Google Preview: What does it mean to be human in a world filled with tragedy? With creativity and insight Edward Farley, one of today's most respected theologians, here addresses this universal and haunting question of evil. Farley anchors his discussion firmly in interhuman (I-thou) dynamics as a key to unfolding the personal and social spheres of human existence. "It is," says Farley, "the corruption of elemental passions and the resulting contagion of the personal and social spheres that provide a total view of human evil and its redemptive possibilities."; Edward Farley is Buffington Professor of Theology at Vanderbilt Divinity School.; Acknowledgments Preface Introduction: On Cognitive Style PART ONE: THREE SPHERES OF HUMAN REALITY The Interhuman Sphere The Social Sphere The Personal Sphere The Biological Aspect of Personal Being Elemental Passions of Personal Being PART TWO: A PARADIGM OF GOOD AND EVIL Idolatry Being-Founded Corrupted Historicity and the Creation of Beauty The Corrupted Passion of Subjectivity and the Freedom of Vitality The Corrupted Passion of the Interhuman and Agapic Freedom The Corrupted Passion for Reality and the Freedom of Wonder The Corruption and Freedom of Bodily Life Alienation and Communion: The Redemption of the Interhuman Subjugation: The Structure of Social Evil Social Redemption Redemptive Communities Index; Google Preview content
