Comment on Kierkegaard, Levinas, and an Inwardness Higher Than Itself by Daniel Donovan

Daniel Donovan — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 05:19:56 +0000

Even if there is some sense of repetition you are incorrect. The “repetition is the source of anxiety and fear, our inability to reconcile our finite and infinite natures. We do not emerge from this state, we cannot. The God-relationship is necessary to exit the state and we become “infused”, as you call it, after this salvation. It is being in this state that causes the need for reconciliation. In Fear and Trembling the point is that we must understand there is may be a wider knowledge existing more profound than our own, that we do not see clearly as our selves, not from within the box, and so must reach out for assistance and accept a higher morality. We must come to know that even what we may see as wrong might truthfully be good; and so exampled in the extreme so as to include, that all that we know as morality may be flawed, as we knowingly do not know all, this is espoused by even such non-religous philosophers as Hegel.

Comment on Week of Milbank, post 3: René Girard needs more imagination by Craig

Craig — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 05:56:13 +0000

That’s quite a scapegoat he makes of Girard’s theory there. His (Girard’s) positive normative thesis, insofar as he sees himself fit to offer one, amounts to the imitation of Christ.

I just can’t see what his problem is here? I assume he is still reading the non-sacrificial reading? Girard repudiated that.

Comment on Kierkegaard, Levinas, and an Inwardness Higher Than Itself by The Psychology of Bad Christians And Why They Become Legalists « Theology of Dunces

[...] You should read Fear and Trembling. It’s by Kierkegaard. It’s free to read online here or can be bought in book form here . It’s basically a meditation on Abraham and his near killing of Isaac. It’s awesome and you’ll feel awesome and be a better and smarter person for it. And if you read it and want to find the arguments that nicely and with all reverence prove Kierkegaard’s thesis wrong, read this essay by Emmanuel Levinas or summary of the debate here. An interesting rebuttal against Levinas’ rebuttal in defense of Kierkegaard, click here. [...]

I too am looking for instruction booklet and or idea booklet for construx set. My son had it when he was young 28 years ago. His son is now into building so I would like to hand them down but….I think it would be difficult for him not to be able to follow some kind of directions. So….if anyone knows where I can get them, please post.

The Construx fan page on Facebook has a few pictures of the instructions and at least one step-by-step picture set. There was a post a while back about taking requests for pictures/building ideas.

Comment on My paper on paradox in Kierkegaard and de Lubac, with notes by Eric Lee

Eric Lee — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 23:16:40 +0000

Jules,

Thanks for the interest! Unfortunately, I had to take the link to the paper down because it has now been published in the following volume of essays:

Belief and Metaphysics, edited by Peter M. Candler, Jr. and Conor Cunningham (London: SCM Press, 2007).

The link to your paper no longer works. Any chance you could send it to me? If so, and if I have a choice in the matter, I would prefer the published version.

I admire both Kierkegaard and de Lubac, and would like to learn from you.

I remember hearing this on an album, one I downloaded of course, but I can’t remember which one or seem to find anything other than his three official albums. From which show did this joke come?

Actually, he never posted them on the site, but e-mailed one big document to the conference delegates that contained all the papers. I can send it your way if you want.
