Ford 760 Glossary 762 Index 794 vii Preface The main aim of this volume is to introduce the thought of most leading Christian theologians and movements in theology since the end of World War I (1914–18). Two criteria of selection were that the theologians should have written construct- ively on a broad range of theological issues, and that they should be widely studied at present, especially in universities, seminaries, and by others at the third level. There were also the more controversial criteria of quality and significance, and in some cases these have been decisive for inclusion. The contributors are mostly based in Europe or North America and come from a wide range of institutions, denominational backgrounds, and countries. Most are themselves constructively engaged in modern theology, and their purpose has been both to produce a scholarly account of their subject and also to carry further the theological dialogue in each case. So the aim has been partly “historical theology” but also the sort of engaged discussion that comes from those who are practitioners in the field. We have been acutely aware of the impossibility of trying to look at this vast field from every angle and of the limitations in our chosen way of trying to do some justice to it. The chapters try to help readers to think in a way appropriate to a theologian or movement while also encouraging dialogue and argument. The only way this can happen adequately is by close study of a theologian’s writings, and it is to these above all that we aim to introduce readers. The main intended use of this volume is therefore to prepare for, accompany, and aid reflection on the study of texts. Yet few will be able to read all these theologies, so the complementary intention is to give some grasp of the rest of the field, beyond what any particular person has read. There is a common pattern followed by most of the contributors: introduction, survey, content (concentrating on the main issues of a theology, or on particular members of movements), the debate about the content, an assessment of the theo- logy’s influence, achievement, and agenda for the future, and a short bibliography. Yet contributors have been allowed considerable freedom to adapt this pattern to their topic. In addition, each part of the book has a brief introduction. At the end of viii Preface the volume there is a glossary of key words and phrases which a student entering the field might not have met already. The grouping of theologians and movements into parts and sections should not have too much read into it. The arrangement has not been arrived at easily, because other schemes had almost equal advantages, and students of the two previous edi- tions will notice the changes. Our brief introductions try to explain the selections, but the overriding concern has been for the particularity of each theology as under- stood by another theologian. Part 1 concentrates on six theologians who are considered as classics of the twentieth century: Barth, Bonhoeffer, Tillich, de Lubac, Rahner, and Balthasar. (Bultmann probably deserves a place here too, but he is discussed under the heading of biblical interpretation in chapter 17.) None of those chosen is now living, three are Protestant, three Roman Catholic, and all except de Lubac are from German- speaking Europe (three Germans, two Swiss). That German-language tradition of academic theology perhaps deserves its prominence in this volume because, for all its problems and peculiarities, it is, as the Introduction explains, the most sustained and intensive example of engagement in the enterprise of modern theology in the nine- teenth and twentieth centuries. To know that tradition is to be acquainted with a range of paradigmatic attempts to tackle key issues of modernity and religion in theology. It is not by any means all-inclusive, but it has the diversity, the coherence, and the thinkers of genius that make it educationally the best single tradition through which to be introduced to what it means to do Christian theology in intelligent engagement with modern disciplines, societies, churches, and traumatic events.

    Contributions to English 2 Contributions to English and American Literary Studies 2 and American Literary Studies 2 Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Antje Kley / Kai Merten (eds.) Kai Merten (eds.) Merten Kai / What Literature Knows This volume sheds light on the nexus between knowledge and literature. Arranged What Literature Knows historically, contributions address both popular and canonical English and Antje Kley US-American writing from the early modern period to the present. They focus on how historically specific texts engage with epistemological questions in relation to Forays into Literary Knowledge Production material and social forms as well as representation. The authors discuss literature as a culturally embedded form of knowledge production in its own right, which deploys narrative and poetic means of exploration to establish an independent and sometimes dissident archive. The worlds that imaginary texts project are shown to open up alternative perspectives to be reckoned with in the academic articulation and public discussion of issues in economics and the sciences, identity formation and wellbeing, legal rationale and political decision-making. What Literature Knows The Editors Antje Kley is professor of American Literary Studies at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Her research interests focus on aesthetic forms and cultural functions of narrative, both autobiographical and fictional, in changing media environments between the eighteenth century and the present. Kai Merten is professor of British Literature at the University of Erfurt, Germany. His research focuses on contemporary poetry in English, Romantic culture in Britain as well as on questions of mediality in British literature and Postcolonial Studies. He is also the founder of the Erfurt Network on New Materialism.

