فلسفة اللغة الدينية : العلامة والرمز والقصة

Rate this book
This text provides an introduction to the developments in philosophy of language in this century, and to the way these developments have impinged upon religious language, particularly Christian discourse. Most treatments of the subject focus on the relevance of analytical philosophy of language with its verificational and functional phases.

This book is filled with information but the way it's written is extremely dry. It was difficult to get through without my eyelids dropping and I love philosophy as well as different religious practices. Perhaps the focus on pure language was what made it so dull to me- I just feel like so much more could have been done to make it just as informative but more entertaining. Overall, the information is good but I wouldn't read it for pleasure- just for added knowledge.

A wonderful introduction into the philosophy of religious language. Stiver cleverly and helpfully charts the history of religious language and the philosophy of language all the way to the late 20th century (when the book was written). Any student of philosophy of religion or theology would greatly benefit from this work. While other reviews may consider it dry and boring, the opposite couldn't be more true.

يُعتَبَر هذا الكتاب من أفضل المداخل إلى فلسفة اللغة الدينية، بترجمة رائع من الدكتور كيان حفظه الله.

ومن بين ثلاثية الدكتور كيان في الترجمة في اللغة الدينية، هذا الكتاب أفضلهم، لوضوح مادته بلغتها الأصلية، على العكس من صعوبة التناول عند مايكل سكوت (الجزء الذي خصصه للحديث عن الوضعية المنطقية مثلًا) أو إيجاز القول (في مواضع لا يليق فيها ذلك) في كتاب ستيفن لوكستن.

This book is full of information, the manner in which it is presented is incredibly boring. This is not a good choice for light reading.

Interesting, though too general to help me with what I needed it for.
