Neka pitanja Abjuracije iz 1203. godine

Author(s): Lujo Margetić / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Abjuration of Bosnian krstjani in 1203 is a very complex document of the contemporary Bosnian clerical history with which they pledge their full compliance with the Roman Church and its teaching. Since this work seeks to analyze the meaning and the content of specific dispositions of the Abjuration, especially its invocation, the author closely examined all the other references that connect Pope Innocent III with Bosnian krstjani from the period between 1199 and 1203 - up to the time the Pope’s direct interfering with Bosnian religious affairs ceased. The analysis of the 1203 abjuration proves that the papal legate, John de Casamaris, was exceptionally considerate to Bosnian krstjani and that, in certain matters, he demonstrated utmost flexibility and willingness to compromise which, in turn, resulted in their complete acceptance of the authority of the Roman Church. The mentioned flexibility especially referred to the invocation that mentions only God-Father instead of both God-Son and the Holy Spirit – as opposed to other contemporary recognition of orthodox teachings (such as Valdes, Durand of Huesca and Bernard Prim) where the greatest emphasis is on the same divine character of all of the three members of the Holy Trinity. This invocation draws the author to conclude that some remnants of pseudo-Arian beliefs survived because the central Roman Catholic organization soon lost its influence in Bosnia. That is, among other things, the reason why the sign of flexibility in the Abjuration is the fact that the Roman Church is not mentioned as an apostolic Church. This is why the Abjuration greatly differs from the aforementioned western European orthodoxy acceptance principles. Other facts from the Abjuration include that the Bosnian krstjani were not organized in monastic communities and that Šanjek rightfully calls them “pseudo-monks”. Furthermore, the author compared the teachings of Paulicians, Iconoclasts, Bogomils and contemporary western European heterodoxies with corresponding teachings of Bosnian krstjani and came to conclude that all these heterodoxies have several significant teaching elements in common, and the belief that God is the initial creator of all things but temporarily left Satan in charge of the visible world. Digressing, the author analized the position of Bosnia during the rule of ban Borić (second half of the 12th century). According to the author, Bosnia was actually, independent at that time: the Ban acknowledged the not very pronounced senior rule of the Croatian-Hungarian king. Furthermore, in his other excursion, with a special emphasis on Bosnia, the author analized very complex relations between Pope Gregory IX and the Croatian-Hungarian king Bela IV, Coloman, the duke of “the entire Slavonia” and Bosnian ban Ninoslav in the first half of the 13th century and concluded that the king was very reserved in his political contacts with Coloman since he was an avid supporter of Bela IV as a chief commissioner for united and strong Hungary.

Predicatores, inquisitores, olim heretici: il confronto tra frati Predicatori e catari in Italia settentrionale dalle origini al 1254

Author(s): Marco Rainini / Language(s): Italian Publication Year: 0

Fin dai primi documenti emessi dalla curia papale a favore dell’Ordine dei Predicatori, e ancora prima, fin dalla prima predicazione di Domenico di Caleruega nel Narbonese, emerge con chiarezza come il confronto con gli eretici dualisti costituisca un punto fondante dell’attivita e dell’identita stessa dei frati Predicatori. Questo confronto, nei quasi trent’anni che passano tra la conferma della prima fondazione domenicana di Tolosa da parte di Onorio III e la fine del pontificato di Innocenzo IV, mostra un’evoluzione, che accompagna il decisivo sviluppo degli strumenti giuridici e ideologici attraverso i quali il papato giungera, poco oltre la meta del XIII secolo, ad un sostanziale controllo del fenomeno dell’eresia dualista. Il punto di osservazione scelto per verificare questo percorso e l’Italia settentrionale, territorio nel quale si riconoscono numerosi centri di primissimo piano dei dualisti catari, molti dei quali rifugiatisi nella pianura Padana all’indomani delle azioni militari contro l’Albigese, a cavallo del primo decennio del XIII secolo; d’altro canto, proprio l’Italia settentrionale – in particolare Bologna – rappresenta, insieme a Parigi, il polo principale dello sviluppo dell’Ordine dei Predicatori. Nel periodo considerato vengono messe in luce tre momenti principali: ad una prima fase nella quale l’accento e posto sull’attivita di predicazione, segue quella che vede i frati assumere l’incarico di inquisitores a sede apostolica deputati, nelle procedure in via di definizione di questo nuovo istituto antiereticale; infine, soprattutto all’indomani dell’uccisione di fra Pietro da Verona e della sua canonizzazione, il papato sembra proporre un nuovo modello di santita, nel quale una componente fondamentale e rappresentata dal tipo dell’eretico convertitosi ed entrato a far parte dell’Ordine dei Predicatori.

