Mapping Spirituality in the Art of Sook Jin Jo
Authors: Hyun Soojung 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Korean-born artist Sook Jin Jo has produced a multidisciplinary array of sculptural installations for over three decades. Her primary materials consist of discarded wooden furniture, abandoned industrial materials, and trees from the natural environment. The assemblages, installations, and public art projects from these materials offer a renewed perspective on art. Sook Jin Jo broadens her philosophical interpretation of art by transforming crude objects into significant art. Her materials are taken from various resources not only to create original visual forms, but also to convey profound meaning in our everyday lives. In the context of “Being is born of Non-Being,” the artist’s spiritual and philosophical views are deeply connected to Taoism, which is coherent with Zen Buddhism. Meditation Space (2000) invites people to contemplate nature in a manner that resonates as a sacred space. Jo’s recent distinguished works have comprehensively synthesized the pieces she has done so far. In Art House (Art + Architecture) and Art House Chapel II (Art + Architecture), two nondenominational chapels extend beyond institutional religions. Her work profoundly touches the meaning of spirituality and harmony that embraces the history of the sites she utilizes within the art context. Jo’s site-specific works correspond to the healing of human beings and society rather than being aligned with traditional religious beliefs.
The Politics of Time
Authors: Marinaccio Julia 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Over the past twenty years, historians and political scientists have explored extensively how structures, institutions, coalitions and recently also information have affected China’s environmental governance. Much less is known about how time consciousness has informed political action. This paper draws on theories of historical times to analyse key party and government documents on forest management published between 1949 and 2021. Two research questions are tackled. How has time been negotiated in programmatic ideas of forest development? How has time-consciousness connected to forest policymaking in different historical periods? The findings demonstrate that environmental policies in China were not only informed by ideological struggles over programmatic ideas and how (i.e., by which governance mode and instruments) to best manage natural resources. The policies were also affected by ideological struggles over temporalities and time horizons. The findings draw attention to an under-researched factor in political processes in China and across societies and political systems.
Bhāviveka and Avalokitavrata on the Two So-Called Non-cause Theories (ahetuvāda) of the Lokāyatikas
Authors: Del Toso Krishna 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The article discusses Bhāviveka’s Prajñāpradīpavṛtti and Avalokitavrata’s Prajñāpradīpaṭīkā commentaries on the “not without a cause” (nāpy ahetutaḥ) alternative of Nāgārjuna’s Mūlamadhyamakakārikā 1.1ab, from which it emerges that at least two distinct theories of causality can be attributed to the Lokāyata school. The first one is a physicalist theory that confines all causal relations within the sphere of material elements and is assimilated to accidentalism. The second one is a naturalist theory that attributes causal power to inner nature (svabhāva). The paper discusses the theoretical differences between these two approaches, considers Bhāviveka’s and Avalokitavrata’s counter-arguments and concludes that some of the conjectures that modern scholars have put forward on the relation between svabhāvavāda, accidentalism and Lokāyata should be revised.
Two Approaches by Dutch Missionaries to Communicating the Gospel in Seventeenth-Century Taiwan
Authors: Joby Christopher 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Between 1624 and 1662, the Dutch East India Company operated a trading post in Taiwan. It employed missionaries who attempted to convert indigenous Formosans to Reformed Christianity by compiling texts in the Formosan language, Siraya. This article analyzes texts compiled in this language to establish how the Dutch missionaries used them to communicate the Gospel. This analysis shows that they adopted two distinct approaches to compiling texts in Siraya. Early missionaries, above all Robertus Junius, modified biblical texts such as the Ten Commandments and Lord’s Prayer, changing words and phrases to “speak to” the Formosan culture. His approach constituted a form of accommodation and was subsequently criticized by missionary colleagues in Taiwan. Later missionaries translated the biblical texts more literally. Nevertheless, they used a Formulary as a discursive textual space in which to explain and, to some extent, make the text relevant to the Formosans.
The Gospel as a Life to Live: Tokunboh Adeyemo and the Evangelical Debate on Mission
Authors: van Veelen Wouter Theodoor (W.T.) 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article analyzes the theological legacy of Tokunboh Adeyemo, a leading voice in African evangelical circles. In academic literature on African Christianity, African evangelical theologians are often accused of endorsing a biblicist or Westernized form of theology that fails to deeply engage with African realities. This study retraces Adeyemo’s contribution to the evangelical debates on mission after the International Congress on World Evangelization held in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1974. It will be argued that, while Adeyemo undoubtedly was influenced by North American dualism, he increasingly distanced himself from Western theological concepts, advocating for a broad, holistic, contextual, and transformational understanding of mission. Thus, this study shows that categories commonly used to describe African evangelicalism, such as “biblicist,” “conservative,” “dogmatic,” and so on, do not do justice to the complexity, heterogeneity, and contextuality of African evangelicalism.
