The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
What makes me a Christian?
What makes me a Christian -- expressed purely formally -- is a certain kind of self-understanding and life-praxis: that I understand myself, others, and the whole as I am called to do by the call to be a Christian; and that I then explicitly believe and actually do what is necessarily presupposed and implied by my self-understanding (as well as the call to be a Christian) and lead all of the rest of my life as a human being accordingly -- in accordance with my self-understanding and the beliefs and actions that it necessarily presupposes and implies.
What makes me a university teacher?
What makes me a university teacher -- again, expressed purely formally -- is a certain kind of self-understanding and life-praxis: that I understand myself, others, and the whole as I am called to do by the call to be a university teacher; and that I then explicitly believe and actually do what is necessarily presupposed and implied by my self-understanding (as well as the call to be a university teacher) and lead all of the rest of my life as a university teacher accordingly -- in accordance with my self-understanding and the beliefs and actions that it necessarily presupposes and implies.
