Impossible Time

Past and Future in the Philosophy of Religion. Edited by Marius Timmann Mjaaland, Ulrik Houlind Rasmussen and Philipp Stoellger.

13 Beiträge (zwölf davon englisch) zeigen die Vielfalt, die Notwenigkeit, aber auch die Schwierigkeit einer Behandlung der Zeit aus religionsphilosophischer Perspektive. - It is impossible not to discuss the question of time, at least for the philosophy of religion. However, to discuss the question of time is equally impossible, as the various perspectives presented in this volume show. What is, then, time? How is the future formed by the past, and the past recurring within the future? How could time question the concept of God? How to reflect upon the impossible, yet unavoidable concept of time? The authors of the 13 contributions (one of them in German) to this volume discuss the unavoidability of time and its paradoxes, not the least with the purpose of giving time, as a recurring topic for the philosophy of religion. With contributions by Marius Timmann Mjaaland, Werner Stegmaier, Iben Damgaard, Jonna Bornemark, Øystein Brekke, Philipp Stoellger, Arne Grøn, Rebecca Comay, Carsten Pallesen, Claudia Welz, Jan-Olav Henriksen, Joseph Ballan and Ulrik Houlind Rasmussen.
