Zwischen Dolorismus und Perfektionismus. Konturen einer politischen Theologie der Verwundbarkeit.(

de Michaela NEULINGER

Based on a thorough discussion of Talal Asad’s seminal studies of the secular and its hidden exclusivist structures, particularly concerning Islam, Michaela Neulinger looks for the enduring legitimate contribution of religions to the common good, the normative core of politics in an age of secularity and religious plurality. The suggested “Political Theology of Vulnerability” brings theology into dialogue with anthropology, social psychology and political theory and shows, how a productive theological answer to the vulnerability of human existence can foster resistance against religious and political totalitarianism and support empathy and solidarity, the thick ground of democracy.

بقلم Michaela NEULINGER

استناداً إلى نقاش متأنٍّ لدراسات Talal Asad التأسيسية حول العلماني وبناه الإقصائية الخفيّة، ولا سيّما بشأن الإسلام، تبحث Michaela Neulinger عن الإسهام المشروع المستمرّ للأديان في الخير العامّ، النواة المعيارية للسياسة في عصر العلمانية والتعدّدية الدينية. يُدخل «اللاهوت السياسي للهشاشة» المقترَح اللاهوتَ في حوار مع الأنثروبولوجيا وعلم النفس الاجتماعي والنظرية السياسية، ويُظهر كيف يمكن لجواب لاهوتي منتِج لهشاشة الوجود الإنساني أن يُشجّع المقاومة ضدّ الشمولية الدينية والسياسية، ويُعزّز التعاطف والتضامن، الأرضَ الخصبة للديمقراطية.