  • The Limits of Naturalism and the Metaphysics of German Idealism
    1 The Limits of Naturalism and the Metaphysics of German Idealism Sebastian Gardner ‘In einem schwankenden Zeitalter scheut man alles Absolute und Selbständige; deshalb mögen wir denn auch weder ächten Spaß, noch ächten Ernst, weder ächte Tugend noch ächte Bosheit mehr leiden.’ − Nachtwachen von Bonaventura, Dritte Nachtwache One issue above all forces itself on anyone attempting to make sense of the development of German idealism out of Kant. Is German idealism, in the full sense of the term, metaphysical? The wealth of new anglophone, chiefly North American writing on German idealism, particularly on Hegel – characterized by remarkable depth, rigour, and creativity – has put the perennial question of German idealism’s metaphysicality in a newly sharp light, and in much of this new scholarship a negative answer is returned to the question. Recent interpretation of German idealism owes much to the broader philosophical environment in which it has proceeded. Over recent decades analytic philosophy has enlarged its view of the discipline’s scope and relaxed its conception of the methods appropriate to philosophical enquiry, and in parallel to this development analytically trained philosophers have returned to the history of philosophy, the study of which is now regarded by many as a legitimate and important (perhaps even necessary) form of philosophical enquiry. It remains the case, at the same time, that the kinds of philosophical positions most intensively worked on and argued about in non-historical, systematic analytic philosophy are predominantly naturalistic − and thus, on the face of it, not in any immediate and obvious sense receptive to the central ideas of German idealism.

Although it does not merit printed publication in its present state, Thoemmes Press has offered to typeset it at their expense, with the belief that, as a freely available computer file, it will be useful for Hume scholars as it is. It is my hope that someone in the future will prepare a more definitive work of this sort. The second is “A Bibliography of Early Responses to Hume,” which is taken directly from the final pages of Early Responses to Hume’s Life and Reputation (2003).

  • Introduction: a Great Reversal?
    Notes Introduction: A Great Reversal? 1. In their Die Xenien (1797) Schiller and Goethe have some verses which appear to be satirizing a Kantian moral conscience as plagued by the fact that “Gladly I serve my friends, by alas I do it with pleasure”, whereupon it decides that its only resource is “to despise them entirely, and then do with disgust what your duty demands” (Carus, ed., pp. 122–23). If really directed at Kant himself this badly misrepresents his view that the source of an action’s moral worth can most easily be perceived in cases where duty is followed in spite of the subject’s discomfort, which neither implies, nor was taken by Kant to imply, that there is anything necessarily morally compromising in enjoying what duty bids us do. 2. See the Critique of Practical Reason, pp. 114–17 [110–13] and 128–35 [124–31]. 3. Ameriks speaks of Kant’s “great reversal” in Ameriks 1982, p. 226. 4. Julian Young (2005, p. 35) so describes the quest to defend “Kant’s elevated conception of practical reason” after noting with apparent approval Schopenhauer’s view that to think immorality or amorality is inherently irrational is “just silly” and reminding us that Schopenhuaer would have cited Jesus Christ (“a paradigm of rationality?”, Young, p. 35) and Machiavelli (“a paragon of virtue?”, Young, p. 35) as obvious counterexamples. Now there is no doubt that Schopenhauer, like Hume, tended to regard practical irration- ality purely as a matter of failing to take means to gain ends acknowledged as such by the agent, rather than a failure to perceive non-instrumental reasons for not pursuing those ends in the first place (though why that should particularly cast doubt on Christ’s rationality remains unclear to me).

  • Norman Kemp Smith's Kant's Critique of Pure Reason Has Become a Classic of Philosophical Translation
    From the new Introduction by Howard Caygill: Norman Kemp Smith's Kant's Critique of Pure Reason has become a classic of philosophical translation. Since its first publication in I 929 it has been frequently reprinted, providing an English version of one of the most important and influential texts in the history of philosophy. Kemp Smith's translation made a major contribution not only to the understanding of Kant, but also to the Enlightenment that preceded and the remarkable developments in German philosophy that suc- ceeded him. Kemp Smith's version of the Critique has become the translation of reference, serving as the touchstone of qual- ity not only for subsequent attempts at translation but also, apocryphally, for the original German. The success of the translation is due not only to its eloquence - it manages to translate Kant into the language of Hume- but also to the sense that the translation is itself a philosophical event of considerable significance.
