A State of Mixture: Christians, Zoroastrians, and Iranian Political Culture in Late Antiquityvolume 56
ISBN: 9780520292451 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Christian communities flourished during late antiquity in a Zoroastrian political system, known as the Iranian Empire, that integrated culturally and geographically disparate territories from Arabia to Afghanistan into its institutions and networks. Whereas previous studies have regarded Christians as marginal, insular, and often persecuted participants in this empire, Richard Payne demonstrates their integration into elite networks, adoption of Iranian political practices and imaginaries, and participation in imperial institutions. The rise of Christianity in Iran depended on the...

The Clash with Distant Cultures: Values, Interests, and Force in American Foreign Policy
ISBN: 9780791426487 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Whereas foreign policymaking is generally viewed as a rational, unemotional, and sophisticated process, this analysis of American policies toward the Persian Gulf, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the Bosnian conflict suggests that the underlying and largely unexamined cultural values of most ordinary Americans play a major role in determining the United States' choice of force or negotiation in dealing with international problems. Payne examines the linkage between the United States' tendency to use force in foreign policy and the culture of violence in America. He argues that the costs...

An Analytical Inquiry Into the Principles of Taste
ISBN: 9781108067133 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Classical scholar, art collector and connoisseur Richard Payne Knight (1751 1824) took a keen interest in aesthetics and was a key figure in the debate on the picturesque. Of independent means, he journeyed across Europe, often in the company of artists. His home, Downton Castle in Herefordshire, set the fashion for crenellations. He sat in Parliament from 1780 to 1806, but beauty interested him more than politics. Following important works on aesthetics by such writers as Edmund Burke and Uvedale Price, Knight published his most successful work in 1805, cementing his reputation as an...

An Inquiry Into the Symbolical Language of Ancient Art and Mythology
ISBN: 9781108028103 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This influential work of 1818 by dilettante and critic Richard Payne Knight (1751 1824) has stood the test of time. The study investigates the sexual symbolism of the art of different religions, providing a key to the mythology of the ancients and fostering a clear understanding of the canons and principles of art. An eminent art historian, collector and textual critic, Knight led the way in convincing British taste that Roman art was inferior to Greek, arguing that Greek art was the more authentic and original. Here, he calls for more correct versions of Homer, Plato and other Hellenic...

Discourse and Ideology in Medieval Japanese Buddhism
ISBN: 9780415359177 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The medieval period of Japanese religious history is commonly known as one in which there was a radical transformation of the religious culture. This book suggests an alternate approach to understanding the dynamics of that transformation. One main topic of analysis focuses on what Buddhism - its practices and doctrines, its traditions and institutions - meant for medieval Japanese peoples themselves. This is achieved by using the notions of discourse and ideology and juxtaposing various topics on shared linguistic practices and discursive worlds of medieval Japanese...

Luminous Bliss: A Religious History of Pure Land Literature in Tibet
ISBN: 9780824872823 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. With an annotated English translation and critical analysis of the Orgyan-gling gold manuscript of the short Sukhavativyuha-sutra Pure Land Buddhism as a whole has received comparatively little attention in Western studies on Buddhism despite the importance of "buddha-fields" (pure lands) for the growth and expression of Mahayana Buddhism. In this first religious history of Tibetan Pure Land literature, Georgios Halkias delves into a rich collection of literary, historical, and archaeological sources to highlight important aspects of this neglected pan-Asian Buddhist tradition. He... With an annotated English translation and critical analysis of the Orgyan-gling gold manuscript of the short Sukhavativyuha-sutra Pure Land B... |

Aspiring to Enlightenment: Pure Land Buddhism in Silla Korea
ISBN: 9780824897864 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Centered on the practice of seeking rebirth in the Pure Land paradise Sukhāvatī, the Amitābha cult has been the dominant form of Buddhism in Korea since the middle of the Silla period (ca. 300–935). In Aspiring to Enlightenment, Richard McBride combines analyses of scriptural, exegetical, hagiographical, epigraphical, art historical, and literary materials to provide an episodic account of the cult in Silla times and its rise in an East Asian context through the mutually interconnected perspectives of doctrine and practice. McBride demonstrates that the Pure Land tradition emerging in...

An Analytical Essay on the Greek Alphabet
ISBN: 9781108066020 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1791, this work by classical scholar and connoisseur Richard Payne Knight (1751 1824) attempts to reconstruct the original pronunciation of ancient Greek. Emphasising the importance of knowing what the various ancient dialects sounded like in order to better appreciate surviving works of ancient literature, Knight engages in textual criticism of certain notable writings, including the poetry of Homer and Hesiod and the plays of Sophocles. Representing a learned contribution to classical philology, the essay also goes some way towards analysing the ways in which Greek...

Language in the Buddhist Tantra of Japan: Indic Roots of Mantra
ISBN: 9781350152090 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Language in the Buddhist Tantra of Japan dismantles the preconception that Buddhism is a religion of mystical silence, arguing that language is in fact central to the Buddhist tradition. By examining the use of `extraordinary language'-evocations calling on the power of the Buddha-in Japanese Buddhist Tantra, Richard K. Payne shows that such language was not simply cultural baggage carried by Buddhist practitioners from South to East Asia. Rather, such language was a key element in the propagation of new forms of belief and practice. In contrast to Western approaches to the philosophy of...
