Abstract: In sermon 17,7 Augustine speaks of the fragility of human life and compares it to
the fragility of glass: "Aren't we in fact more fragile than if we were made of glass?
After all, even if glass is fragile, it lasts a long time if it is preserved, and you find
goblets that belonged to grandfathers and great-grandfathers, from which grandsons
and great-grandsons are drinking today. Such fragility, if protected, can reach a
great age. But as for us human beings, not only do we walk around in our fragility
among so many daily hazards, but even if sudden accidents do not happen, we are
still not capable of living a long time."2000-01-01T00:00:00ZThe language of universal salvation in Romanshttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/319012018-07-19T01:30:32Z2000-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The language of universal salvation in Romans
Abstract: One cannot begin to investigate the source of the Apostle Paul's theology without
taking into account his Iudaeo-Hellenistic milieu. What was the formative culture
that Paul imbibed? For instance, one dares not delve into the plan and mind of Paul
by studying only his Hebrew origins, for it would be wholly inexplicable to do so
without a consideration of his Hellenistic education. It is a question of degree: for
one must take care not to overemphasize the Greek element in his education, since
his writings reveal no cognizance of the higher literature.2000-01-01T00:00:00ZNietzsche, communication and the possibility of emancipationMangion, Claudehttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/318992021-02-08T15:19:04Z2000-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Nietzsche, communication and the possibility of emancipation
Authors: Mangion, Claude
Abstract: Communication has become an increasingly discussed concept in postmodernity.
While commentators agree on the value of the concept, there is a wide range of
views on the consequences of the concept: Vattimo sees communication as heralding
a new type of society based on transparency,l while Habermas sees communication
as a form of action with the potential for emancipation. In this paper, I will be
questioning the possibility of the latter: to do this I will first examine Nietzsche's
views on communication; then I will examine Nietzsche's use of communication
as a critique of consciousness; finally offer a critical analysis of Habermas' s project
of communicative action in the light of the Nietzschean critique of communication.2000-01-01T00:00:00Z
