Abstract

"Signs of God reveals why discussion of the nature of miracles is of central rather than marginal importance where belief in God is concerned. Miracles cannot be shunted to one side as an embarrassing hangover from a 'pre-scientific age'. Miracles have played an important role in the history of all the major world religions, and many religious believers claim that they continue to do so. Yet they have also been criticized from a philosophical viewpoint as incompatible with a belief in laws of nature, and those who seek to have their religious beliefs properly attuned to the modern world often prefer to do without them. This accessible book examines the nature of miracles both in philosophical and historical terms, and concludes that, whether or not miracles happen, it is difficult to see how religious belief could survive without them."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Consolation Miracle is a book of visceral, image-driven poems that search for the miraculous in the seemingly ordinary. This collection fashions art out of artless objects as a consolation, or perhaps compensation, for their smallness. Yawns and pears, cockroaches and crows resonate against historically conflated backdrops, while our own hands seem suddenly strange as they hide themselves in our pockets, balance a burning cigarette between two fingers, or grip the gun that shot Lincoln. Other poems address the destruction of empire, the end of old Hollywood, and the hyperbo

Abstract

This book is a critical overview of the manner in which the concept of miracle is understood and discussed in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion. In its most basic sense, a miracle is an unusual, unexpected, observable event brought about by direct divine intervention. The focus of this study is on the key conceptual, epistemological, and theological issues that this definition of the miraculous continues to raise. As this topic is of existential as well as theoretical interest to many, there is no reason to believe the concept of miracle won't continue to be of ongoing interest to philosophers.

Abstract

Version remaniée d'une thèse, cette étude analyse le monde fictionnel de B. Vian, univers fantaisiste alliant imaginaire et inventivité. Dans son oeuvre s'entremêlent féerie et cruauté, légèreté et inquiétude, imaginaire et réalité. La fantaisie, polymorphe, s'y heurte à l'intériorité des personnages mais la distanciation comique et l'inventivité langagière permettent à l'écrivain de la retrouver. ©Electre 2020 Quoique l'oeuvre littéraire de Boris Vian interpelle par son originalité et la diversité des émotions qu'elle suscite, elle est restée longtemps méconnue. Vian, dont la majorité des textes ont été publiés à titre posthume, fut perçu comme un touche-à-tout avant d'être véritablement salué comme écrivain, pour finalement entrer dans la Bibliothèque de la Pléiade en 2010, cinquante et un ans après sa mort.Le monde fictionnel qu'il crée s'impose comme un univers fantaisiste où triomphent imaginaire et inventivité. Pourtant, s'entremêlent dans son oeuvre féerie et cruauté, légèreté et inquiétude, imaginaire et réalité. Tantôt féerique, invraisemblable, langagière, comique ou parodique, la fantaisie se heurte à l'intériorité des personnages et à la contamination des êtres et des choses. Elle cède le pas à la noirceur d'un monde étouffant où le fantasme se révèle dans toute sa puissance.Le retour à la fantaisie n'est alors possible que par des effets de distanciation comiques et une inventivité langagière qui contribue à laisser l'oeuvre ouverte à de multiples interprétations.
