This notwithstanding, and as history undeniably attests, it is a virtue perhaps more honoured in the breach than in the observance. Europe's often terrifying history as well as some of its pride or at least the intention to earn the right to be proud were both very evident at the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of one of the most abhorrent of those breaches of tolerance, the Reichsprogromnacht (Kristallnacht) of 1938. This event was all the more abhorrent because it paved the way for what was to become the absolute lowest point in European history and culture. During his commemoration speech, the president of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Pottering, declared that in the last fifty years, Europeans have learned \"to let [themselves] be guided by one particular value which gives the European Union its true soul: this value is tolerance. And it took [them] centuries to learn this\". 1 Indeed, not only did it take Europeans centuries to create the institutions which we hope will express and foster the virtue of tolerance, the very concept of toleration seems to resist elucidation. Attempts to interpret, analyse, justify and define the nature and the limits of this virtue are pervasive of many important periods in the history of European moral and political thought. As Patrick Loobuyck, Theo de Wit and Susan Mendus remind us in their discussion of this centuries-long history of debate, the authors who have contributed to our understanding of tolerance are among the most important of Europe's political and moral thinkers including Augustine, Bodin, Bayle, Spinoza, Montesquieu, Locke, Lessing and J.S. Mill. Which goes to show that tolerance as a moral and political virtue has a European quality to it if only because it is an everpresent object of European debate and discussion.","PeriodicalId":80655,"journal":{"name":"Bijdragen tijdschrift voor filosofie en theologie","volume":"71 1","pages":"351 - 357"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2143/BIJ.71.4.2064948","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67907957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When it became clear that the perpetrators' motivations were couched in religious terms, the shock turned to anger. How could religion be related to such vicious acts?' 1 That question'How could (or can) religion be related to vicious acts and indeed to acts of terrorism?' is the question I want to address in this essay. More precisely, the essay is motivated by my puzzlement that so few of the many people who have written on this topic in recent years that is, in the years since 9/11 and 7 n take seriously the possibility that when terrorists say they are acting for religious reasons, they mean exactly that. There is, it seems to me, deep resistance to, or neglect of, this possibility in the modern literature on terrorism, and I think that that fact is significant both for our understanding of recent terrorist attacks on western liberal societies and for our understanding of the values of liberalism itself. In short, my hunch is that modern liberals do not have an accurate understanding of religiously motivated acts of violence and that that very fact makes them (us) more vulnerable to religiously motivated terrorist attacks. To make the problem slightly more vivid, let me begin with two recent, and very influential, discussions of terrorism. In his book, The Lesser Evil, Michael Ignatieff discusses religiously-motivated terrorism under the general heading 'The Temptations of Nihilism', and he suggests that where terrorists attempt to justify their actions by reference to religion, they are 'hi-jacking' scriptural tradition. He writes 'The devil can always quote scripture to his use, and there is never a shortage in any faith of texts justifying the use of force. Equally, all religions contain sacred texts urging believers to treat human beings decently","PeriodicalId":80655,"journal":{"name":"Bijdragen tijdschrift voor filosofie en theologie","volume":"71 1","pages":"426 - 437"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2143/BIJ.71.4.2064953","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67908542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

WHY TOLERANCE CANNOT BE OUR PRINCIPAL VALUE 为什么宽容不能成为我们的主要价值观

While at the inception of the modem era with the Edict of Nantes (1598) tolerance referred to respect for the freedom of conscience of heterodox confessions and also, already more difficult, the toleration of deviant (religious) behaviour, today, so Bubner has noted, tolerance has been promoted to a fundamental norm (Grundnorm), and to a keystone in state building (Baustoff von Staaten) one to which a pacifying effect is attributed which even contributes to a world society.2 In other words, tolerance has moved up from the margins to become a central political category. In this contribution I will first give an overview of the birth of modem tolerance, partly in line with Bubner and including the remarkable development pointed out by him concerning its re-evaluation (1). This development has not only occurred in the countries he uses -as examples, the US and Germany, but also in The Netherlands, perhaps more so than elsewhere. (IT) However, I hope to show that we are experiencing a surprising and alarming change in the concept of tolerance, perhaps in part as a reaction against this re-evaluation: tolerance has become a polemical category and the earlier pacifying intention is changed to one that marks boundaries and even one that justifies repression and aggression in its name. Some of our politicians and intellectuals openly promote intolerance as a contribution to civilisation and as a project in order to establish a future culture ... of tolerance. This begs the question as to what","PeriodicalId":80655,"journal":{"name":"Bijdragen tijdschrift voor filosofie en theologie","volume":"71 1","pages":"377 - 390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2143/BIJ.71.4.2064950","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67908890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CANON AS AN ACT OF CREATION 佳能:作为创造行为的佳能

{"title":"CANON AS AN ACT OF CREATION","authors":"Colby Dickinson","doi":"10.2143/BIJ.71.2.2051601","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2143/BIJ.71.2.2051601","url":null,"abstract":"The term 'messianic' has recently become one of philosophy's most appropriated religious terms, yet one apparently now bereft of its historical religious particularity and instead placed at the service of a secularized universal ethics. Hence, its initial association with such theologically inflected terms as 'redemption' or 'salvation' has seemingly been pushed aside. In this light, a genealogical approach to certain contemporary reworkings of the 'messianic' might prove most helpful in uncovering the reasons for this transformation from the theological to the philosophical, and what role, if any, theology still has in determining the meaning and usage of this highly significant term. Accordingly, I will here attempt to do just that by tracing the term through the work of the German Jewish critic Walter Benjamin, who wrote mainly in the interwar period, see the term significantly modified through the French deconstructionist Jacques Derrida, who utilized it between the mid to late-century, before being returned to in the Italian literary and political theorist Giorgio Agamben, whose usage runs up to the present. Accordingly, I will proceed as follows. First, I will begin by briefly looking at the formulations of Benjamin on the theo-political dimensions of the 'state of exception', which is a state called into existence through a decision of the reigning sovereign (akin perhaps to a president's power to pardon). This is a notion completely intertwined for him with the theological as it is an action that takes place external to the normal 'rules' of order. This state, however, is yet unfolded by Benjamin in fuller historical terms than is traditionally the case for a general political theory, a move he seems to borrow from the Judaic tradition's critique of political sovereignty. Indeed, he envisions this state as the obverse partner to the messianic, hence as a reworking of this originally Judaic term into an historical (immanent) call to remember what has been repressed (by sovereign power). The messianic becomes then, for Benjamin, a form of remembrance issued as a bid for justice to be disclosed within an alternate (non-sovereign) horizon of history. Second, though in modified form, this same expression of 'remembrance as justice' returns as the force of the 'messianic without messianism' revealed along similar eschatological horizons in the work of the deconstructionist Jacques Derrida. Indeed, Benjamin is often invoked by Derrida who, for his part, presents a thematic he only emphasized as more and more central to 1 …","PeriodicalId":80655,"journal":{"name":"Bijdragen tijdschrift voor filosofie en theologie","volume":"71 1","pages":"132 - 158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2143/BIJ.71.2.2051601","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67905906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