Dominikanci i bosansko-humski krstjani

Author(s): Slavko Slišković / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

The Dominicans meet the phenomenon of krstjani in Bosnia and Hum in two ways. According to their intellectual orientation, they try to familiarize themselves with krstjani on a theoretical level, however, due to the conventional beliefs that the Church of Bosnia is an integral part of different European heretic movements, the Dominican authors also impute on it the misconceptions that are the characteristic of heretics in the first half of the 18th century. However, confronted with the Bosnian reality they re-think this complex issue and provide answers that could serve as guidelines for concrete research. Soon after their founding, as early as the twenties of the 18th century, the first Dominicans arrive to Bosnia and encounter the krstjan movement of Bosnia and Hum. Even though their initial aim was to preach, they could not resist political malversations with the medieval Bosnian territory, so their efforts met only a lack of understanding and persecution. Nevertheless, they greatly contributed to consolidation of the Catholic religion as Bosnian bishops and through their monastic life. However, they expected that organizing their missions from a free region, such as Slavonija, would be less complicated and they unconsciously opened up a space for krstjan activities. Due to tragic lack of understanding between the two mendicant orders, the Dominicans withdrew from Bosnia, which thus became “franciscana”, however, the Turkish occupation did not allow them to leave a deeper mark on Bosnian history.

HELSINŠKE SVESKE №35: How Susceptible are the Youth to Islamic Extremism

Author(s): Vladimir Ilić,Srđan Barišić,Stefan Stefanović,Jovana Saračević,Izabela Kisić / Language(s): English

The crucial question here is: Are the Muslim youth in Sandžak imbued with religious extremism or not? Hardly any interethnic and inter-religious incident has been registered in this part of the Republic of Serbia. On the other hand, fighters from Sandžak are being involved in the Iraqi and Syrian wars. Depending on the answer to the question above, the authorities could take appropriate actions aiming at young people in Sandžak. Both domestic and international stakeholders – and there are many of them, including the non-governmental sector – could develop plans and take a variety of concrete steps depending on the answer to this very question.

DE NON EXISTENTIA DEI. CZYLI O NIEISTNIENIU BOGA

Author(s): Jerzy Kochan / Language(s): Polish

Na bohaterów książki wybrałem Kazimierza Łyszczyńskiego, Jana Mesliera, Giulia Cesare Vaniniego, Paula Holbacha, markiza de Sade’a, Immanuela Kanta, Johanna Gottlieba Fichtego, Ludwiga Feuerbacha, Fryderyka Engelsa, Karola Marksa, Zygmunta Freuda, a także Richarda Dawkinsa, Michela Onfraya i Michaela Schmidta-Salomona. Nie przez przypadek analizuję poglądy tych właśnie postaci. Książka nie jest przy tym kompletnym przeglądem ważnych myślicieli ateistycznych. Sądzę jednak, że życzliwy czytelnik doskonale zrozumie, dlaczego te osoby stały się bohaterami moich esejów i dlaczego uznałem je za niezwykłe, a także po prostu piękne i wspaniałe. Moje dociekania mają charakter teoretyczno-historyczny. Nie brak tu więc analiz, krytyk i rozważań. Chciałem, aby unicestwiana przez wieki ateistyczna tradycja jak najgłębiej przemówiła do współczesnego czytelnika, rozkochała go wręcz w sobie, i by znalazł on w niej także możliwe źródło współczesnych odpowiedzi na aktualne pytania.

Savremenici fašizma 1. - Percepcija fašizma u beogradskoj javnosti 1933-1941

Author(s): Olivera Milosavljević / Language(s): Serbian

Stanovišta o novim političkim pokretima i idejama, a to se posebno odnosi na fašizam, zastupana pre nego što su se ispoljile sve posledice njegovog delovanja, višestruko su značajna. Iako mogu danas da izgledaju anahrona, ona pružaju odgovor na pitanje da li je postojala kultura razumevanja i predviñanja, odnosno, da li je svest o značaju odreñenih zbivanja vodila ispravnom zaključivanju o mogućim posledicama ili je, prateći ideološke želje savremenika, vodila zaključcima manje ili više udaljenim od realnosti. Pokazuju i sa kakvim je predznanjima šira javnost dočekivala prelomna zbivanja, a mogu i da ukažu na razloge dijametralno suprotnih aktivizacija pojedinaca i grupa u njima. Isti istorijski kontekst je tridesetih godina stvarao dijametralno različite tekstove. Ono što u metodološkom smislu može biti ograničavajući faktor kod ocenjivanja vrednosti jednog izvora, sama činjenica da je tekst pisan sa namerom da odmah bude i dostupan javnosti, što znači da je sadržavao upravo ono što je u tom trenutku za autora bilo poželjno viñenje, u analizi koju zanimaju upravo stavovi savremenika ima najveću vrednost. Zato se razlika izmeñu tekstova nastalih u istom kontekstu ne može objasniti nepoznavanjem „činjenica“ već suprotnom vizurom iz koje su posmatrane, a koja je uslovljena različitim ideološkim načelima koja su autore vodila. U tom smislu, tekstovi savremenika o zbivanjima koja su u toku i sami se moraju posmatrati kao „delovi procesa“ 7 koji se analizira.

