The Athenaeum
Author: Hegel's Interpretation of the Religions of the World
Author: Jon StewartPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192564935
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
In his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion, Hegel treats the religions of the world under the rubric "the determinate religion." This is a part of his corpus that has traditionally been neglected since scholars have struggled to understand what philosophical work it is supposed to do. In Hegel's Interpretation of the Religions of the World, Jon Stewart argues that Hegel's rich analyses of Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Egyptian and Greek polytheism, and the Roman religion are not simply irrelevant historical material, as is often thought. Instead, they play a central role in Hegel's argument for what he regards as the truth of Christianity. Hegel believes that the different conceptions of the gods in the world religions are reflections of individual peoples at specific periods in history. These conceptions might at first glance appear random and chaotic, but there is, Hegel claims, a discernible logic in them. Simultaneously, a theory of mythology, history, and philosophical anthropology, Hegel's account of the world religions goes far beyond the field of philosophy of religion. The controversial issues surrounding his treatment of the non-European religions are still very much with us today and make his account of religion an issue of continued topicality in the academic landscape of the twenty-first century.

An Attempt to Establish, Vol. 1 of 2

Pages : 502
Book Description
Excerpt from An Attempt to Establish, Vol. 1 of 2: The First Principles of Chemistry I have been in the habit, ever since the atomic numbers given in the present work were determined, to calculate the experiments of other chemists by substituting for the data which they employed, the more correct data which I myself possessed, and I have frequently found that the experiments, when so calculated, came much nearer the truth than the experimenters themselves were aware of. This was remarkably the case with respect to Mr. Fara day's experiments to determine the constituents of the chlorides of carbon, for a knowledge Of which we are indebted to that very ingenious and accurate chemist. The imperfect data which he employed has given his experiments the appearance of greater inaccuracy than the truth: for when the specific gravities and atomic numbers given in the following pages are substituted for those which he used, his experiments almost coincide.

Regional Human Rights Systems
Author: Christina M. CernaPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351905538
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 617
Book Description
Over the past sixty years the regional human rights systems have surpassed the UN human rights bodies in affording protection to the victims of human rights violations. Most of these systems have courts that are empowered to issue legally binding judgments and reparations for violations of human rights, which states have been unwilling to accord the UN system. The essays selected for this volume examine the structure and functioning of the principal regional human rights systems in the world today: 1) the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights, 2) the European Court of Human Rights, 3) the African Commission and Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights and 4) the ASEAN Intergovernmental Human Rights Commission. These systems guarantee primarily civil and political rights. Central to all four systems is the necessity of a democratic form of government to guarantee these rights, although not all governments, parties to these regional treaties, are democracies. These articles trace the history of these systems, in particular, the expansion of their membership to include almost all independent countries in the region, and their evolution towards recognition of a 'right to democracy'.
