Abstract:
Abstract This paper explores a variety of perfect being theism that combines Yujin Nagasawa’s maximal God thesis with the view that God is not atemporal. We argue that the original maximal God thesis still implicitly relies on a “static” view of divine perfections. Instead, following the recent re-evaluation of divine immutability by analytic philosophers, we propose that thinking of divine great-making properties (omnipotence, omniscience etc.) as fluctuating but nevertheless remaining maximal either for every time t or across all times strengthens the original maximal God thesis. Furthermore, we show that “temporalising” Nagasawa’s maximal God and adopting what we call the fluctuating maximal God thesis provides more effective ways of responding to objections to perfect being theism, in particular, the argument from evil and some conceptual problems pertaining to the Incarnation. Finally, we demonstrate that our proposal is compatible with Christian Scriptures and coheres with numerous biblical passages better than Nagasawa’s original proposal does.

Abstract:
<strong>Abstract</strong> This paper examines in a comparative manner the death of God in Friedrich Nietzsche and the non-existence of God in Jean-Paul Sartre. As an undertone, it attempts to address man&rsquo;s self-denials, alienation and failure to assert his freedom and independence which was occasioned by his over-reliance on the God-thesis; a situation where every human problem is being interpreted in terms of a divine determinist who had predestined every human experience. Nietzsche found in the Athenian and German cultures the Dionysian spirit required to restore the freedom of Dasein, while Sartre adopted the French revolutionary consciousness and spirit of freedom to address this problem. The death of God in Nietzsche means the death of belief in the God-thesis, the rejection of determinism or fixed principles and the birth of, freedom or superman. On the other hand, Sartre&rsquo;s non-existence of God is a demonstration of the absolute freedom of for-itself and the absence of a creative God who creates essences. Our analysis shows that though there are some cosmetic and structural differences in terms of terminology and logical structure of their arguments, the content and intent of their works as it relates to the subject of discourse are essentially the same; hence they are grouped together as atheistic existentialists. Our work adopts the content cum textual- analytic methods of study. &nbsp;

Abstract:
The thesis concerns the perception of the Church and liturgy by Joseph Ratzinger as well as his ecclesiology called <em>communio.</em> In accordance with principles of priority, on which the ecclesiology is based, the thesis is divided into three parts. The thesis is based on being in communion with God which is a condition for being in communion with a man as well as about dynamics of giving instead of getting God&rsquo;s gifts and the priority of universal Church to local Churches. The thesis comprises the picture of God which is introduced to the world by Judeo-Christian revelation at the same time it is presenting the picture of a man which is created on the basis of the picture of God. The communion with God is a result of these relations. The thesis explains the principle of &ldquo;priority of getting before acting&rdquo; and interprets <em>communio sanctorum.</em> Moreover, the problem of ecclesio-creative faith and the Eucharist are also contemplated in this thesis statement. The centrism of Christ, the vision of the Church as communion and the problem why is it called <em>logos-sarx</em> ecclesiology are also explained here. The thesis is based on arguments that are for ontological vision and being at the same time they are for temporal priority of the universal Church to local churches, which is promoted by Ratzinger. The role of The Holy Ghost for the Church to become known is also pointed in this thesis as well as the role of christening. The Church is seen here as a mystical communion for various local communities united with sacramental bond.

Full text
Abstract:
Linda Zagzebski argues that God is omnisubjective: that God has a perfect first-person grasp of all subjective states, including belief states. While it’s impossible for any finite being to be omnisubjective, what’s impossible for finite beings may be possible for God. According to Zagzebski, divine omnisubjectivity is not only possible, but entailed by divine omniscience. In this paper, I argue that we should distinguish between three forms of divine omnisubjectivity: propositional omnisubjectivity (the thesis that God knows all first-person subjective propositions), perspectival omnisubjectivity (the thesis that God assumes all first-person subjective perspectives), and phenomenal omnisubjectivity (the thesis that God grasps all first-person phenomenal states). Distinguishing these forms of omnisubjectivity is important, since we should have different attitudes towards these different forms of omnisubjectivity: while propositional and perspectival omnisubjectivity are trivial or impossible (and not entailed by omniscience), phenomenal omnisubjectivity is interesting, epistemically possible, and suggested by other divine attributes.

AbstractWe utilize contemporary cognitive and social science of religion to defend a controversial thesis: the human cognitive apparatus gratuitously inclines humans to religious activity oriented around entities other than the God of classical theism. Using this thesis, we update and defend two arguments drawn from David Hume: (i) the argument from idolatry, which argues that the God of classical theism does not exist, and (ii) the argument from indifference, which argues that if the God of classical theism exists, God is indifferent to our religious activity.

