Joseph M. Kramp 《Pastoral Psychology》2007,55(4):441-458
In this second successive essay on Merton’s melancholia, the author argues that the period of Merton’s romantic involvement
with Margie Smith reflects a desire on Merton’s part to adopt the religion of hope. The author argues that this period of
romantic involvement was especially taxing on Merton. In this period, the author argues that Merton developed a conflicted
understanding of the Christian God, which manifested itself in confusion over sexual matters and vocational matters among
others. Finally, the author points to numerous instances in which the Roman Catholic Church exacerbated Merton’s existing
problems. 相似文献

In an earlier article on Erik H. Erikson’s earliest writings (Capps, 2007), I focused on the relationship between the child’s melancholia and conflict with maternal authority, and drew attention
to the restorative role of humor. In this article, I discuss two of the three chapters in part three, “The Growth of the Ego,”
of Erikson’s first major book, Childhood and Society [Erikson, Childhood and society. New York: W. W. Norton, 1950, Childhood and society (rev. edition). New York: W. W. Norton, 1963]. I explore the same theme of the relationship of melancholia and the mother, but focus on the restorative role of play.
I interpret the differences between the two cases in light of Sigmund Freud’s essay, “Mourning and Melancholia” [Freud, Mourning
and melancholia. In S. Freud, General psychological theory (pp. 164–179). P. Rieff (ed.). New York: Collier Books. 1963].

Erik H. Erikson wrote three articles when he was in his late-twenties and an up-and-coming member of the psychoanalytic community
in Vienna. At the time he wrote these articles, he was in a training psychoanalysis with Anna Freud, teaching at the Heitzing
School in Vienna, and learning the Montessori method of teaching. These articles focus on the loss of primary narcissism and
the development of the superego (or punitive conscience) in early childhood, especially through the child’s conflict with
maternal authority. They support the idea that melancholia, with its internalized rage against the mother, is the inevitable
outcome of the loss of primary narcissism. I note, however, that the third of these articles makes a case for the restorative
role of humor, especially when Freud’s view that humor is a function of the superego is taken into account.

John Prine’s Images of God and Male Melancholia: Terror,Forgiveness, and the Persistence of Desire 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Philip Browning Helsel 《Journal of religion and health》2007,46(3):359-368
Examines the God-representations of the country-folk singer John Prine in the light of psychological theory about male melancholia,
drawing from Donald Capps and Erik H. Erikson. Describes the manner in which songwriting serves as a therapeutic enterprise
to express and interpret melancholia in Prine's lyrics, especially in the songs "Saddle in the Rain" and "Fish and Whistle."
At times these images evoke terror and at other times they humorously erase the authority divide between the divine and the
human, suggesting that God may even need to be forgiven. Describing how melancholia is rooted in the man's experience with
mother, this article interprets Prine's image of God in light of the need for sustenance, acknowledgement, and care.

For the last several decades, philosophers have wrestled with the proper place of religion in liberal societies. Usually, the debates among these philosophers have started with the articulation of various conceptions of liberalism and then proceeded to locate religion in the context of these conceptions. In the process, however, too little attention has been paid to the way religion is conceived. Drawing on the work of Robert Audi and Nicholas Wolterstorff, two scholars who are often read as holding opposing views on these issues, I argue that, for the purposes of their argument about liberalism, both have implicitly accepted a concept of religion that has come under severe attack in recent work on the subject. Namely, they have accepted a concept of religion that identifies religion primarily with belief, ritual practice, and ecclesial institutions. Following recent scholarship, I suggest that religion is better conceived as a kind of culture. To conclude the essay, I gesture toward what the beginnings of a re-visioned debate about religion and liberal society might look like if one started from this revised conception of religion. 相似文献

This article considers the traditional Islamic narrative in the light of the theory of religion espoused by John Hick (1922–2012). We see how the Islamic narrative changes on a Hickean understanding of religion, particularly in the light of the ‘bottom-up’ approach and trans-personal conception of the religious ultimate that it espouses. Where the two readings of Islam appear to conflict, I suggest how they can be reconciled. I argue that if Hick’s theory is incompatible with Islamic belief, then this incompatibility does not manifest itself at the level of belief in the narrative. 相似文献

