Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the possible influence of Persian religion on dualism in Jewish apocalyptic literature, with particular attention to 1 Enoch. Many studies have been conducted on Jewish apocalyptic, although relatively few studies concentrate on Persian religious influence. One of the main reasons for this is the problematic dating of Persian sources, all of which appear to date to a later period than the Jewish apocalyptic texts they are suspected of influencing. Scholars who believe in the antiquity of the traditions underlying the Persian texts, such as Boyce, Otzen and Silverman, tend to be positive about the possibility of influence, whereas scholars such as Hanson and VanderKam insist that the origins of apocalyptic traditions can be found within Jewish religion and Mesopotamian culture, respectively. The dualism between God and evil plays a central role in Jewish apocalyptic. This basic dualism manifests itself in various dualities and on four levels. Firstly, on the cosmic level God is pitted against an agent of darkness (Satan/Belial/Mastema/Azazel) and good angels oppose fallen angels or demons. Secondly, in the physical universe God manifests in order, whereas evil shows itself in every area where God’s order is transgressed. Thirdly, on an anthropological-ethical level, mankind is divided into the righteous and the wicked according to the path each individual chooses within himself. Finally, on an eschatological level, the evils of the present age are contrasted with a glorious future that will begin when the messiah has appeared and the final judgment, which is sometimes linked with a resurrection, has taken place. In order to calculate when this new age will dawn, apocalyptic writers divide history into periods. Each of the abovementioned aspects finds a parallel in Persian religious thought, which revolves around the dualism between Ahura Mazda/Spenta Mainyu and Angra Mainyu/Ahriman. Each of the dualistic principles is supported by a host of divine beings and the battle involves nature and mankind, who are expected to choose a side. There is a strong messianic expectation, as well as a well-developed concept of a final judgment that involves resurrection, and the periodization of history is fundamental to the religion. This thesis attempts to trace the development of the abovementioned concepts in Jewish thinking, depending mainly on the Hebrew Bible as representative of ancient Israelite religion. Where discrepancies between Jewish apocalyptic and the ancient religion become evident, the possibility of Persian influence is considered. The investigation will show that each of the abovementioned aspects of the dualism between God and evil in Jewish apocalyptic contain traces of what might be the influence of Persian religion.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie tesis is om die moontlike invloed van Persiese godsdiens op die dualisme in Joodse apokaliptiek te ondersoek, met spesifieke verwysing na die Ethiopic Book of Enoch. ‘n Groot aantal studies is reeds uitgevoer rondom Joodse apokaliptiek, alhoewel relatief min daarvan fokus op die invloed van Persiese godsdiens. Een van die hoofredes hiervoor is die probleme rondom die datering van Persiese tekste, waarvan almal uit ‘n latere tydperk as die meeste Joodse apokaliptiese tekste blyk te dateer. Diegene wat vertroue het in die antiekheid van onderliggende tradisies in Persiese tekste, soos Boyce, Otzen en Silverman, is geneig om positief te wees oor die moontlikheid van invloed, terwyl ander soos Hanson en VanderKam daarop aandring dat die oorsprong van apokaliptiese tradisies te vinde is in Joodse godsdiens en die kultuur van Mesopotamië. Die dualisme tussen God en die bose speel ‘n sentrale rol in Joodse apokaliptiek. Hierdie basiese dualisme manifesteer in verskeie dualiteite en op vier vlakke. Eerstens, staan God op die kosmiese vlak teenoor ‘n agent van duisternis (Satan/Belial/Mastema/Azazel), en sit goeie engele slegte engele of demone teë. Tweedens manifesteer God in die orde van die fisiese heelal, terwyl die bose manifesteer in die oortreding van God se orde. Op die derde, antropologies-etiese vlak, is die mensdom verdeel tussen goed en kwaad op grond van die weg wat elke individu in homself kies. Laastens word die boosheid van die huidige era op die eskatologiese vlak gekontrasteer met die glorieryke toekoms, wat sal aanbreek wanneer die messias gekom het en die laaste oordeel, wat soms verband hou met ‘n opstanding, plaasgevind het. Apokaliptiese skrywers verdeel gereeld die wêreldgeskiedenis in tydperke om sodoende te bereken wanneer die toekomstige era sal aanbreek. Elkeen van die bogenoemde aspekte vind ‘n parallel in die Persiese godsdiens, wat gebaseer is op die dualisme tussen Ahura Mazda/Spenta Mainyu en Ahriman/Angra Mainyu. Elkeen word ondersteun deur ‘n leer van goddelike wesens en die stryd sluit die natuur en mensdom, van wie verwag word om ‘n kant te kies, in. Daar is ‘n sterk messiaanse verwagting, sowel as ‘n goed-ontwikkelde konsep van ‘n laaste oordeel, wat gepaard gaan met ‘n opstanding. Die verdeling van wêreldgeskiedenis in tydperke is ook fundamenteel tot die godsdiens. Hierdie tesis poog om die ontwikkeling van bogenoemde konsepte in die Joodse denkwyse na te volg en maak hoofsaaklike staat op die Hebreeuse Bybel as verteenwoordigend van oud-Israelitiese godsdiens. Waar diskrepansies tussen Joodse apokaliptiek en die antieke godsdiens vorendag kom, word die moontlikheid van Persiese invloed oorweeg. Die ondersoek sal toon dat elkeen van die bogenoemde aspekte van die dualisme tussen God en die bose in Joodse apokaliptiek moontlike tekens van Persiese invloed toon.

This discussion aims to demonstrate how the project of identifying the nature of humanity is ongoing. The dominant models have their own flaws to contend with, and in the end we are still left uncertain of what constitutes our nature. Of the two views vying for prominence (dualism vs. materialism) neither is indubitable, nevertheless their are faithful proponents on each side. In a debate of belief vs. theory we see these seemingly disparate realms come together in a resignation to faith that their option is an adequate representation of human nature.

Full textAbstract:
The overall aim of this thesis is to critically assess the concept of the person in Macmurray's philosophy. This exploration requires a general examination of Macmurray's published and unpublished writings owing to the lack of any full length study of his ideas. In particular, this thesis is broadly sympathetic to Macmurray's thought and seeks to reveal the relevance of its for today. Whilst certain details of his theory are contentious and inadequate, they are not beyond redemption. Religion is important for Macmurray, but he is primarily a philosopher, and the content of this thesis reflects this. In the first chapter, Macmurray's antagonism towards traditional mind-body dualism is discussed in connection with his definition of the Self as an embodied agent. It is in this sense that his concept of the person represents an holistic account of the individual. Whilst speculation surrounds Macmurray's influences, some comparisons are drawn and the ensuing criticisms are examined. As a direct result of the postulation of the Self as agent, the existence of the Other is both confirmed and deemed necessary. Chapter two explores the interaction between the Self and the Other from the perspective of the human infant. It asserts the importance of relationships for the growth of the individual. Then, with reference to the ethical implications of the related agent, chapter three examine the composition of societies, paying particular attention to Marxist analysis, and seeking to extricate Macmurray's transferable ideas from those conditioned by his era. Finally, chapter four claims that communities are necessary for the full expression of the person, whilst criticising Macmurray's dubious employment of religious terminology in this respect. In essence, this thesis argues that the insights of Macmurray's theory have been needlessly neglected, and that the person must be understood from the perspective of agency and relationships.

