Geschichte sei eine Erzählung vom Vergangenen, die sich dem Interesse der Gegenwart verdanke. Jede Geschichte könne aus verschiedenen Perspektiven erzählt werden, lasse aber nicht die Vergangenheit wieder auferstehen. Warum dann Geschichte als Wissenschaft, wenn sie Multiperspektivität und Uneindeutigkeit des Wissens miteinander verbinden will, den Anspruch erhebt, in und von jeder Historikergeneration neu erzählt zu werden? Der Berliner Osteuropahistoriker fragt nach dem Einfluss der Philosophie auf die Geschichte, nach den grundlegenden Methoden und der erkenntnistheoretischen Basis der Wissenschaft und exemplifiziert dies an den wichtigsten geschichtstheoretischen Überlegungen und Konstrukten des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. Für Studenten und einschlägig vorgebildete Interessenten an der Geschichtswissenschaft ein vorzüglich geeigneter einführender Überblick

As a model for processing information about people's perceptions to understand the complex world and society in which they live, the cultural schema serves as a key concept in Cultural Linguistics when directing to the perception and processing of information about people, and social groups, and events. Cultural schema theory is valuable in deciphering culturally structured concepts, covering the entire range of human experience expressed in many fields such as education, belief, religion, etc. Through the practice of sacred rituals, each religious believer can form his system of ideas about entities in his or her belief world. Those experiences and experiences are conceptualized through the language picture. In the process of cultural development and integration, the cultural awareness of the Catholic community also reflects certain changes in Catholicism in the West in harmony with the customs and beliefs of Eastern countries. like Vietnam, expressed through the practice of funeral rites and traditional marriage of the Vietnamese. In this article, by using quantitative and qualitative methods, we have conducted a character analysis of the above cultural schemas based on the corpus of 120 discourses drawn during the implementation perform funeral and marriage rites for Vietnamese Catholics. Research results show that cultural schemas (event diagrams, role schemas, image schemas, propositional schemas, and emotional schemas) reflect the cultural knowledge (beliefs, standards, principles, and expectations) of each Vietnamese Catholic about DEATH and MARRIAGE as a journey or a new transformation in one's life... That is the basis for them to transmit achieve and explain the basic values of these two concepts, helping us to understand more deeply the mind of the Vietnamese Catholic community in Vietnam when performing two important rituals in human life in reality.

There are three main ways to acquire the knowledge of the existence of God and the knowledge of His nature. These are either the arguments taking into account the nature of the world and our thinking about the world, or it is the argumentation trying to prove the authenticity of certain historical events, or it is a reference to particular types of experiences, called mystical experiences. In the case of Christian philosophy we will have to consider, firstly, the cosmological and ontological arguments for the existence of God, and, secondly, the attempts to show the authenticity of reports of the events regarding Jesus of Nazareth and, thirdly, the arguments in favor of the objectivity of mystical experiences recorded in the history of Christian religion. In regard to all of the above-mentioned three sources of knowledge about God, I would like to ask the following questions. How do we know that all of them refer to the same object? On what basis can we say that even if these three 'ways to God' are correct, they refer us to the same being? Are they independent of each other, and if they depend on each other in some way, what are the relationships among them? If we were not able to demonstrate that the item referred to by the term 'God' in all of these three ways is the same object or being, it would represent a significant weakness in Christian theology and philosophy. I will try to outline what relationship may exist between these three sources of knowledge about God. Then I will attempt to describe the criteria connecting all these sources of knowledge.

In victimology, fear of crime is understood as an emotional response to the perceived threat of crime. Fear of crime has been found to be affected by several variables besides local crime rates and personal experiences with victimization. This study examines the relationship between religion and fear of crime, an underexplored topic in the criminological literature. This gap is rather surprising given the central role religion has been found to play in shaping the attitudes and perceptions of congregants. In particular, religion has been found to foster generalized trust, which should engender lower levels of distrust or misanthropy, including that which is directed towards a general fear of crime. OLS regression was performed using data from the West Georgia Area Survey (n = 380). Controlling for demographic, community involvement, and political ideology variables, frequency of religious attendance was significantly and negatively associated with fear of property crime. This relationship remained even after a perceived neighborhood safety variable was introduced to the model. However, religious attendance was not significantly related to fear of violent crime, and religious orientation was unrelated to fear of property and violent crime. These results suggest that religious involvement conditionally reduces fear of crime, and the authors recommend that future research explore relationships between religion and fear of crime.

