Schlüsselwerke der Religionssoziologie (Veröffentlichungen der Sektion Religionssoziologie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie)
by Gert Pickel Christel GärtnerReligion hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten verstärkt die Aufmerksamkeit der politischen und medialen Öffentlichkeit auf sich gezogen und ist zu einem oft durchaus kontrovers diskutierten Thema geworden. Gleichzeitig ist Religion auch (wieder) vermehrt in den Fokus wissenschaftlicher Erforschung gerückt, was sich nicht zuletzt an der Zunahme der religionssoziologischen Forschungen und Publikationen seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre ablesen lässt. Die in jüngerer Zeit beobachtbare Renaissance der Religion in der Soziologie wirkt sich auch auf die Zahl der Studierenden und Promovierenden aus, die Interesse an religionssoziologischen Themen und Fragestellungen entwickeln. Außerdem schlägt sie sich in religionsbezogenen Studiengängen und Forschungsverbünden nieder. Dieser Band bietet eine Übersicht über die klassischen Texte der Religionssoziologie für Studienzwecke und schließt damit die durch das gestiegene Interesse an dem Forschungsfeld Religion entstandene Lücke.Der InhaltÜbersicht über die klassischen Texte und religionssoziologisch relevanten Werke des Fachs in über 70 Beiträgen Die ZielgruppenReligionswissenschaftlerSoziologenTheologenan Religionsforschung interessierte Studierende und Promovierende Die HerausgeberDr. Christel Gärtner ist Professorin und Mentorin im Exzellenzcluster „Religion und Politik“ an der WWU Münster.Dr. Gert Pickel ist Professor für Religions- und Kirchensoziologie am Institut für Praktische Theologie der Theologischen Fakultät der Universität Leipzig.
Schlüsselwerke der Wirtschaftssoziologie (Wirtschaft + Gesellschaft)
by Klaus Kraemer Florian BruggerDas Buch bietet einen fundierten Überblick über die zentralen Inspirationsquellen und Schlüsselwerke der Wirtschaftssoziologie und ordnet sie historisch wie systematisch ein.Die moderne Wirtschaft ist ohne soziologisches Wissen über ihre sozialen, kulturellen und politisch-institutionellen Grundlagen nicht angemessen zu verstehen. Von dieser Grundannahme ausgehend untersucht die Wirtschaftssoziologie Märkte und Unternehmen, Geld und Eigentum, Tauschformen und Wirtschaftsordnungen. Wie wirken Netzwerke und Kooperationen, Wertideen und Konventionen, Konflikte und Machtasymmetrien auf Märkten und in Unternehmen? Wie bilden sich Preise? Was sind ökonomische Werte? Welchen Einfluss haben kulturelle und staatliche Ordnungen auf Wirtschaftssysteme? Wie kann der Aufstieg und der Niedergang von Märkten soziologisch erklärt werden? Warum sind zahllose Tauschbeziehungen in modernen Gesellschaften marktförmig organisiert, während in anderen Bereichen Märkte abgelehnt werden oder sogar untersagt sind?

Schmerz und Resilienz: Interdisziplinäre Diskurse zwischen geistes- und naturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive (Studien zur Resilienzforschung)
by Stefan Lautenbacher Jonathan Weider Mia-Maria Fischer Thomas WabelIn den letzten Jahren werden zusätzlich zu Risikofaktoren bei physischen und psychischen Störungen sogenannte Resilienzfaktoren diskutiert. Im vorliegenden Buch fragen wir daher, was positive, also schützende und negative, also belastende Resilienzfaktoren beim Schmerz sein können. Die naturwissenschaftliche Sicht favorisiert bekannterweise biopsychosoziale Einflüsse, die geisteswissenschaftliche Sicht als geradezu notwendige, aber vernachlässigte Ergänzung fokussiert die Frage nach dem Sinn von Schmerz und Leiden. Die Interaktion dieser beiden Perspektiven wird im interdisziplinären Diskurs zwischen Experten und Nachwuchswissenschaftlern beleuchtet.
