Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst

This interdisciplinary volume brings together contributions on moral, aesthetic, and religious phenomenology from the perspectives of theology, philosophy, psychology, and musicology, and examines the relatedness of the respective realities and disciplines. In ethics, aesthetics, and religion, we are all dealing with meanings that cannot be properly grasped in their essence using scientific methods. We seem to have to rely on our receptive abilities when it comes to questions of beauty, cruelty, and the sublime: they are all explicated in sensory experience. What does the recourse to our experience and life practice do to the validity claims of the phenomena and the epistemological character of the disciplines?

With contributions by Konstantin Funk, Bernd Harbeck-Pingel, Klaas Huizing, Andreas Mayer, Stefan Michels, Olaf L. Müller, Ulrike Peisker, Birger Petersen, Michael Roth, Susanne Schmetkamp, Notger Slenczka, Holm Tetens, and Magdalena Zorn.

This interdisciplinary collection combines essays on moral, aesthetic, and religious phenomenology from the academic fields of theology, philosophy, psychology, and music. It aims at identifying and discussing synergies between the respective disciplines. Ethics, aesthetics, and religion are all concerned with meaning that cannot be properly described with the help of scientific methods. In questions of the beautiful, the cruel, and the sublime, we seem to have to rely on our receptive capabilities: they are all expressed and understood via sensory perception. How does the incorporation of our experience and daily routines influence the validity of the phenomena as well as the epistemological claim of the disciplines?.
