Mulla Sadra Shirazi: His Life and Works and the Sources for Safavid Philosophy
ISBN: 9780199297429 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mulla Sadra Shirazi is the first attempt in English to produce a thorough preparatory study of the intellectual biography of this famous Safavid thinker. Previous attempts by other thinkers have been marred by ideological prejudice and the lack of serious intellectual rigour. A proper understanding of Islamic intellectual history requires the study of canonical thinkers, of which Mulla Sadra is certainly one in the philosophical tradition of Iran. The book eschews legends and theoretical constructs of bibliography in favour of a rigorous life that draws upon a wide range of primary sources,...

The Excavations at Tell Al Rimah: The Pottery
ISBN: 9780856687006 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite extensive excavation over several centuries our knowledge of the Middle Assyrian period has continued to be sparse, largely because of the impossibility of undertaking excavations in an area which has been continually occupied up to the present day. In 1963 therefore it was decided that more information would be gained by excavating in the less settled areas outside the Tigris valley and Tell al Rimah, which lies south of Tell Afar. It was chosen as a site which would yield material which would flesh out the bones of second millennium history and archaeology in Assyria. This volume is...

The Uncertain Phoenix: Adventures Toward a Post-Cultural Sensibility
ISBN: 9780823210534 / Angielski / Twarda / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Uncertain Phoenix is primarily an attempt at cultural self-understanding, based upon our Western experiences, and projected beyond them to the East. For, one of the ways in which Western society might develop is toward a style of creative experience reminiscent of Taoism in China, especially now that the strengths of Western philosophy have been fully extended, if not indeed exhausted. Certainly we are rapidly approaching the limits to our growth and our dominance over nature, society, and human life. In Dr. Hall's view, such control or dominance has been the governing factor in the...

ISBN: 9781409426899 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In his examination of the excavation of ancient Assyria by Austen Henry Layard, Shawn Malley reveals how, by whom, and for what reasons the stones of Assyria were deployed during a brief but remarkably intense period of archaeological activity in the mid-nineteenth century. His book encompasses the archaeological practices and representations that originated in Layard's excavations, radiated outward by way of the British Museum and Layard's best-selling Nineveh and Its Remains (1849), and were then dispersed into the public domain of popular amusements. That the stones of Assyria resonated in...
