ISBN: 0823224538 ISBN-13: 9780823224531 Publisher: Fordham University Press OUR PRICE: $57.00 Product Type: Hardcover Published: May 2005 Annotation: This book, at the intersections of political sociology, political philosophy, and theology, reads the legacyof Bosnia as both a paradigm and an antiparadigm forthe human condition. The adjective Bosnian sums up anacceptance of the diversity of human attitudes towardthe world and toward God. Yet the Bosnian tradition ofaccepting the inevitability of, and thus the right to, differingChristologies among people who speak the samelanguage and share the same history has been reduced tothe antiparadigms of confessionalism, ethnicism, andultimately nationalism, which seeks either to expel or tosubordinate to the majority everything that is other. |
