Short description:
Moralische Grundsätze bedürfen der Sprache. Sprache transportiert ethischen Sinn. Neben explizit ethischen Aussagen, wird anhand der Interpretation konkreter neutestamentlicher Texte auch implizit moralische Sprache anhand dreier ineinandergreifender Kategorien analysiert. Moralities express themselves in and through language. Language transports ethical meaning. Apart from explicit ethical statements, implicit NT moral language is analyzed in three overlapping aspects based on the interpretation of concrete NT texts.

Moralische Grundsätze bedürfen der Sprache. Sprache transportiert ethischen Sinn. Neben explizit ethischen Aussagen wird anhand der Interpretation konkreter neutestamentlicher Texte auch implizit moralische Sprache anhand dreier ineinandergreifender Kategorien analysiert: auf intratextueller Ebene (linguistische und analytisch-philosophische Methoden - syntaktische Form, Stil und Logik), auf textueller oder intertextueller Ebene (Formkritik, Diskursanalyse) und auf extratextueller Ebene (Speech-act Analyse - Rhetorik - Reader-response Criticism). Mit Rekurs auf die analytische Moralphilosophie widmen sich die Beiträge z.B. den Fragen: Worauf basiert die ethische Qualität einer Aussage? Welche linguistischen Mittel befördern die Vermittlung neutestamentlicher Ethik? Welchen Einfluss hat das Genre eines Textes auf dessen ethische Implikationen? Welche Prä- und Intertexte unterliegen ethischen Aussagen und wo lassen sich Referenzen aufzeigen? Welchen ethischen Effekt erzielt der Text beim Adressaten? Welche linguistischen und rhetorischen Mittel werden eingesetzt und mit welcher Intention? Welche Wirkung erzielt ein Text und aus welchen Gründen? Können wir von einem impliziten ethischen Subjekt im Text sprechen? This volume focuses on the interrelatedness of morality and language. Apart from explicit ethical statements, implicit NT moral language is analysed in three overlapping aspects based on the interpretation of concrete NT texts: an intratextual level (linguistic and analytic philosophical methods: syntactical form, style and logic), an textual and intertextual level (form criticism, discourse analysis) and an extratextual level (speech act analysis; rhetoric; reader-response criticism). With reference to analytical moral philosophy, the contributions address questions such as: Where does the ethical quality of a statement come from? Which linguistic devices are used to express ethics in the NT writings? In which way does the genre of the text influence its ethical meaning? Which pre- and intertexts are part of the ethical statements, in which way does the text refer to them? Which ethical impact did and do texts have on their readers? Which linguistic and rhetorical style is used to meet the addressees? Why do we consider a text powerful or polemic? Can we speak of an implicit ethical subject in the text from a literary perspective?
