• Sommario/riassunto: Der wissenschaftstheoretische Status konfessionsgebundener Theologie wird oft kritisch hinterfragt, da Theologie die aus Sicht der allgemeinen Wissenschaftstheorie notwendigen Bedingungen einer wissenschaftlichen Disziplin nicht erfüllen würde. Der vorliegende Band greift zentrale Einwände der Diskussion um die Wissenschaftlichkeit der Theologie auf und zeigt, dass sie einer kritischen Analyse nicht standhalten. Die Theologie verfügt sehr wohl über die Ressourcen sowohl aus historisch-systematischer Perspektive als auch in Anlehnung an die gegenwärtigen Diskurse der allgemeinen Wissenschaftstheorie ihre Wissenschaftlichkeit zu erweisen. Der Band umfasst sowohl einen historisch-systematischen als auch einen analytisch-systematischen Teil. Der erste Teil untersucht ausgewählte, historisch einflussreiche Positionen zur Wissenschaftlichkeit der Theologie, ihrer Entwicklung und ihrer Rechtfertigung. Der zweite Teil konzentriert sich auf die in der analytischen Philosophie und analytischen Theologie diskutierten wissenschaftstheoretischen Probleme der Theologie und entwickelt Antworten auf zentrale Einwände gegen die Wissenschaftlichkeit der Theologie. Mit Beiträgen von Michael Stickelbroeck, Ruben Schneider, Stascha Rohmer, Klaus Müller, Benedikt Paul Göcke, Uwe Meixner, Holm Tetens, Christian Tapp, Thomas Schärtl, Dominikus Kraschl, Christina Schneider, ; Christoph Krauß und Ludger Jansen.

• Sommario/riassunto: Modernizing Democracy brings together scholars focusing the role of associations and associating in contemporary societies. Organizations and associations have been identified as the “meso level of society” and as the “basic elements of democracy”. They are important providers of welfare services and play an important role between the individual and political spheres. In recent years the environment of associations and associating has changed dramatically. Individualization, commercialization and globalization are challenging both democracy and the capability of associations to fulfill the functions attributed to them by social sciences. This change provides the central question of the volume: Is being part of an organization or association becoming an outdated model? And do associations still have the capacity of modernizing societies or are they just outdated remnants of post-democracy? The contributions to Modernizing Democracy are organized into Studying Associations and Associating in the 21st Century: Theoretical and methodological considerations, Associating in times of flux and Associations and the Challenge of Capitalist Development. The book will be attractive to third sector researchers as well as a broader academic community of political scientists, sociologists, economists, legal scientists and related disciplines.