Dieser Band versammelt die Vorträge einer Tagung der Johannes- Althusius-Gesellschaft e. V., die vom 26.–29.5.2016 in Wittenberg stattfand. Die umfassende Thematik wurde auf vier Aspekte konzentriert: 1) Religion und Konstitutionalisierung 2) die Bedeutung der Reformation für Rechts- und Staatslehren der frühen Neuzeit, 3) Völkerrecht, 4) Recht, Gehorsam und Religion. Dem folgt auch die Gliederung des Buches. Leider ist die Einleitung des Herausgebers sehr formal. Angesichts einiger sehr anregender neuer Forschungsthesen bzw. -ergebnisse wäre der inhaltliche Schwung der Tagung gleich als Eröffnung gut vermittelbar gewesen. .

Das neuzeitliche Europa war durch eine vielfältige religiös-konfessionelle Differenzierung bestimmt. Infolgedessen sahen sich die Konfessionen und Religionen beständig herausgefordert, ihre eigene Identität jeweils in Abgrenzung von konkurrierenden Entwürfen religiöser Weltdeutung und Sinnstiftung zu definieren und sich politisch gegen die Vertreter solcher Entwürfe zu behaupten. Mit der Verbreitung des Ideals der religiösen Toleranz erfuhren die Mechanismen der Exklusion, auf denen die Konstruktion religiös-konfessioneller Identitäten herkömmlich beruhte, signifikante Veränderungen.

Das Grundrecht Freiheit ist bestimmend für die Ordnungspolitik. Doch Freiheit ist mehr: Identität stiftendes Phänomen, Resultat eines Paradoxons und ordnendes Element, Letzteres sogar in der Musik. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes reflektieren das Phänomen Freiheit in seinen zahlreichen Facetten und stets mit Blick auf den aktuellen Zeitgeist. Zu Wort kommen die unterschiedlichsten Perspektiven: Rechtsphilosophie, Rechtspolitik, Philosophie, Soziologie sowie Ordnungs- und Wettbewerbspolitik. Es ergeben sich ungeahnte Einblicke in das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Freiheit und Zwang.

This paper shows how academics and the Brazilian government suppressed Afro-Brazilian religions in Rio de Janeiro in the 1930s. Both United States and French anthropologists had a role in developing attitudes toward Afro-Brazilian religions. They corresponded with race attitudes about whitening the Brazilian population. Whereas prominent United States anthropologists often evidenced negative attitudes toward these religions, the French presented a much more positive perspective. These new attitudes created an environment for greater tolerance to religions formerly persecuted.

Justin Barrett and Kelly James Clark have suggested that cognitive science of religion supports the existence of a god-faculty akin to sensus divinitatis. They propose that God may have given rise to the god-faculty via guided evolution. This suggestion raises two theological worries. First, our natural cognition seems to favor false god-beliefs over true ones. Second, it also makes us prone to tribalism. If God hates idolatry and moral evil, why would he give rise to mind with such biases? A Plantingian response would point to the noetic effects of sin. Such a response, however, would have to assume that God is restoring the minds of believers. This paper considers empirical reasons to doubt that such a process is taking place.

[Resumen] En el artículo analizamos como el patriarcado, entendido como orden político, económico y cultural, continúa siendo dominante y, por tanto, ofreciendo obstáculos a la igualdad de género. Unos obstáculos que derivan de un modelo de masculinidad hegemónica que perpetúa unas relaciones asimétricas y un orden cultural basado en la subordinación de las mujeres. Las religiones constituyen un factor esencial en esa reproducción del patriarcado. De ahí la necesidad de someterlas a una crítica feminista, de la misma manera que es urgente revisar la construcción de la virilidad en unos sistemas sociales que siguen teniendo al hombre como paradigma y como sujeto privilegiado ; [Abstract] In the article we analyze like the patriarchy, understood as a political, economic and cultural order, keeps on being domineering and, therefore, offering obstacles to the gender equality. These obstacles derive from a model of hegemonic masculinity that perpetuates asymmetric relations and a cultural order based on the women subordination. Religions constitute an essential factor in the patriarchy reproduction. Hence we need to submit them to a feminist criticism; likewise it is urgent to check the construction of the virility in the social systems where man is the paradigm and a privileged subject.
