Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]this difference of opinion must caution us but does not contest the main assumption of Piette, namely that the development of humanity depends on what he calls the minor mode. God happens in their exchanges, at Mass, at funerals or weddings, meetings or elsewhere, without ever being determined. [...]concerning any particular tenet of faith, such as resurrection, the believer can react with incomprehension, doubt tinged with hope, irony, rejection, appeal to theological knowledge, denial Believing is a mixture of belief and doubt. By definition, a theory is generalizing, abstract and selective, retaining which may fall into its net among the profusion of reality only the facts. [...]how to develop a theory of insignificant detail? Would it not be wiser to look for points of support from ethnopsychiatry, Ricurs theory of metaphor or phenomenological anthropology of Levy-Bruhl (which deserves to be rediscovered precisely on account of this point (Deprez 2010: 6193 and 121152))? [...]is is not necessary for existential anthropology to observe the same critical vigilance practiced vis--vis sociology also towards science of evolution?
