Boesche, Roger. "Hedonism and Nihilism: The Predictions of Tocqueville and Nietzsche." Tocqueville Review 8 (December 1987): 165–84. http://dx.doi.org/10.3138/ttr.8.165.
Full textAbstract:
Tocqucville was one of the nineteenth-century’s finest liberal thinkers and, despite serious religious doubt, in his private life he adopted what he regarded as an ethic firmly founded upon Christian principles. By contrast, Nietzsche challenged nearly every political and ethical assumption that Europe and Tocqucville held sacred. Yet both of these thinkers, who appear to have so little in common, feared that Europe might well stagnate in a future of comfort plus doubt, hedonism plus nihilism.

Full textAbstract:
The short essaistic paper tries to reassume the main reasons of the ambiguous memory of the great humanist's reform-programme. Erasmus in his numerous writings mocked contemporary politics, the corruption, hedonism and selfishness both of ecclesiastical and secular rulers and exhorted the radical reform of the whole christian society, but in the meantime he might be completely aware of the irrealistic and utopian possibility of such a universal and spiritual turnaround. The reason, why he remained consequent in this wish (which in fact was not a coherent programme) is rooted in the very nature his being as christian humanist: the "universal intellectual" who criticized so sharply the society was both a role but a most serious justification of his personal and intellectual existence; furthermore, Erasmus of course was also aware of the nothing less ambiguous ciceronian requirements of the politically active but the same time withdrawn and creative humanist intellectual.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the making of gendered and religious identities among a group of Ghanaian Methodist women in London by bringing to the fore the complex and irreverent ways in which the women of Susanna Wesley Mission Auxiliary (SUWMA) negotiate their recognition within the predominantly patriarchal settings of the Methodist Church. If, on the one hand, the association and its members conform to Christian values and widely accepted Ghanaian constructions of womanhood, on the other hand, flouting expectations of pious femininity, they claim a unique, elevated position within the church. Their transgressive hedonism can thus be read as a performative assertion of their claims to respect, recognition and leadership beyond the narrow parameters of gendered modesty. Many of the women are senior church leaders and respected members of the diaspora. All are successful professional career women and economically independent. Their association is simultaneously about promoting the Christian faith while being recognized as successful, cosmopolitan, glamorous middle-class women. It is this duality which the present article highlights by showing how members of the association negotiate and construct their subjectivities both within the Methodist Church and the Ghanaian diaspora, while they also negotiate their relationship with the Methodist Church in Ghana.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates how platform design features affect the funding motivation of Muslim users on loan-based crowdfunding platforms. Theoretically grounded in Andreoni’s warm-glow giving theory and Sober and Wilson’s model of evolutionary and psychological giving, this work has high practical relevance, given the increasing demand for Islamic financial products. Loan-based crowdfunding platforms are important to the unique context of this research since Islamic religious constraints regulate monetary transactions involving lending. We used a scenario-based survey developed on the basis of a pilot study and confirmed by our manipulation check. The results show that “hedonism” represented by monetary interest negatively affected Muslim users’ willingness to engage in a loan-based crowdfunding project. This finding challenges the commonly agreed-upon egoistic motivator for loan-based crowdfunding platforms (i.e., monetary interest), which is based on Western Christian and Chinese Confucian capitalist economic and financial paradigms. Remarkably, we also found that Muslim funders’ level of willingness to engage on the hedonistic platform had an exponentially positive effect on the amount of money that funders were willing to lend. By contrast, “warm-glow giving,” manifested as belonging to a community, had no effect on users’ engagement. Implications of these findings for theory and practice are discussed.

This research aims to examine the influence of hedonistic style, spiritual intelligence, and financial literacy on students' personal financial management at the Faculty of Economics, Indonesian Christian University, Toraja. This research utilizes quantitative methodologies. There are 1,845 students enrolled in the Faculty of Economics at the Indonesian Christian University Toraja. The Slovin formula was applied to 95 individuals as research samples. Primary data and secondary data are the types of data that are used, and the SPSS version 25 program is used to manage them. Questionnaires utilizing the probability sampling approach, proportionate stratified random sampling, are among the data collecting methods. This research employs instrument test, classical assumption test, multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing as data analysis approaches. At a significance level of 5%, the results of the study indicated that financial literacy did not have a significant positive influence on the personal financial management of students, whereas the hedonistic style variable had a positive but non-significant effect. Spiritual intelligence has a beneficial and significant impact on the financial management of pupils. Styles of hedonism, spiritual intelligence, and financial literacy all have positive and significant effects on personal financial management, as evidenced by the estimated F value of 32.210, which is more than the F table value of 2.705 and has a significance level of 0.000 less than 0.05.

