Abstract

„Buße" war in der Alten Kirche ein maßgebliches Element der Glaubenspraxis und für die Spätantike und das Frühmittelalter waren die Bußbücher zentrale Schriften. Gleichzeitig war die Buße aber auch Gegenstand zahlloser kontrovers diskutierter Fragen: Sollte nach der Reinigung durch die Taufe eine (zweite) Buße erlaubt werden und wenn ja, wie oft? Wie genau sollte für welche Sünden gebüßt werden? Sollte die innere Gesinnung der äußeren Bußhaltung entsprechen und umgekehrt? Was genau kann man sich darunter vorstellen? Geht es nur um einen Gesinnungswandel, oder soll man auch im Lebenswandel „umkehren"? Welche philosophischen und anthropologischen Vorstellungen werden mit der Buße verknüpft? Die Buße wurde in den letzten Jahren von unterschiedlichen historisch arbeitenden Disziplinen als Quelle entdeckt, zum Beispiel für die Sozialgeschichte und für die Ethikforschung. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es höchste Zeit für eine Bestandsaufnahme, der sich die Beiträge dieses Bandes widmet, die aus der Tagung der Patristischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft 2022 hervorgegangen sind

Abstract

This text asks a deceptively simple question: what are states actually doing when they do penance for past injustices? Why are these penitential gestures - especially the gesture of apology - becoming so ubiquitous and what implications do they carry for the way power is exercised?

Abstract

How Donald Trump laid waste to American politics, culture, and social orderAfter Donald Trump’s rise to power, after the 2020 presidential election, after January 6, is American politics past the point of no return? New York Times columnist and political reporter Thomas Byrne Edsall fears that the country may be headed over a cliff, arguing that the election of Donald Trump was the most serious threat to the American political system since the Civil War. In this compelling and illuminating book, Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation’s politics, culture, and social order. He explains the demographic shifts that helped make Trump’s election possible, and describes the racial and ethnic conflict, culture wars, rural/urban divide, diverging economies of red and blue states, and the transformation of both the Republican and Democratic parties that have left our politics in a state of permanent hostility.The Point of No Return brings together a series of Edsall’s columns, bookended by a new introduction and conclusion, which show how we got to this dangerous point. These dispatches from our new political landscape chronicle the emergence of what Edsall calls “the not-so-silent white majority” and show how Trump deployed fears about race and immigration to appeal to voters. Edsall examines Trump’s construction of an alternate reality, discusses why we don’t always vote according to our own self-interest, and explores the Democrats’ calibrated response. Considering the 2020 election and its violent aftermath, Edsall looks at the Capitol insurrection and warns that American democracy is under siege. The forces behind Trump’s election, and the “stop the steal” true believers, have pushed the nation to the brink.