Schoenberg and Redemption
by Julie BrownSchoenberg and Redemption presents a new way of understanding Schoenberg's step into atonality in 1908. Reconsidering his threshold and early atonal works, as well as his theoretical writings and a range of previously unexplored archival documents, Julie Brown argues that Schoenberg's revolutionary step was in part a response to Wagner's negative charges concerning the Jewish influence on German music. In 1898 and especially 1908 Schoenberg's Jewish identity came into confrontation with his commitment to Wagnerian modernism to provide an impetus to his radical innovations. While acknowledging the broader turn-of-the-century Viennese context, Brown draws special attention to continuities between Schoenberg's work and that of Viennese moral philosopher Otto Weininger, himself an ideological Wagnerian. She also considers the afterlife of the composer's ideological position when, in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the concept of redeeming German culture of its Jewish elements took a very different turn.
Scholar Warrior
by Deng Ming-DaoThe way of the Scholar Warrior Is to unite wisdom with action. The hero makes the era. The era make the hero. In this beautifully illustrated offering of ancient wisdom, Deng Ming-Dao shares the secrets of the spiritual path handed down to him by Kwan Saihung, his Taoist master, as well as by herbalist, martial artists, and other practitioners of the ancient arts. Deng shows how Taoist philosophy and practice may be integrated into contemporary Western lifestyles for complete physical, mental, and spiritual health. He provides an abundance of philosophical and practical information about hygiene, diet, sexuality, physical exercise, mediation, medicine, finding one's purpose in life, finding the right teacher, death, and transcendence.
Scholarly Community at the Early University of Paris
by Spencer E. YoungThis book explores the ways in which theologians at the early University of Paris promoted the development of this new centre of education into a prominent institution within late medieval society. Drawing upon a range of evidence, including many theological texts available only in manuscripts, Spencer Young uncovers a vibrant intellectual community engaged in debates on such issues as the viability of Aristotle's natural philosophy for Christian theology, the implications of the popular framework of the seven deadly sins for spiritual and academic life, the social and religious obligations of educated masters, and poor relief. Integrating the intellectual and institutional histories of the Faculty of Theology, Young demonstrates the historical significance of these discussions for both the university and the thirteenth-century church. He also reveals the critical role played by many of the early university's lesser-known members in one of the most transformative periods in the history of higher education.
Scholastic Metaphysics in Late Ming China: Giulio Aleni's "The True Source of the Myriad Things" (Christianity in Modern China)
by Paul K. Hosle Biyun DaiThis book provides the first complete English translation of Giulio Aleni’s Wanwu Zhenyuan 萬物真原 (‘The True Source of the Myriad Things’). Aleni is one of the most important Jesuit missionaries to China, as is evidenced by the fact that he was reverentially called already during his lifetime ‘Confucius from the West’. Aleni’s work, first published in 1628, offers precious insight into the ways in which he tried to communicate Western philosophical notions to Confucian literati, arguing that only God can be the ultimate source of the world. In our introduction, we situate this work within Aleni’s life and analyze the argument of the text. We discuss the Scholastic framework that Aleni uses in his attempt to prove God’s existence, as well as his arguments against competing positions from native Chinese philosophical traditions, particularly Neo-Confucianism. We also emphasize the importance that Aleni gives to reason as the best possible means of intercultural communication. Moreover, we have provided numerous annotations to the translation that identify references, provide historical and philosophical contextualization, and otherwise aid in the appreciation and elucidation of the work. This book provides an essential step to render this significant text more accessible to a wider readership interested in Jesuit missionary history and indeed more broadly in cross-cultural dialogue, and it will also serve as a vital tool for future scholarly research on Aleni’s oeuvre.

