| Zusammenfassung: | Throughout the twentieth century, German writers, philosophers, theologians, and historians turned to Gnosticism to make sense of the modern condition. While some saw this ancient Christian heresy as a way to rethink modernity, most German intellectuals questioned Gnosticism's return in a contemporary setting. In No Spiritual Investment in the World, Willem Styfhals explores the Gnostic worldview's enigmatic place in these discourses on modernity, presenting a comprehensive intellectual history of Gnosticism's role in postwar German thought. Establishing the German-Jewish philosopher Jacob Taubes at the nexus of the debate, Styfhals traces how such figures as Hans Blumenberg, Hans Jonas, Eric Voegelin, Odo Marquard, and Gershom Scholem contended with Gnosticism and its tenets on evil and divine absence as metaphorical detours to address issues of cultural crisis, nihilism, and the legitimacy of the modern world. These concerns, he argues, centered on the difficulty of spiritual engagement in a world from which the divine has withdrawn. Reading Gnosticism against the backdrop of postwar German debates about secularization, political theology, and post-secularism, No Spiritual Investment in the World sheds new light on the historical contours of postwar German philosophy |

| spelling | Styfhals, Willem 1988- Verfasser (DE-588)118866400X aut No Spiritual Investment in the World Gnosticism and Postwar German Philosophy Willem Styfhals Ithaca, NY Cornell University Press [2019] © 2019 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Signale: Modern German Letters, Cultures, and Thought Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 20. Jun 2019) Throughout the twentieth century, German writers, philosophers, theologians, and historians turned to Gnosticism to make sense of the modern condition. While some saw this ancient Christian heresy as a way to rethink modernity, most German intellectuals questioned Gnosticism's return in a contemporary setting. In No Spiritual Investment in the World, Willem Styfhals explores the Gnostic worldview's enigmatic place in these discourses on modernity, presenting a comprehensive intellectual history of Gnosticism's role in postwar German thought. Establishing the German-Jewish philosopher Jacob Taubes at the nexus of the debate, Styfhals traces how such figures as Hans Blumenberg, Hans Jonas, Eric Voegelin, Odo Marquard, and Gershom Scholem contended with Gnosticism and its tenets on evil and divine absence as metaphorical detours to address issues of cultural crisis, nihilism, and the legitimacy of the modern world. These concerns, he argues, centered on the difficulty of spiritual engagement in a world from which the divine has withdrawn. Reading Gnosticism against the backdrop of postwar German debates about secularization, political theology, and post-secularism, No Spiritual Investment in the World sheds new light on the historical contours of postwar German philosophy In English Blumenberg, Hans 1920-1996 (DE-588)118664123 gnd rswk-swf Scholem, Gershom 1897-1982 (DE-588)118610295 gnd rswk-swf Jonas, Hans 1903-1993 (DE-588)118558226 gnd rswk-swf Marquard, Odo 1928-2015 (DE-588)119179997 gnd rswk-swf Voegelin, Eric 1901-1985 (DE-588)118627368 gnd rswk-swf Taubes, Jacob 1923-1987 (DE-588)118756257 gnd rswk-swf Ideengeschichte 1945-2000 gnd rswk-swf PHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Modern bisacsh Gnosticism Gnosis (DE-588)4021391-2 gnd rswk-swf Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 gnd rswk-swf Deutschland (DE-588)4011882-4 g Gnosis (DE-588)4021391-2 s Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 s Ideengeschichte 1945-2000 z DE-604 Taubes, Jacob 1923-1987 (DE-588)118756257 p Blumenberg, Hans 1920-1996 (DE-588)118664123 p Voegelin, Eric 1901-1985 (DE-588)118627368 p Jonas, Hans 1903-1993 (DE-588)118558226 p Scholem, Gershom 1897-1982 (DE-588)118610295 p Marquard, Odo 1928-2015 (DE-588)119179997 p https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501731013 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
