Hardcover. 1st edition. xiii, [1], 287 p.; 23.5 cm. By secret interpretations Tillich concealed uncompromising atheism in a technically truthful way. Contents -- 1. Shaking the foundations: in search of the key, unlocking the door, the foundations crumble, saying no, the unconditional no -- 2. He who has ears: the hidden message, symbolism: the negative yes, a dialectical approach, correlation: a reinterpretation, estrangement: a doctrine of man -- 3. The God above God: 5 basic clues, reason and revelation,being and God -- 4. The symbolic Christ: Jesus versus Christ,the new being,christological dialectics, a "home stretch" recapitulation -- 5. Dialectical humanism: synthesis and the Spirit, a dialectical trinity, a philosophy of life, a philosophy of history,dialectics in review -- 6. Critics and criticism:some false starts, to worship mankind, beyond the system, summing up -- Index -- `System versus Reality. The main reason Tillich gets into somuch difficulty withhis theology of man isthat he permits his system to dictate the content of his thought. The trouble isthat Tillich's system is geared to cleverness and deception rather than to the discovery of insights about reality. As cleverness, the system attempts to execute the Grand Synthesis of theology and philosophy which holds Tillich in thrall; as deception its function is to camouflage the hidden message and thereby protect Tillich's standing in the Church. I have my doubts about what Tillich has accomplished by way of uniting theology and philosophy--and about the value of such an enterprise. The deception, it must be conceded, has been remarkably effective. But to get to the point, the system has been utterly unable to serve the quest for wisdom, an end for which it was not designed.'

Condition: as new. Amherst, N.Y : Prometheus, 2012. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 444 pp. - For over fifty years, Hegel interpreters have rejected the former belief that Hegel used thesis-antithesis-synthesis dialectics. In this incisive analysis of Hegel's philosophy, Leonard F. Wheat shows that the modern interpretation is false. Wheat rigorously demonstrates that there are in fact thirty-eight well-concealed dialectics in Hegel's two most important works--twenty-eight in Phenomenology of Spirit and ten in The Philosophy of History. Wheat also develops other major new insights: Hegel's chief dialectical format consists of a two-concept thesis, a two-concept antithesis, and a two-concept synthesis that borrows one concept from the thesis and one from the antithesis. All dialectics are analogically based on the Christian separation-and-return myth: the dialectic separates from and returns to a thesis concept. Hegel's enigmatic Spirit is a four-faceted, deliberately fictitious, nonsupernatural entity that exists only as an atheistic redefinition of "God." Spirit's "divine life" begins not with consciousness but with unconsciousness, in the prehuman state of nature-before Spirit acquires its human mind. Hegel's concept of freedom is not a sociopolitical concept but release from bondage to religious superstition (belief in a supernatural God). In Hegel's widely misinterpreted master-and-slave parable, the master is God, the slave is man, and the slave's gaining his freedom is man's becoming an atheist. The standard non-Hegelian base-superstructure interpretation of Marx's dialectics is false. Marx's basic dialectic is actually this: thesis = communal ownership poverty, antithesis = private ownership wealth, synthesis = communal ownership wealth. Wheat also shows that Marx and Tillich, who subtly used Hegelian dialectics in their own works, are the only authors who have understood Hegelian dialectics. Thoroughly researched and exhaustive in detail, this radical reinterpretation of Hegel's philosophy should greatly interest Hegel scholars and students. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9781616146429.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is one of the most popular fantasy works of our time. Both the trilogy and the movies based on it are being marketed chiefly as YA (young adult) fare. But Leonard F. Wheat shows in this fascinating analysis that His Dark Materials is far more than a YA tale. At a deeper level it is a complex triple allegory--a surface story that uses 231 symbols to tell three hidden stories. As such, it is among the most profound, intellectually challenging, and thoroughly adult works ever written. Wheat brings the hidden stories to light. He demonstrates how Pullman retells two prominent works of British literature--C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and John Milton's Paradise Lost. Pullman's aim is to counter Lewis's pro-Christian allegory with his own anti-Christian allegory. Pullman does this in his second allegory by turning Paradise Lost upside down. Satan and his daughter, Sin, along with Adam's murderous son Cain, become heroes; God and Jesus become villains. This retold story depicts our society's warfare between knowledge (symbolized by Dust) and religious superstitions (symbolized by Specters). Pullman adds an original third hidden story featuring Christian missionaries, Charles Darwin, agnostics, and atheists. Wheat's intriguing interpretation of Pullman's work is the first to point out the many allegorical features of His Dark Materials and to highlight the ingenious ways in which Pullman subtly attacks religious institutions and superstitions. Pullman fans as well as readers interested in fantasy or concerned about religious coercion will find Wheat's book not only stimulating but overflowing with surprises.…
