Abstract

Long description: Tiere und Menschen werden in der Philosophie immer wieder miteinander verglichen. Die Funktion dieses Vergleichs scheint - bei vordergründiger Betrachtung - die eines Mittels zur Selbstbeschreibung zu sein. Erstaunlicherweise hat sich das Repertoire dieses Mittels jedoch seit Aristoteles kaum verändert. Vom menschlichen Selbstverständnis und der Weise, wie wir Menschen uns selbst beschreiben, ist dies jedoch kaum anzunehmen. Am Beispiel Ernst Tugendhats wird die Verwendungsweise des Vergleichs zwischen Mensch und Tier nachgezeichnet und einer ersten Analyse unterzogen. Im Zuge dessen entsteht ein fundiertes Problembewusstsein. Der Weg jedoch, auf dem die Funktion des Vergleichs zwischen Mensch und Tier erst verständlich wird, führt zurück bis zu der Literatur vor Platon und verweilt sowohl bei Platon selbst, als auch bei der zentralen Figur der Entstehung des philosophischen Topos: bei seinem berühmten Schüler Aristoteles. Eine in mehreren Schritten vollzogene Analyse des Vergleichs von Menschen und anderen Tieren lässt die Sachdienlichkeit und Angemessenheit dieses deskriptiven und explikativen Instrumentariums zunehmend fraglich erscheinen. Nicht allein stellt sich mit Platon die Frage, was denn die Gruppe der Tiere als einen der Gruppe der Menschen entgegengesetzten Pol eint; auch der aristotelische Essentialismus und die mit ihm einhergehenden ontologischen Überzeugungen stehen im Fokus der Kritik. Endlich steht die Verquickung von Wichtigkeiten unseres Selbstverständnisses mit den Elementen einer objektive Ansprüche erhebenden Beschreibung des Menschen als ein Amalgam im Raum, das es in seine Elemente zu zerlegen gilt, um zu neuer Sachlichkeit gelangen zu können.

Abstract

The author discusses a number of aspects of Christian beliefs and practice as they relate to specific topics impacting on a religious existence. These issues are Hope, Charity, Our Neighbors, Devine Economy, Imitation of God, Christian Scheme, and Devine Services, and they are repeated as the book's individual chapter titles. The author maintains that "God has been pleased to lead mankind towards a sound understanding of himself, and an openness of heart to one another. Providence, I must own, is a favorite topic with me, and I am fond of setting it in every various light that may help to make it more clearly and more generally understood ... I hope there is nothing in this book detrimental to the Christian Religion as taught in our Church, but I flatter myself that there are some hints at least which may prove helpful towards a rational, yet orthodox explanation of some of its most difficult and important doctrines."

Abstract

Leslie Stephen (1832-1904) was a writer, philosopher and literary critic whose work was published widely in the nineteenth century. As a young man Stephen was ordained deacon, but he later became agnostic and much of his work reflects his interest in challenging popular religion. This two-volume work, first published in 1876, is no exception: it focuses on the eighteenth-century deist controversy and its effects, as well as the reactions to what Stephen saw as a revolution in thought. Comprehensive and full of detailed analysis, this is an important work in the history of ideas. Volume 1 contains a thorough discussion of the arguments for and against deism. The debate is placed in a wider philosophical context and the works of Descartes, Locke and Hume are all discussed in detail. The volume concludes with an examination of theological thought at the end of the century.
