Free Download Garth Hallett, "The Maturing of Monotheism: A Dialectical Path to its Truth"
English | ISBN: 1350089354 | 2019 | 224 pages | EPUB | 978 KB
Tracing a dialectical path, The Maturing of Monotheism emphasises the plausibility of Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and kindred forms of monotheism and responds to anti-theistic challenges of our day. These include materialism, determinism, the denial of objective value, the pervasiveness of evil, and predictions of human individual and collective extinction. The book reviews traditional metaphysical ways of arguing for monotheism but employs a cumulative, more experiential approach. While agnosticism affects humanity’s most basic beliefs, Garth Hallett demonstrates that there remains ample room for rational, theistic faith.

Free Download Donald Wallenfang, "Dialectical Anatomy of the Eucharist: An Étude in Phenomenology"
English | ISBN: 1498293395 | 2017 | 318 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
For centuries, Christian theology has understood the Eucharist in terms of metaphysics or in protest against it. Today an opening has been made to imagine the sacrament through the method of phenomenology, bringing about new theological life and meaning. In Dialectical Anatomy of the Eucharist, Donald Wallenfang conducts a sustained analysis of the Eucharist through the aperture of phenomenology, yet concludes the study with poetic and metaphysical twists. Engaging the work of Jean-Luc Marion, Paul Ricoeur, and Emmanuel Levinas, Wallenfang proposes pioneering ideas for contemporary sacramental theology that have vast implications for interfaith and interreligious dialogue. By tapping into the various currents within the Judeo-Christian tradition-Jewish, Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant-a radical argument is developed that leverages the tension among them all. Several new frontiers are explored: dialectical theology, a fourth phenomenological reduction, the phenomenology of human personhood, the poetics of the Eucharist, and a reinterpretation of the concept of gift as conversation. On the whole, Wallenfang advances recent debates surrounding the relationship between phenomenology and theology by claiming an uncanny way out of emerging dead ends in philosophical theology: return to the fray.

Free Download Max Stirner’s dialectical egoism : a new interpretation By Stirner, Max; Stirner, Max; Welsh, John F.; Stirner, Max
2010 | 293 Pages | ISBN: 0739141554 | EPUB | 1 MB
Max Stirner (1806-1856) is recognized in the history of political thought because of his egoist classic The Ego and Its Own. Stirner was a student of Hegel, and a critic of the Young Hegelians and the emerging forms of socialist and communist thought in the 1840s. Max Stirner’s Dialectical Egoism: A New Interpretation examines Stirner’s thought as a critique of modernity, by which he meant the domination of culture and politics by humanist ideology. In Stirner’s view, "humanity" is the supreme being of modernity and "humanism" is the prevailing legitimation of social and political domination. Welsh traces Stirner’s thought from his early essays to The Ego and Its Own and Stirner’s responses to his critics. He also examines how Benjamin Tucker, James L. Walker, and Dora Marsden applied Stirner’s dialectical egoism to the analysis of (a) the transformations of capitalism, (b) culture, ethics, and mass psychology, and (c) feminism, socialism, and communism. All three viewed Stirner as a champion of individuality against the collectivizing and homogenizing forces of the modern world. Welsh also takes great care to dissociate Stirner’s thought from that of the other great egoist critic of modernity, Friedrich Nietzsche. He argues that the similarities in the dissidence of Stirner and Nietzsche are superficial. The book concludes with an interpretation of Stirner’s thought as a form of dialectical egoism that includes (a) a multi-tiered analysis of culture, society, and individuality; (b) the basic principles of Stirner’s view of the relationship between individuals and social organization; and (c) the forms of critique he employs. Stirner’s critique of modernity is a significant contribution to the growing literature on libertarianism, dialectical analysis, and post-modernism

Free Download The Mission of Demythologizing: Rudolf Bultmann’s Dialectical Theology By David W. Congdon
2015 | 988 Pages | ISBN: 1451487924 | EPUB | 3 MB
Rudolf Bultmann’s controversial program of demythologizing has been the subject of constant debate since it was first announced in 1941. It is widely held that this program indicates Bultmann’s departure from the dialectical theology he once shared with Karl Barth. In the 1950s, Barth thus referred to their relationship as that of a whale and an elephant: incapable of meaningful communication. This study proposes a contrary reading of demythologizing as the hermeneutical fulfillment of dialectical theology on the basis of a reinterpretation of Barth’s theological project.

Free Download Anthony Dawahare, "Tillie Olsen and the Dialectical Philosophy of Proletarian Literature "
English | ISBN: 149857873X | 2018 | 148 pages | EPUB | 1042 KB
Contrary to previous studies of Tillie Olsen’s writing, Tillie Olsen and the Dialectical Philosophy of Proletarian Literature analyzes the impact of one of the most important philosophies of the last century, dialectical materialism, on the form and content of Olsen’s fiction. By revealing the unconceptualized dialectics of Olsen’s work and its appreciation by scholars and casual readers, this study achieves a dialectical synthesis that incorporates and extends the insights of and about Olsen in terms of dialectical materialism. By foregrounding Olsen’s dialectical approach, it explains and largely resolves apparent contradictions between her Marxism and feminism; her depictions of class, race, and gender; the literature of her earlier and later periods; and her use of realist and modernist literary forms and techniques. Consequently, this project makes a case for the importance of Olsen’s Marxist education during the "Red Decade" of the 1930s and within the U.S. proletarian literary movement.

English | ISBN: 147444153X | 2019 | 256 pages | PDF | 10 MB
Discussions of Islam in Turkey are still heavily dominated by political considerations and the dualistic paradigms of modern v. traditional, secular v. religious. Yet there exists a body of Muslim institutions in the country – Turkish theology faculties – whose work overcomes ideological divisions. By engaging with Turkish theology in its theological rather than political concerns, this book sheds light on complex Muslim voices in the context of a largely Western and Christian modernity.