Abstract:
It seems odd that in such a densely theological text that Augustine would bring up something like the KK-thesis, which is so epistemological. Yet, as one progresses through the book it does begin to make sense. In this paper, I aim to try to come to some understanding of how and why Augustine uses something like the KK-thesis in Book 11 of The City of God. The paper will progress in the following way: First, I discuss Jaakko Hintikka’s work on the KK- thesis in order to have a clear idea of what the KK-thesis is, and some associated problems with it. Next, since Augustine most explicitly deals with the KK-thesis in De Trinitate, with the help of Gareth Matthews work, I discuss Augustine’s use of the KK-thesis there. Finally, I return to The City of God, in order come to an understanding of Augustine’s use of the KK-thesis there.

Abstract:
This study presumesthat between the thesis of the Unum argumentumof San Anselmo and the thesis of Zubiri on the problem of God–man is emptiedfrom his radical structure to the Θεός–, there is a circular hermeneutical relationship. With the resources offered by this type of argument, applied to the relationship that may exist between the two authors, it is possible to uncover an intellectual continuity between San Anselmo's argument and Zubiri's concept of reality, preserving the formal structure of the former's thesis. Both theses can be complemented, in a two-way relationship, as support for a more comprehensive philosophical reflection on the problem of God. The possibility of this complementation passes through the affirmation in Zubiri that God is the fundamental reality; and not the supreme being, much less an entity.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractJohn Zizioulas's doctrine of the Trinity emphasises both the holy love and the transcendent sovereignty of God. I believe that he offers a major contribution to contemporary theology. Although it is part of the tradition of Western theology, Zizioulas's ‘Being as Communion’ thesis has too often been underappreciated and sometimes even marginalised. On the other hand, recent theology has made much of the love of God, but often this has come with a corresponding and unfortunate loss of recognition of divine holiness, transcendence and freedom. Zizioulas may help us keep both the love and the holiness of the triune God in perspective. Unfortunately, however, Zizioulas's own way of doing this is fraught with problems. In this essay I try to shed light on two major themes in his trinitarian theology. One – what I call the Sovereignty-Aseity Conviction – appears at base to be an existentialist thesis: the existence of the Father precedes the divine essence. The other – what I refer to as the Being as Communion thesis – is an essentialist thesis: the holy love shared in the perichoretic life of the triune God is ‘constitutive of his substance’. I argue that Zizioulas's ascription of the first to the Father alone is problematic, and I argue further that these two theses do not work well together. I conclude by suggesting that Zizioulas's theology needs revision if it is to be truly helpful.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the portrayal of Elijah Kamski as a God-like figure in the video game Detroit: Become Human and explores the impacts of his godlikeness. Detroit: Become Human is an interactive drama game developed by Quantic Dream and released in 2018. The narrative centers on androids created by Elijah Kamski, who gain self-awareness and begin to develop human-like empathy. By applying Jones’ (1923) concept of the God Complex and the DSM-5’s (2022) criteria for narcissistic personality disorder, this study identifies key actions and behaviors that contribute to Kamski’s depiction as a God-like figure. Additionally, this analysis incorporates Driscoll’s (2016) “White Man’s God Complex” and Khorram-Manesh’s (2024) work on the impacts of narcissistic leadership to demonstrate how these traits underscore social inequality and societal instability caused by the androids’ creation. This thesis argues that Kamski’s God Complex—an extreme manifestation of narcissism—positions him as a God-like character within the game. His portrayal significantly influences the narrative, leading to the dehumanization and abuse of androids.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the spirituality and participation in faith-based activities of young Catholics in Whangarei, New Zealand. Six youth aged 16-17 years have shared their experiences in several areas of Catholicism such as religious attendance, Catholic identity and Catholic faith, morals and values, peer group socialisation and religious commitment. Using a qualitative mixed-methodological approach with the underlying philosophical stance of interpretivism, the intent of the study is to discover ways in which these young Catholics integrate their faith into their daily lives and make meaning out of it. It also compares the religious beliefs and values of Catholic youth in Whangarei to those reported worldwide. The findings reveal many similar themes to those from international studies. Although all of the participants in this study possessed a distinct sense of ‘spirituality’ and being ‘Catholic’ was a very important part of their identity, not all of them seemed to consider it practical to live out their Catholic beliefs. Similarly, although they did not face any insurmountable challenges in practicing their faith in daily life, only a few of them had strong convictions about their faith and, like their peers in other countries, only a few could concretely list the core Catholic beliefs. Concepts of moralistic therapeutic deism were found to affect half the participants while nuances of moralistic relativism were also prevalent. Results also showed a growing disinterest in attending Mass, participating in the sacrament of Confession, leading an active prayer life, being a part of church youth activities and some difficulty in finding similar peer group support. Overall, the findings presented in this thesis suggested that the participants involved in the study could be separated into two groups on the basis of their differing spiritual levels and commitment to the Catholic faith The findings suggest a need for Catholic youth in Whangarei to be supported in their spiritual development in order to help them grow in their Catholic faith. Accordingly, the main recommendations are for community-based services such as providing a variety of youth programmes/groups to engage young people and finding ways to facilitate the secure engagement of youth in a dialogue about their faith and religion, in order to spiritually encourage, nourish and sustain them at whatever stage they might be at.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper is devoted to the problem of imitation of maps in the late Renaissance Polish poetry (between 1580 and 1630). The author first discusses the special interest in cartography that existed among the Polish elite and poets of the period. The main thesis of the paper is that poets widely used map-based techniques in constructing their poems. Imitation (imitatio) played a crucial role in this process. To illustrate this concept, the author analyses the work of five poets: S.F. Klonowic, K. Miaskowski, S. Petrycy, M.K. Sarbiewski and Sz. Szymonowic. Looking at the shared topoi used in poems and maps and investigating how the late Renaissance poets described the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, allows the author to draw a similarity between controlling space in poetry and maps. This suggests the idea of ruling over space might be related to the 16th-century idea of a God-like poet.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractValues are controversial and the discourse on values is a discourse on crisis. Simultaneously, it becomes clear that values must also be learned. This connection between values and education becomes even more dynamic when one enters the field of religion and politics. How can religious or even Christian values be conveyed in the heterogeneity of late-modern societies in such a way that they have an orienting and meaningful effect without demoting the goals of autonomy? The reflections here aim to develop a profile of values education, which will then be defined with examples from the EVS research. The following considerations attempt to clarify the concept of values, develop a profile of religious values education, and provide a real-life illustration of this by using the example of compassion education. In doing so, the following thesis is validated: Religious education is by no means identical to values education. But it can make a critical and productive contribution to the current discourse on values precisely because of its specificity regarding the idea of God and its integrative, politically dimensioned concept of education. This concept of education is self-reflexive, since it includes consideration of the unreflective assumptions of the EVS and its context.

