Zwei theologische Wissenschaften im Gespräch. Caritastheologie und Sozialethik befassen sich beide mit sozialen Fragen, haben in der gemeinsamen Marschrichtung aber unterschiedliche Wege, um dasselbe Ziel zu erreichen: Das Wohlergehen des Menschen zu steigern. Ziel des Bandes ist es, die beiden theologischen Disziplinen Caritastheologie und Sozialethik auch auf internationaler Ebene miteinander ins Gespräch zu bringen. Dieses Gespräch ist sehr fruchtbar und behandelt die gemeinsamen biblischen Wurzeln ebenso wie aktuelle Herausforderungen beider Fächer. Dabei werden neben grundsätzlichen Fragen wie etwa nach dem Verhältnis von Liebe und Gerechtigkeit auch konkrete Fragen, z. B. der Verknüpfung von Gemeindepastoral und Caritas erörtert. Auch der mögliche Beitrag der Caritas zur Neuevangelisierung wird diskutiert. Insgesamt wird deutlich, dass sowohl Caritastheologie wie auch Sozialethik das Wohlergehen des Menschen im Blick haben, bei der Verwirklichung jedoch vor unterschiedliche Aufgaben gestellt sind.

Building on concepts developed in his previously published New Theory of Beauty, Guy Sircello constructs a bold and provocative theory of love in which the objects of love are the qualities that "bear" beauty and the pleasure of all love is "erotic," without being "sexual." The theory reveals a continuity of subject matter between premodern notions of love and modern notions of aesthetic pleasure, thus providing grounds for criticizing modern tendencies to isolate the aesthetic both culturally and psychologically and to separate it from its home in the human body.The author begins with an analysis of enjoyment that reduces all enjoyment to the enjoyment of the "experience of qualities." He explains how we experience qualities as "circulating" in a special form of "space" that includes our own bodies, the external world, and their interpenetration. Sircello generalizes this analysis to encompass all forms of love and grounds the pleasure of all love--aesthetic or nonaesthetic, personal or nonpersonal, sexual or nonsexual--in an experience of the form of an "overall bodily caress."Originally published in 1989.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.

David Pol presents an ontology of war in the form of the lyric poem. “Do you hear what I’m shooting at you?” In I Open Fire, all relation is warfare. Minefields compromise movement. Intention aims. Touch burns. Sex explodes bodies. Time ticks in bomb countdowns. Sound is sirens. Plenitude is debris. All of it under surveillance. “My world is critically injured. It was ambushed.” The poems in this book perform the reductions and repetitions endemic to war itself, each one returning the reader to the same, unthinkable place in which the range of human experience has been so flattened that, despite all the explosive action, “Almost nothing is happening.” Against this backdrop, we continue to fall in love. But Pol’s poems remind us that this is no reason for optimism. Does love offer a delusional escape from war, or are relationships the very definition of combat? These poems take up the themes of love, sex, marriage, touch, hope — in short, the many dimensions of interpersonal connection — in a world in unprecedentedly critical condition. “And when the night goes off the shock wave throws us apart toward each other.

La philosophie peut-elle saisir ce qu'il y a de charnel, de déraisonnable et d'ineffable dans chaque histoire d'amour ? Pour Ruwen Ogien, la réponse ne fait aucun doute : le philosophe ne doit pas renoncer à ses ambitions intellectuelles devant l'émotion, le sentiment, la passion. Son projet ? Écrire un De l'amour rigoureux – quoique facétieux. L'« ami de la sagesse », irrespectueux, traite de cet obscur objet comme s'il s'agissait de n'importe quelle autre chose de la vie et s'interroge : l'amour est-il plus important que tout ? Peut-on aimer sans raison ? Ou sur commande ? L'amour se situe-t-il par-delà le bien et le mal ? Et, s'il ne dure pas, est-ce quand même un amour véritable ? Pas à pas, l'auteur déconstruit subtilement les présupposés de l'amour romantique.
