Christianity Under Islam in Jerusalem: The Question of the Holy Sites in Early Ottoman Times
ISBN: 9789004120426 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A major issue in nineteenth-century world politics, the question of Christianity's holiest shrines in Jerusalem is covered by a large body of literature.

Much less is known about this problem in earlier times, when the Ottoman Empire was still a dominant power able to propose solutions free of foreign interference and outside pressures.

Excellence and Precedence: Medieval Islamic Discourse on Legitimate Leadership
ISBN: 9789004120433 / Angielski / Twarda / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book stresses that all early factions,...

The views raised by the group were not generally accepted, as...

Hypothetical Syllogistic and Stoic Logic
ISBN: 9789004120730 / Angielski / Twarda / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume traces the development of Aristotle's hypothetical syllogistic through antiquity, and shows for the first time how it later became misidentified with the logic of the rival Stoic school. By charting the origins of this error, the book illuminates elements of Aristotelian logic that have been obscured for almost two thousand years, and raises important issues concerning the distinctive roles of semantic and syntactic analysis in theories of logical consequence. The first chapters of the book deal with the original Aristotelian hypothetical syllogistic, and explain how Aristotle's...