Demokratske kontradikcije multikulturalizma

Author(s): Jens-Martin Eriksen,Frederik Stjernfelt / Language(s): Serbian

U poslednjoj deceniji multikulturalizam je postao svakodnevni pojam na koji nailazite svugde: u svakodnevnoj raspravi, političkim debatama, sociološkoj i politikološkoj literaturi. On je nezaobilazan začin akademskog diskursa. Ipak, za taj pojam je uvek povezano nešto uznemirujuće neprecizno. Često ga koriste da bi se opisali uslovi koji već postoje u Zapadnoj Evropi, Sjedinjenim Državama ili drugde, zbog toga što tamo stvarno postoje različite kulturne grupacije i useljeničke zajednice. Pri tome se malo ili uopšte ne obrazlaže kako te različite kulture zaista koegzistiraju. U opticaju je još jedna primena pojma, pri čemu se indirektno upućuje na društveni razvoj koji neosporno ima da se dogodi u doglednoj budućnosti, i na čije se izazove moramo pripremiti. Multikulturalizam je proces. To je pre nešto što će se tek desiti nego ono što već jeste realnost. Oba ova načina upotrebe pojma imaju nešto zajedničko, a to je da se multikulturalizam u oba slučaja shvata kao nešto deskriptivno. On opisuje postojeće stanje ili razvoj prema kojem se društvo kreće u bliskoj budućnosti. Ali nijedno od ova dva značenja ne nudi zadovoljavajući, precizan opis društvene koegzistencije i njenih različitih iskustava. Kaže se samo da to nešto postoji, ili da će doći – ali ne i šta je to što jeste, ili što treba da dođe. Ne kaže se čak ni koje kulture konstituišu to pretpostavljeno mnoštvo, niti kako te kulture treba da koegzistiraju

Mistr Jan Hus v polemice a v žaláři

Author(s): Jana Nechutová,Jana Malá / Language(s): Czech

The new translation monograph offers several Czech translations of Latin treatises of Jan Hus. As a continuation of an earlier volume (Master Jan Hus in polemicising and lecturing, 2015) it brings Czech translations of two polemical writings of the Czech reformer as well as other minor treatises that Hus wrote while he was imprisoned in Constance. Two of these were already translated into early modern Czech and the book presents these older translations in a form of readers’ edition. Moreover, the volume contains a critical tract against polyphony in church music (where Hus’s authorship is doubtful) and translations of poems written in Hus’s honour in the 16th century.

Nezvítězí, kdo nebojuje. Alexandrijský patriarcha Šenut III. a spor o zbožštění člověka

Author(s): Jaroslav Franc / Language(s): Czech

The Church is essentially both human and divine. It is a sign of hope in which mysteries of God are revealed within the reality of human cultures. Among the main characteristics of Coptic Christianity is a tendency to the profound spirituality; the spirituality between the culture of city and the culture of desert. Throughout history the Egyptian Christian tradition has adopted Coptic, Greek and Arabic culture. From the nineteenth century onwards, also the cultural influences of modern Europe has been intensified. It brought to Egypt new theological impulses. The doctrine of the deification of man was in the second half of the twentieth century promoted in Egypt by Matthew the Poor and his disciples. And soon it became the subject of a theological dispute. It is significant for the time of cultural exchange that among the main impulses there was a compilation of texts on prayer written in English by Lazarus Moore. It actually determined the framework of his theological thinking. Among his opponents there was his former pupil and further Alexandrian patriarch Pope Shenouda III. The presented work might be described as a follow up of the already published monograph on Matthew the Poor. It presents a theological analysis of the work of the Alexandrian Patriarch Shenouda III with the focus on his critique of the doctrine of the deification of man. The analysis is a search for the causes of the dispute over the doctrine of the deification of man and it also presents the results within the context of newly emerging cultural paradigms of Coptic Christianity.

