Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What happens when the earliest Christian missionaries to China encounter advanced Tang science, Daoism, and the power of qi This groundbreaking book takes you inside the lost world of Jingjiao--the Luminous Teaching/Religion--uncovering how these East Syriac missionaries expressed the Holy Spirit through Chinese metaphors of breath and wind.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This groundbreaking volume delves into critical posthumanism, exploring the dissolution of traditional boundaries between humans and nonhuman entities.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Descartes: The Story of a Mind offers a rigorous, historically grounded reappraisal of René Descartes's intellectual development. Rejecting fixed labels and anachronistic formulae, Mori portrays a thinker in motion--shaped by uncertainty, dialogue, and evolving contexts. Drawing on lesser-known texts, correspondences, and polemics, the book foregrounds the fragmentary, dialectical nature of Descartes's philosophy. From early influences to the unity expressed in the tree of knowledge, the book reconstructs a dynamic Cartesian trajectory that bridges metaphysics, science, and ethics, revealing a mind perpetually negotiating its boundaries amid the shifting debates of the seventeenth century.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This multi-author work focuses on two regions--in antiquity more united than divided by the Strait of Gibraltar--during the so-called 'Long Late Antiquity'. While traditional research has described the changes beginning in the late 3rd century as the decline and end of ancient statehood, a 'governance' perspective allows them to be understood as a deliberate attempt to rebuild existing structures and adapt them to new conditions. This volume convincingly proves that this functional perspective offers the potential to relate questions of normative order and political organization in a way that ultimately elucidates the lasting consolidation of power in every aspect: in and through institutions, subject to economic necessities and chances, over spaces and territories. Contributors are Peter Fibiger Bang, Darío Bernal-Casasola, Rezki Chergui, Pablo C. Díaz Martínez, Abdelhamid Fenina, Luke Lavan, Stefanie Lenk, Eneko López Martínez de Marigorta, Volker Menze, Lauro Olmo Enciso, Paulo Pachá, Ruth Pliego, Pablo Poveda Arias, Daniel Syrbe, Leticia Tobalina Pulido, Chokri Touihri, and Morgane Uberti.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This study explores Albert the Great's understanding of theology, aiming to identify the characteristics and limits of the Albertine theological model. The analysis of selected passages from Albert's Super Sententiarum, Summa Theologiae, and biblical commentaries reveals how he viewed the academic theology (biblical exegesis/systematic theology) and the pastoral activity (preaching/disputing with the heretics) as systematically interconnected. Albert's strategic use of the pastoral tasks model from Titus 1:9 allows us to uncover the multidimensionality of his theology and to present it as deeply connected to the core tasks of the Dominican Order.…