Schooling Indifference: Reimagining RE in multi-cultural and gendered spaces (Gender, Theology and Spirituality)
by Alison Jasper John I'AnsonThis book is concerned with re-imagining Religious Education (RE) as this is practiced in schools, colleges and universities throughout the UK and in a wide variety of international educational contexts. On the basis of a critical analysis of current theory and practice in RE the authors argue that this educational framing is no longer plausible in the light of new theoretical developments within the academy. A new educational approach to RE is outlined that challenges students to think and practice differently. This includes a ‘becoming ethnographer’ approach that can acknowledge socio-material relations and engage the broader literacies necessary for such study. Part One examines how RE has been constructed as a discipline in historical and spatial terms that abstract its study from material concerns. Part Two offers some new starting points: Spinoza, Foucault and feminist theory that differently foreground context and relationality, and 'Islam' read as a discursive, located tradition rather than as 'world view'. Finally, Part Three proposes a new trajectory for research and practice in RE, with the aim of re-engaging schools, colleges and universities in a dialogue that promotes thinking and practice that – as educational - is continually in touch with the need to be critical, open-ended and ethically justifiable.
Schooling Islam: The Culture and Politics of Modern Muslim Education (Princeton Studies in Muslim Politics #37)
by Robert W. Hefner and Muhammad Qasim ZamanSince the Taliban seized Kabul in 1996, the public has grappled with the relationship between Islamic education and radical Islam. Media reports tend to paint madrasas--religious schools dedicated to Islamic learning--as medieval institutions opposed to all that is Western and as breeding grounds for terrorists. Others have claimed that without reforms, Islam and the West are doomed to a clash of civilizations. Robert Hefner and Muhammad Qasim Zaman bring together eleven internationally renowned scholars to examine the varieties of modern Muslim education and their implications for national and global politics. The contributors provide new insights into Muslim culture and politics in countries as different as Morocco, Egypt, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. They demonstrate that Islamic education is neither timelessly traditional nor medieval, but rather complex, evolving, and diverse in its institutions and practices. They reveal that a struggle for hearts and minds in Muslim lands started long before the Western media discovered madrasas, and that Islamic schools remain on its front line. Schooling Islam is the most comprehensive work available in any language on madrasas and Islamic education.
Schools in Crisis: They Need Your Help (Whether You Have Kids or Not)
by Nicole Baker Fulgham Barna GroupMillions of children are not fulfilling their God-given potential in many of our nation's classrooms. Their potential and purpose is being left on the floor of classrooms in many low-income communities. What may God have called them to do? How is a substandard education prohibiting them from accomplishing that purpose? In what ways are Christians and churches accountable for that? How are we our brother and sister's keeper with respect to a quality education? Join Nicole Baker Fulgham, formerly on the national staff of Teach for America and the founder of The Expectations Project, as she explores what our role is in solving the nation's crisis for public education. This Barna Frame explores a critical topic of our time - schools in crisis.
Schools of Qur'anic Exegesis: Genesis and Development (Culture and Civilization in the Middle East)
by Hussein Abdul-RaofQur’anic exegesis has become the battleground of political Islam and theological conflict among various Muslim schools of thought. Using comparative and contrastive methodology, examples from the Qur'an are investigated in the light of various theological views to delineate the birth, development and growth of Qur'anic exegesis. The political status quo, in the past and at present, has impinged upon Qur’anic exegesis more than on any other discipline in Islamic studies. This book illustrates the dichotomy between mainstream and non-mainstream Islam, showing how Qur’anic exegesis reflects the subtle dogmatic differences and political cleavages in Islamic thought. Chapters explore in depth the intrusive views of the compilers of early exegesis manuscripts, the scepticism among Western scholars about the authenticity of early Muslim works of exegesis and of prophetic tradition, and the role of exegesis as a tool to reaffirm the Qur’an as a canon. Written to appeal to those with comparative exegetical interests as well as those focused on Islamic studies in general, this book will be an important reference for research students, scholars, and students of Islamic Studies, Theology, Religious studies and Middle Eastern Studies.
