Liturgists in North America tended to use anthropology in the mid­ seventies to justify liberal positions, and produced an odd fragmented reading of 'rite'. For an insightful sociological account of the way in which liturgy renewal was shaped to reflect liberal American assump­ tions see Kenneth Smits, 'Liturgical Reform in Cultural Perspective', Worship, vol. 50, no. 2, March 1976, pp. 98-110. The issue of feminism started to creep into the question of methodology, making suggestions on the wider cultural implications of rite suspect and insular. See Mary Collins, 'Liturgical Methodology and the Cultural Evolution of Wor­ ship in the United States', Worship, vol. 49, no. 2, March 1975, pp. 85- 102. For a more subtle and sociologically acceptable use of similar types of material, put to good critical use, see James Hitchcock, The Recovery of the Sacred, New York: The Seabury Press, 1974.

  • The Priority of Silence Recovering an Anterior Sense Of
    The Priority of Silence Recovering an anterior sense of “active receptivity” to acquire right relationship with contemporary digital media environments. by John David O’Brien A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Regis College and the Theology Department of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College. © John David O’Brien 2012 The Priority of Silence John David O’Brien Master of Arts University of St. Michael’s College 2012 ABSTRACT In a digital age where human interaction and knowledge is increasingly conditioned by the binary logic of our technological devices, concerns mount regarding the liabilities and losses the human person is incurring at the personal and social, cognitive and spiritual levels. The thesis of this study is that a right relationship with our electronic artifices is possible only through a recovery of a sense of human contingency and creaturehood, a sense that can be fostered through the priority of “active receptivity” to the givenness of being. This attitude can be acquired through an experience of the fullness of silence, a silence that is necessary for authentic communication to occur and that is modeled for us in phenomenological study and in sacred scripture. Experiences of silence can, in the end, lead us to the cultivation and maintenance of right relationships with our technologies, with others and with God. ii Endless invention, endless experiment, Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; Knowledge of speech, but not of silence; Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.

  • Regionalism and Its Diverse Framings in German-Speaking Europe Across the Long Twentieth-Century
    Regionalism and its Diverse Framings in German-speaking Europe Across the Long Twentieth-Century Jeremy DeWaal Introduction In the 1950s, a German regionalist from the city of Lübeck, reflecting on the plight of German expellees, wrote on how being forced out of one’s regional place of home was to be made into an ‘only German,’ a term that sounded ‘uncanny’ to his ears. They must never, he argued, abandon the regionalist and federalist ideas. 1 The passage reflected a notion of Germanness as defined by regional diversity—an idea popularized by the ‘Heimat movement’ around the turn of the century. The idea of ‘Heimat’ referred to a sense of belonging and cultural uniqueness within local and regional places that could be extended abstractly to the nation at large. The concept proved central to German, Austrian, and Swiss regionalisms, which promoted regional cultural particularities through ‘Heimat books,’ ‘Heimat journals,’ ‘Heimat festivals,’ and diverse ‘Heimat traditions.’ While this chapter focuses primarily on regionalism in Germany, the question of ethnically-mixed regions, contested borderlands, shifting national borders, and violent struggle over who and what regions belonged to the nation render a broader purview of German-speaking Europe useful. At different times, millions of ethnic German regionalists lived either outside Germany or, particularly in the latter half of the century, within a German nation-state but outside of regions from which they had been expelled. A broader purview on German-speaking Europe, meanwhile, allows for comparative consideration of examples from neighbouring Austria and Switzerland, which demonstrate both parallel and divergent developments. The political framings of regionalism in German-speaking Europe were diverse.

