Reihe: Religion in philosophy and theology

Negativität ist kein negatives Phänomen, sondern allgegenwärtig im menschlichen Leben und Denken. Ohne sie können Kontingenz und Andersartigkeit, Subjektivität und Macht, Transzendenz und Immanenz im menschlichen Leben und in der menschlichen Kultur nicht verstanden werden. Der vorliegende Band untersucht Formen der Negativität in zentralen religiösen, theologischen und philosophischen Traditionen des westlichen, buddhistischen und koreanischen Denkens.
