L’animisme, pour le définir en quelques mots, est une forme de culture et de religion à laquelle est associée une conception du monde et de l’homme toute particulière. Dans ce livre, Lothar Käser nous présente un modèle conceptuel qui peut servir de base pour comprendre les mille et une formes qu’il revêt à travers la planète. Car aujourd’hui encore nous trouvons des formes d’animisme dans beaucoup de sociétés traditionnelles sans écriture en Afrique, en Asie et dans les Amériques. Mais des traces non négligeables d’animisme se retrouvent aussi dans les cultures et religions avec écriture (judaïsme, christianisme, islam, hindouisme, bouddhisme), surtout dans leurs formes populaires. De plus, l’animisme resurgit aujourd’hui de façon inattendue dans les sociétés occidentales.Les personnes d’arrière-plan chrétien identifient souvent l’animisme avec l’occultisme et le spiritisme, voire le satanisme. Ce point de vue et le manque de connaissance des fondements conceptuels de l’animisme peuvent devenir un handicap sérieux pour ceux qui s’engagent comme envoyés d’ONG ou d’Églises dans des cultures marquées par l’animisme. Cet ouvrage fournira à toute personne désirant vivre et être efficace dans une telle culture les outils nécessaires à une bonne compréhension de ce qu’est l’animisme, véritable système d’orientation servant à maîtriser l’existence jusque dans le quotidien.

Christian theology traditionally regards the sacramental as the polar opposite of the profane. The polarity is a memorial of contemporary desacralization, profanization, and sacralization that stands as a portal to the story of modern reality. In our liminal space, we neither de-sacralize our environs nor re-sacralize the world. The lines are blurred and our perception of spirituality is neither immanent nor transcendent. While words fail to articulate the condition, stories are told and tales of experiences come together to form new theoretical nets, systems and categories.The conference volume, "Sacrality and Materiality: Locating Intersections" seeks to reply to the questions: Where does the sacred intersect with the material? What happens when they meet? First, however, does the sacral even exist? Would it be more productive to ignite sacramental discourse at the intersections of a new matrix? Historically, materiality is other than spirituality- an intersection of the two is an intangible event of the intellect and spirit. We must engage a bipolar setting in the context of its own history in order to speak about the unspeakable. Despite that spirituality and materiality refuse to assume the categories assigned to the initial polarities of sacrality and profanity, the volume addresses the constrictions. Sacral materialism and sacral spiritualism both exist in their own right, and Christian theology has more to offer than polarities. The sacral is the meeting point for the fission of thought.Is the sacramental a topos for telling a postmodern story of spiritual experience? Is Evangelical sacramental theology relevant? Does theological talk about holy materiality belong in denominational and inter-religious dialogue? "Sacrality and Materiality: Locating Intersections" inaugurates a dialogue about these issues.

In Without the Least Tremor, M. Ross Romero considers the death of Socrates as a sacrificial act rather than an execution, and analyzes the implications of such an understanding for the meaning of the Phaedo. Plato's recounting of Socrates's death fits many of the conventions of ancient Greek sacrificial ritual. Among these are the bath, the procession, Socrates's appearance as a bull, the libation, the offering of a rooster to Asclepius, the treatment of Socrates's body and corpse, and Phaedo's memorialization of Socrates. Yet in a powerful moment, Socrates's death deviates from a sacrifice as he drinks the pharmakon "without the least tremor." Developing the themes of suffering and wisdom as they connect to this scene, Romero demonstrates how the embodied Socrates is setting forth an eikôn of the death of the philosopher. Drawing on comparisons with tragedy and comedy, he argues that Socrates's death is more fittingly described as self-sacrifice than merely an execution or suicide. After considering the implications of these themes for the soul's immortality and its relationship to the body, the book concludes with an exploration of the place of sacrifice within ethical life.

Robert Schofield explores the rational elements of British experimental natural philosophy in the 18th century by tracing the influence of two opposing concepts of the nature of matter and its action-mechanism and materialism. Both concepts rested on the Newtonian interpretation of their proponents, although each developed more or less independently. By integrating the developments in all the areas of experimental natural philosophy, describing their connections and the influences of Continental science, natural theology, and to a lesser degree social and institutional changes, the author demonstrates that mechanistic concepts dominated interpretations from about 1687 to 1740, when they were replaced by materialistic concepts. A revival of the mechanistic approach early in the next century made England a fertile field for ideas on the dynamic interaction of forces.Originally published in 1970.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