Full textAbstract:
The Timaeus presents a fascinating account of the cosmos. It includes a creation myth that introduces the figure known as the Demiurge who, despite the fact that he is the cause of the sensible world, is reverently attributed with reason, and whose creation – the cosmos – is actually beautiful and good. In this dialogue Plato offers his readers a panorama of the universe. But just what are his intentions for this? Is his approach a precursor to the methods of natural science,1 or does the Timaeus fall under the category of theology? This thesis will discuss the outcome Plato wished to achieve by finally writing on cosmology and how the methods used to accomplish these ends reveal a more existential attitude towards aesthetics.

Full textAbstract:
This investigation can be described as a long journey to a final destination: a truth in religion. We start by considering dualism of the subjective and the objective, the classical model of cognition that underlies notions of truth. Dualistic notions of cognition lead to serious problems, especially for religious truth. Religions claim to state truths about the nature of the universe and human destiny, but these truths are incompatible. With a dualistic model this problem of diversity of religious truths leads to fundamentalism or relativism. Thus, this research aims to turn to the roots of the cognitive situation and investigate the way we cognize and relate to the world to provide a better model. As we consider the philosophical theories and empirical investigations of cognition, we come to the conclusion that dualism of the subjective and objective is not tenable. As the findings of contemporary mind sciences and phenomenologically oriented research indicate, human cognition is embodied, embedded, enacted, extended, and shaped by language. Thus, I propose to re-conceptualize the cognitive situation to provide a better philosophical account. I put forward a tripartite model of cognition, which unites language, action, and environment. The consequent application of this model to the issues of truth and religion shows that we can avoid the problem of diversity of truth claims. A tripartite model allows us to explain how we can maintain religion as true, despite the diversity of religious truth claims. Additionally, as this model is fundamental, its application leads to various new findings and inferences, which render anew the world and the way humans relate to it. Thus, our journey brings us to new frontiers of investigation.

Full textAbstract:
This paper attempts to explore the creation of Satan as an embodiment of evil in Early Christian theodicy. I use Greco-Roman myth and the Old Testament Book of Job to explore "duality," a system in which good and evil are encapsulated in gods or God. I attempt to trace the trajectory of a shift from this duality to a system of Christian cosmic "dualism," in which good and evil are separated as opposing forces. This shift is explored through the intertestamental Pseudepigrapha of 1 Enoch and Jubilees, towards the New Testament story of the Temptation of Christ in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Finally, exploring post-New Testament Christian ideas with Origen's seminal work On First Principles and the martyr text of Perpetua to investigate the Early Christian community's ideas of good, God, evil, and Satan.

Full textAbstract:
ReligionPh.D.;
In this philosophical work I explicate Nishida Kitaro's dialectics vis-à-vis Mahayana non-dualistic thought and Hegel's dialectical philosophy, and furthermore in terms of a "chiasmatic chorology." Nishida's work makes ample usage of western philosophical concepts, most notably the terminology of Hegelian dialectics. Nishida himself has admitted affinity to Hegel. And yet content-wise the core of Nishida's thinking seem close to Mahayana Buddhism in its line of thought traceable to the Prajñaparamita sutras. The point of my investigation is to clarify in what regard Nishida's dialectic owes allegiance to Hegel and to Mahayana and wherein it diverges from them. Moreover to what extent is Nishida's appropriation of Hegelian terminology adequate in expressing his thought? The work explicates the distinctive aspects of Nishida's thinking in terms of a "chiasmatic chorology" to emphasize the inter-dimensional and placial complexity of the dialectic. In summary two overarching concerns guide the work: 1) The relation of Nishida's dialectic to its forebears -- Mahayana non-dualism and Hegelian dialectics --; and 2) The distinctness of that dialectic as a "chiasmatic chorology." The work concludes that while Nishida, in his attempt to surmount the dualism of Neo-Kantianism, was led to Hegel's dialectic, the core ideas of his dialectic extend beyond the purview of Hegelianism. Contentwise his dialectic is closer in spirit to Mahayana. While Nishida admits to such commensurability with key Mahayana doctrines, his thought nevertheless ought not to be confined to the doctrinal category of "Buddhist thought" both because of its eclectic nature that brings in elements drawn from western and eastern sources, thereby constituting his work as a "world philosophy"; and because of its creative contributions, such as the formulation of basho and its explication in dialectical terms. What cannot be expressed adequately in terms of Hegelian dialectics is the concrete chiasma of what Nishida calls his "absolute dialectic." Moreover its founding upon the choratic nature of basho not only escapes the grasp of Hegel's self-knowing concept but extends beyond previous formulations within Buddhism.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines the representation of evil in the Star Wars prequel film series. The starting point of the study comes from a narrative analysis of the protagonist Anakin Skywalker. Using Gerard Genette's three-part model of narrative, Anakin's narrative is examined and presented based on the model's first part, story; which highlights what the narrative is portraying through structure, characters, setting and themes. The analysis shows that Anakin got underlying attributes that create tension in him that leads him to his downfall. Turning points and events in his narrative are presented that reinforce his climax where he allies himself with the dark lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious. The presentation of the narrative chisels out three overarching themes (self-esteem, love, and fear) that are discussed to find out what Anakin's narrative implies concerning the representation of evil in the Star Wars prequel. The final analysis suggested that Anakin's feels hindered in advancing in the Jedi-orders hierarchy but also that he is met with scepticism that affects his self-esteem. The analysis also implies that Anakin's fear of losing his loved ones is disregarded by the Jedi-order that rather encourage him the let go than giving him tools to work it through. Furthermore, the analysis concludes that Anakin does not ally himself with the dark side of the Force because it is evil, but because it – in his mind – offers him, not just power but also the possibility to save Padmé from dying. Through a presentation of Anakin's narrative and his fall to the dark side, evil in Star Wars is discussed. Evil, then, is not represented as one might expect, dualistic with a good and a bad, light, and dark. But rather shifting alongside Anakin's moral compass when he allies himself with the dark side. The dark side that initially represented evil, will therefore become good and its counterpart the light side of the Force and the Jedi-order who fights for peace and justice in the galaxy, will for Anakin represent evil instead.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation's purpose is to test the hypothesis that beliefs in the possibility of post-mortem survival can be rationally held within the context of the contemporary scientific and philosophical environment. In terms of criteria of rationality, a basic evidentialism is assumed, such that propositions which are sufficiently supported by the available evidence can be rationally held. With regard to the compatibility with contemporary science and philosophy, it follows as a further criterion that the relevant evidence must be satisfactorily anchored within the framework of these traditions. The relevant evidence concerns two levels. First, the basic level of the conceptual coherence of afterlife beliefs is addressed, so that the logical possibility of post-mortem survival can be established. Secondly, the viability of the metaphysics which are implied in the support of the logical possibility (i.e. the metaphysics needed to actualize post-mortem survival) is defended, establishing the metaphysical possibility of post-mortem survival. At this stage, reductive physicalism, which is the only position that effectively undermines post-mortem survival, is criticized, and the problem of interaction which burdens several of the survival-enabling ontologies is addressed. As for the criterion of scientific compatibility, it is further shown that contemporary physics are compatible with the survival-enabling metaphysics, and that contemporary physics can be argued to provide a moderate positive relevance with regard to these positions. The conclusion drawn is that belief in the possibility of post-mortem survival is not only rationally permissible within the framework of contemporary science and philosophy, but also rationally obligatory, i.e. that this possibility cannot rationally be denied with regard to the reviewed evidence.

