The Souls of Purgatory: The Spiritual Diary of a Seventeenth-Century Afro-Peruvian Mystic, Ursula de Jesus
ISBN: 9780826328281 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The life of the black religious servant Ursula de Jesus (1604-1666) has remained one of the best-kept historical secrets of the New World. This English language translation of the diary she began in 1650 allows us to hear the voice of the former slave turned spiritualist. Born into slavery in Lima, Peru, Ursula entered a convent at the age of thirteen to serve a nun, and spent the next twenty-eight years as one of hundreds of slaves whose exhausting daily work afforded little time to contemplate religious matters. After surviving a potentially fatal accident, she chose a spiritual path,...

Dreams and Visions: An Interdisciplinary Enquiry
ISBN: 9789004179714 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Dreams and Visions have constituted an important topic and point of departure in the past; but also continue to play a present role in literature, political thought, economic theory, and in the arts. An essential historical topos, Dreams and Visions--the second in a series that projects past issues into the present--brings significant contributions from an interdisciplinary spectrum of standpoints in order to discover fresh insights. Perhaps this is the essence, in any case, of "Vision"--to discover new, fresh ways of conceptualizing a problem, topic, or historical enquiry, which is...

Cicero Refused to Die: Ciceronian Influence through the Centuries
ISBN: 9789004243446 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 8 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cicero has indeed refused to die, despite the fact that he, in the year 43 BC, was savagely put to death, a preposterous event that brought an end to the long and illustrious career of a lawyer, politician, statesman, praetor, consul, and above all, intellectual, philosopher, writer. His works on The Ideal Orator, On Law, On Academic Life, On Supreme Good and Evil, The Nature of Gods, Foretelling the Future, Destiny, and Duties constituted the basis of a thorough study of Latin for many centuries of students. One might also, however,...

Chastity: A Study in Perception, Ideals, Opposition
ISBN: 9789004166714 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Chastity as a topic is an ideal interdisciplinary consideration since it accesses iconographical representation, the philosophical issues of purity, morality, and of innocence; the legal issues of loss and punishment, the historical issues of celibacy, and the legislation that topic evoked; as well as the role of chastity as a literary topos in Late Antiquity as well as the Middle Ages, for example, in medieval commentary traditions and within medieval vernacular literatures. The topic of Chastity, as well as its opposing characteristics, thus provides an arena for a discussion of the...

Theology and Music at the Early University: The Case of Robert Grosseteste and Anonymous IV
ISBN: 9789004100596 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. At the climax of one of his most important and comprehensive works, De cessatione legalium, the thirteenth-century theologian and natural philosopher, Robert Grosseteste, uses a musical example to make a point fundamental to the treatise. Music, using time as its material, located between the abstract and the concrete, served as an analogy, thus making a difficult philosophical concept perceptible. In using music as an analogy, Gorsseteste drew upon a long tradition established by Augustine, confirmed within the new Aristotelian reception, and a newly-translated Platonic dialogue. But...

ISBN: 9789004212459 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The topic of mobs has resonances in a remarkable number of disciplines and provides a link between past and present--mobs are clearly of much importance today. The idea of mobs provides the context for all the essays and topics in this volume -- from Heraclitus to the writings of Elias Canetti to the notion of internet mobs. The essays here speak to the complex nature of the mob: its defining characteristics and the varying consequences of its behavior. Mobs as a book brings wide-ranging clarity to a topic that touches such disciplines as medieval studies, literature, musicology, theology and...

Time: Sense, Space, Structure
ISBN: 9789004310025 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The essays in this volume explore the nature of time, our God-given medium of ascent, known, as Augustine puts it, through the ordered study of the "liberal disciplines that carry the mind to the divine (disciplinae liberales intellectum efferunt ad divina)" grammar and dialectic, for example, to promote thinking; geometry and astronomy to grasp the dimensions of our reality; music, an invisible substance like time itself, as an exemplary bridge to the unseen substance of thoughts, ideas, and the nature of God (theology). This ascending course of study rests on procedure, progress, and...
