Post-Hellenistic Philosophy: A Study of its Development from the Stoics to Origen 

by George Boys-Stones author

Oxford University Press

This book traces, for the first time, a revolution in philosophy which took place during the early centuries of our era. It reconstructs the philosophical basis of the Stoics' theory that fragments of an ancient and divine wisdom could be reconstructed from mythological traditions, and shows that Platonism was founded on an argument that Plato had himself achieved a full reconstruction of this wisdom, and that subsequent philosophies had only regressed once again in their attempts to 'improve' on his achievement. The significance of this development is highlighted through parallel studies of the Hellenistic debate over the status of Jewish culture; and of the philosophical beginnings of Christianity, where the notions of 'orthodoxy' and 'heresy' in particular are shown to be tools in the construction of a unified history of Christian philosophy stretching back to primitive antiquity.

The Routledge Handbook of Hellenistic Philosophy

by Kelly Arenson author

Routledge 

Hellenistic philosophy concerns the thought of the Epicureans, Stoics, and Skeptics, the most influential philosophical groups in the era between the death of Alexander the Great (323 BCE) and the defeat of the last Greek stronghold in the ancient world (31 BCE).

The Routledge Handbook of Hellenistic Philosophy, provides accessible yet rigorous introductions to the theories of knowledge, ethics, and physics belonging to each of the three schools, explores the fascinating ways in which interschool rivalries shaped the philosophies of the era, and offers unique insight into the relevance of Hellenistic views to issues today, such as environmental ethics, consumerism, and bioethics. Eleven countries are represented among the Handbook's;35 authors, whose chapters were written specifically for this volume and are organized thematically into six sections:

The people, history, and methods of Epicureanism, Stoicism, and Skepticism.

Earlier philosophical influences on Hellenistic thought, such as Aristotle, Socrates, and Presocratics.

The soul, perception, and knowledge.

God, fate, and the primary principles of nature and the universe.

Ethics, political theory, society, and community.

Hellenistic philosophy’s relevance to contemporary life.

Spanning from the ancient past to the present, this Handbook aims to show that Hellenistic philosophy has much to offer all thinking people of the twenty-first century.

Migration von ostkatholischen Gläubigen

Kirchenrechtliche Grundlagen für die Seelsorge in Deutschland

Burkhard Berkmann, Josa Merkel, Tobias Stümpfl (Autoren)

Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag

In Deutschland leben ca. 200.000 Ostkatholiken, deren Zahl durch Migration beständig steigt. Sie gehören einer der katholischen Ostkirchen an, die sich durch eigene, orientalische Riten auszeichnen und zusammen mit der lateinischen Westkirche die katholische Gesamtkirche bilden. In Deutschland wurden die meisten Ostkatholiken den lateinischen Diözesanbischöfen anvertraut. Sie stehen in der Spannung zwischen der Wahrung des eigenen Ritus und der Teilnahme am Leben der lateinischen Kirche, die sich dadurch vor neue Herausforderungen gestellt sieht.

Wissenschaftlich fundiert und pastoral orientiert deckt dieses Buch den wachsenden Informationsbedarf in der kirchlichen Seelsorge und Verwaltung. Hauptthema sind neben Grundrechten, Kirchenzugehörigkeit und Zuständigkeiten die Regelungen der Sakramente. Die Autoren erläutern den kirchenrechtlichen Status der Ostkatholiken speziell in der deutschen Situation. Sie führen in die Besonderheiten der orientalischen Riten ein, zeigen Lösungen für konkrete Probleme auf und geben Hinweise für die Praxis.