Full textAbstract:
Texte chretien du second siecle de notre ere, le pasteur d'hermas est un temoin de premier ordre pour notre connaissance de la communaute chretienne de rome. Le theme central de l'oeuvre est la penitence, probleme bien reel a une epoque troublee de l'histoire du christianisme. Mais le pasteur est une pauvre curieuse par bien des aspects, hermas fait le recit d'une revelation speciale que lui a faite le pasteur, l'ange de la penitence, afin qu'il en informe la communaute. Or, cette revelation accorde une grande place aux anges et aux esprits, avec de nombreuses references dualistes. C'est donc un aspect specifique de cette oeuvre complexe, le dualisme et la pneumatologie, qui font l'objet de notre etude. Ainsi seront successivement traites les themes suivants : les deux esprits, les deux anges, les deux voies, les vierges et les femmes, les deux penchants, parmi les diverses sources d'hermas, on s'arretera surtout a la litterature intertestamentaire, notamment les testaments des douze patriarches, tres proches du pasteur. Mais hermas presente aussi des affinites qu'il convient de preciser avec la litterature qoumranienne. La question se pose alors de savoir comment l'enseignement de la secte a pu marquer l'auteur du pasteur d'hermas, et peut-etre d'autres auteurs chretiens des premiers sieclesThe shepherd of hermas was written during the second century a. D, and appears as an important witness of the christian communauty of rome. The author tells how he received a special revelation from the shepherd, the angle of penitence. The shepherd's teatching mentions a lot of spirits and angels, associated to good or bad principles. Our thesis will study two aspects of the shepherd, dualism and pneumatology. Thus we will analyse the following themes, as they occur in the book : the two spirits, two angels, two ways, virgins and women, two yeser. The question which should be answered is about the sources of such a teatching. Among the different traditions hermas may have used, the most caracteristic are the intertestamental writtings, espacelly the testaments of the twelve patriarche. But the dualistic themes also reminds us of the dead sea scrolls. It seems that hermas knew some aspects of the teatching of the community of qumran, but he adapts them to his christian subject ; and maybe is it the same case for other christian authors of the first century, near to the views of hermas

Several psychologists have attempted to articulate a theistic psychology or one consonant with their religious beliefs. Unfortunately, confusion over the concept of theism and a persistent naturalism in the discipline create substantial obstacles towards achieving a serious theistic psychology. It is suggested that these challenges can be overcome through examining alternative philosophies and methodologies for scientific psychology, exploring seminal articulations of God's activity, and providing a practical example of a theistic psychological research program.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The analysis of the system of speculative thought of Plato and Zoroaster, as found in Plato's Timaeus and Zoroaster's Gathas, seeks to compare a well-known philosophy, that of Plato, to a lesser known and often misunderstood system of speculative thought within a religion, namely Zoroastrianism. The purpose of such a comparison is to show that the speculative thought found in religion is often comparable to philosophy, as is the case in the doctrines postulated in the Gathas. It serves to illuminate the philosophy within a lesser known religion (Zoroastrianism) by comparing it to a well-known philosophy (that of Plato), and in doing so, to cast new light on both. The comparison of Plato and Zoroaster has been proposed and sometimes executed by other scholars as well. The main problem in these other comparisons, thus far, has been the fact that no historical contact or definite doctrinal influence of Zoroaster on Plato has been or is likely to be established. Though Plato might well have been familiar with Zoroastrian doctrines, this cannot be satisfactorily proven. This study does not depend on historical contact or doctrinal influence (though the possibility of the latter has been discussed), but compares the two doctrines independent of historical factors and is based solely on the striking similarities between these two systems of thought. This study has focussed on some of the basic concepts within the two doctrines, such as creation, the soul, and dualism. In this study I have emphasised the philosophical aspect of Zoroastrianism, though it is classified as a religion, because I believe that much of what has been classified as religion also incorporates speculative thought that can be analysed separately, and as a system of speculative thought it is comparable to other traditions of speculative thought, such as Greek philosophy. This comparison therefore seeks to counteract some of the assumptions about religions, and how they are studied, by focusing on the philosophical basis underlying the doctrines in the Zoroastrian religion. Another aspect to the comparison is a focus on the similarities of doctrine originating in two cultures previously held to be vastly different, namely Persian and Greek. There has previously been a tendency to consider the cultures of the classical and the ancient Near Eastern world as separate and completely distinct from each other, and in doing so, ignoring important historical contact. Although the historical interaction between these two areas has received increased attention, comparative investigations have emphasised the differences between the cultures of these regions, although similarities do abound and the comparison of analogous aspects of the various cultures could prove valuable to the study of the ancient world. Recognition of the larger context within which the various cultures of the ancient world operated can only add to the understanding of the ancient world, and pave the way for reassessing the traditions and world-views of various cultures.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die analise van die spekulatiewe denkstelsels van Plato en Zoroaster, soos uitgelê in Plato se Timaeus en Zoroaster se Gathas, beoog om 'n bekende filosofie te vergelyk met 'n minder bekende en dikwels wangeïnterpreteerde spekulatiewe denkstelsel binne 'n religie, naamlik Zoroastrisme. Die doel van so 'n vergelyking is om te demonstreer dat die spekulatiewe denkstelsel wat binne 'n religie gevind kan word dikwels vergelykbaar is met 'n filosofie, soos die geval is met die leerstellings/denkstelsels wat uitgelê word in die Gathas. Dit dien om die filosofiese binne 'n relatief onbekende religie (Zoroastrisme) uit te lig deur dit te vergelyk met 'n bekende filosofie (dié van Plato), en in die proses is dit moontlik dat daar nuwe lig gewerp kan word op albei. Die vergelyking tussen Plato en Zoroaster is al deur verskeie academici voorgestel en soms uitgevoer. Die hoofprobleem in al die vorige vergelykings is dat daar tot dusver by Zoroaster geen historiese kontak met of invloed op die leerstellings van Plato vasgestel kon word nie. Alhoewel Plato heel moontlik bekend kon gewees het met Zoroaster se leerstellings, kan dit nie bo alle twyfel bewys word nie. Hierdie studie voorveronderstel geen historiese kontak tussen of beïnvloeding deur die leerstellings van Zoroaster en Plato nie (hoewel die moontlikheid van laasgenoemde bespreek word). Dit is 'n vergelyking wat slegs gemotiveer is deur die treffende ooreenkomste tussen hierdie twee denkstelsels. My studie fokus op 'n aantal basiese konsepte binne die twee leerstellings, soos skepping, die siel, en dualisme. Ten spyte van die feit dat Zoroastrisme as 'n religie geklassifiseer word, word die filosofiese aspek van Zoroastrisme in hierdie studie beklemtoon, want ek glo dat baie sisteme wat as religieë geklassifiseer word spekulatiewe denke inkorporeer wat onafhanklik van die religie self as 'n spekulatiewe denkstelsel soos filosofie geanaliseer kan word, en verder ook vergelyk kan word met ander tradisies van spekulatiewe denkstelsels, soos die oud-Griekse filosofie. Hierdie vergelyking poog om die aannames oor religieë, insluitend aannames oor hoe religieë bestudeer moet word, teen te werk deur te fokus op die onderliggende filosofiese basis in die leerstellings van Zoroastrisme. 'n Ander aspek van die vergelyking is 'n fokus op die ooreenkomste tussen leerstellings wat hul oorsprong het in twee kulture (die Persiese en Griekse onderskeidelik) wat voorheen as heeltemal uiteenlopend en verskillend beskou is, en in die proses is die belangrike historiese kontak geïgnoreer. Alhoewel die historiese interaksie tussen die twee areas toenemend aandag geniet, word die kulturele verskille beklemtoon ten spyte van die feit dat daar veelvuldige ooreenkomste is en dat 'n vergelyking van ooreenkomste tussen verskeie kulture baie waardevol kan wees vir die studie van die antieke wêreld. 'n Waardering van die wyer konteks waarbinne die verskeie kulture van die antieke wêreld gefunksioneer het, kan net bydra tot 'n beter begrip van die antieke wêreld en die weg baan vir 'n herevaluering van die tradisies en wêreldbeskouings van die betrokke kulture.