Donald Capps’s (Capps 1997, 2001, 2002a, b) male melancholia theory has been of interest to me during the past few years (Carlin 2003, 2006, 2007), and Capps (2004, 2007a, b) himself has been publishing more on the topic. In his psychobiographical book on Jesus, Capps (2000) notes that psychologists of religion have been reluctant to psychoanalyze Jesus, and here I note that even fewer have been willing to diagnose God, one recent exception being J. Harold Ellens (2007). In this article, I explore the melancholia issue further, this time applying the theory to God by means of theological concepts that deal with the Trinity and the passion of God. And while this article is playful (Pruyser 1974; cf. Dykstra 2001), the upshot is more serious: If men are incurably religious and melancholic, as Capps argues, and if men, by and large, are the creators of religion, wouldn’t one expect to find traces of this melancholy in religion, particularly in its sacred texts and doctrines? By identifying these tendencies in religion, especially in God, the pastoral psychologist, I believe, is helping contemporary Christian men—especially fathers and sons—recognize their own melancholy selves and, perhaps, helping them get along a little better. 相似文献

Matheson Russell 《Sophia》2011,50(4):641-655
This essay considers the philosophical and theological significance of the phenomenological analysis of Christian faith offered
by the early Heidegger. It shows, first, that Heidegger poses a radical and controversial challenge to philosophers by calling
them to do without God in an unfettered pursuit of the question of being (through his ‘destruction of onto-theology’); and,
second, that this exclusion nonetheless leaves room for a form of philosophical reflection upon the nature of faith and discourse
concerning God, namely for a philosophy of religion in a phenomenological mode (as exemplified most clearly in Heidegger’s 1920/21 lectures on the phenomenology of religious life). However, it is argued
that the theological roots of Heidegger’s own phenomenological analyses subvert his frequently asserted claim concerning the
incompatibility of Christian faith and philosophical inquiry. 相似文献

This is an examination of two essays on minimal religion by Mikhail Epstein (1982 and 1999), assessing the usefulness of the
term ‘minimal religion’ for the analysis of religion in contemporary Russia.
An adapted version of a paper delivered at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES), University of London,
on 8 December, 2003. Note regarding Mikhail Epstein’s use of the words ‘religion’, ‘religiosity’ and ‘spirituality’: Epstein
uses the word ‘religion’ to signify ‘mainstream’, church-based manifestations of religion and also the institutional, hierarchical
structures related to those. Although in English usage the word ‘religiosity’ has negative connotations – signifying either
a superficially felt religious sentiment or a somehow false and insincere expression of religious feeling, intended for outward
show – Epstein appears to use the term entirely neutrally. For him it simply serves as a synonym for the word ‘spirituality’.
In the two essays examined in the present article the word ‘spirituality’ signifies the whole inner spiritual life and aspirations
of the individual and her/his reflection on an ethical way of living, whether the person concerned is a committed, church-going
believer, or someone engaged in a personal spiritual or philosophical quest for meaning, or else someone who has experienced
what Epstein refers to as ‘the wilderness’ of the Soviet years and has learnt of a spiritual dimension to life through that
formative experience. 相似文献

Raja Bahlul 《Islam & Christian-Muslim Relations》2018,29(3):331-347
The object of this article is to review and evaluate a debate that has been taking place among Muslim and Arab writers for some time now about the concept of ‘dawla madaniyya’ (‘civil state/government’), and the place of religion in democratic politics. More precisely, it will be suggested that the current popularity of the term ‘dawla madaniyya’ signifies only a partial meeting of minds between Islamists and their liberal and secular opponents. By and large, the concept seems to have an instrumental value as part of an on-going discursive struggle between various political orientations about the place of Islam in the social–political order. On the basis of our discussion of the terms of the debate, a new approach to conceptualizing the disagreement will be suggested. The goal of this is not to resolve the disagreement, but rather to sharpen it in a way that shows what is required to achieve significant progress. The final resolution of the disagreement must await a more radical convergence of ideas than currently exists – a convergence that touches not only on standards of reasonableness but also on substantive beliefs and values. 相似文献