Kada se sretnu feminizam i religija

Author(s): / Language(s): Bosnian

Ideja o zborniku Kada se sretnu feminizam i religija nastala je nakon ciklusa seminara održanih u nekoliko bosanskohercegovačkih gradova na temu Etos rodne ravnopravnosti. Partnerski su ih organizirali IMIC Zajedno Sarajevo, TPO Fondacija iz Sarajeva i Omladinski forum iz Mostara, uz podršku Ekumenske ženske inicijative iz Omiša. Seminare su vodili doc. dr. Zilka Spahić Šiljak, dr. Drago Bojić i mr. sci. Božana Katava. Cilj je bio, dekonstrukcijom religijskih narativa o antropologiji čovjeka, pokazati mogućim reduciranje stereotipnih shvatanja uloge žene i muškarca u porodici i društvu, te pokazati da sveti tekstovi nude okvir i za egalitarna čitanja rodnih odnosa. Učesnici/e seminara su bili/e nastavnici/e, studenti/ce i aktivisti/ce iz Tuzle, Sarajeva i Mostara. Inspirirani teorijskim promišljanjima, ali i praktičnim refleksijama rodnih pitanja u bh. društvu, odlučili su napisati kraće tekstove za ovaj zbornik i tako doprinijeti raspravama o rodnoj ravnopravnosti. Tekstovi su produkt interpretiranja vlastitih iskustava, promišljanja, ideja, viđenja i stavova kroz različite i zasebno tematizirane narative koji predstavljaju dijelove mozaika rodne politike u našem društvu.

(Post)kolonialne wytwarzanie Jamajki

Author(s): Łukasz Kaczmarek / Language(s): Polish

The book by anthropologist Lukasz Kaczmarek includes reflections from his multi-site ethnographic research on the transformations of a post-colonial society in a state so vital to understanding the modern world. Jamaican society has come a long way from a numerically dominant servile population of enslaved and disenfranchised people subordinated to colonial rule through to citizens of a country doomed to peripheralization within the global economy. Kaczmarek presents the ethno-historical aspects of the formation of the racist-classist domination of a group of Europeans over the majority shaped by the economic use of people, the exploitation and preservation of their subordinate status and the exploitation of global inequalities. Using Jamaican urban spaces and tourism as an example, he presents the consequences of colonial neglect of the island's social and economic development, and maintaining the majority of its inhabitants in the position of ‘Others’, which has resulted in their rejecting an important part of the "colonial legacy" and their aspirations to create their own identity. The author devotes the final chapters to discussing the practical consequences of the continuation of ethno-racial and class statuses rooted in colonial and nationalist hierarchies, which do not fit the description of societies in the modern world, but are cynically resuscitated and utilized in order to legitimize the exploitation and discrimination of arbitrarily selected groups.

Glasovi LGBTIQ+ vjernica i vjernika - Poziv na dijalog vjerskih zajednica i LGBTIQ+ zajednice

