In the organizer's words:
No kings at all!
Philology and philosophy
In the "Philology and Philosophy" series, a Judaist
Judaist + philologist and a philosopher + theologian
offer their respective dual roles to explore texts and their contexts. On this evening
we will each present a biblical and a philosophical text on the topic of rulers and domination
and invite you to discuss them together.
The Hebrew Bible describes and analyzes the history of biblical kingship as a failure. We will look at the false expectations of a king, as all peoples around us have, as well as the criticism of the misconstruction of royal rule and, finally, counter-models.
From a philosophical perspective, we will use some "footnotes to Plato" to criticize the concepts of rule and kingship and their inner logic. Claims of a state of emergency or apocalyptic concepts of the end times are currently used to justify the exercise of power. We take time to read original texts and reflect on how and why this claim is unfounded.
why this claim is unfounded.