In this paper I attempt to capture the essence of Nelson Pike’s contribution to the philosophy of religion. My summary of
his insights will revolve around three general topics: omniscience (and in particular its relation to human freedom), omnipotence (and in particular its relation to the existence of human suffering), and mysticism (with a focus on the question of whether and in what sense mystic visions can be sources of knowledge). Although the details
vary in interesting ways, his work on these topics largely consists of recognizing an important challenge to the viability
of the relevant doctrine or framework, sharpening that challenge by presenting it in a more forceful way, and then offering
and assessing potential responses. Pike’s writings are characterized by exemplary rigor and relentless clarity, and together
they constitute a rich (and under-appreciated) source of insight. 相似文献

Presuming Rayburn’s (2006: Child & Family Behavior Therapy, 28, 86–92) review of (Paloutzian and Park, 2005, Handbook of the psychology of religion and spirituality. New York: The Guilford Press) and sketching an alternative paradigm, this review focuses on the Handbook’s virtual conflation of religion and spirituality; relates this conflation to the hegemony of Protestant theology in North
American psychology of religion; highlights the Handbook’s neglect of spirituality per se, which, if not inseparably linked with theism, is, nevertheless, related to the self-transcending,
meaning-making dimension of the human mind, could provide an explanatory breakthrough in the field of the psychology of religion
and of the social sciences overall; and sees Handbook’s advocacy for a “multilevel interdisciplinary paradigm” as a regrettable acceptance of the failed, long-term strategy of the
field of psychology in general. 相似文献

The aim of this paper is to discuss some assumptions of comparative philosophy by providing a critical analysis of Hegel’s perception of China and other non-European cultures in relation to Kant’s anthropological works. The main assumption of comparative philosophy is that the temporal-cognitive distance between Plato and Diderot is irrelevant compared to the geographic-cultural distance between Plato and Confucius or Diderot and Dai Zhen. This paper will demonstrate that this culturalist assumption is also a legacy of Hegel’s history of philosophy, whose anthropological basis and historicist framework needs to be deconstructed. Finally, this paper will make reference to Victor Cousin, the French philosopher who introduced German philosophy in France, to show how this thinker’s adaptation of Hegel’s history of philosophy allows us to propose a more inclusive conception of the value of non-European cultures’ intellectual productions and to elaborate, on this basis, a radically non-culturalist framework for comparative philosophy. 相似文献

For much of his triple career as heroic cancer survivor, sports champion, and, latterly, fallen idol, Lance Armstrong, a professed atheist, has worn a silver necklace with a cross pendant. Why does he wear this Ur-symbol of Christian religious faith? Speculative answers range from ‘residual superstition’ to ‘fashion jewellery’ and ‘tactical deception’. Here, Armstrong’s own declared beliefs as refracted through his autobiographical accounts are analysed within a mono-mythic framework, with particular emphasis on ‘survivorship’, his implicit spirituality of suffering. The Armstrong case of a personalised construction of faith praxis sheds light on the eclectic ‘liquid’ religio-spiritual style of postmodernism. It helps portray the negotiation of the religious-in-the-secular, the sacred-in-the-profane (and vice versa), and illuminates the problematic nature of dualistic accounts of religion and spirituality in contemporary culture. Armstrong’s ‘recycling’ of traditional religious iconography out of context of origin demonstrates the persistence, durability, and elasticity of religio-spiritual symbolic culture. 相似文献

