Bibliographies for Biblical Research (Old Testament) (Vol 5)

The thesis of this work is that Augustine's doctrine of eternal punishment is not the result of his employment of the Platonic concept of the immortal and divine soul but the product of his theological conviction, based on sound exegetical conclusions, that the Bible clearly teaches the eternity of hell. The doctrine of hell in Augustine's theology is not merely part of his eschatology, but rather reflects his theology of God, salvation, and the Church as well. Augustine was a biblical exegete of the Church. Declaring the Bible to be the final authority in the matter of truth, he made certain that he could not follow the arguments of his predecessors who did not support the Bible. The authority of the Bible prohibited the theologians of the Church from extending the mercy of God to the salvation of the Devil and his demons because in Scripture, God revealed eternal punishment for the Devil with his angels and sinners. Any agreement of Augustine with Platonism was not due primarily to his admiration for Platonic philosophers but to the fact that the pagan philosophy can teach some of the same points that the Bible teaches.

This book contains the vast majority of Georges Auric's writings on music that appeared in published newspapers,literary journals, and reviews. The writings are prefaced by an extensive introductory essay that provides the most detailed biographical information yet available on Auric, discusses Auric's relation to the sources in which his writings appeared, and places Auric in the continuum of French composer/critics of the twentieth century. It is hoped that this extensive collection of his writings will help restore Auric to the important position in French musical circles that he earned.

This book examines the background of our modern concept of marginality by focusing on Diderot's materialist philosophy and his search for the origins of genius, and locating it within the French Enlightenment quest for truth. Diderot's treatment of marginality can be separated into three main categories: 'The forcibly marginalized' (La marginalite subie). The character of Suzanne Simonin of La Religieuse is an example of forcible marginalization from a given milieu; 'Self-imposed marginalization' (La marginalite choisi). Rameau's nephew, an example of self-imposed marginality, alienates himself from others as well as others from himself. Le Neveu de Rameau clearly illustrates Diderot's special interest in the marginality of unusual or bizarre types; and, the final category includes those who have been marginalized due to biological defects or more precisely, those who have been deemed separate by 'biological-predeterminism'. La marginalite biologique: The Mother Superior of Arpajon is a lesbian who is portrayed as unbalanced and her physical appearance separates her from the norm. With her character depiction, Diderot offers an example of biologically or physically imposed marginalization and its psycho-social consequences. Diderot demonstrates the links between the marginalized genius and the pursuit of truth. In the "Interpretation de la nature", Diderot combines art and science in the quest for truth. In "Le Reve de D'Alembert" Bizarre and decousu are key terms used in the elaboration of Diderot's search for ultimate verity. The definition of genius is a central problematic for Diderot. The genius is always marginal. As seen through Diderot's work, a genius is someone capable of seeing through the hidden unity of a given process and then communicating that unity in a creative and cogent manner. "Enlightened insanity" is a state of being for the marginalized genius. The genius in pursuit of truth is always unraveling, or in a state of 'unravelment'. It is none other than the genius who comes closest to truth while in the process of 'unravelment.'

This book provides an English translation of philosopher Heimo Hofmeister s book, Der Wille zum Krieg, oder die Ohnmacht der Politik, which traces the connection between war and the individual or group awareness of differences among others which leads to inevitable and serious disagreement. Analyzing the relations of strength, force and power on the one hand and state, politics and war on the other, Hofmeister shows that while conflict is inevitable, war is not. Ironically, the same diversity that exists among humanity and the conflicts that arise from the awareness of such are just as much the foundation of harmony, friendship and love as they are that of war and hate.