Abstract:
The way I write — by which I mean both the practices I follow and (please God) the style of my writing — has changed over the years: though, as I tell all my students, that doesn’t mean it’s become any easier.I wrote my PhD thesis (on the woolen industry in Yorkshire between 1780 and 1840) in three weeks. Really. Starting at 7a.m., with thirty minutes off for lunch (including a walk to the corner shop for a newspaper, trailed by our deeply suspicious cat all the way there and all the way back), an hour off for dinner and the quick pleasure of a novel, knocking off at midnight. Every day for twenty-one days. When I finished I promised myself I’d never work like that again. Years later, while I was writing The Colonial Present, I became wholly absorbed in the attempt to keep up with a cascade of real-time events in multiple places. My training as an historical geographer hadn’t prepared me for that — I’d always envied the ability of colleagues writing about contempo-rary issues to make sense of a world that was changing around them as they wrote — and there were times when I yearned for the less frenetic pace of archival work. But I wasn’t writing to a deadline — though as the project swelled beyond an analysis of the US-led invasion of Afghanistan to include Israel’s renewed assault on occupied Palestine and then the US-led invasion of Iraq, I decided I must finish before Bush invaded France.

Abstract I have argued against five ways to interpret the thesis that there cannot be morality without God. Chapter Two: Belief in God is not needed in order for an individual to be a morally good person. Chapter Three: Belief in God is not needed in order for a society to avoid depravity and disintegration. Chapters Four and Five: God is not needed in order for certain acts to be objectively morally wrong. Chapter Six: Belief in God is not needed in order for us to have a reason to be moral. Chapter Seven: Belief in God is not needed in order for us to know what is morally wrong.

Abstract Plantinga recounts of his wife that “on first hearing she thought the thesis of God and Other Minds—which might be summarized as the idea that belief in God and belief in other minds are in the same epistemological boat—was one of the sillier things she had heard:’ The two beliefs did not strike her as at all comparable. Why not? The likeliest answer I can surmise is that the existence of other minds appears so evident and sure compared with the existence of God. Whereas sane people doubt the existence of God, surely sane people do not doubt the existence of other minds with thoughts, feelings, and desires other than their own. Here, it has been said, is a great and evident difference between belief in God and belief in other minds.