Full textAbstract:
Dès les premières dynasties, le pictogramme fut dans l’écriture le prolongement des représentations figuratives naturalistes, logogrammes dans les palettes funéraires décorées protodynastiques. Ce constat nous porte à les mettre en correspondance avec l’art pariétal du néolithique nubien, le prédynastique égyptien, et celui des aires culturelles périphériques. La reconsidération des pétroglyphes en tant que symboles et idéogrammes, c’est-à-dire des mythogrammes autant que des logogrammes-phonogrammes polysémiques permet de dégager un système structurel de représentations symboliques universel dans la vallée du Nil. Essentiellement funéraire, il est organisé autour d’une nouvelle lecture en relation aux mythes fondateurs de l’Œil d’Horus/solaire, s’exprime dans des rites primitifs de revivification, de renaissance, néolithiques et prédynastiques, explicités ensuite durant les premières dynasties sur des tablettes, des sceaux-cylindres votifs, et l’onction du mort avec les sept huiles canoniques et, enfin, dans les Textes des Pyramides. Contrairement à l’idée commune d’opposition des notions de Nature-Culture, il est question de les conjuguer, de réconcilier la dualité non binaire et de voir, par exemple, les fonctions héliotrope et/ou héliophore des animaux du bestiaire soudanien, avec Sokar le faucon funéraire, les garants bienveillants des métamorphoses et de renaissance du soleil/des défunts, par ailleurs, félidés, canidés, antilopes…, investis du numineux des divinités tutélaires. À la lueur d’une nouvelle lecture du mythe “osirien” primitif de métamorphose, nous reconsidérons les conceptions sur le sacrifice animal sur des bases d’anthropologie religieuse. Loin d’une maîtrise et soumission de la nature, et d’un diffusionnisme, l’interculturalité de la pensée mythique archaïque première dans la vallée nubiano-égyptienne et des régions périphériques multiethniques implique, vis-à-vis du monde naturel et des forces spirituelles numineuses, la transculturalité des conceptions solaires et le partage pluriculturel, transhistorique des croyances résurrectionnelles polycycliques. Ainsi, les pétroglyphes d’animaux, les scènes de chasse animale, les représentations de barques, de sandales, etc., sont de nature funéraire votive, apotropaïqueSince the beginning of the first dynasties, the pictogram in writing was the extension of naturalistic figurative representations, logograms in the decorated funerary protodynastic palettes. This statement carry us to link them with the parietal art of Neolithic Nubia, the egyptian Predynastic, and peripheral cultural areas. We have reconsidered the petroglyphs as polysemic symbols and ideograms, i.e. mythograms as well polysemic logograms-phonograms, allowing us to draw up a structural system of symbolic representations, universal in the Nile valley. Basically funerary, the system is organised around a new reading in connection with the founding of the ‘Eye of Horus’/solar myths, and express itself in primitive Neolithic and Predynastic rites of revivification, rebirth, more explicit afterwards during the first dynasties on labels, votive cylinder-seals, and anointing the deads with the seven holy canonical oils, finally in the Pyramid Texts. Contrary to the common idea which opposite the Nature-Culture notions, there is some question to combine them, to reconcile the non-binary duality and to see, for example, the heliotrope functions and/or heliophore animals of the sub-Saharan bestiary, with Sokar the funerary hawk, the benevolent guarantors for the rebirth and metamorphosis of the sun/deads; otherwise felids, canids, antelopes…, invested by the numinous of the protecting divinities. In consequence of a new reading of the primitive ‘osirian’ myth of metamorphosis, we have reconsidered the conceptions about animal sacrifice on the basis of religious anthropology. Far from bringing under control and submission of nature, and diffusionnism, the intercultural (cross-cultural) of the first archaic mythic thought in the multi-ethnic nubian-egyptian valley and associated neighbouring areas involves, towards the natural world and the numinous spiritual strengths, the cross-cultural of solar conceptions and multicultural, trans-historic sharing of the polycyclic resurrectional believes. Thus, the animal petroglyphs, cynegetic scenes, boats and sandals representations, etc., are of funerary votive, apotropaic nature

