Abstract: Once upon a time, the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was a solution, a pretty picture of the future that good-hearted and moderate people could imagine as providing enough justice and satisfaction to both sides as to be achievable by bargaining in good faith and with support from the international community. It remains a pretty picture of the future, but no longer an outcome that anyone knows how to achieve. A pretty picture of the future without a plan for getting there is just that a picture not a solution. Indeed, it has been years, perhaps decades, since the success of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians became so utterly implausible that efforts to conduct or encourage them ceased to matter, except for the political cover that making such efforts could give to politicians and diplomats primarily interested in other things.

The article reviews a cultural hybrid, which is defined as religious political science or "theopolitics". Within the framework of this phenomenon, according to the author, the language of church mission and catechetical practices is subordinated to the discourse of political activists. Among the examples of such subordination are the so-called "maidan theology", the Declaration on the "Russian World" Teaching, Polish political Catholicism, the accession of the Hrodna episcopate clergy to the "zmagar" political opposition in 2020, etc. Religious political science tends to consider politics itself as a religious practice; political theology, on the contrary, looks at political issues as something that should be brought in accordance with a theological canon. The goals of theopolitics are reached with the close application of modernist theology. The latter seeks to transform the Christian canon according to the secularism, in particular, to sacralize specific events in secular history - this principle is characteristic of concepts from the category of the so-called "theology after" (after Auschwitz, after 9/11, after the global pandemic, etc.) According to the author, the field of church mission is thus taken under control, preaching is reinterpreted in line with the political propaganda, the church is represented as a subsystem of a "civil society". The author emphasizes the importance of the motives of the "weak Church" and "weak God" for creating a "theological" justification of the ideas of religious political science and concludes that theopolitics is one of the manifestations of the "new Reformation" (otherwise: secular reformation) aimed at secularisation of church institutions.

This article elucidates the connection between anti-trans and anti-abortion political movements, looking closely at laws banning gender-affirming care in the wake of the Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson decision in 2022. In particular, the article claims, "anti-abortion and anti-trans political successes are floated by a moral crisis over a fantasized, imperiled child."

Aimed at an international readership, this book offers a representative collection of essays by the German philosopher, Georg Picht (1913-1982), who was a specialist in Greek philosophy, practical philosophy and philosophy of religion. Picht's themes address different disciplines, such as ancient philosophy, systematic philosophy and political analysis, and often contain critical statements on significant developments from the European Enlightenment to the Cold War era. Other essays offer a distinctive interdisciplinary approach characteristic of the author. These contributions are relevant to both philosophy and science as they discuss, for instance, philosophical definitions of space and time or the relationship between history and evolution. Another part of the book includes texts on art that present Picht's authentic definition of art and his theory of the interdependence of art and politics. - For the first time, key texts of the German philosopher and political thinker Georg Picht are presented to a global readership in English. - Like Nietzsche's philosophy, Picht's work is grounded in his outstanding professionalism in the different fields of classics, embracing not only textsand theories of the great thinkers from the pre-Socratic to the post-Aristotelian and Stoic philosophies but also the main currents of ancient literature. - Picht's importance as a political author and public adviser is exceptional, and may explain why his lifelong friend Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker - another pioneer presented in this series - called him his "teacher"