Abstract:
Part I contains an exposition of Sam Huntington’s thesis about the clash of civilisations ac- cording to Gülen. Huntington’s writings are far from being realistic evaluations regarding the future. Rather, they are more like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Gülen argues that by creat- ing new enemy fronts, Huntington actually sows the seeds for a clash of civilisations on the basis of religious and cultural differences. Part II looks at Gulen’s response to Huntington’s thesis and has three parts: tolerance, interfaith dialogue, and compassionate love. Tolerance means closing our minds to the faults of others, respecting ideas with which we disagree, and when attacked verbally, responding with mildness or as the Qur’an says, with ‘gentle words.’ Interfaith dialogue involves stressing the commonalities between the world religions, rather than past polemics and historical differences. In regard to compassionate love Gülen calls the universe a symphony of compassion because without compassion everything is in chaos. Souls filled with love are in Gülen’s view, the greatest heroes in the cosmos. The way of love is the way of the prophets. Part III contains my own views on the clash of civilisations. Written in the spirit of Gülen, I argue that in contradistinction to Huntington, the Muslim world is not monolithic, that many of the past wars and clashes were within the same civilisa- tion, and that the real clash is between extremists of all types and moderates within the same culture or civilisation. I also highlight the ecumenical message of Islam, namely, that all religion deserve respect and courtesy, that followers of different religious traditions should compete with one another in piety, and that the rope that links us to God also links us to one another (Qur’an 3:103).

Abstract:
The works of the “metaphysical” poet John Donne can be freely considered as one of the biggest influences of twentieth century English poetry. It was because of the modernist writers that Donne came to be popular again in the modern world. Modernist poets saw their own ideas and aspirations in Donne’s raging, controversial, highly intellectual poetry, a possibility of which they gained from the poetics of “metaphysical” verse itself. In terms of “getting back” to the “metaphysics”, 20th century literature greatly owes to T.S Eliot. In his critical theories and poetic practice Eliot notonly analyses Donne’s poetry, but he also regenerates “metaphysical” poetics in his own works. Thanks to T.S Eliot this knowledge was later shared with all Anglo-American modernist poetry. One of the most important artistic techniques which is so characteristic of both Donne’s and Eliot’s poetics is” metaphysical” wit. It tends to create such a surprising effect, that is achieved by comparison and drawing of totally different ideas and images together. In order to express wit "Metaphysicians" use conceit – a complex, widespread metaphor that can express both intellect and fantasy at the same time. One of the most famous examples of a conceit in Donne’s poetry is found in his late poem called “Hymn to God, my God, in my Sickness”. Here the author identifies himself with a map, whereas he calls the doctors cosmographers. The same artistic effect is noticed in Eliot’s famous poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”. In this poem the stillness of the evening is compared to a patient “etherized upon a table”. There are lots of such imitations of Donne’s poetry in Eliot’s works. These very parallels of Donne’s and Eliot’s lyrics are discussed in my thesis, where I try to demonstrate how the influence of the 17thcentury poetry worked on Eliot’s early poems.

Abstract:
My argument is that the history of space can be built by montage. I'm a documentary filmmaker and editor. I understand film as a support for writing in fragments. I think that the filmic form, capable of carrying movements and times, testimonies and texts, past and present, is a suitable support for the history of space. There is a visual form of knowledge and a wisdom of the gaze, as in Warburg's Atlas, largely disregarded by the academy as a way of producing knowledge. If montage is a polyphonic device that uses forgotten remains and heterogeneous narrations to dismantle the official story and reassemble another story from its critical constellations, no instrument seems to me more adequate than a film to execute it. Through the search for other ways of narrating the urban experience, following Benjamin from the rags and the residues, operating knowledge from the anarchic potentialities of the fragment and the problematization through doubt, through the incomplete and through the unfinished. For Didi-Huberman, the empirical and creative exercise proposed by Benjamin is capable of bringing out other possibilities from the dismantling of certainties. It allows us to think through the differences in the gaps left between the fragments. The montage allows for the simultaneity of times and the emergence of symptoms, the revelation of failures, conflicts, heterogeneity, in perforating tradition and colliding with the text. If montage serves all this, it also serves the decolonization of perspectives and methodologies, serves to narrate the history of subalterns and the hidden histories of empires. It also can be used to articulate memory, narration and history in the attempt to grasp reality. I propose the use of cinematographic montage as a method of knowledge production, as an important part of the research and whose result will be a constitutive and inseparable part of the thesis. Film as a method for the social sciences. In addition to assembling the fragments, the author's narrative interference is a critical point of the proposed experience. Delivering an account of the position from which one narrates is, therefore, fundamental. The narration does not impose itself as a voice of God over the material, as it neither affirms nor has certainties. It is organized on the incompleteness of the process. The narration sheds light on the background of the painting, on what History disregarded, on what was considered disposable or unimportant by the discourse of the dominator. It is thinking through differences and from the cracks of what was enunciated by the authority. It is thinking from accidents and ghosts.I propose the integration of the result of film montage experience in the general organization of the thesis, so that the chapters can vary between the two supports, text and film, being organized according to what the material itself indicates.