Schopenhauer, Religion and Morality: The Humble Path to Ethics (Ashgate New Critical Thinking in Philosophy)
by Gerard MannionThis work challenges the textbook assessment of Schopenhauer as militant atheist and absolute pessimist. In examining Schopenhauer's grappling with religion, theology and Kant's moral philosophy, Mannion suggests we can actually discern a 'religious' humility in method in Schopenhauer's work, seen most clearly in his ethics of compassion and his doctrine of salvation. Given Schopenhauer’s opinion of religion as the ’metaphysics of the people’, his utilisation of and affinity with many religious ideas and doctrines, and the culmination of his philosophy in a doctrine of salvation that ends in the ’mystical’, Mannion suggests that Schopenhauer’s philosophy is an explanatory hypothesis which functionally resembles religious belief systems in many ways. Mannion further argues that Schopenhauer cannot claim to have gone any further than such religious systems in discerning the 'true' nature of ultimate reality, for he admits that they also end in the ’mystical’, beyond which we must remain silent. Indeed, Schopenhauer offers an interpretation, as opposed to outright rejection of religion and his system gains the coherence that it does through being parasitic upon religious thought itself. Given current debates between theologians and philosophers in relation to 'postmodernity' and 'postmodern thought', this book illustrates that Schopenhauer should be a key figure in such debates.
Schriften zur Wirtschafts- und Kultursoziologie: Herausgegeben und eingeleitet von Amalia Barboza und Klaus Lichtblau (Klassiker der Sozialwissenschaften)
by Karl MannheimKarl Mannheim gilt zu Recht als einer der bedeutendsten Wissenssoziologen und Theoretiker der gesellschaftlichen Planung des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine weit verbreitete Zurechung zur modernen Wissenssoziologie hat dazu geführt, dass einige seiner wichtigsten Arbeiten, die er im Zeitraum von 1921-1930 geschrieben hat, an den Rand gedrängt bzw. schlichtweg vergessen worden sind. Dazu zählt zum einen sein in der Tradition der geisteswissenschaftlichen Hermeneutik von Wilhelm Dilthey stehender Aufsatz über die „Beiträge zur Theorie der Weltanschauungsinterpretation“ von 1921-22 sowie sein bis heute weitgehend ignorierter Aufsatz „Über das Wesen und die Bedeutung des wirtschaftlichen Erfolgsstrebens“ von 1930. Dieser Band macht deutlich, dass das wissens- und wirtschaftssoziologische Werk von Karl Mannheim einen integralen Bestandteil der von ihm vertretenen Variante der modernen Kultursoziologie darstellt.

Schweitzer's Psychoanalysis of Jesus Christ: & Other Essays in Christian Psychotherapy
by John Warwick MontgomeryJohn Warwick Montgomery beautifully highlights how modern psychiatric treatment has lost its mind! Contemporary forms of psychotherapy are, soulless— psychological and spiritual problems require a transcendent solution, as Montgomery nicely documents. No citation of Freud, Jung, or Albert Schweitzer in his flawed diagnosis of Jesus will never be the same as quoting Holy Scripture. Dr. Montgomery' s latest book is a fresh movement of the Spirit of God to a lost and dying world without Christ. The answer: Put Christianity back into the discussion of what is genuine treatment, and Montgomery' s newest bookwonderfully points us in that direction.

Schützende Bewältigung: Eine Grounded Theory zu Diskriminierungserfahrungen von Fachkräften in der Sozialen Arbeit (Islam in der Gesellschaft)
by Araththy LogeswaranIn diesem Open-Access-Buch wird eine qualitative Studie zum Thema Diskriminierungserfahrungen von Fachkräften der Sozialen Arbeit vorgestellt. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, eine gegenstandsverankerte Theorie abzubilden, die hilft, den Umgang mit Diskriminierungserfahrung – insbesondere Rassismuserfahrungen – zu beschreiben: Wie verhalten sich Betroffene in diskriminierenden Situationen? Wie gehen sie mit ihren Erfahrungen außerhalb der diskriminierten Situation um? Einer der Schwerpunkte der Untersuchung ist das Zusammenspiel der Erfahrungen und des professionellen Arbeitskontextes. Das Theoriemodell der Schützenden Bewältigung ist ein Beitrag zur rassismuskritischen Sozialen Arbeit und lädt zu einem Perspektivenwechsel ein. Die theoretischen Überlegungen bieten gleichzeitig Anknüpfungspunkte für die Praxis.
