einmal auf das Sammeln von sogenannten religiösen Daten und zum andern ihre Existenz auf religionsfremde Ursachen und Zwecke zurückführen, nicht mehr selbstverständlich ist und zur Vermutung Anlaß gibt, „No. 278“ weiterlesen

John Calvin – a pioneer of the spirit of capitalism?
An Essay

No. 275 (2020)

by Edmund Weber

Abstract

The thesis John Calvin (1509-1564) was the religious initiator of modern capitalist mentality is inconsistent with his teaching; just the opposite is true. Calvin represented a very traditional i.e. non- or even ant-capitalist socio-economic position. There one does not find on his doctrine what could have fostered and prepared a so-called spirit of capitalism.

Keywords: John Calvin this-sided and other-sided predestination spirit of capitalism „No. 275“ weiterlesen
