  • Psychology, Religion, and Critical Hermeneutics: Comments on Reber, Slife and Whoolery, Nelson, and Richardson

    Open AccessTerry D Cooper, Don Browning et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology2006

    The articles in this issue have provided an important analysis of how psychology, so often stuck in Enlightenment foundationalism, needs to catch up with changes in the philosophy of science. These changes reveal that the older Enlightenment goal of emptying oneself of preconceptions in order to perform objective, neutral, and detached investigation no longer realistic. While some individuals in the harder sciences recognize this impossibility, i…

  • Feminism, Family, and Women's Rights: A Hermeneutic Realist Perspective

    Open AccessDon BrowningARTICLEZygon®2003References: 3

    In this article I apply the insights of hermeneutic realism to a practical-theological ethics that addresses the international crisis of families and women's rights. Hermeneutic realism affirms the hermeneutic philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer but enriches it with the dialectic of participation and distanciation developed by Paul Ricoeur. This approach finds a place for sciences such as evolutionary psychology within a hermeneutically informed eth…

    A new wave of religious energy is sweeping through the western nations. Although God is disappearing from religious discourse in western culture, both as a word and as a concept, there is a definite undercurrent of religious ardour, which is growing in strength. It focuses all the more attention on the issue: what or who is God in the modern era? This is the question examined through systematic studies, practical theology and empirical research, …

  • Can Psychology Escape Religion? Should It

    Don BrowningARTICLEInternational Journal for the…1997Cited by: 1References: 4

    The author asks: Can psychology escape giving an account of the multiple ways in which religion influences it as both a science and a professional practice? Examining the psychologies of Freud, Rogers, Maslow, Erikson, Kohut, and Skinner, he finds religious themes in each, expressed in various narratives and metaphors. He argues, not for a religious psychology, but in favor of a religiously informed philosophical anthropology for psychological pr…

    “It gets to the heart of what makes practical theology practical to be able to answer the question, ‘Where are we now?’... For a practical theology to be genuinely practical, it must have some description of the present situation, some critical theory about the ideal situation, and some understanding of the processes, spiritual forces, and technologies required to get from where we are to the future ideal, no matter how fragmentarily and incomple…