Author(s): / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian

U srcu Balkana, unutar Bosne i Hercegovine, susretanje vjere, organizovane religije i seksualnosti odavno je tema prekrivena tišinom i osuđivanjem. To je mjesto gdje se duboko ukorijenjena tradicija i vjera susreću sa sve promjenjivijim razumijevanjem ljudskih prava, posebno onih LGBTIQ+ osoba. Ovaj zbornik tekstova, kolekcija glasova različitih autorica i autora, vodi čitateljstvo na putovanje kako bi se otkrile skrivene priče i prihvatila prisutnost LGBTIQ+ vjernika/ca u društvima Zapadnog Balkana, a sjene stigme bacile daleko, kao i kako bi se istražili načini na koje unutar organiziranih religijskih zajednica možemo kreirati prostore prihvatanja, razumijevanja i sigurnosti za LGBTIQ+ zajednicu i vjernike/ce unutar nje. Da bismo se pozabavili ovom tišinom, nužno je angažirati se u otvorenom dijalogu, slobodnom od predrasuda i unaprijed oblikovanih mišljenja i dogmi. Naša kolekcija tekstova služi kao katalizator za ovaj dijalog, osvjetljujući iskustva, borbe i nade LGBTIQ+ osoba koje zadržavaju svoju vjeru i duhovnost u bosanskohercegovačkom kontekstu. Ona baca svjetlo na izazove s kojima se suočavaju, kako unutar vjerskih zajednica tako i u širem društvu. Danas svjedočimo razlikama između stavova vjerskih zajednica i ljudskih prava LGBTIQ+ osoba. Štaviše, unutar samih vjerskih zajednica postoje proturječja i kolebanja oko ovih pitanja, pa i u širem kontekstu seksualnosti, koja odzvanjaju i u raznolikosti viđenja povezanosti i odnosa religije, vjerovanja, seksualnosti i roda unutar same LGBTIQ+ zajednice. Utjecaj vjerskih institucija u oblikovanju diskursa i javnog mnijenja u Bosni i Hercegovini i regiji Zapadnog Balkana je neosporan, što suočavanje s postojećim predrasudama i zabludama čini još važnijim. Raznoliki glasovi zastupljeni u ovom zborniku udružuju se kako bi pozvali na otvoren, empatičan i inkluzivan razgovor o postojanju i prihvaćanju LGBTIQ+ vjernika/ca. Ovaj zbornik nije samo kolekcija tekstova; on je poziv na akciju. Poziva čitateljstvo da istraži križišta vjere, ljubavi i identiteta te potiče razumijevanje i suosjećanje kako bismo zajedno radili na destigmatizaciji iskustava LGBTIQ+ vjernica/ka u Bosni i Hercegovini i šire. Naša iskrena želja je da ovaj zbornik posluži kao temelj promjene, te da otvori vrata prema inkluzivnijem i suosjećajnijem društvu na Balkanu i šire. Pozivamo vas da krenete na ovo putovanje s nama, da prihvatite bogatstvo različitih iskustava i perspektiva koje čine naše društvo, te da zajedno radimo na stvaranju pravednije i inkluzivnije budućnosti.

Felsefe ve Din Bilimleri Rehberi

Author(s): / Language(s): Turkish

Philosophy and Religious Studies, one of the three main departments within the Islamic Sciences and Theology faculties, investigates the phenomenon of religion through the lens of humanities disciplines such as history, sociology, logic, psychology, philosophy, and education. Situated at the intersection of theology and the humanities, the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies plays a significant role in the internationalization of theology education. Concurrently, these disciplines serve as intermediaries in contextualizing Islamic Sciences within contemporary understanding. The Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies generates data on contentious contemporary issues such as artificial intelligence, transhumanism, migration, and conflict resolution, thereby elucidating the intellectual background of these issues and providing theoretical insights through empirical research. Within this framework, the study addresses the incorporation of courses offered by the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, presenting them aligned with the project's objectives. The study aims to introduce the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, elucidating its content, functions, and outcomes, to foster critical thinking and analytical skills among students through philosophical education, facilitating a deeper comprehension of diverse aspects of religion, and delineating the disparities and connections between philosophy of religion and religious sciences. Furthermore, the study seeks to enable students to assess the logical and philosophical dimensions of various religions and belief systems, while also contributing to theological education by highlighting the unique fields of study and values inherent in Philosophy and Religious Studies. Ultimately, the study endeavors to facilitate the international integration of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies and its adaptation to contemporary needs within theological education. The research is predicated on the premise that Philosophy and Religious Studies should to be more inadequately introduced to students, particularly at the secondary school level, despite their increasing relevance in light of evolving global agendas. As a result of the analyses conducted, insights have been gleaned regarding the content, functioning, outcomes, fields of study, and methodologies of departmental courses. Consequently, this book aims to introduce the field of Philosophy and Religious Studies to students from high school to graduate levels, guiding new researchers, and offering ideas and direction to advisors and students regarding potential areas of study. Covering a broad research area alongside its departments, this book will guide prospective theology students, current departmental students, and those seeking graduate education within this discipline. In alignment with the stated objectives, the study will conclude by compiling chapters contributed by lecturers from diverse disciplines. Employing a quantitative research method and documentation technique, the study has gathered data from articles, books, field research, and lecturers’ experiencies. Detailed accounts of sub-units of Philosophy and Religious Studies, such as the History of Religions, Sociology of Religion, Psychology of Religion, Philosophy of Religion, Religious Education, Islamic Philosophy, Logic, and History of Philosophy, are provided, covering aspects such as history, methodologies, research topics, notable figures, fundamental resources, graduate education, academic journals, interdepartmental relations, and international collaborations. Each completed chapter has been peer-reviewed by relevant department lecturers using blind refereeing principles, with necessary corrections implemented by the authors. The book encompasses eight departments, delving beyond superficial analysis to address foundational issues within each department. Additionally, each chapter includes recommended readings and films. This study asserts itself as a potential textbook for introducing Philosophy and Religious Studies as an elective course in Imam Hatip high schools. It can also serve as an elective textbook for first-year undergraduate programs.
