Abstract

Morals and politics depend on a metaphysical backing. All reality is marked by certain necessary features and a divine purpose inherent in all reality defines the good to which all human life should be directed.These are bold assertions in a climate where the credibility of metaphysics is widely denied. Indeed, for the past two centuries, Western philosophy has been marked by a consensus that questions about moral and political life should be considered separately from questions about ultimate reality. In this challenging work, Franklin I. Gamwell defends metaphysical necessity against both modern and postmodern critiques. The metaphysics vindicated is not the traditional form both critiques typically have in view, however. Instead, Gamwell outlines a neoclassical project for which Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne are the main philosophical resources. As it maintains the significance of theistic metaphysics, the book makes no appeal to religious authority but solely to common human experience, and on this basis articulates principles of human purpose and democratic justice.

Abstract

The nexus between monotheism and ethics, especially in the forms professed by the three Abrahamic faiths, is the theme that binds together the studies in this volume. Fourteen leading academics from around the world discuss philosophical and theological connections, historical interactions, as well as responses to new and contemporary issues. Most, though not all of the essays, find a meaningful connection between monotheism and ethics; but none shy away from the problems involved.

Abstract

Der Autor legt eine Einleitung in die Systematische Theologie vor, die im Gegensatz zu allen gleichartigen Publikationen die wesentliche Verknüpfung der materialen Dogmatik und der Ethik auf der Grundlage der Prinzipienlehre aufzeigt. Sie will der Verselbständigung dieser Disziplinen in der evangelischen Theologie der Gegenwart entgegenwirken. Im Rahmen einer theoretischen Bestimmung der Funktion der Religion für das Gemeinwohl der Gesellschaft verankert sie die explikative Aufgabe der Systematischen Theologie in der kirchlichen Kommunikation des Evangeliums, in welcher dessen Wahrheit und dessen motivierende Kraft durch Gottes Geist für die Lebensgewissheit der Person offenbar wird. Aus der Besinnung auf den Grund und Gegenstand des Glaubens ergibt sich für die Glaubensgemeinschaft der Kirche das dogmatische Interesse, das Walten Gottes in Schöpfung, Versöhnung und Vollendung zu erkennen; und es ergibt sich aus ihr ebenso das ethische Interesse, die spezifische Verantwortung der christlichen Existenz für das Gemeinwohl in der Risikogesellschaft einer ökonomisch dominierten Kultur - also in Wirtschaft, Staat, Wissenschaft und Technik - zu reflektieren.
