Description
Homer's tale from Greek mythology about the hero Odysseus and the fascinating goddess, heroine, and sorceress Circe is one of the classic stories that are repeatedly interpreted in schools from theological, philosophical, sociological, psychological, and historical perspectives.This volume offers new perspectives and more comprehensive views than previous considerations and, for the first time, connects the central figure of Circe and the ideals, commandments, and values associated with her with current perspectives from the field of artificial intelligence.Philosophy and theology are enriched by Circe's multifaceted personality and biographical aspects: topics such as symbolic thinking in theology for reconciliation with evil, spiritual maturation in solitude, salvation and healing through the integration of light and shadow work, the application of a growth framework despite the recognition of limitations, and the religious ethics of hospitality are examined in a new light. Theological principles are also reflected upon, including the principle of ordinatio fructifera, or the dumbbell principle of theology, the "brilliant idea" of theology, macro-metanoia and metanoia caelibatus, the theological principle of gratia evanescens, and the analysis of a mercy index. An introduction to the female archetype of the Great Mother and Sophia is also given special recognition - alongside love as the forge of our inner cosmos.In transdisciplinary individual chapters, potentials, talents, wounds, and processes of transformation are reflected upon in depth, linking fundamental theological concepts with psychological, sociological, and social-psychological perspectives at all levels of human experience: from the micro level of individual identity and existential questions, to the meso level of social dynamics and community experience, to the macro level of global social structures and institutions such as the Catholic Church.An inspiring work that brings Odysseus and Circe, as well as the archetype of the wounded healer from the depths of mythology, right into the heart of the central existential and social questions of our time, reflecting on, reforming, and in some cases healing the values and commandments of theology, while also strengthening each individual as a talent and showing ways to grow despite personal wounds and injuries.
