Abstract

Hobbes's extreme political views have commanded so much attention that they have eclipsed his work on language and mind, and on reasoning, personhood, and group formation. But this work is of immense interest in itself, as Philip Pettit shows in Made with Words, and it critically shapes Hobbes's political philosophy. Pettit argues that it was Hobbes, not later thinkers like Rousseau, who invented the invention of language thesis--the idea that language is a cultural innovation that transformed the human mind. The invention, in Hobbes's story, is a double-edged sword. It enables human beings to reason, commit themselves as persons, and incorporate in groups. But it also allows them to agonize about the future and about their standing relative to one another; it takes them out of the Eden of animal silence and into a life of inescapable conflict--the state of nature. Still, if language leads into this wasteland, according to Hobbes, it can also lead out. It can enable people to establish a commonwealth where the words of law and morality have a common, enforceable sense, and where people can invoke the sanctions of an absolute sovereign to give their words to one another in credible commitment and contract. Written by one of today's leading philosophers, Made with Words is both an original reinterpretation and a clear and lively introduction to Hobbes's thought.

Abstract

Thomas Mann ist ein Avantgardist der Klassischen Moderne. Darin ist er Kafka oder Joyce vergleichbar. Forschung und Kritik haben das lange übersehen. Denn anders als viele Vertreter der avancierten Moderne vermittelt der Erzähler Thomas Mann seinen Lesern nie den Eindruck, er wolle sie aus seinen Texten aussperren. Nie sind seine Texte dunkel oder abstrakt. Immer bieten sie Vertrautes aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Doch das ist nur die Oberfläche. Der vorliegende Band wirft Licht auf das, was lange darunter verborgen lag. An Kafka geschulte Lektüren führen Thomas Manns Signifikanten-Spiele und seine Lust an der Selbstreferenz vor Augen. Kulturwissenschaftliche Analysen beleuchten Thomas Manns Poetik des Geldes, seine Inszenierungen von Geschlecht und Gesetz sowie seine Darstellung des Jüdischen. Literaturtheoretisch und komparatistisch geht es um Fragen von Avantgarde und Kreativität, Moderne und Postmoderne, von Memoria, literarischem Wert und Ruhm.

Abstract

Much contemporary debate surrounds the traditional teaching that God is unchanging. It is frequently argued that an immutable God must be cold, remote, indifferent, and uncaring--that an unchanging God cannot be the triune God of love revealed in Scripture. Those who reject divine immutability often single out Thomas Aquinas as its most prominent proponent. Unfortunately, such critics of his theology frequently misunderstand the fundamentals of Aquinas's actual teaching. The Unchanging God of Love provides a clear and comprehensive account of what Aquinas really says about divine immutability, presented in a way that allows his theology to address contemporary criticisms. The book first reviews the various ways Aquinas applies the notion of immutability to creatures, showing that he is well aware of both the positive and negative implications of the concept. It then analyzes all of his arguments for divine immutability that are presented in his writings, noting his care in determining which aspects of immutability are to be affirmed and which are to be denied of God. It also demonstrates the distinctiveness of Aquinas's teaching by examining the biblical, patristic, and philosophical sources he employs. Aquinas's unchanging God proves to be no static deity, but the dynamic, trinitarian plenitude of knowledge, love, and life, to whom not only immutability but also motion may in some way be attributed. A study of "the motion of the motionless God" reveals how the concepts of both motion and immutability function in Aquinas's understanding of the Trinity, the Incarnation, Creation, and Providence. Through this study, it becomes clear that the unchanging God of Aquinas, far from being indifferent or remote, is truly the God of compassion and love revealed in Scripture, who shares a most intimate friendship with the people he has created and redeemed.