Pneumatic Precognition
Authors: Crace Benjamin D. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In speculative and constructivist modes, this study seeks to establish pneumatic precognition as an important theological topos among scholars concerned with the action of the Spirit. It follows an abductive approach that first offers a ‘thick description’ of pneumatic precognition based on the biblical text and personal experience in pentecostal ‘testimony’ mode. Based on the thick description, it then moves beyond the naïve realism of ‘God knows the future; God told me’, by drawing out some of the cosmological implications of precognition, offering potential models and dialogue partners. Lastly, moving back to the biblical text, it unpacks the theological implications of retrocausality through an eschatological reading of Jesus’ restoration of Peter in Jn 21.15-17, suggesting that individual experiences of pneumatic precognition participate in the sacramental cosmic drama.
Lisa M. Bowens, African American Readings of Paul: Reception, Resistance, & Transformation
Authors: Robinson Aaron J. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Reception history is gaining popularity as an interpretive approach to Scripture. The dearth of extant primary sources in biblical interpretation from the African American community before the Civil Rights Era can present challenges for hearing black voices in reception history. In her remarkable monograph, Lisa Bowens examines sermons, letters, public addresses, and essays from African Americans, as early as the eighteenth century, surveying their engagement and interpretation of Pauline texts and Paul as a biblical figure. Her work elevates the voices of African Americans, while presenting an exceptional model of reception history at work. Her research demonstrates early African Americans using Scripture, particularly the letters and life of Paul, for rebuttal and reform of social injustices.
Against the Anglican ‘Conscience’: The Analytical Tool from Churches and Moral Discernment Applied to the Discussions About Homosexuality at the Lambeth Conferences 1978–2022
Authors: Jensen Alexander S. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In the recently published document Churches and Moral Discernment the Faith and Order Commission of the wcc offers an analytical tool for moral discernment processes and introduces the concept of the ‘conscience’ of the Church. Applying this tool to the moral discernment processes in the Anglican Communion leading up to the 1998 Lambeth Conference and its Resolution I.10 ‘Human Sexuality’ indicates that the moral discernment processes did not reflect the Anglican ‘conscience’, i.e. the inherited understanding of moral norms and authority. This led to the Resolution being divisive rather than uniting. The success of the 2022 Lambeth Conference in mending these division needs to be followed up by the commencement of a renewed discernment process. But it is also possible that the Anglican ‘conscience’ has changed in parts of the Communion, which would pose new challenges for the instruments of communion.
Pre-Narrativist Philosophy of History
Authors: Ahlskog Jonas 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Prior to the narrativist turn in the 1970s, philosophy of history focused on action and agency. Seminal pre-narrativist philosophers of history – from Collingwood and Oakeshott to Dilthey and Gadamer – argued that agent-centred action explanation constitutes an irreducible element of historical research. This paper re-examines the agent-centred perspective as one of the key insights of pre-narrativist philosophy of history. This insight has not only been neglected in philosophy of history after the narrativist turn but also fundamentally misunderstood. The paper advances two connected arguments: (i) that the agent-centred perspective is internal to the very idea of historical knowledge, and (ii) that the agent-centred perspective is epistemically prior to retrospective (re)description, which has been the focus of narrativist philosophy of history. In conclusion, the paper contends that the agent-centred and the retrospective perspective constitute two integral and irreducible modes of thought that belong to history.
Thinking about Past Minds: Cognitive Science as Philosophy of Historiography
Authors: Bricker Adam Michael 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This paper outlines the case for a future research program that uses the tools of experimental cognitive science to investigate questions that traditionally fall under the remit of the philosophy of historiography. The central idea is this – the epistemic profile of historians’ representations of the past is largely an empirical matter, determined in no small part by the cognitive processes that produce these representations. However, as the philosophy of historiography is not presently equipped to investigate such cognitive questions, legitimate concerns about evidential quality go largely overlooked. The case of mental state representation provides an excellent illustration of this. Representations of past mental states – the thoughts and fears and knowledge and desires of past agents – play much the same evidential role in historiography as in everyday life, serving in the causal explanation of agents’ behaviors and supporting normative evaluation of those behaviors. However, we have good reason to suspect that the theory of mind processes that support these representations may be more susceptible to error when deployed in the context of historiography than under everyday conditions. This raises worries about the quality of evidence that theory of mind can provide historiography, worries which require experimental cognitive science to properly address.
Narratives, Events & Monotremes: The Philosophy of History in Practice
Authors: Currie Adrian 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Significant work in the philosophy of history has focused on the writing of historiographical narratives, isolated from the rest of what historians do. Taking my cue from the philosophy of science in practice, I suggest that understanding historical narratives as embedded within historical practice more generally is fruitful. I illustrate this by bringing a particular instance of historical practice, Natalie Lawrence’s explanation of the sad fate of Winston the platypus, into dialogue with some of Louis Mink’s arguments in favour of anti-realism about historical events. Attending to how historians seek out and utilize archival resources puts serious pressure on these arguments, motivates realist positions, and re-focuses the philosophy of history towards making sense of historiography as a part of the diversity of historians’ interests.