This research proposes to investigate the theological anthropology of the Christian Community Peace and Life, evangelical group of neo-Pentecostal matrix. The theological emphasis on the unity of the human constitution, which biblical testimony indicates, contrasts with the historical experience of Christendom in which the body has always played a secondary role, a status that still remains in various religious groups, including current Brazilian Pentecostalism. In view of this reality, Pentecostalism establishes its foundations, faithful to its ecclesiastical context in the same Platonic tendency to value more what is usually called the "soul" and "spirit" than the body, despite the value of body healing, Corporeality in the liturgy and the logic of material prosperity also present in these religious experiences. In order to counter this view, the concept of integrated anthropology will be indicated, based on several authors, especially the theologian Alfonso Garcia Rubio. This concept is fundamentally characterized by the understanding that the human being is a unit. It is that concrete being that appears in all its corporeal dimensions, and the body must relate to the whole cosmos and other living beings making present in a world of relationships and not of exclusions and dichotomies. In this sense, we wonder to what extent the contribution of an integral theological anthropology can constitute a contribution to overcome the anthropological dualism in religious groups such as the Christian Community Peace and Life? The research indicates some theological paths of overcoming concepts of dualistic and reductionist nature of the human condition, in view of an integrated anthropology. As an overcoming of this dualism we suggest an incarnated spirituality where the body makes evident in all its relations and where the unitary experience of the human being as a concrete person. From the concept of Integrated Human, which seeks to overcome dualisms, it is hoped to offer the Christian Community Peace and Life, from its own experience, with all the ambiguities in it, a unitary perception of the human being.
Esta pesquisa propõe investigar a antropologia teológica da Comunidade Cristã Paz e Vida, grupo evangélico de matriz neopentecostal. A ênfase teológica na unidade da constituição humana, que o testemunho bíblico indica, contrasta com a experiência histórica da cristandade, na qual o corpo sempre teve um papel secundário, status que ainda permanece em vários grupos religiosos, incluindo o pentecostalismo brasileiro atual. Diante desta realidade, o pentecostalismo estabelece suas bases, fiel ao seu contexto eclesiástico na mesma tendência platônica de valorizar mais o que usualmente se denominou a “alma” e “espírito” do que o corpo, não obstante ao valor da cura do corpo, da corporeidade na liturgia e da lógica de prosperidade material também presentes nessas experiências religiosas. Para se contrapor a essa visão será indicado o conceito de antropologia integrada, a partir de vários autores, em especial o teólogo Alfonso Garcia Rubio. Tal conceito se caracteriza fundamentalmente por entendermos que o ser humano é uma unidade. Trata-se daquele ser concreto que se apresenta em todas as suas dimensões corpóreas, sendo que o corpo deve se relacionar com todo o cosmo e com outros seres vivos fazendo presente em um mundo de relações e não de exclusões e dicotomias. Nesse sentido, nos perguntamos em que medida a contribuição de uma antropologia teológica integral pode se constituir em uma contribuição para a superação do dualismo antropológico em grupos religiosos como a Comunidade Cristã Paz e Vida? A pesquisa indica alguns caminhos teológicos de superação de conceitos de natureza dualista e reducionista da condição humana, tendo em vista uma antropologia integrada. Como superação desse dualismo sugerimos uma espiritualidade encarnada na qual o corpo faz evidente em todas as suas relações e na qual a experiência unitária do ser humano como pessoa concreta. A partir do conceito de Humano Integrado, que busca a superação dos dualismos, espera-se oferecer à Comunidade Cristã Paz e Vida, a partir de sua própria vivência, com todas as ambiguidades nela existentes, uma percepção unitária do ser humano.

Full textAbstract:
The popularization of academic spaces that combine Buddhist philosophy with the literature of the Romantic period – a discipline I refer to as Buddhist Romantic Studies – have exposed the lack of scholarly attention Samuel Taylor Coleridge and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner have received within such studies. Validating Coleridge’s right to exist within Buddhist Romantic spheres, my thesis argues that Coleridge was cognizant of Buddhism through historical and textual encounters. To create a space for The Rime within Buddhist Romantic Studies, my thesis provides an interpretation of the poem that centers on the concept of prajna, or wisdom, as a vital tool for cultivating the mind. Focusing on prajna, I argue that the Mariner’s didactic story traces his cognitive voyage from ignorance to enlightenment. By examining The Rime within the framework of Buddhism, readers will also be able to grasp the importance of cultivating the mind and transcending ignorance.

Full textAbstract:
The present thesis examines the rhetorical interaction of the narrative (5.21-43; 7.24-30; 9.14-29) and discursive (9.33-37; 10.13-16) instances of child language in Mark, and analyzes how and to what effect Markan child language is figured rhetorically to address distinctly the elite and non-elite tiers of the Gospel's double audience, according to Henderson's dual audience theory. It argues that the narrative child healings construct an inscribed conception of the child and the parent-child relationship that exerts a controlling influence over the reading/hearing experience of the more explicitly argumentative child discourses. This approach seeks to clarify Mark's persuasive project of advancing, on the one hand, a self-sacrificial form of community leadership addressed to proto-Christian elites, and, on the other, an intimate form of personal devotion to Christ, addressed to non-elites. In doing so, I hope to contribute to the growing discussions concerning the nature and understanding of children and childhood in the ancient world and in early Christianity, the make-up of the Markan audience, and the power dynamics and differentials of the proto-Christian community projected by the Gospel.La présente thèse examine la rhétorique qui sous-tend les cas narratifs (de 5,21 à 43; de 7,24 à 30; de 9,14 à 29) et discursifs (9,33 à 37; de 10,13 à 16) dans la langue de Marc portant sur les enfants, et analyse comment et dans quelle mesure la langue Marcan relative aux enfants est présentée comme rhétorique pour s'adresser clairement aux niveaux élites et non-élites de la double audience à laquelle s'adresse l'Évangile, en se fondant sur la théorie développée par Henderson. La thèse soutient que les récits de guérisons d'enfants favorisent la construction d'une conception inscrite de l'enfant et de la relation parent-enfant, et que cette conception exerce une influence déterminante sur la lecture / l'audition des discours formellement argumentatifs. Cette approche cherche à clarifier le projet persuasif de Marc visant à promouvoir, d'une part, une forme de leadership communautaire fondé sur le sacrifice de soi qui cible les élites proto-chrétiennes, et d'une autre part, une forme intime de dévotion personnelle au Christ s'adressant aux non-élites. J'espère, de cette façon, contribuer au débat d'idées croissant sur la nature et la compréhension des enfants et de l'enfance dans le monde ancien et à l'aube du christianisme, sur la formation de l'audience Marcan, puis sur les dynamiques du pouvoir et des clivages au sein de la communauté proto-chrétienne projetée par l'Évangile.

