Topic: Modernism



  
 Modernism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "avant-garde" was what Modernism was called at first, and the term remained to describe movements which identify themselves as attempting to overthrow some aspect of tradition or the status quo.
In essence, the Modern Movement argued that the new realities of the 20th century were permanent and imminent, and that people should adapt their world view to accept that what was new was also good and beautiful.
There was a general reaction in the 1920s against the pre-1918 Modernism, which emphasised its continuity with a past even as it rebelled against it, and against the aspects of that period, which seemed excessively mannered, irrational, and emotionalistic.

 Definition of Modernism
Modernism is pantheistic also by its doctrine of science and faith.
Modernism is inclined to pantheism also by its doctrine of Divine Immanence that is, of the intimate presence of God within us.
Hence it is that some Catholics, who are not quite steady in their faith and religion, attempt to revolt, and count themselves fortunate in having some doctrinal pretexts to cover their secession.

 [No title]
Modernism has a tendency toward pantheism (the doctrine that God is identical with the world or a part of it), emphasizing his immanence at the expense of his transcendence.
The heresy: Pope Piux X dubbed Modernism "the synthesis of all heresies." Modernists viewed doctrine not as a means of obtaining supernatural knowledge, but as a symbol of an unknowable ultimate reality or as a symbol of human religious expression.
Since God is found primarily or exclusively in the human heart-in subjective experience-he is profoundly immanent in the world.

 Greenberg: Modernism
The self-criticism of Modernism grows out of, but is not the same thing as, the criticism of the Enlightenment.
Under Modernism these same limitations came to be regarded as positive factors, and were acknowledged openly.
It seems natural that this new kind of criticism should have appeared first in philosophy, which is critical by definition, but as the 18th century wore on, it entered many other fields.

 Liberal Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many view the Bible as a book written by men who were inspired by God, rather than endorsing an inerrantist view of the Bible as a book written by men who were directly guided by God.
Historical contexts and scholarly criticism of the Bible play an important part in how they relate their faith and beliefs to the modern world.
Historically, the heirarchy of the Catholic Church has at times embraced, at times been neutral, and at other times taken a punitive stance toward Modernism.

 modernism. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Vital to the Catholic movement were the adoption of the critical approach to the Bible, which was by that time accepted by most Protestant churches, and the rejection of the intellectualism of scholastic theology, with the corresponding subordination of doctrine to practice.
Within the Roman Catholic Church there was a movement specifically referred to as Modernism; it was condemned as the “synthesis of all heresies” by Pius X in his encyclical Pascendi (1907).
These tendencies led them naturally to deny the authority of the church and the traditional Christian conception of God; a decree declared the beliefs heretical, ending Roman Catholic Modernism.

 2blowhards.com: Massengale on Modernism
Although Modernism was meant to be an approach that suited a post-religious age, it quickly took on all the characteristics of a traditional religion, not that it was ever able to deliver the satisfaction and happiness traditional religions sometimes manage to.
While the ideology is wearing off and Modernism is becoming more of a habit than anything, the gospel still has a hold on the priesthood and the true believers.
Ergo, the dessicated priest caste manning the ramparts of the dessicated fortress known as modernism (who are now promoting chaos, disorder) won't be able to hold off the peasant hordes (us) forever.

 Theological Liberalism, Modernism
Anglican modernism was distinctly British, individualistic and compromising, tending to combine Jesus' natural manhood with a doctrine of his divinity.
Liberalism had also become too dependent on finding the historical Jesus, and, as Albert Schweitzer showed, the Jesus that researchers were uncovering possessed an apocalyptic world view and assumptions that were quite a variance with their conception of his teaching.
Christianity was transformed into a high - minded ethical humanism that offered little for those caught up in the travail of modern life, and in its efforts not to separate the sacred from the secular it too closely identified the one with the other.

 What is Art? What is an Artist? MODERNISM: Roots
It was believed, in fact, certainly according to the "ancients" in that quarrel of the Ancients and Moderns mentioned earlier, that the ancient world had achieved a kind of perfection, an ideal that came close to the Enlightenment understanding of truth.
The argument introduces an important dichotomy that is to remain fundamental to the modernist question.
In it may be recognized the division between conservative forces, who tended to support the argument for the Ancients, and the more progressive forces who sided with the Moderns.

 the evangelical outpost: Modernism to Eleven:
Is Postmodernism a Myth?
Christians who hold to the traditions of Christ and His Apostles are neither modern, nor pre-modern, but are of an order that lies outside the vicissitudes of mortal time.
When I say that postmodernism is "modernism in disguise" I DON'T mean that they are the same thing, nor do I mean that the former isn't a reaction to/rejection of the latter.
There is, however, one real sense in which there is a difference: those who are claiming to affirm truth *outside* the modernist schema entirely are, I think, legitimately allowed to use post-structuralist arguments *within the scope of modernist discourse* to demostrate its always self-defeating tendencies.

 TheCriticalPoet - Featured Movement - Modernism
The world seemed to be breaking apart, the meaning of everything was being questioned, and modernism grappled with the fragmentation and complexity brought about by such a state.
Modernism arose from a backlash against Victorian ideals, which now seemed questionable in the widespread turmoil and suffering of the early 20th century.
The modern poet had a different world from the Victorian poets to contemplate, and thus employed new forms and styles as fitting this new disillusioned world view.

You might think of grand narratives as a kind of meta-theory, or meta-ideology, that is, an ideology that explains an ideology (as with Marxism); a story that is told to explain the belief systems that exist.
Faulkner's multiply-narrated stories are an example of this aspect of modernism.
The first facet or definition of modernism comes from the aesthetic movement broadly labeled "modernism." This movement is roughly coterminous with twentieth century Western ideas about art (though traces of it in emergent forms can be found in the nineteenth century as well).

Posters and advertisements of the period are full of images of floodlit skyscrapers and light rays shooting out from automobile headlights, moviehouses, and watchtowers to illumine a forbidding outer darkness suggesting ignorance and old-fashioned tradition.
The large cultural wave of Modernism, which gradually emerged in Europe and the United States in the early years of the 20th century, expressed a sense of modern life through art as a sharp break from the past, as well as from Western civilization's classical traditions.
New critics hunted the "epiphany" (moment in which a character suddenly sees the transcendent truth of a situation, a term derived from a holy saint's appearance to mortals); they "examined" and "clarified" a work, hoping to "shed light" upon it through their "insights."