On Compatibility between Presentism and Anti-Presentism in History of Science
Authors: Pulkkinen Karoliina 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Presentism – the influence of the present on historians’ work – has been met with resistance among historians of science; many hold that excessive reference to the present can compromise the aim of understanding past practices in their own terms. In response to this concern, a number of authors have argued that not only is such influence inevitable, it can also be legitimate and helpful. In probing into the presentist and anti-presentist positions in histories of science, I argue here that there is a much larger degree of compatibility between the two positions than has been previously acknowledged. Building on recent work on legitimate forms of presentism, I argue that at least three types of presentism – empirical presentism, motivational presentism, critical presentism – display compatibility with anti-presentism, insofar as certain pitfalls of presentism are kept in mind.
Geschichte von ihrem Ende her denken
Authors: Berger Andreas 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In Pamphilus Gengenbach’s famous carnival play Der Nollhart (1517), ten characters discuss their future with four prophets: Nollhart, Methodius, Birgitta, and Sibylla. The play, its protagonists, and especially its prognostic and apocalyptic motifs have been the subject of scholarly interest for decades, but the Jew who enters the stage at the end of the play has been largely absent from research. This article focuses on this gap and argues that Gengenbach not only used the Jew to reproduce anti-Jewish sentiments and stereotypes, but also introduced him as a fifth prophet in the play. If Christians failed to recognize the signs of the end of days and act accordingly, the Jewish past and present – as depicted by Gengenbach’s Jew – would become a Christian future filled with captivity, death, loss, and abandonment. Accordingly, Der Nollhart is a remarkable example of how Gengenbach established the present and future through a Jewish past.
Aus der Hand Gott(es) lesen
Authors: Fischer Conrad 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Andreas Gryphius is known as a poet and scholar, but less as a chiromancer. His biographers, however, identify him as such. This article wants to show, on the basis of wide-ranging textual evidence, that Gryphius has a differentiated relationship to chiromancy and knows how to combine appreciation and criticism in the ironic play of his epigrams, in accordance with the early modern scholarly dispute about chiromancy.
Schauplätze des Künftigen
Authors: Drews Luisa , Hohlweck Patrick , Willer Stefan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The subject of this article are spatiotemporal manifestations of the future as they are formed in various genres of German-language Baroque literature. Using three examples – pastoral (Martin Opitz), religious poetry and hymns (Anna Ovena Hoyers), as well as Trauerspiel (Andreas Gryphius) – the authors examine how imminent, expected, planned, anticipated, or feared states are explored in 17th-century works, i.e., how they are composed processually and medially, and which spaces and places they occupy in each genre.
Zukunftsermittlung im Barockdrama
Authors: Worms Katharina 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article deals with knowledge of the future in German drama of the 17th century. Within eight case studies the author focusses on scenes of predictions from Jacob Bidermanns Cenodoxus (1602, dt. 1635) to Christian Weises Marschall von Biron (1687). Open models of the future exist side by side with a deterministic understanding of time. However, also contemporary events play a role in the dramas, but they are not emphasized as present.
Bola de Nieve
Authors: García Yero Cary Aileen 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article explores the antiracist strategies of Bola de Nieve, one of Cuba’s most renowned yet understudied Afrodescendant musicians of the 1930s Afrocubanista movement, to better understand the power and limitations of music as a platform to subvert racist structures. The article reinterprets the possibilities Afrocubanismo enabled for Afrodescendant artists, arguing that it allowed for greater antiracist oppositionality than previously thought. Moreover, the work challenges previous assumptions of Bola de Nieve as an Uncle Tom. It unveils the ways in which Bola de Nieve’s music was constitutive of Cuban society’s racial dynamics. His performances worked as key sites where meanings of music, race, and national imaginaries articulated in powerful ways, expanding the roles and spaces of Afrodescendant performance. Through music, the artist resisted society’s efforts to reduce him into confined social categories of race and nation.
The Roles of Religious Organizations in the Decline of the Anti-mining Movement in Banyuwangi, East Java
Authors: Alkatiri Farid Abud , Kiwang Amir Syarifudin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Although the Banyuwangi anti-mining movement clearly has the capacity to grow, this article argues that the movement’s manoeuvres against PT. BSI seem to have become weaker since 2017. The article seeks to explain how the interests of the internal groups within this local social movement have weakened its position and how religious-nationalist organizations, that is, the NU and its affiliates, have manoeuvred to defend the state and the corporation indirectly. The data have been qualitatively collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD s), and relevant documentary sources. By using the Gramscian concept of hegemony, this article shows that the decline of the anti-mining movement is related to the agenda-setting of individuals and subgroups in the movement, as well as the ability of religious-nationalist pro-mining groups, such as the NU and its affiliates, to use their influence, legitimacy, and ideological rhetoric to this end, combined with some social and political characteristics of East Javanese society.
