STILLBORN GOD, THE(ISBN=9781400079131) pdf snb 115盘 kindle 在线 下载 pmlz mobi

　　A brilliant account of religion's role in the political

thinking of the West, from the Enlightenment to the close of World

War II.

The wish to bring political life under God's authority is nothing

new, and it's clear that today religious passions are again driving

world politics, confounding expectations of a secular future. In

this major book, Mark Lilla reveals the sources of this age-old

quest-and its surprising role in shaping Western thought. Making us

look deeper into our beliefs about religion, politics, and the fate

of civilizations, Lilla reminds us of the modern West's unique

trajectory and how to remain on it. Illuminating and challenging,

The Stillborn God is a watershed in the history of

ideas.

所以我们得问自己：当人谈到上帝时，人其实在谈什么？

霍布斯的回答是：人在谈论自己，谈论他自身的经验。“由于只有在人类中才有宗教的迹象和产物，“他宣布，”没有理由怀疑，宗教的种子也只存在于人类之中。“这恐怕是整部《利维坦》中最重要的声明了。

这是一部关于观念的分析性历史，但很大程度上是由事件组成的，它起始于那些伟大的思想家，他们被一种弥赛亚激情所困扰，这种激情贬损了当时欧洲政治生活的品质，他们构想了一种现代政治神学的现代思想的另类选择。……以现代政治神学的名义拒绝那种智性传统，他们希望现代政治神学能复兴西方生活中的弥赛亚冲动。

……一战损失惨重，其战后时期目睹了一种弥赛亚政治神学在德国的复兴，这种复兴是严肃且完全出乎预料的。……令谜团更加复杂的是，这些思想家对于那种曾经促发现代自由民主的思想普遍怀有敌意，他们中间为20世纪最不得人心的纳粹德国和苏联的意识形态做辩护的并非是少数几个。

我们只不过是对自己相信的事物过于依恋了，仅仅因为相信它的是我们

We are no longer in the habit of connecting our political discourse to theological and cosmological questions, and we no longer recognize revelation as politically authoritative. This is a testament to our self-restraint. That we must reply on self-restraint should concern us.

Political theology is a way of thinking, a habit of mind, and therefore stands as a perennial alternative to the kind of thinking that inspired the modern institutions we now take for granted. Even if political theology is not powerful enough to dislodge those institutions, it is always capable of distorting our thinking about them.

这样的统治者和他们的神学辩护者在物理学方面有问题，这并不意味着他们在合法统治方面有问题
