Class at Faculty of Education |
OPNX1O113A

Annotation

1. Enlightenment interpretation of religion, which lives in our understanding – obviousness of subject and objectivity assumption; home as a centre of world of prescientific community (“we“) – formal structure of their lived world; their irreligiousness, “we“ and “their“, “our” and “foreign“

2. Jews – reading and interpretation of selected texts from the Torah;

3. Religion as reverse self-interpretation of societies, which incorporate theoretical approach and idealisation – “scientific religions“, i.e. religions requiring theology as a science about themselves; connection to the transformation of world to universum – European imperialism – faith-hope-love; will and ordo occluding Platonism of Augustus Aurelius – discovery of subjectivation: “inner human” – temporality; being = creatio;

4. Christianity – reading and interpretation of texts from New Testament – relation to time; Catholicism and Orthodoxy – difference in their trinitology; new relation between knowledge and judgement (faith) – temporality – eternity – dogmatism of General Councils and background knowledge about the difference between lived proclamation and their scientification;

5. Islam – reading and interpretation of selected texts from the Koran – relation to time;

6. Fall of Aristotelian - Ptolemaic interpretation of “world“; first and second reformation, Descartes’ metaphysics as continuation of Christian metaphysics – Modern Age science of theological causes

7. Feuerbach – demythologization of religions of his deductions from anthropology

8. Kierkegaard – Christianity and his contravention of philosophy

9. Marx – criticism of subjectivity and imagination; relationship of sociability and religion; alienation externalization, fetishism;

8. Nietzsche – Christian overturn of Christianity – will-eternity, phenomenon-essence, nihilism;

9. Second nature as a cave of higher order – myth, shift, symbol – science as a producer of higher order myths; economy as a theology of market; superficiality of opinion that the human of our „now“ is not religious, problematics of symbol and picture – media and myth; transformation of the world to planet – de-secularization, de-conviction (techne), de-distancing; paradoxes arising by the move of colonization and planetarization – conflict of the universum and subjective-relative worlds as a base of misunderstanding to Non-Europeans – misunderstanding of our European “self” in the basis of misunderstanding the foreign.
