{"product_id":"the-metaphysics-of-the-incarnation-9780199583164","title":"The Metaphysics of the Incarnation","description":"The growth of both philosophy of mind and cognitive science has developed our understanding of the human mind in ways that just a few decades ago were unthinkable. As ideas from philosophy of mind begin to cross over into philosophy of religion, there is renewed interest in questions about the divine mind, about how it might relate to a human body, and about whether incarnation itself might be articulated with the conceptual tools offered by the current research developments in the philosophy of mind. This book offers original essays by leading philosophers of religion representing these new approaches to theological problems such as incarnation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe doctrine of incarnation -- that Jesus Christ was God become human -- has always been one of the most central and distinctive features of Christianity. Similar doctrines about divine humans can be found in other religions, from the claims to divinity made by ancient kings and emperors to the concept of avatars in Hinduism. But many people regard the notion that a human being could also be divine as unjustifiable or incoherent, and none of the many attempts to articulate it philosophically has earned general acceptance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors explore, from a variety of different viewpoints, whether any metaphysically rigorous and coherent model of incarnation can be defended today. Their aim is to give readers a clearer sense not only of the problems and possible new solutions associated with incarnation itself, but of how the notion of incarnation may be fitted in to wider current debates in philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Marmadoro,Jonathan Hill,Anna Marmodoro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199583164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnna Marmodoro\u003c\/strong\u003e is Postdoctoral Fellow in Philosophy at the University of Oxford. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJonathan Hill\u003c\/strong\u003e is Postdoctoral Researcher in Philosophy at the University of Oxford.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43984314204275,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":299.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_319c5647-4da1-4fb7-94d0-94795f651839.jpg?v=1760707347","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-metaphysics-of-the-incarnation-9780199583164","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
