As we shall see, for Lacoste, every phenomenon has the same right to be wel¬comed and described as any other: God does not differ from things in the world—both Deus and res can be semper maior. It will then discuss how, with reference to liturgy, the phenom¬enology of silence could relate to divine transcendence, ethics, and intersubjectivity. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1842/5829 Title: ‘A Weariness of the Flesh’: Towards a Theology of Boredom and Fatigue Authors: Wardley, Kenneth Jason Abstract: This essay follows two impulses: Jean-Yves Lacoste’s suggestion that philosophy and theology should speak about boredom and about fatigue, just as they do about anguish or joy, and the Swiss theologian Karl Barth’s contention that theological anthropology and philosophy of religion are incoherent without them. Above all, it will try and offer a tentative answer to the question as to what it means to pray when one is tired or bored. To this end, I shall begin by examining some of the traditional theological and philosophical readings of fatigue and boredom (beginning with Jewish and Christian scripture), before turning specifically to Martin Heidegger and Giorgio Agamben, and finally to recent phenomenological accounts, drawing from them some suggestions for a possible theology of boredom and fatigue. Description: The aim of this volume is to break new ground in philosophical thinking on the concept of life. It captures a moment in which such thinking is regaining its force and attraction for scholars – and the relevance of thought to social, cultural, political and religious dilemmas about how and why to live. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1842/4370 Title: The Sentiments of the Christian in pondering the birth of Christ Authors: Henderson, Frances Abstract: Original title - Die Empfindungen des Christen beim Nachdenken über die Geburt Christi.
