Language and Spirit [Hardcover]

God is said to be Spirit, but the language of spirit is ignored in contemporary philosophy of religion. As well as exploring the notion of spirit in Hegel, Romanticism and Kierkegaard, participants explore the view that God is a spirit without a body, and the relations between 'spirit' and 'truth'.Acknowledgements Introduction Hegel's Dialectic of the Spirit; A.Min Voices in Discussion 1; D.Z.Phillips Spirit and Romanticism; M.von der Ruhr Voices in Discussion 2; D.Z.Phillips Kierkegaard on Language and Spirit; M.Westphal Voices in Discussion 3; D.Z.Phillips Interpreting the Language of Spirit: The Legacy of Rudolf Bultmann; S.M.Ogden Voices in Discussion 4; D.Z.Phillips Is God a Spirit?; P.Sherry Voices in Discussion 5; D.Z.Phillips Spirit and Truth; J.Kellenberger Voices in Discussion 6; D.Z.Phillips IndexJAMES KELLENBERGER is Professor of Philosophy at California State University, Northridge, USAANSELM MIN is Professor of Religion at Claremont Graduate University, USASCHUBERT M.