Human Rights and Corruption in Settling the Accounts of the Past
Authors: Suh Jiwon 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Human rights abuses and corruption during authoritarian rule are rooted in the arbitrary and coercive use of power. This study examines how two post-authoritarian accountability issues intersected in the Philippines, South Korea, and Indonesia. In the Philippines and South Korea, human rights abuses and corruption were viewed as overlapping or related legacies of authoritarian rule. The activities to eliminate corruption worked as catalysts for milestones of transitional justice, and violations of socio-economic rights were acknowledged. In Indonesia, by contrast, corruption and human rights abuses were treated as special crimes that occur continually across time. Specialized agencies helped Indonesia deal with human rights abuses and corruption during the authoritarian era. This study shows that anti-corruption activities can work as a catalyst for the progress of transitional justice for human rights abuses. It also highlights that post-authoritarian practices to deal with economic violence existed in Asia before transitional justice took shape as a field.
Human Dignity and Renunciation of Force in Islamic and Indian Education: A Perspective of the Intercultural Human Rights Education
Authors: Sukopp Thomas 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Migration and diversity are important factors in education of teachers around the globe. From an intercultural perspective, we shall analyse how metaphysical and religious assumptions overlap and enable teachers to motivate pupils from different religious-cultural backgrounds to understand in greater detail the facets of (minimal) universalism, relativism and other concepts that obtain in more or less open societies. We argue for a concept of Intercultural Human Rights Education that uses different texts in philosophy classes, includes controversial positions from different cultures, and is methodologically versatile. According to this concept, we think that a) human dignity (as a typically Western concept) and human rights and b) one tradition of interpreting the Qur’an (renunciation of force and the Indian concept of ahimsā (nonviolence)), can motivate teachers to discuss the efforts and also the limits of an overlapping consensus about the intercultural perspective. Finally, we provide the outlines of a teaching unit plan in accordance with our theoretical insights.
Le théâtre de Jean-Luc Lagarce : Le triomphe littéraire de la communication « en faillite »
Authors: Kornienko Alina 
Published: October 2023

Résumé
Le théâtre contemporain voit se détacher progressivement la représentation théâtrale du texte dramatique et se tourner vers les multiples incarnations d’un « théâtre du langage ». Jean-Luc Lagarce est un des meilleurs représentants de ce genre de théâtre en France à la fin du XXème siècle. Le dialogue théâtral – l’ensemble des répliques qu’échangent les personnages – tend à être de plus en plus brouillé, rompu, allant jusqu’à franchir les frontières qui séparent traditionnellement d’autres formes discursives, comme le monologue ou la didascalie. Le dialogue présent au sein de la dramaturgie de Lagarce est habité par son négatif, par une sorte de démon qui provoque la perte de l’évidence du langage et fait naître une étrangeté forte dans les mots simples de tous les jours. Il questionne ainsi la capacité communicative du langage comme un outil humain inné et met en évidence l’échec des échanges langagiers entre les hommes mettant ainsi au jour l’inconnu du langage et l’inconnu de la société. Nous proposons ainsi que l’échec communicatif est un concept constructif de la dramaturgie française contemporaine et surtout de la création dramatique de Jean-Luc Lagarce qui englobe et fait naître l’intrigue, qui dirige l’action décentralisée vers l’acte de parole et qui crée véritablement les personnages dont un habitat naturel est la parole « en faillite », en question.
Gramsci’s “Modern Prince” and the Contingencies of Political Struggle
Authors: Roio Marcos Del , Neres Geraldo Magella 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Gramscian proposition of the “modern Prince”, like most of the concepts elaborated by Gramsci in the Prison Notebooks, has always been open to interpretative controversy. These exegetical controversies stem from two main factors: the fragmentary nature of the prison writings and the method of work employed by Gramsci. The aim of this article is to apply the methodological perspective of “social contextualism” to the understanding of the Gramscian concept of the modern Prince. There is a threefold advantage in applying this methodology to the reading of Gramsci’s political theory: 1) it allows one to grasp the unitarity between theory and practice in Gramscian political elaboration, linking the militant Gramsci with the theoretical Gramsci (the pre-prison and prison writings); 2) it allows one to identify how the theory of the party present in the “Lyon Theses” was maintained and further developed in the Prison Notebooks; and, consequently, iii) it further allows one to identify the proposition of the modern Prince as the most advanced development of a theory of the party that had already been conceived by Gramsci in the period before his imprisonment.
