Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Als Repräsentanten ihrer Herkunft und ihrer Verwendungsgeschichten gewinnen auch unbearbeitete Steine in politischen, nationalen ebenso wie in religiösen und ästhetischen Kontexten Bedeutung. Oft wurden sie - wie die chinesischen Gartensteine aus dem Tai-See - unter schwierigen Bedingungen abgebaut, geborgen und über weite Strecken transportiert. Aus sinologischer und kunsthistorischer Perspektive untersuchen die hier versammelten Beiträge den Transfer sowie die materialsemantischen Verheißungen von Steinen in unterschiedlichen Kulturen. Im Zentrum steht China mit seiner besonderen Geschichte der Wertschätzung von 'Bruder Stein'; die kulturellen Praktiken und Repräsentationsformen in westlichen Ländern und in Japan bilden dazu einen Vergleichsrahmen. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Die Pluralisierung des Philosophiebegriffs gehört zu den Charakteristika der ersten Jahrhunderte nach Christus einer mit tiefgreifenden Veränderungen verbundenen Epoche, die sich allgemein in faszinierender Weise mit unserer Gegenwart berührt. Zu nennen ist insbesondere eine (angesichts der genannten Pluralisierung zunächst überraschende) Tendenz zur Vereinheitlichung nicht nur der materiellen Kultur innerhalb des globalisierten Imperium Romanum, sondern auch des intellektuellen Diskurses. Diese geht in paradoxer, mit modernen Erfahrungen jedoch durchaus übereinstimmender Weise Hand in Hand mit einer zunehmenden Ausdifferenzierung und Vervielfachung der philosophisch-religiösen Lebensformen und Heilslehren, zu denen das an die hellenistisch-jüdische Tradition anschließende Christentum neu hinzukommt. Die in diesem Band vereinigten Beiträge renommierter Spezialisten aus aller Welt untersuchen die verschiedenen Facetten dieser Entwicklung. Angesichts der Bedeutung der Epoche für die Ausbildung der abendländischen Identität dürfte der Band über den engeren Bereich der Altertumswissenschaften hinaus für ein weiteres Publikum von Interesse sein.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Der Wormser Reichstag von 1509 wurde bislang in der Forschung weitgehend auf seine spektakuläre Verweigerung gegenüber der Forderung Kaiser Maximilians I. nach einer Reichshilfe für den Krieg gegen Venedig reduziert. Die auf den Überlieferungen von beinahe 50 Archiven basierende Quellenedition erschließt vollständig Vorgeschichte, Struktur und Ablauf sowie die unmittelbaren Folgen dieses Reichstages. Nun ist es nicht nur erstmals möglich, das Zustandekommen der Aufsehen erregenden Entscheidung des Reichstages gegen den Kaiser zu verstehen, sondern überhaupt dessen Wirken auf einer Vielzahl bislang vernachlässigter Themenfelder zu verfolgen. Mochte der Wormser Tag aus kaiserlicher Sicht gescheitert sein, mit seinen Maßnahmen für das Reichskammergericht und für die interterritoriale Konfliktbewältigung wurden in der Perspektive der Reichsstände zentrale Aufgaben wahrgenommen und bewältigt. Die Edition ermöglicht somit grundlegend neue Einsichten in das Reichssystem um 1500.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Metaphysik und Pragmatismus scheinen sich seit den Arbeiten von Richard Rorty auszuschließen. Deweys 'Erfahrung und Natur' ist der Versuch eines der bedeutendsten Pragmatisten, eine naturalistische und humanistische Metaphysik zu entwickeln, indem er die klassische europäische Metaphysik transformiert und ihr ihre Fixierung auf ewige Notwendigkeiten und absolute Gewissheiten austreibt. Er versucht, eine Metaphysik für eine in seinen Augen 'gemischte' Welt zu schreiben, in der es Zufall und Notwendigkeit, Gefahren und Ungewissheiten, aber auch für bestimmte Zeiträume verlässliche Ordnungen gibt. Dieser 'Klassiker Auslegen'-Band verfolgt dieses Projekt nach, indem die zehn Kapitel von Deweys Buch in zehn interpretierenden Essays historisch eingeordnet und systematisch analysiert werden. Dabei wird der ganze Themenhorizont der klassischen Metaphysik abgeschritten: Von dem Problem der Ordnung und Unordnung der Wirklichkeit über das Leib-Seele-Problem bis zu den Themen Wert und Kritik. Das Buch soll Studierenden den Zugang zu Deweys Metaphysik erleichtern und Forschenden in der Philosophie die Aktualität des Deweyschen Denkens wieder ins Gedächtnis zurückrufen. 