Full textAbstract:
Le but de la thèse est tout d'abord d'offrir une vue d'ensemble des recherches sur le dualisme en histoire des religions, puis d'encadrer dans l'ensemble des religions dualistes un groupe spécial de courants religieux appelés "dualismes d'occident" pour avoir occupé une place marquante dans l'histoire des idées occidentales. Il s'agit, par ordre chronologique, du gnosticisme, du marcionisme, du manichéisme, du paulicianisme, du bogomilisme et du catharisme lombard et occitan. Une esquisse de chronologie des dualismes d'occident permet de placer ces courants dans le temps et de les comparer, d'une part, à d'autres courants non-dualistes comme le messalianisme et le priscillianisme, et de l'autre, à des religions dualistes ou prétendues telles qui n'ont pas affecté l'histoire des idées occidentales, telles les sectes extrémistes chiites, l'ismaélisme ou le mandéisme. La thèse aborde par la suite les mythes des courants dualistes d'occident, essayant de décrire, d'après l'analyse minutieuse des récits, l'attitude que chaque groupe à part a devant le créateur du monde (intelligence écosystemique), de la place de l'homme dans le système (principe anthropique) et de la dignité ou non de l'homme. La conclusion de l'étude est que les dualismes d'occident dérivent seulement en certains cas l'un de l'autre (le manichéisme du gnosticisme, le paulicianisme du marcionisme, le catharisme modéré du bogomilisme et le catharisme radical de l'origenisme tardif), mais que les problèmes de filiation ne sont pas les plus importants : ce qui compte, c'est le fonctionnement du système à l'intérieur duquel tous ces courants peuvent être situés. Un chapitre sur les débats modernes concernant la gnose clôt l'enquête. Il essaie de démontrer que le nihilisme moderne, tout en produisant des mythes d'apparence "gnostique", est l'inverse du gnosticisme, car son principe de production s'obtient en inversant les signes à la base du systèmeThis work consists of an analysis of the principal myths present in a series of dualistic religions, trends or sects that affected during a long period western history and history of ideas. For the first time, religious dualism is defined and the myths of gnosticism, marcionism, manichaeism, paulicianism, bogomilism, and catharism are compared with one another. In some cases, direct derivation is observable: manichaeism derives from gnosticism, paulicianism derives from marcionism, moderate catharism derives from bogomilism, and radical catharism derives from origenism. But the main purpose of this study is to show that they form all together a system working according to a set of simple principles and producing endlessly new mythical sequences, combinations, and rearrangements. The closing chapter attemps to summarize the recent debates concerning nihilism and gnosticism. It comes to the conclusion that the two phenomena, though producing analogous myths, are hardly comparable to one another, since they are produced by an inversion of signs at the bottom of the system. Nihilism is the converse of gnosticism

Full textAbstract:
This essay explores the concept of soul in the theology of Sarah Coakley. This is done by analyzing the ideas in Coakleys work descriptively. The notion of soul has been found to have a close connection to two of Coakleys main ideas, those of desire and asceticism. From these ideas I have tried to add a concept of soul to Coakleys theological work. The notion of the soul has its basis in the material body and its desires. Coakley understands the desires of the body as both sexual desire and desire for God. In her theology desire can be understood as a metaphor for the soul´s longing for God. From the desires of the material body this essay have shown that one can design a concept of soul in Coakleys theology. I argue that you can understand Coakleys theology better theoretically by engaging a concept of soul instead of just focusing on contemplative prayer as a way of reaching God and do academic theology. With a concept of soul in Coakleys theology it can work regardless of confession or religious practice and it makes the academic theology possible without depending on contemplation.

Este estudo procura demonstrar o cristianismo entre os Kaingang, povo Jê do sul do Brasil. Aborda aspectos etnológicos das práticas e crenças católicas e protestantes nas aldeias. A pesquisa etnográfica envolveu três tipos de expressões religiosas: o ritual do Kiki, conhecido também como culto aos mortos; as igrejas de crentes; e, o catolicismo popular em geral. A pesquisa explicita uma série de relações entre aqueles que se denominam católicos tradicionais e os protestantes, ambos compartilhando o contexto atual de predominância político-econômica sobre a vida religiosa. Neste sentido, os valores intrínsecos ao universo protestante e aqueles próprios ao ritual do Kiki, associados ao universo católico, se opõem e fazem parte de um mesmo todo referencial. Ou seja, os valores estruturais da sociedade tradicional e os valores contemporâneos dividem o espaço em um contexto em que os habitantes das aldeias precisam ser reconhecidos como Kaingang e brasileiros simultaneamente.

Thesis (DPhil (Ancient Studies))--University of Stellenbosch, 2008.Since time immemorial and throughout the centuries up to the present, the struggle between Good and Evil has played a cardinal role in the “cultural web” of mankind. In the various religions, this dimension of life is linked to the theological issue of human suffering and need in the light of Divine Omnipotence and Grace. Some of the earliest prophets/compilers/authors expressed their own perspectives on this ongoing conflict and burning question. This comparative research stems from a statement by the well-known Iranologist, Mary Boyce. She described the origin of the Christian faith as a new religion that developed out of Judaism, enriched by contact with the old Persian religion, Zoroastrianism. Other researchers also described various aspects of the dualism, eschatology, angelology and demonology, as well as the cosmogony and purity laws, as “obvious” similarities. However, researchers have not yet reached consensus on the possible influence exercised by Zoroastrianism on Judaism and the early Christian writings. The aim of the study is to make a contribution to the ongoing debate from another perspective. Writings from the religions are juxtaposed in full, and analysed and compared according to the war theme and components arising from the writings themselves. A holistic approach offers a more structured starting -point for further research rather to opposing aspects randomly from a large variety of texts. The holistic approach draws attention to similarities as well as differences. Keywords out of each analysis of a component have been placed in a framework to present the summarising comparison more compactly. Historical and literary contexts play an important role in a comparative study. The writings of the three religions originated in four major eras: the Bronze Age/the Sasanian Period, the Hellenistic Era and the Roman Era. The characteristic dualism of Zoroastrianism is limited to the eschatological/apocalyptic war as it is found in the Gathas of Zarathustra. References are also made to the “later” apocalyptic writing, the Bahman Yasht. The most relevant writing in the Judaism (Qumran) is the War Scroll. Richard Bauckham has described Revelations as the “Christian War Scroll”. The analysis of the various aspects shows that core principles in the religions underlie the war themes. Some of the proper names contain defining elements in the determination of dualism and monotheism. Planning and weapons are main components in the strategy of the war - the “revelation” of the modus operandi. The eschatology is caught up in the ultimate end of the war. In the final chapter, the main corresponding elements are placed on a “scale” and “weighed”. Although no further “lexical links” – the weight-bearing criteria of García Martínez – have been found in this study, the amount of corresponding aspects in merely one text per religion is significant. Differences and unique imagery/symbolism put each writing in its own time-slot and framework.

Full textAbstract:
Much of the research conducted on lesbians and place focuses on women who live in urban areas or highlights how participants wish to live in urban areas. Knowing that there are lesbians who live in rural and Appalachian areas that do not wish to leave to urban areas, this research examines participants’ experiences living in those places. Participants discuss how religion is a socially circulating meaning system in the places they live and it dictates much of social life. I argue that religion has a two-fold meaning for participants: one, it is a religious text that is used as a social control mechanism in the lives of the women and two, it is church as community, in which the participants use church spaces to both make community among themselves as well as be a part of the larger community in their towns. This research adds to the narratives of rural lesbian women and available ways of occupying spaces by breaking down a binary of common cultural ideas about place and sexuality.

