More DescriptionEnglish summary: This is a book of many facets. It covers the development and complexity of Jewish Studies, especially as they evolved in German-speaking countries (Judaistik), illuminating Judaism as a religion and a culture in its sociology, literature, and philology. Jewish Studies are interdisciplinary and open-ended, they explore Jewish life throughout its long history. Their humanistic approach serves as a model in the global struggle against prejudice and may even help to establish the study of Islam as a discipline of topical importance. The study of Judaism is a precondition for the Jewish-Christian dialogue as it is theologically conceived in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. German description: Darwins Theorie und ihre Weiterbildungen in der modernen Evolutionsbiologie ins Gesprach zu bringen mit Fragen der Philosophie, der Wissenschaftstheorie und der Theologie - das ist das Ziel dieses Bandes. Weltanschauliche Altlasten und Barrieren werden uberwunden und neue Perspektiven der Debatte - aber auch nach wie vor offene Sachfragen - sondiert. Der Band ist in vier Bereiche gegliedert: Grundlagen und Methoden der Evolutionstheorie, Evolutionstheorie im Dialog der verschiedenen Disziplinen, zukunftsgerichtete Versuche, Evolution weiterzudenken, sowie Evolutionstheorie und Anthropologie. Der Band umfasst die uberarbeiteten Beitrage dieser interdisziplinaren Gesprache, die im Februar 2010 an der Universitat Wien gefuhrt wurden.
