This monograph provides and defends a widely-shared definition of the world's religions. It calls this definition "systematic anthropomorphism" - the attribution of human characteristics to non-human events.

Der Band fragt nach der Rolle des Körpers im Recht. Vertreter:innen der Philosophie, Theologie und Rechtswissenschaft untersuchen ein vielseitiges und komplexes Spektrum an Fragen, die sich aus dem Verhältnis der Begriffe „Recht" und „Körper" ergeben. In welcher rechtlichen Gestalt tritt ein (menschliches) Rechtssubjekt als Körper auf? Wie wird seine Körperlichkeit vom Recht erfasst, geschützt und normativ bestimmt und gestaltet? Was unterscheidet aus einer rechtlichen Perspektive den menschlichen vom tierischen Körper? Kann der menschliche Körper als Eigentum verstanden werden oder gehorcht er einer fundamental anderen Logik? The volume asks about the role of the body in law. Representatives of philosophy, theology, and jurisprudence examine the physical, material, or natural (pre-)conditions of law, which law does not cover or covers only to a degree.

Dieu est corps : parmi toutes les doctrines polémiques de Thomas Hobbes, celle qui affirme la corporéité de Dieu l'est tout particulièrement. De nombreux philosophes et théologiens contemporains de Hobbes l'ont du reste perçue comme un immense et insupportable " scandale ". Cependant, bien souvent, ils y ont vu aussi une thèse véritablement centrale de la philosophie de Hobbes, alors que de nombreux interprètes ultérieurs, encore aujourd'hui, ont été tentés de la renvoyer plutôt à ses marges. La présente recherche essaie de montrer que cette thèse, liée à sa décision théorique de fond en faveur de l'univocité de l'étant, joue bien un rôle majeur dans la pensée de Hobbes.

"Material Mystery considers three apparently anthropocentric myths that are central to Abrahamic religions-those of the primal human, the incarnated and possibly divine redeemer, and the resurrected body. At first glance, these stories reinforce a human-centered theology and point to a very anthropomorphic God. Taking them seriously seems to ignore the material turn in the humanities entirely, with the same sort of willful ignorance that some of our politicians show in declaring that their myths count as facts, or that the point of the rest of the world is to further human consumption. But it is possible, Karmen MacKendrick shows, to read these figures through a particular tradition that emerges from the Hebrew Bible, the tradition of Wisdom as a creative force. Wisdom texts are common across the ancient Near East. As the idea of creative Wisdom develops from antiquity into the middle ages, it gathers philosophical influences from a range of philosophical traditions. This exuberantly promiscuous impurity-intellectual, artistic, and theological-generates new interpretive possibilities. In these interpretations, each human-like figure opens up onto the world's matter, as an interdependent part of it, and matter is thoroughly mixed with divinity. Such mythic readings complement our factual, scientific understanding of the material world, to engage wider kinds of knowing and affective attention-particularly Wisdom's combination of care and delight"--

"Outre ses 'Sermons', Isaac, abbé de l'Étoile en Poitou († 1169), est l'auteur de deux lettres-traités portant sur des sujets forts différents, mais qui toutes deux retracent l'ascension de l'âme vers Dieu. Dans la 'Lettre sur l'âme', promise à une grande postérité car reprise dans un traité largement utilisé au XIIIe siècle, il présente de façon systématique cette progression de l'âme, depuis les réalités corporelles, grâce à ses cinq puissances : sens, imagination, raison, intellect, intelligence. Dans la 'Lettre sur le canon de la messe', unique témoin cistercien de ce genre littéraire, Isaac déploie une interprétation allégorique et spirituelle très originale de la liturgie eucharistique, liant actions du canon et étapes de la montée de l'âme. Ces brefs textes feront entrer le lecteur dans l'œuvre d'un esprit brillant, bel exemple de la fructueuse rencontre entre la culture du cloître et celle des écoles."

How is musical practice connected with everyday life? Eva-Maria Houben shows that performing music as an activity - indeed, as playing - is a meaningful shift from an approach based on structural analysis. Musical practice, Eva-Maria Houben contends, can be understood as open and never finished. Such an emphasis on repetition offers freedom from perfection, productivity, and purpose, thus allowing meaning to unfold in specific situations, places, and relationships. Musical practice can become a form of life and a reality in its own right. The study includes musical examples from the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries as well as contemporary music.
