Full textMircea Eliade has made meaningful contributions to the academic debate in the field of religion and comparative religious studies. As much as he had scholastic opinion that would find synthesis with, support and defend his thought patterns and argument, so too he had, of almost equal proportions, those who would criticize his scholarship, accusing it of being, amongst others, biased and "revealing uncritical unverifiable generalizations". The scope of this essay is to enter that debate, with the intention to specifically focus on and unpack some of the most important concepts that underlie Eliade's thinking and deliberations, rather than focusing on the holistic theory of religion as purported by him. These concepts will be measured against the African Religious experience, to see if it finds resonance or stands in conflict with it. In the process, this study attempts to reveal some aspects of Eliade's theory of religion that could be saved to fit an African religious perspective. It also attempts to identify some aspects or conceptions of Eliade's theory that are lacking if read through an African lens. The focus in this study will specifically be on conceptions such as the hierophany, the sacred, symbolism, and myth, and how these interact and show themselves within the African context.

Full textA dissertação analisa como Jung aborda o fenômeno religioso em sua teoria psicológica. Determinados conceitos revelam, mais especificamente, a forma pela qual o autor associa experiência religiosa e experiência psíquica. São eles :a noção de arquétipo e de experiência primordial, a idéia de símbolo, si-mesmo e individuação. Levanta ainda a seguinte questão: se Jung parte de sua experiência como psicólogo quando reflete sobre a temática da religião, ou se, por vezes, ao estruturar a sua teoria, toma o universo religioso como ponto de partida.
This dissertation analyses how Jung approaches the religious phenomenon is his psychological theory. Certain concepts reveal us, specifically, how Jung associates religious and psychic experience. They are the notion of archetype and primordial experience, the ideas of symbol, self and individuation. At the same time, broaches the matter if Jung starts from his experience as a psychologist, when he reflects about the subject of religion, or if he takes the religious universe as a startingpoint to structure his theory.

Full textDans cette étude, j'examine la théorie des propositions conditionnelles (qaḍāyā šarṭiyya muttaṣila) d'Avicenne (m. 1037) ainsi que son système des syllogismes répétitifs et conjonctifs (qiyāsāt istiṯnāʾiyya et qiyāsāt iqtirāniyya). J'établie que Avicenne a formulé sa théorie des propositions conditionnelles afin de rejeter le système des propositions conditionnelles et syllogismes hypothétiques (qiyāsāt šarṭiyya) d'Alfarabi (m. 950), qui s'est fondé sur une théorie de langue dans laquelle le contexte dialectique demeure au centre de l'analyse des propositions et des syllogismes (appelée "context theory"). Ainsi je démontre que le connecteur conditionnel "si, alors" dans la logique hypothétique d'Avicenne fonctionne comme l'opérateur logique au sens technique du terme. Pourtant, les bases théorétiques du syllogisme conjonctif sont tirées des Premiers Analytiques d'Aristote. Le système du syllogisme conjonctif et la théorie des conditionnelles quantifiées, que je considère ici parmi les apports les plus importants á l'histoire de la logique formelle, sont explicables à la lumière de la théorie syllogistique d'Aristote. Cependant, la logique stoïcienne ne joue pas un rôle essentiel.

Full textAn examination of the dialogue Plotinus has with art and beauty is offered. The relationship between Plato's divine intelligibles and art is discussed in context of the treatise On Beauty. The intelligible beauty of ideas, cosmos, nature and art are examined in context of the treatise On Intellectual Beauty. Plotinian theory of art is summarized.
Plotinus advances an "iconic" dialectic that serves his theological theory of art. The more important critical issues that arise from his description of the realm of art are addressed. Plotinian mysticism, and the subject of matter and form, identity and difference, is discussed. The opposing ways of the "picture" and the "word" are briefly summarized.
The appearance of theos is an event of hierophany . The meaning of art points towards the object of our ultimate concern. A Plotinian studio program for the painter concludes the thesis.

This study examines the lived experiences of the members of the Westboro Baptist Church, a small church based in Topeka, KS and known for engaging in extensive protesting, from the perspective of stigmatization and the subcultural identity theory of religious persistence. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of the congregation, exploring issues of how they perceive themselves to exist in relation to broader American society. A qualitative analysis of the interviews revealed three main themes: religion as a guiding framework, members’ relationships with others, and stigma and stigma management. Members of the Westboro Baptist Church see the world through a core Biblical framework of understanding that influences both how they relate to and disengage from interactions with others and the ways in which they negotiate stigma in these interactions. This research contributes to the body of research on stigma and stigma management as well as adds theoretically to the subcultural identity theory of religion.

Full textIn spite of the prevalence of methods and literature devoted to church health, many churches remain plateaued or are declining. Some churches ignore reality and base their worth and identity on things less than biblical identity and Christian mission. Many declining churches demonstrate an environment similar to the codependency seen in addictive family systems. The published literature has expanded the understanding of the concept of codependency that was traditionally applied to family systems affected by alcohol and substance abuse by applying it to dysfunctional organizational structures. This project builds on this research. It investigated the hypothesis that dysfunctional churches exhibit dynamics similar to codependent family systems. The project adapted the Spann-Fischer Scale for Codependency, and in a pilot study of nine churches, two scales were developed: Church Health (a = .891) and Church Codependency (a = .745). A moderate negative correlation (r = -.431) between these scales supported this hypothesis. It appears that the concept of codependency possesses elements that could assist church leaders to better understand dysfunctional churches. The project suggests a new approach to church health in certain environments and provides a new lens through which those desiring to help the local church grow might view their work.
