NOT JUST INTERPRETATIONS, THERE ARE FACTS, TOO / G, René -- NOTES -- BIBLIOGRAPHYThe debate over the place of religion in secular, democratic societies dominates philosophical and intellectual discourse. These arguments often polarize around simplistic reductions, making efforts at reconciliation impossible. Yet more rational stances do exist, positions that broker a peace between relativism and religion in people's public, private, and ethical lives.Christianity, Truth, and Weakening Faith advances just such a dialogue, featuring the collaboration of two major philosophers known for their progressive approach to this issue. Seeking unity over difference, Gianni Vattimo and René Girard turn to Max Weber, Eric Auerbach, and Marcel Gauchet, among others, in their exploration of truth and liberty, relativism and faith, and the tensions of a world filled with new forms of religiously inspired violence. Vattimo and Girard ultimately conclude that secularism and the involvement (or lack thereof) of religion in governance are, in essence, produced by Christianity. In other words, Christianity is "the religion of the exit from religion," and democracy, civil rights, the free market, and individual freedoms are all facilitated by Christian culture. Through an exchange that is both intimate and enlightening, Vattimo and Girard share their unparalleled insight into the relationships among religion, modernity, and the role of Christianity, especially as it exists in our multicultural world.ChristianityPhilosophyChristianity and cultureRelativityElectronic books.ChristianityPhilosophy.Christianity and culture.Relativity.261.2/1Vattimo Gianni1936-10352Girard René1923-386685Antonello Pierpaolo594105MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457089403321Christianity, truth, and weakening faith2454500UNINA01582nam a2200397 i 450099100097387970753620020507180902.0981026s1997 ne b 001 0 eng 0792344790 (v. 1)0792350308 (v. 2)079236970X (v. 3)0792350316 (set)b10783404-39ule_instLE01305118ExLDip.to Matematicaeng514.0921AMS 01-06AMS 01A60AMS 54-03LC QA611.A3H36Handbook of the history of general topology /edited by C.