Full textAbstract:
Le présent travail a pour objet la description des systèmes rituels et des chants des Daba. Ces derniers sont considérés comme étant les spécialistes des rites et divinations du peuple na, un des nombreux groupes ethniques situés en Chine. A partir des données recueillies pendant les enquêtes réalisées durant la période 2004-2007, la thèse décrit et analyse trois cas rituels. Il s’agit du rite de vénération destiné aux ancêtres du lignage ou busina, du rite d’expulser les esprits maléfiques ou mukrabus, et du rite gibu consacré aux esprits gu représentant les ources d’eau. Pour chacun de ces cas, les Daba mettent au service leurs connaissances spécifiques des longs processus rituels et chants complexes, en vue d’atteindre des objectifs divers : soit, dans le cas busina, le partage des aliments avec les ancêtres et les autres villageois ; soit, dans mukrabu, l’expulsion des mauvais esprits représentant diverses saletés de la maison ; soit, enfin dans gubu, veiller à la satisfaction des esprits « ambivalents » gu, afin que ces derniers consentent à coopérer avec les humains dans les activités agricoles l’année suivante. Dans le dernier chapitre, nous mettons en lumière trois binômes ontologiques émergeant des descriptions et analyses précédentes : ils paraissent, en effet, constitués des rapports complexes entre les morts et les vivants, entre les mauvais et les bons, et enfin entre les humains et les entités environnementales. De plus, on remarque une tendance particulière de « répétitions » dans les méthodes employées par les chamanes na vis-à-vis des forces opposantes. Ensemble, ces relations et méthodes constituent ce que nous appelons « le dualisme na »This thesis explores the ritual systems and songs of the Daba, a class of ritual specialists and diviners among the Na of south-west China. Based on three periods of fieldwork carried out from 2004 – 2007, the thesis describes and analyses three types of ritual: the busina, a rite of veneration for lineage ancestors; the mukrabu, an exorcism rite; and the gubu, dedicated to gu spirits who represent springs. In each case, the Daba make use of their specific knowledge of long ritual processes, as well as of complex songs, to achieve various objectives. The purpose of the busina is to share food with ancestors and other villagers, mukrabu aims to exorcise evil spirits representing various forms of impurity, and finally gubu propitiates “ambivalent” gu spirits, so that they agree to cooperate with humans in the agricultural activities over the following year. By exploring the parallel unfolding and interweaving of ritual songs and practices. I draw out the principal characteristics of Daba ritual technique. In the final chapter, I highlight three ontological pairs emerging from previous descriptions and analyses. These emerge out of complex relationships between the living and the dead, between good and evil, and finally between humans and environmental entities (nature spirits). I also draw attention to the tendency towards “rehearsal” in the methods used by Na shamans vis-à-vis the opposing forces. These different methods and relationships together constitute what I call “Na dualism”

Full textAbstract:
My research uses my painting practice as an experimental and investigative tool to test the capacity of practical aesthetics to generate similar or analogous experiences to the non-dualist reception aesthetics of certain key examples of post-Tridentine (1563) Catholic Counter-Reformation devotional imagery, particularly, The Ecstasy of St. Theresa (1647-1652) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and the Incarnation (1596-1600) by El Greco. I apply an interpretative method to the development of Christian imagery within painting in the post-Reformation period and its relationship to the economic system of modern capitalism and the Enlightenment aesthetic of the sublime. My research aims to see what, if any, meanings and experiences, which, I believe, were present in the affective aesthetics of certain Counter-Reformation imagery can, through the contemporary aesthetics of my painting practice, be reconstructed or re-generated again as similar experience to those original pre-Enlightenment non-dualist meanings and experiences. The experience I aim to generate in my paintings is an affective and experiential narrative of presence, - Eliot's 'unity of thought, feeling and action', which I argue is found in the meaning and experience of those key Christian devotional images.

Full textAbstract:
Jungfruns andra natur: Magna Mater, Mamma Maggan och Moder Natur är en religionshistorisk studie med inslag av religionspsykologi som genom en hermeneutisk metod undersöker Maria i debattserien ´feministisk generationsklyfta´ mellan åren 2008 och 2017. Debatten utvecklades efter Mariautställningen på Historiska museet i Stockholm, Maria – drömmen om kvinnan, 2008. Genom en deduktiv ansats analyseras det empiriska materialet utifrån teorier om heligt och profant samt dualism och dialog. Frågeställningarna handlar om varför och på vilket sätt Maria framställs som en immanent och/eller transcendent gestalt och om debattörerna ansåg att Maria var relevant eller icke-relevant för kvinnor idag. Ett centralt tema i ´feministisk generationsklyfta´ var en ”systerstrid” mellan likarts- och särartsfeminism. Studien visar emellertid att distinktionen mellan religion och feminism, katolicism och protestantism inte var självklar. En av debattörerna, en av grundarna till Feministiskt initiativ, upphöjde Maria, Gud och Nya testamentets kärleksbudskap. Medan den som var präst förordade att moderna röster, sekulära och feminister, skulle ta Maria i anspråk och föra henne ut ur de kyrkliga rummen. Och den som sade sig komma med ”nyläsning”, skrev utan bibelreferenser. Hon utgick istället från sin egna upplevelser och känslor. Gemensamt för de tre debattörerna var att de levandegjorde Maria på var sitt sätt, kristen som sekulär, helig som profan, universell som privat. Genom att använda, för studien det konstruerade begreppet, ´alter Maria´, vidgades narrativen och gestaltningarna. Alter Mariorna förtydligade både relationer i tid och rum samt outtalade eller underliggande personliga pronomen. Ju mer himmelsk Maria, desto mer universell. Ju mer jordisk Maria, desto mer privat och intim. Under debattens olika lager representerade Mariagestalten kvinnans plats i kosmos. Marias moderskap betraktades antingen som kvinnans styrka eller svaghet. Bebådelsen representerade synen på sexualitet i förhållande till Gud. Marias relevans för kvinnor idag stod i relation till hennes ägande av sin kropp och sitt ja. I nöd eller lust.The Virgin´s Other Nature: Magna Mater, Mother Nature and Mother Maggan is a religious historical study of Mary and her alter Mary’s. The empirical material is the debate called "feminist generational division" (2009-2017) that followed the exhibition, Mary - the dream of the woman at the Historical Museum in Stockholm 2008. The purpose of this study is to examine through hermeneutic method why and how Mary was portrayed as an immanent and/or transcendent figure and whether the debaters considers Mary as relevant or not for women today. The study shows that there were other fundamental divisions beside a modern feminist crisis of “sister struggle” between essentialist and constructivist feminism. Analyzing through the theories of holy and profane, dualism and dialog Mary represented women's place in cosmos. The degree of relevance had connection with the view of Mays maternity as women’s either strength or weakness, while the Annunciation represented the sexuality in relation to the immanent and transcendent language.