214 pp. Deutsch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the mid 1950s, a British taxi driver named George King claimed that Budha, Jesus, and Lao Tzu had been alien cosmic masters who had come to earth to teach mankind the right way to live. Sun Myung Moon claimed that Korean people are descendants of the lost tribes of Israel. Joseph Smith claimed that some lost tribes of Israel had moved to Americas hundreds of years ago. All three people successfully founded new religious movements that have survived to this day. How and why do some people come up with such seemingly strange and bizarre ideas and why do others come to place their faith in these ideas The first part of this book develops a multidisciplinary theoretical framework drawn from cognitive science of religion and social psychology to answer these critically important questions. The second part of the book illustrates how this theoretical framework can be used to understand the origin and evolution of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama at founded by an Indian Muslim in 1889. The book breaks new ground by studying the influence that religious beliefs of 19th century reformist Indian Muslims, in particular, founders of the Ahl-e-Hadith movement, had on the beliefs of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama at. Using the theoretical framework developed in part I, the book also explains why many north Indian Sunni Muslims found Ahmad s ideas to be irresistible and why the movement split into two a few years Ahmad s death. The book will interest those who want to understand cults as well as those who want to understand reformist Islamic movements. 190 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book studies Seneca's poetic drama from a novel point of view. Whereas most criticism of Seneca's dramas has tended to focus on their relationship to Stoicism, I approach them from the perspective of Seneca's own theory of literary decadence, which he sets forth in the 114th of his letters to Lucilius. His theory can be summed up as follows: the various forms of stylistic corruption are the result of a straining for effect, which itself reflects a taste for the extreme. A writer or speaker's stylistic vices thus mirror the vices of his character; they also reflect the vices of the time and place in which he lives, since every user of language is conditioned by his environment. What is especially striking about Seneca's discussion is that a number of the vices he lists - hyperbole, disruption of natural word order, excessive metaphor - are notable features of the poetic style of his own dramas. I argue for a rehabilitation of the 'decadent' style of Seneca's tragedies: in Seneca's hands, this style is a precise diagnostic tool for revealing the self-destructive irrationality that governs not only the individual, but also his society and the entire universe. 108 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Rewriting' is one of the most crucial but at the same time one of the most elusive concepts of literary scholarship. In order to contribute to a further reassessment of such a notion, this volume investigates a wide range of medieval and early modern literary transformations, especially focusing on texts (and contexts) of Italian and French Renaissance literature. The first section of the book, 'Rewriting', gathers essays which examine medieval and early modern rewritings while also pointing out the theoretical implications raised by such texts. The second part, 'Rewritings in Early Modern Literature', collects contributions which account for different practices of rewriting in the Italian and French Renaissance, for instance by analysing dynamics of repetition and duplication, verbatim reproduction and free reworking, textual production and authorial self-fashioning, alterity and identity, replication and multiplication. The volume strives at shedding light on the complexity of the relationship between early modern and ancient literature, perfectly summed up in the motto written by Pietro Aretino in a letter to his friend the painter Giulio Romano in 1542: 'Essere modernamente antichi e anticamente moderni'. 298 pp. Englisch.…
