Jonathan Z. Smith on Religion

Jonathan Z. Smith on Religion

Jonathan Z. Smith (1938–2017) was unquestionably one of the most important and influential voices of critical reflection within the academic study of religion in the last century. His work explored the nature and history of religious phenomena across cultures—from ancient Jewish practices to Maori cults from early Christianity to mass suicide in the twentieth century—while critiquing the assumptions underlying the very category of religion. This important volume offers the first full critical assessment of the influence of Jonathan Z. Smith’s thought on the subject of religion. Christopher I. Lehrich systematically examines and develops a critical overview that will assist others in engaging more fully with Smith’s scholarship. This book is an essential reading for students and scholars interested in the work of Jonathan Z. Smith as well as the history of religion more broadly. | Jonathan Z. Smith on Religion

Renaissance Man

Renaissance Man

Considering such witnesses of the time as Shakespeare Dante Petrarch Michelangelo Machiavelli Montaigne More and Bacon Agnes Heller looks at both the concept and the image of a Renaissance man. The concept was generalised and accepted by all; its characteristic features were man as a dynamic being creating and re-creating himself throughout his life. The images of man however were very different having been formed through the ideas and imagination of artists politicians philosophers scientists and theologians and viewed from the different aspects of work love fate death friendship devotion and the concepts of space and time. Renaissance Man thus stood as both as a leading protagonist of his time one who led and formulated the substantial attitudes of his time and as one who stood as a witness on the sidelines of the discussion. This book first published in English in 1978 is based on the diverse but equally important sources of autobiographies works of art and literature and the writings of philosophers. Although she uses Florence as a starting point Agnes Heller points out that the Renaissance was a social and cultural phenomenon common to all of Western Europe; her Renaissance Man is thus a figure to be found throughout Europe.

American Theology Superhero Comics and Cinema The Marvel of Stan Lee and the Revolution of a Genre

American Theology Superhero Comics and Cinema The Marvel of Stan Lee and the Revolution of a Genre

Stan Lee who was the head writer of Marvel Comics in the early 1960s co-created such popular heroes as Spider-Man Hulk the X-Men the Fantastic Four Iron Man Thor and Daredevil. This book traces the ways in which American theologians and comic books of the era were not only both saying things about what it means to be human but starting with Lee they were largely saying the same things. Author Anthony R. Mills argues that the shift away from individualistic ideas of human personhood and toward relational conceptions occurring within both American theology and American superhero comics and films does not occur simply on the ontological level but is also inherent to epistemology and ethics reflecting the comprehensive nature of human life in terms of being knowing and acting. This book explores the idea of the American monomyth that pervades American hero stories and examines its philosophical and theological origins and specific manifestations in early American superhero comics. Surveying the anthropologies of six American theologians who argue against many of the monomyth’s assumptions principally the staunch individualism taken to be the model of humanity and who offer relationality as a more realistic and ethical alternative this book offers a detailed argument for the intimate historical relationship between the now disparate fields of comic book/superhero film creation on the one hand and Christian theology on the other in the United States. An understanding of the early connections between theology and American conceptions of heroism helps to further make sense of their contemporary parallels wherein superhero stories and theology are not strictly separate phenomena but have shared origins and concerns. | American Theology Superhero Comics and Cinema The Marvel of Stan Lee and the Revolution of a Genre

The Transformations of Man

The Transformations of Man

Originally published in 1957 this volume compares the 20th Century transformation of human life to the revolution which swept early man into the first civilized communities. It shows how each radical new stage of human development grew out of changes in human personality and consciousness such as the invention of language and symbols the origins of universal religions and the mechanization of everyday life. Despite the threat that the author foresees from an over-reliance on automation the book maintains that humanity still has the means spiritual personal and technological to create a sustainable future for itself by increasing the usefulness and freedom of all men. | The Transformations of Man

