PANEL: The Concept of Love in Eberhard Jüngel
20/05/2024 11:00 - 16:30
HALL: FATESI - MARCATAJO

Proponent: Turck J.P.

Chair: Turck J.P.

Speaker: Goldberg M.N., Haug S., Howell C., Sulzer L., Turck J.P., Von Boehn V., Watson B.

The aim of the panel, as well as the research group of young scholars behind it, is to promote the international studies around the German Protestant theologian Eberhard Jüngel (1934-2021) and to discuss the latest developments in hermeneutical theology. E. Jüngel was probably one of the most important and innovative discourse leaders in the field of hermeneutic theology in the second half of the 20th century. The examination of his wide-ranging oeuvre is therefore a promising and forward-looking branch of research, which is not only being worked on within German-speaking theology and philosophy of religion, but is also increasingly attracting international attention.
After our research group of doctoral students and post-docs was represented at EuARe for the first time last year with the panel "The Meaning of Temporality: The Hermeneutical Contours of Word and History in Eberhard Jüngel", the topic for the 2024 panel is "The Concept of Love in Eberhard Jüngel".
All contributions that open up a specific perspective on Jüngel's concept of love are welcome. This can mean, for example, analyzing it in the context of a single writing, looking at it in the context of several of Jüngel's writings, bringing Jüngel into dialogue with other thinkers or choosing a completely different form of consideration. A wide variety of perspectives is expressly encouraged!
The talks should be between 15-20 minutes. Each presentation will be followed by 10-15 minutes of discussion
