George Pattison | Why Heidegger Didn’t Like Catholic Theology

This is the second episode in the series on Heidegger and Theology, and a symposium on the same topic at CTR (December, 2015), with George Pattison, Professor of Divinity, University of Glasgow, gave a talk on the topic "Why Heidegger Didn’t Like Catholic Theology"
This presentation can found in a revised version, in the anthology Heidegger's Black Notebooks and the Future of Theology, edited by dr. Mårten Björk and prof. Jayne Svenungsson. 
Full abstract for the presentation:
"Much of the content of the Black Books relates to Heidegger's irritation with what he saw as a range of misinterpretations and misappropriations of his work. These include those who see Being and Time as derivative of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche as well as those who try to apply Heidegger's thought to contemporary philosophical issues. He is particularly hostile to Catholic theology, naming Romano Guardini as exemplifying what is wrong in such applications. The paper will explore Heidegger's antipathy in relation to Guardini's own theological-philosophical project with the aim of specifying just what Heidegger saw as the essential point at issue."

Hjalmar Falk | Katechontism: Carl Schmitt & the Politics of Eschaton

This episode is a talk by dr. Hjalmar Falk centered around the infamous German jurist, Carl Schmitt and his conception of political theology, with a particular focus on its implications for the philosophy of history. Central to Schmitt’s thought is the claim that all modern political concepts are secularized theological concepts, a relationship he identified not only between the miracle and the sovereign exception, but also between salvation history and the belief in progress found in modern philosophy of history. This talk will focus on Schmitt’s interpretation of the obscure Pauline figure of the katechon and what his use of this Biblical myth can tell us about Schmittian theory in particular and modern apocalyptic political thought in general.
Hjalmar Falk is a researcher at the Department of Literature, History of Ideas, and Religion (University of Gothenburg).

Judith Wolfe | Religious Aspects of the Black Notebooks

This episode is the first in a series on Heidegger and Theology, recorded at the symposium "Heidegger and Theology - After the Black Notebooks."
First out is an episode with Judith Wolfe, Professor of Philosophical Theology, University of St Andrews presenting on the topic "Religious Aspects of the Black Notebooks: Overview & Analysis."
This presentation can found in a revised version, in an anthology Heidegger's Black Notebooks and the Future of Theology, edited by dr. Mårten Björk and prof. Jayne Svenungsson. 
Full abstract for Wolfe's talk: 
"This paper gathers all significant remarks on Christianity in the Black Notebooks and analyses them in the context of Heidegger's attitude to religion at the time – which we already know from recent research to have been particularly conflicted during this period. The paper then offers a summary of the ways in which references in the Notebooks change our understanding of Heidegger's view of Christianity during the 1930's, and draw conclusions about Heidegger's continuing relevance to theology. In particular, the Notebooks reveal greater continuity between Heidegger and the secularized Christian hopes of the 19th century than Being and Time suggests, and so challenge the confidence with which some theologians have hoped to find a radically new approach to faith and theology in Heidegger's thought."

Seminarierummet | Simon Sorgenfrei om "Islam i Sverige"

Seminarierummet är en serie på R&T som återger diskussioner och samtal från något av seminarierna vid CTR. 
I detta första avsnitt från serien, inspelat i mitten av hösten 2018, får vi ta del av en presentation av Simon Sorgenfrei & boken "Islam i Sverige - de första 1300 åren" på det religionsvetenskapliga seminariet. Syftet med presentationen är att synliggöra luckor i tidigare forskning. 
Avsnittet avslutas lite abrupt, då seminariedeltagare efter den initiala presentationen lät tillfället övergå till en något mer intensiv dialogform, där det helhetsperspektiv som präglar inledningen öppnade för mindre sammanhängande tankespår, som också följdes upp av kortare sektioner och samtal.
 
Särskilt tack till gruppen Nous för musiken.