Full textAbstract:
Central to this thesis is the identification of religious architecture in a region which has a special position in Ancient Iran, the mountainous area of Khuzestan known to classical sources under the name Elymais. This area can be considered Iranian only due to its geographical position, since its population was not of Iranian origin. A more direct approach to the study of Elymaean archaeology concerns not just the Susiana plain – which shows a strong Greek and Semitic influence – but also the sites with major rock reliefs (Tang-e Sarvak, Shimbar, Izeh-Malamir), as well as the religious architecture of Bard-e Neshandeh and Masjed-e Soleyman. This study will try to prove, working from religious architecture in Elymais of the Arsacid era, that there were hereditary ties (historical, archaeological, philological) between the Elymaeans and the Elamites, the ancient inhabitants of these territories (Ancient Elam). Given the strong relationship between Elam and neighbouring Mesopotamia, the possible presence of Mesopotamian or other foreign influences in the religious architecture and consequently the use of these types in an Elymaean context can be examined in detail. A review will be made of previously accepted hypotheses of Elymais and its population. The cultural-historical and religious interactions that occurred in this area will be examined in an attempt to establish a nexus of identity for the people of Elymais. This work aims to bring together, perhaps for the first time, diverse studies concerning Elymais: archaeological, historical, philological, numismatic and religious. This key goal will be pursued to provide a platform for their analysis as a corpus. To achieve this, details of archaeological and historical contexts including locations, excavation reports, grave goods, descriptions of monuments and observations regarding rock reliefs have been collected from a number of available sources, many of them in the form of short articles.

Previous issue date: 2006-03-16Pertence ao senso comum atribuir-se à forças malévolas os dissabores que ocorrem ao ser humano, desde intentos pessoais que não dão certo até fenômenos naturais, tais como terremotos, enchentes, etc. A Deus, credita-se a paz entre os povos e as bem-aventuranças da vida. A imaginação do demoníaco é sempre muito forte, evocando imagens de seres horrendos que aparecem com asas de morcego, chifres, rabo e em cores flamejantes e tenebrosas que, apesar de assombrar o dia-a-dia das pessoas, acabam sendo nada mais do que tentativas de explicar e personalizar a realidade abstrata do mal. Este estudo tem por objetivo fazer uma análise literária do texto de Marcos 1.21-28, procurando investigar uma possível influência de tradições populares de povos e culturas antigas sobre a redação do Evangelho segundo Marcos em sua forma de descrever os relatos de exorcismo (Para isto, examinaremos as concepções do mal em várias correntes de tradição numa seqüência histórica relativa para vislumbrar como ao longo do tempo os povos têm imaginado o mal). A hostilidade, o dualismo, a luta cósmica parecem constituir elementos comuns percebidos nas fontes literárias da antiguidade. Todavia, o Evangelho de Marcos tende a fazer um uso particular da figura de demônios e espíritos imundos contrapondo-os a Jesus. Na Bíblia Hebraica, Satanás e os demônios fazem parte do cenário, mas são quase que ignorados e servem aos propósitos soberanos de Iahweh, enquanto que nos relatos de exorcismo tais figuras adquirem uma importância fundamental. Tudo o que ameaça a ordem estabelecida por aquele grupo social onde a narrativa se concentra acaba sendo identificado como manifestações de demônios e espíritos malignos.(AU)

Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka området personlig utveckling samt personlig avveckling utifrån Sri Nisargadatta Maharajs lära och Abraham Maslows idéer. Frågeställningarna på området var: Är personlig utveckling och personlig avveckling motsatta eller identiska företeelser? Vilka likheter och skillnader finns hos Maharaj och hos Maslow? Vad har språket och dess användning för roll vid en jämförelse av dessa personers texter? De avgränsningar som gjordes för att undersöka området var att välja rörelserna humanistisk psykologi och advaita vedanta eftersom de upplevdes representera detta område på ett centralt sätt. Vidare avgränsades undersökningens metodval till diskursanalys med fokus på hur självförverkligande framställs diskursivt hos Abraham Maslow och Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. Metoden var diskursanalys med stöd av metodboken Diskursanalys, och materialet koncentrerades till att omfatta Sri Nisargadatta Maharajs verk I am that: talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj samt Abraham Maslows två verk Motivation and personality samt Toward a psychology of being. Den teori som anlades var fenomenologiskt perspektiv. Undersökningen visade att personliga omständigheter, tradition, olika perspektiv men även språkanvändning kan påverka hur man ser på och talar om kategorierna personlig utveckling respektive personlig avveckling. Slutsatsen efter undersökningen är att oavsett vilka termer man använder kommer både personlig utveckling och personlig avveckling vara aktuellt överallt där de grundläggande behoven för människan är tryggade: hur är upp till henne själv.

The origin of ancient Egyptian religion is from the nature worship to animal worship, which becomes the totemic emblems of each tribe (or the clan) and then develops into the belief for half-man, half-beast creature. It is later that the human-figured God, which is called the ancestor worship, becomes polytheism, the belief in a plurality of gods in which each deity is distinguished by special functions. This study use “Ancient Egyptian Religion” as an axis to connect the entire ancient Egyptian civilization and the Cartesian dualism of ancient Egyptian system, the seemed separated but balanced and limitless circulated religion, becomes the unique and special religion structure of human history. This study hopes to distinguish the Cartesian dualism of the ancient Egyptian religion by discussing the main points .

15 FEBRUARY 2015
THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICAThis study seeks to understand the tension between religion and state within Jewish tradition in light of historical realities, Jewish philosophy and modern religious responses. primary attention will be given to the works of Moses Maimonides, Nissim of Gerona and Don Isaac Abravanel. These scholars have been chosen as they may be regarded as the leaders of three distinct branches of thought on Jewish legal philosophy and political structure. Collectively, these traditions may be viewed as forming the cannon of Jewish political thought in which modern discourse operates. These archetypes of political thought may be identified as Maimonides’ unity model, Nissim of Gerona’s model of dualism and Abravanel’s model of collision. Attention is then given to reactions by Jewish religious-thinkers to both the emergence of modern political-Zionism in the late 19th century and the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The collective phenomena of political-Zionism, its aims and achievements may be seen as a radical departure from the traditional vision of Jewish religious thought. Broadly outlined, the responses to modern Zionism may be labelled as (i) rejection on the part of both the majority of the orthodox and the larger reform movement (albeit for very different reasons), (ii) The Mizrachi movement of religious Zionism based upon pragmatic necessity as outlined by Isaac Jacob Reines, (iii) messianic religious-Zionism as articulated by Abraham Isaac Kook and radicalised by his son Zvi Yehuda Kook. Attention will also be given to Eliezer Berkovits’ (2004: 140-141) conception of “a God-Centred Republic” in which modern Zionism is perceived as an opportunity for a return to Jewish national life without messianic implications. These various responses to the Zionist movement draw from the previous traditions of Jewish Mediaeval thought as well as from historical memory within Jewish thought both explicitly and implicitly (Ravitzky, 1998: 12-13; Stern, 2001). The manner in which both the Zionist endeavour and the State of Israel are conceived has broad implications for the status of secular authority within such a state and the level of engagement or distance that it should have with traditional religious authority. As such, a complete theoretical study of religion and state in Jewish religiouspolitical thought must include an investigation into the reception of Zionism as a vital component.