This article argues that we must abandon the still predominant view of modernity as based upon a separation between the secular
and the religious - a “separation” which is allegedly now brought into question again in “postsecularity”. It is more meaningful
to start from the premise that religion and politics have always co-existed in various fields of tension and will continue
to do so. The question then concerns the natures and modalities of this tension, and how one can articulate a publically grounded
reason with reference to it. It will first be argued that this question cannot be articulated, let alone fully answered, from
the position developed by John Rawls. A different approach will then be developed, building on the writings of Eric Voegelin.
This involves a much more serious engagement with the classical tradition in thought and philosophy than found in Rawls. It
also implies much more than a “pragmatic” recognition of religion as a possible source for overlapping consensus, since for
Voegelin a true, balanced rationality can only depart from an experientially grounded encounter with the transcendent. 相似文献

This article describes a personal journey to understand the psychological meaning in an archetypal near-death experience at the time of my birth and describes its effect on the mother–child relationship before and after my mother's death. Part of that process involved researching the subject of birth trauma and its effect on personality and ultimately on one's fate. It also outlines treatment implications for patients with birth trauma, from a Jungian perspective, based on my own experience of coming to terms with my own birth trauma and the death of my mother. 相似文献

The current study examined the differential effects of maternal and paternal parenting on prosocial and antisocial behavior during middle childhood, and the moderating role of child sex. Parents of 96 boys and 107 girls (mean age?=?92.42?months, SD?=?3.52) completed different questionnaires to assess parenting and child behavior. All participants were Caucasian from south of Spain. Multiple hierarchical regressions (enter method) were performed to determine significant predictors of prosocial and antisocial behavior. The results showed that maternal and paternal hostility predicted an increase of externalizing problems in boys and girls (p?<?.001 in both sex groups). As well, Warmth/Induction of both parents predicted an increase in adaptive skills in boys and girls (p?<?.001 in both sex groups). On the other hand, differential effects of fathers’ and mothers’ parenting were found: both for boys and girls, maternal inconsistency positively predicted externalizing problems and negatively adaptive skills (p?<?.001 in both sex groups) and paternal overprotection positively predicted externalizing problems and negatively adaptive skills (p?<?.05 in both sex groups). Finally, maternal coercion negatively predicted adaptive skills in boys and girls (p?<?.05 in both sex groups); however, it increased externalizing problems only in girls (p?<?.05), whereas maternal permissiveness only increased these problems in boys (p?<?.01 in both cases). The discussion highlighted the importance of considering both parents’ and children’s sex to further knowledge of parenting styles affecting children’s behaviors. 相似文献

Judaism and the Contingency of Religious Law in Kant’s Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason
James Haring 《The Journal of religious ethics》2020,48(1):74-100
For Kant’s moral universalism, contingent religious law is legitimate only when it serves as a means of fulfilling the moral law. Though Kant uses traditional theological resources to account for the possibility of “statutory ecclesiastical law” in historical religions, he denies this possibility to Jewish law. Something like Kant’s logic appears in the work of some of his intellectual successors who continue to define Christianity in terms of its moral superiority to Judaism while attempting to excise remaining “Jewish” elements from it. A more adequate account of the Hebrew Bible, Judaism, and the origins of Christianity exposes deficiencies in Kant’s universalizing logic which seems to deny any intrinsic value to historical religions. A possible alternative may lie in a modified account of the relationship between the moral law and religious law, perhaps nourished by Jewish thought, including the rabbinic tradition of the Noachide commandments. 相似文献

Religion has been found to moderate the stress–strain relationship. This moderator role, however, may be dependent on age.
The present study tested for the three-way interaction between work experience, age, and religiosity in the prediction of
women’s well-being, and predicted that work experience and religiosity will combine additively in older women, while in younger
women religiosity is predicted to moderate the relationship between work experience and well-being. In a sample of 389 married
Malay Muslim women, results of the regression analyses showed significant three-way interactions between work experience,
age, and religiosity in the prediction of well-being (measured by distress symptoms and life satisfaction). While in younger
women the results were in line with the predictions made, in the older women, both additive and moderator effects of religiosity
were observed, depending on the well-being measures used. These results are discussed in relation to the literature on work
and family, with specific reference to women’s age, religion, as well as the issue of stress–strain specificity. 相似文献
