Indeed, it is the very concept that may protect the humanities from the loss of their specific character. It may also stop the tendency to take the practices and methods of natural sciences as models, for example by focusing on quantitative aspects (when sociology or philosophy use criteria from the neurosciences) or by employing cognitivism instead of an historical approach. The concept of interpretation allows us to reflect on the historical and social aspects of any research. This can only be understood if we take into account the problem of the sense and meaning of individual and social conduct, by analysing the intentions of historical agents. Human facts do not speak for themselves. They need to be interpreted, understood, and analysed with instruments that are aware of the profound complexity of human events (both individual and social). From the ancient Mediterranean world through medieval Europe to contemporary India case studies focus on original developments, new techniques and new fields of, but also important reflections on, the interpretation of texts, rituals and major cultural "facts".

Gr.-8°, Brosch. XI, 299 S. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // Bildet das zweite Jahrhundert n. Chr. eine Zäsur für die Entwicklung von Vorstellungen eines "Selbst"? Wenn ja, weist dieser Prozess eine religiöse Dimension auf? War er mit Veränderungen im Bereich von Praktiken und Institutionen verbunden? Und schließlich: Lassen sich diese Entwicklungen als je eigene Formen von religiöser Individualisierung verstehen? Diesen Fragen widmen sich die Autoren dieses Bandes, Spezialisten für die Philosophie, Theologie, Literatur- und Religionsgeschichte der Epoche. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Texte und Autoren wie Seneca, Plutarch, Epiktet, der "Hirte des Hermas", Lukian von Samosata, Justin Martyr und Ptolemaeus von Rom und das Corpus Hermeticum. Die Autoren des Bandes zeigen, wie sich Vorstellungen vom "Selbst" mit körperbezogenen Praktiken von Kleidung und Haartracht wie Institutionen ethischer Reflexion und religiöser Erziehung miteinander zu wirkmächtigen Vorstellungen verbinden.

Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // Welchen Einfluss hatte der städtische Raum auf das Gebet und damit verbundenes religiöses Denken und Glauben in den antiken Religionen vom 1. bis zum 6. Jahrhundert n. Chr.? Dieser Band versucht, den bisher üblichen Fokus auf die Formen und die Semantik des Gebets durch ein stadträumliches Modell zu ersetzen, das Gebete als Performanzen versteht, die in den städtischen Raum eingebettet und verkörpert sind, sowie als Texte, die Raumvorstellungen produzieren und von diesen inspiriert sind.

Condizione: gut. Magnification and Miniaturization in Religious Communications in Antiquity and Modernity. Materialities and Meanings In deutscher Sprache. pages.

Paperback, xiv + 230 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:47 b/w, 72 col., 3 maps b/w, 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503604794. Summary Human agents might not be the measure of all things. Nonetheless, human bodies, and their bodily dimensions, often are, with size impacting on the ways in which we conceive of, interact with, and relate to the world around us. The scaling up or down of features ? magnification and miniaturization ? is particularly evident in the creation of anthropogenic items intended for use in religious ritual, and here sizing can be employed as a deliberate strategy to encourage shock and awe, admiration and deterrence, among spectators. Taking as its starting point the concept of 'materialities and meanings', this volume explores how human perceptions and understanding of magnified and miniaturized forms and structures are shaped and changed, both synchronically and diachronically, by our understanding of the human body and its size, and the impact that this has in our relationship with the wider world in the context of ritual practices. The chapters collected here consider a range of questions, from a discussion on the essentials of magnification or miniaturization to an exploration of the impact of such strategies on humans and their wider socio-political ramifications. Together, these chapters contribute to a unique discussion that offers new insights into 'materialities and meanings', the creation of items for ritual, and the ways in which they influence human perception and understanding.