Mirror for Man The Relation of Anthropology to Modern Life

Mirror for Man The Relation of Anthropology to Modern Life

While the world has undoubtedly been shrinking at the same time it has grown more complex. The likelihood of culture clashes leading to outright conflict is high perhaps higher than ever. As Andrea L. Smith convincingly argues in her new introduction to this classic work certain questions are as valid today as in 1949 when Mirror for Man was first published. Can anthropology break down prejudices that exist between peoples and nations? Can knowledge of past human behavior help solve the world’s modern problems? What effect will American attitudes likely have on the future of the world? In Mirror for Man Clyde Kluckhohn scrutinizes anthropology showing how the discipline can contribute to the reconciliation of conflicting cultures. He questions age-old race theories shows how people came to be as they are and examines limitations in how human beings can be molded. Taking up one of the most vital questions in the post-World War II world whether international order can be achieved by domination Kluckhohn demonstrates that cultural clashes drive much of the world’s conflict and shows how we can help resolve it if only we are willing to work for joint understanding. By interpreting human behavior Kluckhohn reveals that anthropology can make a practical contribution through its predictive power in the realm of politics social attitudes and group psychology. Andrea L. Smith’s new introduction provides convincing evidence for the continuing importance of one of the earliest “public intellectuals. ” | Mirror for Man The Relation of Anthropology to Modern Life

God and Man In the Old Testament

God and Man In the Old Testament

Originally published in 1955 and containing some 500 passages this Biblical anthology brings together in their original wording the highest expressions of the Biblical view of life. The anthology is non-historical and non-doctrinal. It starts with the confrontations of man with God as seen in the ‘calls’ of the prophets and proceeds to the ways of life demanded of man and the duties accompanying the privilege of vocation. It ends with the visions of the ideal society which in times of trial the author believes have sustained the mind. When this was first published the anthology used often forgotten texts and in so doing stimulated much attention to these enduring religious documents. | God and Man In the Old Testament

Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

As it entered the 1960s American institutional psychiatry was thriving with a high percentage of medical students choosing the field. But after Thomas S. Szasz published his masterwork in 1961 The Myth of Mental Illness the psychiatric world was thrown into chaos. Szasz enlightened the world about what he called the “myth of mental illness. ” His point was not that no one is mentally ill or that people labeled as mentally ill do not exist. Instead he believed that diagnosing people as mentally ill was inconsistent with the rules governing pathology and the classification of disease. He asserted that the diagnosis of mental illness is a type of social control not medical science. The editors were uniquely close to Szasz and here they gather for the first time a group of their peers—experts on psychiatry psychology rhetoric and semiotics—to elucidate Szasz’s body of work. Thomas S. Szasz: The Man and His Ideas examines his work and legacy including new material on the man himself and the seeds he planted. They discuss Szasz’s impact on their thinking about the distinction between physical and mental illness addiction the insanity plea schizophrenia and implications for individual freedom and responsibility. This important volume offers insight into and understanding of a man whose ideas were far beyond his time. | Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

In The End of Economic Man long recognized as a cornerstone work Peter F. Drucker explains and interprets fascism and Nazism as fundamental revolutions. In some ways this book anticipated by more than a decade the existentialism that came to dominate the European political mood in the postwar period. Drucker provides a special addition to the massive literature on existentialism and alienation since World War II. The End of Economic Man is a social and political effort to explain the subjective consequences of the social upheavals caused by warfare. Drucker concentrates on one specific historical event: the breakdown of the social and political structure of Europe which culminated in the rise of Nazi totalitarianism to mastery over Europe. He explains the tragedy of Europe as the loss of political faith resulting from the political alienation of the European masses. The End of Economic Man is a book of great social import. It shows not only what might have helped the older generation avert the catastrophe of Nazism but also how today's generation can prevent another such catastrophe. This work will be of special interest to political scientists intellectual historians and sociologists. The book was singled out for praise on both sides of the Atlantic and is considered by the author to be his most prescient effort in social theory. | The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

Socialtechnological Man/h

Socialtechnological Man/h

Recent international attention has focused on desertification and its concomitants especially the diminution of flora and fauna in arid and semiarid lands and the resulting reduction in the economic value of those lands. Natural factors such as drought and wind erosion as well as various technological practices have been blamed for the present situation in many countries. Most observers agree that human beings have been both perpetrators and victims of desertification. Anthropologists have long been interested in documenting hew different societies have affected and been affected by their environments. The papers in this volume present ease studies of societies ranging from ancient Peru to contemporary Israel along with several topically oriented works. All are designed to illustrate how various societies-whether by water management or by the exploitation of plants and animals-have attempted to achieve ecological balance. Social organization and ideology as well as technology are discussed as important variables affecting the ways in which populations adapt to or cope with desertification. | Socialtechnological Man/h
