Sažetak
Ludwig Nagl, Prof. em. of the Dept. of Philosophy, U. of Vienna, is author or editor of numerous works on contemporary philosophy (Social theory, analytic philosophy) pragmatism (Charles Pierce), deconstructionism (Jacques Derrida, Gianni Vattimo) and contemporary philosophy of religion, as well as on aesthetics of media and film. In this volume of essays in German, he presents his reflections on contemporary approaches to religion and the Absolute. N.'s main point is that a relationship to transcendence is indispensable for the establishment of a "horizon of hope". Following the collapse of theoretical and descriptive approaches to transcendence, however, this can only be achieved through non-theoretistic, post-ethical and (neo- )pragmaticist means (27). N. sees in American Pragmatism, above all "proto-pragmatist" Royce, a previously neglected option for philosophy of religion, in particular reflection on transcendence and the absolute. N. explores, in light of neo- pragmatist approaches to religion in Putnam and Rorty, but also classic philosophers of religion Kant and Hegel, whose sustained influence on contemporary philosophy of religion N. examines in detail, the ongoing relevance of pragmati(ci)st approaches to religion.
