This is the first volume of a ground-breaking new work by Jürgen Habermas on the history of philosophy. In this major new work, Habermas sets out the ideas that inform his systematic account of the history of Western philosophy as a genealogy of postmetaphysical thinking. His account goes far beyond a vindication of the enduring relevance of philosophical reflection founded on communicative reason as a source of orientation in the modern world. He contrasts this conception with prominent diagnoses of the supposed crisis of Enlightenment reason and culture that seeks redemption in the affirmation of traditional religious authority (Schmitt), the timeless validity of Greek metaphysics (Strauss), a numinous conception of nature (Löwith), and an occurrence of being that speaks to us from beyond the mists of pre-Socratic thought (Heidegger). Habermas situates Western philosophy in relation to traditions of thought founded in the major worldviews (Judaism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism) that continue to shape contemporary culture and civilization. At the same time, he lays the groundwork for his analysis in the later volumes of the constitutive role played by the discourse on faith and knowledge in the development of Western philosophy, which is the result of the unique symbiosis that Christianity entered into with Greek thought with the Christianization of the Roman Empire. Far from raising claims to exclusivity, completeness or closure, Habermas’s history of philosophy, published in English in three volumes, opens up new lines of research and reflection that will influence the humanities and social sciences for decades to come.

St. Theophan (in the world Vasily Dmitrievich Bystrov) was born on the very last day of 1873 (Old Style) near St. Petersburg, in the village of Podmoshye, Novgorod province, in a large family of a rural priest, whose entire wealth consisted of the piety of his parents. /// The country was seized by growing passions on the eve of great and irreversible eschatological events. Archbishop Theophan was deeply shocked by the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II from the throne. He clearly understood that the Tsar made this step not only under the pressure of his entourage - for the Tsar, that was the last step on the path of serving the people, which he promised to protect. In the mid-1920s, Vladyka Theophan received an offer from the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church (its Chairman in 1925 was Metropolitan Kliment, who had studied at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy with Vladyka) to move to Sofia. In the capital of Bulgaria, Vladyka was provided with two rooms in the Synodal Chamber. By the way, the relocation of Archbishop Theophan was facilitated by the Ruling Bishop of the Russian Churches in Bulgaria, Bishop Seraphim of Lubensk (Sobolev), who had been ordained [on October 1, 1920] by Archbishop Theophan as Vicar of the Poltava Diocese. Archbishop Theophan lived for five years in Bulgaria, in Sofia and Varna (he came to this city in the summer to restore his health). On April 16/29, 1931, he left hospitable Bulgaria for good and moved to France, to Paris, where he lived very secluded, since the time was hectic. After living for several years under almost constant surveillance and wanting to find a safe home, he, along with the Porokhov family, in whose Paris house he was hiding, moved to the small town of Moun. After the death of the Porokhov couple that followed soon, Vladyka accepted the offer of the former Poltava landowner Maria Vasilievna Fedchenko and moved to her in the town of Limeret, where she lived in her small estate. He settled there on September 1, 1939. Collection of all the writings by ArchBp. Theophan of Poltava : Theology, letters, words... The title only shows my admiration for his understanding and living.

Published in 1999. How can we reconcile assumptions about the lawfulness of the universe with provision for chance events? Do the ‘laws of nature’ indicate what absolutely must happen, or just what is most likely to happen? These are important questions for both science and theology, and are explored here in the first in-depth coverage of an important but neglected topic. Including perspectives from prestigious contributions, and published with the backing of the International Society for Science and Religion (ISSR), Creation: Law and Probability employs the disciplines of history and philosophy, as well as cosmology, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience in a fascinating dialogue of faith traditions.
