At the same time, the book offers analytical summaries of texts otherwise difficult to find in English.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Persian Calligraphy and related traditional arts of books make up the most important forms of Iranian-Islamic art, which are still living practiced traditions up to today. This volume puts together a first-of-a-kind handbook and contains the most important termini technici as well as expressions and techniques connected to the traditional art of Persian calligraphy (mostly Nasta?liq), calligraphy tools such as the reed pen, paper and ink as well as some related fields, like ta?hib (illumination), tas?ir (historiated painting), book binding, etc. The content is based on thirty prominent classical Persian treatises, composed between twelfth and twentieth centuries. All terms and expressions are followed by an English description and often accompanied by an illustration. These expressions, which are key to understanding old calligraphic treatises and many relevant sources on Islamic art, are meant to familiarise the reader with both common and forgotten techniques and terminology of calligraphic traditions. The volume addresses not only the artists and scholars of Iranian and Islamic art history, but also those, who are dealt with Islamic and Iranian manuscripts, manuscript cultures, codicology and palaeography. Both the author and the editor of this volume are trained practicing calligraphers and illuminators, who learned the art of calligraphy and illumination through long, traditional study under masters of this art.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - During its Qajar period (1210-1344/1795-1925), Iran witnessed some lively and significant philosophical discourse. Yet apart from studies devoted to individual figures such as Mulla Hadi Sabzawari and Shaykh A?mad A?sa?i, modern scholarship has paid little attention to the animated discussions and vibrant traditions of philosophy that continued in Iran during this period. The articles assembled in this book present an account of the life, works and philosophical challenges taken up by seven major philosophers of the Qajar period. As a collection, the articles convey the range and diversity of Qajar philosophical thinking. Besides indigenous thoughts, the book also deals with the reception of European philosophy in Iran at the time.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Arab painting, preserved mainly in manuscript illustrations of the 12th to 14th centuries, is here treated as an artistic corpus fully deserving of appreciation in its own terms, and not as a mere precursor to Persian painting. The book assembles papers by a distinguished list of scholars that illuminate the variety of material that survives in scientific as well as literary manuscripts. Because of the contexts in which the paintings appear, a major theoretical concern is, precisely, the relationship of painting to text. It rejects earlier scholarly habits of analysing paintings in isolation, and proposes the integration of text and image as a more satisfactory framework within which to elucidate the characteristics and functions of this impressive body of work.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book provides an in-depth discussion of the cultural and missional implications of the explosion of charismatic Christianity on mainline denominations in Africa. The book proposes that the charismatization of mainline churches is a contextual, missional, and transcultural phenomenon that enriches and invigorates African Christian communities.

It proposes a holistic and contextual understanding of the Prosperity Gospel, understood as the mafanikio gospel in Tanzania, as a relevant theological resource for Lutherans in Dar-es-Salaam. In doing so, it intends to contribute to the needed paradigm shift in theological discourses around Prosperity Gospel to challenge stereotypical criticisms that label it false and misleading. 294 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book is the outcome of an original and interdisciplinary undertaking by the Academy of Young Scholars and Artists based in Wroclaw, Poland. One of the fundamental objectives of the Academy is to improve and foster communication between outstanding representatives of various fields of science, the humanities and art. In this regard to close the gap between the sciences, humanities and the arts and replace it with a unifying yet diverse vision of human cognition - a group of over 50 scholars and artists were asked to present their perspectives on the concepts of 'complexity' and 'simplicity' in the form of articles or artworks that made reference to their specific disciplines. Hence, the material presented in this compilation may serve as an interdisciplinary source of inspiration for a wide variety of readers. The choice of the main theme - complexity, simplicity, and the various kinds of thought-provoking dialectics unfolding between these - was motivated by a comprehensive and ongoing debate observable in the area of the methodology of the sciences as well as in various spheres of art.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Sixteen Kingdoms (304-439) saw Northern China become a multiethnic mosaic of states and statelets, one of which was Western Liang (400-422) in modern Gansu province at the edge of the Silk Roads. Its founder Li Hao was a Han settler on soil only recently annexed to the Empire. Here, immigrants ruled semi-nomadic locals, while elsewhere, non-Chinese ruling houses dealt with local Chinese elites. Their interaction, here seen close up in the life and times of Li Hao, had a lasting formative influence on Chinese culture and society for centuries to come.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In Ethics and Analogy (Qiya s) in 5th/11th-Century Islamic Legal Theory Felicitas Opwis presents how ?Abd al-Jabba r, Abu l-H?usayn al-Bas?ri , al-Dabbu si , al-Shi ra zi , and al-Juwayni relate the ethical status of acts to their legal norm, and whether they apply the ethical content of divine rulings in the procedure of analogy when extending laws to new circumstances. The study draws attention to theological worldview as an explanatory factor of norm construction and a jurist's approach to identifying the ratio legis of divine rulings. The book traces the shift, fully articulated later by al-Ghaza li , toward understanding the purpose of the divine law as attaining people's mas?lah?a in this life, which enables extending the law outside of Scripture and supports Ash?ari legal universalism.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This volume sheds new light on the intellectual history of the Renaissance by focusing on the neglected paradigm of scholasticism. Its chapters aim to recast our present understanding of familiar features of Renaissance thought by showing that many of the assumed innovations of the period took place as a result of a dialogue between plural traditions of scholasticism and the emerging methods of humanism. Written by a team of internationally recognized experts, the volume seeks to further enfranchise scholasticism as an integral aspect of Renaissance intellectual history and explain its value to the study of humanism and early modern philosophy. An interview with author Amos Edelheit about this book can be viewed here on YouTube.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Following the murder of George Floyd in 2020, monuments became a focal point: protestors toppled or spray-painted them, even danced on them. These politically, visually, and emotionally potent events may have looked instantaneous, yet frequently sprang from years of activism, as well as protracted political and academic debate. Toppling Things challenges stereotypical notions monument topplings as riotous, spontaneous, or irrational. Bringing together the ideas and emotions, the uncertainty and convictions, of artists, activists, and academics, the volume rejects a neatly tied-up, distant narrative. As it sheds light on the global, personal, immediate, and historical processes around the fall of a monument, the volume engages directly with the complexity of toppling activism and monument removal as a form of lived experience.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Extraterritoriality is often understood as an exceptional, sometimes even illegitimate, form of state lawmaking--yet it is pervasive in contemporary practice. Countries around the world rely on extraterritorial regulation to protect local markets, in areas including competition law and data privacy. It is also recognized as a useful strategy to promote international human rights, and to address shared challenges as diverse as transnational crime, tax base erosion, and climate change. The normalization of extraterritoriality as a legal technique, however, has by no means resolved longstanding debates about its place in the international legal order. Containing in-depth studies of fifteen legal systems, this volume provides a critical comparative perspective on those debates.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Rooted in a range of approaches to the reception of classical drama, the chapters in this book reflect, in one way or another, that Greek and Roman drama in performance is an ongoing dialogue between the culture(s) of the original and the target culture of its translation/adaptation/performance. The individual case studies highlight the various ways in which the tradition of Greek and Roman plays in performance has been extremely productive, but also the ways in which it has engaged, at times dangerously, in political and social discourse.…