Este artigo tem como objetivo propor uma investigação sobre o conceito de Vontade a partir de Malebranche (1638-1715) e Schopenhauer (1788-1860). Partimos do pressuposto de que, guardadas as devidas proporções, existem elementos que nos permitem afirmar certa semelhança entre ambos. Respeitando as particularidades de cada um, também nos dedicamos em apontá-las sumariamente. Para tanto, dividimos este artigo em três partes. A primeira apresenta aspectos gerais do conceito de Vontade proposto por Malebranche. A segunda debate o conceito de Vontade de vida de Schopenhauer. Na terceira apresentamos uma discussão sobre os caminhos distintos que eles tomaram a partir de um ponto de partida comum: a noção de vontade cega. A partir desta investigação, sustentamos nosso argumento acerca das semelhanças e confluências que, entretanto, não diminuem a especificidade de cada autor, especialmente quanto aos resultados; o cristão pendendo para o hedonismo, enquanto o ateu se inclinou ao ascetismo. Abstract This article aims to propose an investigation into the concept of Will from Malebranche (1638-1715) and Schopenhauer (1788-1860). We start from the assumption that, keeping the due proportions, there are elements that allow us to affirm a certain similarity between the two. Respecting the particularities of each one, we are also dedicated to briefly pointing them out. To this end, we have divided this article into three parts. The first presents general aspects of the concept of Will proposed by Malebranche. The second discusses Schopenhauer's Will to Life concept. In the third, we present a discussion of the different paths they took from a common starting point: the notion of blind will. From this investigation, we support our argument about the similarities and confluences that, however, do not diminish the specificity of each author, especially regarding the results; the Christian leaning toward hedonism, while the atheist leaning toward asceticism.

Full textAbstract:
From earliest apostolic and patristic times, Christian writers have generally been suspicious of the common human desire to improve one's economic status. In Britain, however, by the end of the seventeenth century, this suspicion had all but vanished as most Christians began to accommodate themselves to the exigencies of an increasingly dynamic commercial society. This article takes up the early eighteenth-century controversy over the compatibility of traditional Christian moral virtues with the demands of economic and material progress as reflected in the writings of the two most important antagonists in the controversy, Bernard Mandeville and William Law. Although both Mandeville and Law spoke the language of Christian rigorism and perfectionism, and proclaimed attachment to the full austerity of the Christian Gospels, Mandeville, it is explained, was really a hedonist in disguise who feigned attachment to traditional Christian and Stoic ascetic principles merely to be able to discredit those principles. Law, it is explained, was a man of uncommon piety and devoutness who was shocked by the increasing secularism and materialism of his age, and who sought to recall his contemporaries to a life of true Christian holiness. The article concludes with an evaluation of the relative merits of the positions of each of the two thinkers.

JOHN PIPER: THE MAKING OF
A CHRISTIAN HEDONIST
Justin Gerald Taylor, Ph.D.
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2015
Chair: Dr. Michael A. G. Haykin
This dissertation on noted pastor and author John Piper (1946- ) constitutes an early effort in the field of intellectual biography, tracing four key influences--in roughly chronological order--upon Piper's life and theology. Those with primary influence in Piper's formative years were his parents, William S. H. Piper (1919-2007) and Ruth Mohn Piper (1918-1974), who exhibited a unique combination of joyful fundamentalism. Piper's next major influence was C. S. Lewis (1898-1963), discovered during his undergraduate studies at Wheaton College, who introduced him to romantic rationalism. Piper's first teacher at Fuller Seminary was Daniel P. Fuller (1925- ), a hermeneutics professor who planted the seeds of Christian hedonism and who gave him a love for exegetical biblicism. It was during these seminary days and into his time of doctoral study that Piper discovered Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), whose affectional Calvinism would go on to shape Piper's theology more than anyone else. Piper's three primary venues of ministerial vocation--teaching, preaching, and writing--are all examined to reveal the ways in which each of these influencers played various roles in Piper's development of Christian hedonism and his distinct contribution to a theology of the Christian life. The dissertation concludes with two applications of the foregoing analysis, exploring how Piper uses Scripture and how he appropriates church history for pastoral ends. Also included is a comprehensive bibliography of Piper's published works (1971-2015).

Full textAbstract:
This chapter outlines one Christian theological account of human flourishing, with its roots in the Reformed Protestant tradition, but also drawing on other Christian traditions and disciplinary perspectives. Human flourishing is understood as the fulfillment of God’s good purposes for human creatures and (following the Reformed theologian Karl Barth) includes the dimensions of relationship with God, relationships with others, living a physically embodied and integrated life, and living out a particular vocation in a particular place and time. This theological account of flourishing is brought into dialogue with current social-scientific models of well-being, particularly hedonic and eudaimonic models, and points of agreement and critique are identified. Finally, the chapter suggests a few ways in which this theological account might have practical implications for the measurement and promotion of well-being or human flourishing.