  • A Philosophical Dialog Between Joseph Ratzinger and Jürgen Habermas
    January 19, 2004: Professor Jürgen Habermas speaking with then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger at the Bavarian Catholic Academy in Munich. Used by permission. © Katholische Akademie in Bayern 2004. Virgil Nemoianu The Church and the Secular Establishment A Philosophical Dialog between Joseph Ratzinger and Jürgen Habermas Dialogs between leading thinkers of the Roman Catholic Church and other philosophies, theologies, or bodies of opinion and power are not a novelty. In fact, it would be correct to say that they have been a characteristic of the Catholic tradition over centuries or millennia, and that they constitute a salient difference between Catholicism and most other confessions or religions. Intersections and combinations with Platonism and Aristotelianism date from the very beginnings of Christianity. The Catholic Church or some of its leading intellectuals have responded in nuanced and complex ways to philosophies such as rationalism (Descartes), the classical and romantic movements, phenomenology, and even extreme left- and right-wing ideologies. One small example of such a dialog was a very few years ago the exchange of public letters between Arch- bishop and Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini and the semiotic critic and philosopher Umberto Eco. Some of these dialogs have proved to be highly fruitful and en- riching, while others turned out to be dead ends or even deleteri- ous. We can leave history the privilege to make detailed judgments on each of these, but we can also agree, I think, that this incessant logos 9 :2 spring 2006 18 logos process maintained the healthy liveliness of Catholic intellectual life. That is why the discussion between Jürgen Habermas and Jo- seph Ratzinger (as the future Pontiff Benedict XVI was called at the time and as I shall call him throughout this presentation) stirred unusually high waves in European intellectual life.

  • The-Holocaust.Pdf
    THE HOLOCAUST The Holocaust: Origins, Implementation, Aftermath presents a critical and important study of the Holocaust. Complete with an introduction that summarises the state of the field, this book contains major reinterpretations by leading Holocaust authors along with key texts on testimony, memory, and justice after the catastrophe. Many of the pieces challenge conventional interpretations and preconceived notions about the Holocaust, whether they have to do with the centrality of anti- Semitism, the importance of economic calculations, or the timing of the decision on the ‘Final Solution’. Starting with the background of the Holocaust by focusing on anti-Semitism and scientific racism as being at the root of the ‘Final Solution’, the book goes on to examine the context of the decision to unleash the genocide of the Jews. Three powerful texts then provide readers with a close look at the psychology of a perpetrator, the attitude of the bystanders, and the fate of the victims. Finally, there is an analysis of survivors’ oral testimonies, a deeply revealing discussion on the limits of transmitting the experience of the camps to posterity, and a powerful plea for the prosecution of crimes against humanity. Omer Bartov is Professor of European History at Rutgers University and has written on the Holocaust, Nazi Germany and modern France. His books include Mirrors of Destruction: War, Genocide and Modern Identity (2000); Murder in Our Midst: The Holocaust, Industrial Killing, and Representation (1996); and Hitler’s Army: Soldiers, Nazis and War in the Third Reich (1991).

Scheuch* Germany: An Enigma? Uncertain Knowledge and Definite Beliefs During the last two decades, Germany has been one of the most fre• quently studied societies. Yet there is less agreement among social resear• chers today than earlier about the presumed characteristics of Germany (1). No recent social science treatise has the authority of Lowie's The Ger• man People, which dealt with pre-World War I social structure (2). Empi• rical researchers are more and more prompted to confess limitations to their knowledge. At the same time, however, a great many people in a great many countries hold very strong beliefs about what they consider to be the unique features of Germany.

But we must not be surprised if they no longer matter much to us.” —Cioran2 “the Sun and the Moon began to move [se movimentar], and the volcanoes began to move [se movimentar] tearing the womb of fear [o ventre do medo] (deep inside myself [no fundo … eu mesma]); from the fire, men were born and from the sea enormous pieces of female bodies appeared, covered in gelatine, making themselves, composing themselves: it was disturbing.

Rasmussen The French philosopher Gabriel Marcel (1889-1973) was deeply influenced by the classical tradition of American philosophy. Marcel’s first essays focused upon the philosophy of Josiah Royce (1855-1916). Royce impressed Marcel due to his ability to engage in bold, imaginative construction and yet remain “faithful to the empirical tradition, which he deepened and enriched….” Marcel was also deeply influenced by William Ernest Hocking’s (1873-1966) major work, The Meaning of God in Human Experience which, for Marcel, not only reaffirmed the religious dimension of human experience but also served as “an advance in the direction of that metaphysical realism toward which I resolutely tended.” Lastly, Marcel had a sustained personal and philosophical relationship with Henry G. Bugbee Jr. (1915-1999) of the University of Montana. Marcel first met Bugbee at Harvard University while delivering the William James Lectures in 1961.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Everyone knows that writing the acknowledgments for one’s dissertation is the hardest writing one will do for the doctoral degree. I could be cute and point my reader to the first chapter of this dissertation where I mention the silence that arises from the inability of language to convey the proper magnitude of a moral feeling, the moral feeling in this case being gratitude. Can a few words on this page really convey my appreciation for all the persons and offices that have made it possible for me to finish this project? Absolutely not.
