Octavo, gray boards (hardcover), gilt letters, xviii, 469 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: In the ninth century BCE, the peoples of four distinct religions and philosophical traditions that have continued to nourish humanity to the present day: Confucianism and Daoism in China, Hinduism and Buddhism in India, monotheism in Israel, and philosophical rationalism in Greece. Later generations further developed these intitial insights, but we have never grown beyond them. Rabbinic Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, for example, were all secondary flowerings of the original Israelite vision. Now, in The Great Transformation, Karen Armstrong, reveals how the sages of this pivotal "Axial Age" can speak clearly and helpfully to the violence and desperation that we experience in our own times. Armstrong traces the development of the Axial Age chronologically, examining the contributions of such figures as the Buddha, Socrates, Confucius, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the mystics of the Upanishads, Mencius, and Euripides. All of the Axial Age faiths began in principled and visceral recoil from the unprecedented violence of their time. Despite some differences of emphasis, there was a remarkable consensus in their call for an abandonment of selfishness and a spirituality of compassion. With regard to dealing with fear, despair, hatred, rage, and violence, the Axial sages gave their people and give us, Armstrong says, two important pieces of advice: first there must be personal responsibility and self-criticism, and it must be followed by practical, effective action. In her introduction and concluding chapter, Armstrong urges us to consider how these spiritualities challenge the way we are religious today. In our various institutions, we sometimes seem to be attempting to create exactly the kind of religion that Axial sages and prophets had hoped to eliminate. We often equate faith with doctrinal conformity, but the traditions of the Axial Age were not about dogma. All insited on the primacy of compassion even the midst of suffering. In each Axial Age case, a disciplined revulsion from violence and hatred proved to be the major catalyst of spiritual change. Religion, Philosophy, Morality. bslic.

Softcover. Condition: gut. 2008. Karen Armstrong erzählt die faszinierende Geschichte einer der wichtigsten geistigen Revolutionen der Weltgeschichte. Zwischen dem neunten und dem zweiten Jahrhundert vor Christus bildeten sich in vier verschiedenen Erdteilen religiöse und philosophische Traditionen heraus, die seitdem für die Menschheit von zentraler Bedeutung sind und uns auch heute noch Orientierung geben können. Karen Armstrong begibt sich auf eine faszinierende Entdeckungsreise zu den verschütteten Lehren der so genannten Achsenzeit. Dabei handelt es sich um die Epoche ab dem 9. Jahrhundert vor Christus, in der eine neue Form des menschlichen Bewusstseins entstand. Aus dieser Zeit stammen die großen Glaubensrichtungen, die für die Menschheit bis heute zentral sindHinduismus und Buddhismus aus Indien, Taoismus und Konfuzianismus aus China, der Rationalismus aus Griechenland und der Monotheismus aus der Region des heutigen Israel. Armstrong kann zeigen, dass jede dieser Weltanschauungen auf vergleichbare Probleme mit ganz ähnlichen Antworten reagierte. Die Urväter dieser geistig-religiösen Revolution Buddha, Sokrates, Konfuzius und Hesekiel wollten den Menschen keine ultimative Wahrheit aufzwingen; es ging ihnen nicht so sehr darum, was man glaubte, sondern wie man lebte. Mitgefühl und Toleranz wurden an unterschiedlichen Orten zu den wichtigsten Tugenden ernannt. So liest sich Karen Armstrongs glänzend geschriebene Abhandlung nicht nur als eine umfassende Ideengeschichte der Weltreligionen, sondern zugleich als ein eindringliches Plädoyer für die Besinnung auf die ursprünglichen Quellen unseres Glaubens, unserer Philosophie und Moral. Ein besonders lehrreiches Buch in Zeiten der Gewalt und der religiösen Intoleranz. Das Buch antwortet auf das aktuelle Interesse an Religion, indem es den gemeinsamen Kern der großen Glaubensrichtungen freilegt. In deutscher Sprache. 624 pages. 20,6 x 13,4 x 4,6 cm.
