ISBN: 9780820445458 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The ultimate wisdom of Asia, brought to a focus in Zen House, is the realization that truth and reality must never be sought on the plane of opposition. It is the essence of idolatry to accord with what is less than the whole. Zen keeps humans away from the idolatry inherent in every form of partisanship. This sixteenth-century Chanjia Guijian (A Paragon of Zen House) has this distinct Zen spirit, which has been revealed in the eighth-century Liuzu Tanjing (The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch), the tenth-century Chuan Deng Lu (The Transmission of the...

Harmonious Disagreement: Matteo Ricci and His Closest Chinese Friends
ISBN: 9781433132414 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The fascinating story of Matteo Ricci (1552 1610) changing himself while trying to change the religious faith of the Chinese has been told many times. As a Jesuit, Ricci pushed Christian evangelism by claiming a theistic affinity with Confucianism and by presenting himself as a defender of Confucian orthodoxy from Buddhism. Already in his day, Ricci s unusual cultural adaptation was controversial; not surprisingly, scholarly studies have hitherto focused almost exclusively on variations of this controversy. Reacting mostly to Ricci s account of events, this line of research has provided...

ISBN: 9780820444604 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Modern Chinese painting embodies the constant renewal and reinvigorations of Chinese civilization amidst rebellions, reforms, and revolutions, even if the process may appear confusing and bewildering. It also demonstrates the persistence of tradition and limits of continuities and changes in modern Chinese cluture. Most significantly, it compels us to ask several important questions in the study of modern Chinese culture: How extensively can cultural tradition be re-interpreted before it is subverted? At what point is creative re-invention an act of betrayal of tradition? How has selective...

This book discusses the emergence of democracy s modernizing force in an exiled community with a political history based on a feudal theocracy. Since his exile almost forty years ago, the Dalai Lama and his government-in-exile have steered this fledgling democratic community toward the fulfillment of his dream of converting a theocracy to a democracy. The establishment of a tripartite government with separate powers and the development of a framework for a future democratic polity if and when Tibetans regain their land is a testament to the ongoing democratizing revolution."

Rethinking the Curriculum: Toward an Integrated, Interdisciplinary College Education
ISBN: 9780313273063 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is founded on the consensus that most of what passes for liberal studies and general education is so out of touch with today's world that it is simply beside the point. Not only does the curriculum fail to address contemporary reality, but when it does, it does so in such a fragmented form that little useful understanding can be extracted. For example, one of the chief inadequacies brought out by the text is the failure of current disciplines to deal with the inherent messiness and complexity of real world issues such as hunger, conflict, and pollution. As a result of this,... This book is founded on the consensus that most of what passes for liberal studies and general education is so out of touch with today's world that... |
