Sinossi
"Questo libro di Rudolf Otto" scrive lo storico del cristianesimo Ernesto Buonaiuti (1881-1946), a cui si deve questa traduzione "è di una potente ricchezza di contenuto. Esso racchiude le prime linee di una filosofia della religione destinata - noi lo crediamo fermamente - a una singolare larghezza di ripercussioni e di applicazioni". Apparso per la prima volta in Germania nel 1917, indaga "ciò che costituisce l'intima essenza di ogni religione", di ogni fenomeno religioso, ossia la categoria del sacro, il cui dato fondamentale e originale è il "numinoso", il razionalmente indeducibile, il concettualmente inesplicabile. In esso il divino si manifesta come "mysterium tremendum" e "fascinans", come il nascosto, il non rivelato, l'"assolutamente altro", che terrorizza e al tempo stesso affascina, che sconvolge e sbigottisce con la sua "tremenda majestas", dinanzi a cui ogni creatura è schiacciata nella propria nullità, nel suo essere "fango e cenere e nient'altro". Il sacro è dunque essenzialmente, originariamente, "tremendum" e "fascinans" e solo più tardi la religione - al suo livello più alto nel cristianesimo - si autofonda come autonoma esperienza, si razionalizza, dando corpo da una parte alle idee di giustizia, di legge morale, di peccato e di redenzione, e dall'altra all'immagine della divinità come provvidenza, come misericordia, come amore.

مقدمه: کانت کانت می گفت انسان مادۀ اولیۀ دانش خودش رو از بیرون دریافت می کنه. اما این ماده خیلی بی شکل تر و مبهم تر از اونه که قابل درک باشه. این ذهن انسانه که میاد به این مادۀ بی شکل، شکل و فرم می ده، سعی می کنه توی قالب های مفهومی خودش جاش بده، و قابل درکش کنه. مثلاً ذهن زمان و مکان رو اضافه می کنه Leggi tutto
The thesis of this book is that a sense of God's presence, with its attendant emotions of sacredness, wonderment and awe, is the fundamental starting point of genuine religion. Everything else -- doctrine, ritual and theological speculation -- are reliant upon, and derived from this experience. Otto Leggi tutto
Otto's use of Kant's notion of the sublime to designate the Holy is very appealing at first. However, the sublime in Kant remains in the subjective category. What is sublime in the final analysis in Kant is human rationality (the power of reason) that overcomes and surpasses the uncontainable: the i Leggi tutto
For one who is more than tired of Systematic Theology which forces God into a box made by man and that you have to be either Calvinist or Armenian when I guess I could be just a Christian who knows there is a third category... This book looks into the transcendent reality of Father, His Only Son and Leggi tutto
يُعد كتاب رودلف أوتو "المقدس" أو "فكرة القدسي" واحد من أهم الكتب في علم الأديان لعدد من الأسباب، أولها هو المنهج اللي استخدمه أوتو، الكتاب يعتبر فكرته في عنوانه الفرعي تقصي عن العامل غير العقلاني في المقدس وعلاقته بالعامل العقلاني، وأهميته تكمن في إنه تقصي فنومنولوجي بامتياز. روجيه كايو كان أعتبر الك Leggi tutto
This was assigned reading for Paul Schaick's Philosophy of Religion course at Grinnell College in Iowa. Given the very little attention paid to it in class, I've always presumed he was required to include the text in the syllabus. In any case, I read it very quickly and wasn't impressed. The class i Leggi tutto
Old school theology book. One more famous study trying to proove that there is an a priori religious impulsion. Of course it cann't be based on reason. A renewal of irrationalistic stream inside theology, in the time of Bergson, Dada, Charles Fort, Freud, First World War. An effort to establish a br Leggi tutto
I enjoyed the unfolding of Jungian analysis, the concepts of holy terror and awe, and above all, the feeling of absolute sincerity. This wasn't a book of flowery nonsense, nor was it remotely a self-help book. I believe I'll be thinking about it for years down the line and appreciate a few of the nu Leggi tutto
Fascinating and worth a read. But particularly toward the end the chapters felt scattered. Perhaps that's simply because I couldn't always follow his connections. In the version I read, there were lots of French, Latin, German, and Greek words with no translation that he expects you to know. So I on Leggi tutto
