Raum und Geist
Zur Erdung und Beheimatung der Religion - eine theologische Asthetik des Raumes
edited by Hans-Gunter Heimbrock, by Sigurd Bergmann
English summary: Religions are embedded in space and places, which reveal the spiritual power and the God who acts. The aesthetic composition of sacred space is inextricably linked with the ethical reshaping of the world as a lived space for created beings. Although space and places represent elementary phenomena of human life and orientation, theology and religious studies have only sparsely explored them. This book’s seven chapters investigate the central theme in a double direction by tracing the space in the spirit and the spirit in space as well as the mobility of both. They emerge in the horizon of an ecotheological aesthic/ethics of space, where the aesthetical is programmatically placed over the ethical. They invite the reader to walk through landscapes where the strange and the same join together. Insights from such different disciplines as ecological and contextual theology, anthropology of religion, phenomenology and eco-aesthetics of nature, as well as urban planning and the history of arts and ideas, are interwoven with each other. German text. German description: Religionen sind im Raum begrundet, der die Handlungskraft und Macht des Gottlichen offenbart. Die asthetische Gestaltung der heiligen Orte verbindet sich auch immer untrennbar mit der ethischen Umgestaltung der Welt als Lebensraum der Geschopfe. Obwohl der Raum und die Orte elementare Phanomene der menschlichen Orientierung sind, haben sich die Theologie und die Religionswissenschaft ihnen nur sparlich zugewandt. Die Marginalisierung der raumlichen Interpretation fuhrte zu fatalen Folgen in der Interpretation Gottes und der Religion. Gegenwartig erzwingt die okologische Herausforderung aller religiosen Glaubensgemeinschaften eine neue Reflektion uber die Bedeutung des Glaubens und der religiosen Handlungen im Zusammenhang des sich anthropogen verandernden Lebensraums. Raumphilosophische und naturasthetische Uberlegungen fugen sich bei Sigurd Bergmann an Reflexionen uber die gelebte Religion. Die Ideologiekritik des naturausbeuterischen Spatkapitalismus verbindet sich mit der klassischen Dekonstruktion von Gotzenlehren. Die moderne Stadtforschung erweitert ihren Geschichtshorizont in der Begegnung mit dem geistigen Erinnerungsraum und die Religionstheorie wird um das Existential der Bewegung und Mobilitat bereichert.
