This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this study, the authors discuss two major topics in Proclus the Neoplatonist, which are interesting from a metaphysical and an epistemological point of view. Specifically, based on Proclus' Commentary on Plato's Parmenides and Theology of Plato, they investigate first the metaphysical archetypal world and its projections in the natural world and, second the monistic polytheism and the 'agonizing adventures' of analogy as an ontological and methodological method. The two chapters share as their common basis the feasibility of a relationship between the metaphysical and the physical world and are incorporated into a broader theoretical objective: to highlight certain aspects of the way in which Proclus persistently establishes the monistic paradigm, both ontologically and epistemologically. Having in mind the dualistic paradigm adopted by Plato, the main question is whether Neoplatonism constitutes a natural linear continuation of early Platonism or a different School of thought. 128 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Dialogue as an interpersonal relationship is man's greatest competence, the summit of all possible manifestations of humanity. It is the ability to conduct a Dialogue that gives us humans dignity. Through Dialogue, we discover the entire mystery of humanity. Without Dialogue, man becomes a beast who does not understand himself, let alone another human being. Dialogue is not limited to words; it is a space that is revealed between us. Each of us is a word; hence, we have the ancient Greek formula defining what is found between spoken words (dia - logoi). How we manage the space that separates us depends only on us. This book is a collection of essays exploring the essence of Dialogue. This publication is the third edition of this book, which the author has been working on for many years. The author's literary style of writing makes this difficult subject more accessible to everyone. 250 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This monograph aspires to be no more than a preliminary analytical survey of Polish-Belgian relations in the years 1945-1980 in their political, cultural-educational, economic and commercial aspects. The chief aim was to identify the dynamics of these relations, establishing when and why they were most productive, and when they deteriorated and dropped to freezing point. The authors' findings were based primarily on extensive archival research, which included documents stored in the New Records Archive (AAN), and the Foreign Ministry Archive (AMSZ) in Warsaw. Archival research in Belgium brought far poorer results, though relatively broad access to the 'Polish series' in the Belgian Foreign Affairs Archives (Archives du Ministère des Affaires étrangères Belges) was gained. 380 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Blackness Personified examines media representations of U.S. Blackness in post-reunification Germany. It explains how images create common narratives about race that are shared across linguistic, cultural, and geographic borders. It demonstrates how the media visually configures and defines Blackness and national belonging. Using principles of rhetorical theory, visual rhetoric, and critical race and ethnic studies, this book illustrates how the media can exacerbate racial misperceptions and stereotypes even when the intent is celebration, not denigration. It is a textual argument for the rejection of colorblindness in our increasingly multi-racial, multi-ethnic societies. It explores: How do media representations of U.S. Blackness create tropes and stereotypes about Blackness How are those visual definitions globally adopted and circulated Blackness Personified illustrates how racial bias travels, takes root, and impacts the world, no translation needed. 196 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This edited collection explores the multifaceted experiences of post-socialist generations in Southeast Europe through the lens of postmemory. At different levels of analysis, the concept of 'memory in transition' highlights a historical period where radical changes and transformations are shaping different, non-linear, and often ambiguous narrations of the socialist past and, in some cases, of its violent end. The various chapters examine the reverberations of this memory in people's lived experience, as well as in politics, education and the urban memoryscape, in the context of geopolitical turmoil and generational change. The volume is a project initiated by the Balkan History Association in mid-summer 2022. 158 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book deploys the techniques of philosophical reflection to examine obstacles to Kenya's sovereignty and democracy. Twice in its short history (1963 and 2010), independent Kenya has promulgated constitutions that affirmed its sovereignty and commitment to democracy. In both instances, however, the constitutions were defaced through legislation and policies that sought to concentrate power in the presidency. Meanwhile, the country has also continued to grapple with neo-colonial pressure to serve global capitalism rather than its citizenry. Among the questions this book seeks to answer are: how do sovereignty, social contract, and representation interact within the contemporary Kenyan context Is Western liberal democracy, with its emphasis on the nation-state, elections, and party politics, practicable in a multicultural former colony such as Kenya And does Western imperialism still bear any responsibility for Kenya's predicament more than six decades after independence This book will be vital reading for those interested in contemporary African politics, and post-colonialism in general. 196 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Versailles Order and the Making of Albania, 1918-1926 offers a compelling analysis of Albania's struggle for statehood in the aftermath of the First World War. Focusing on the diplomatic and political battles at the Paris Peace Conference, the League of Nations, and the Conference of Ambassadors, the study examines how Albania's sovereignty and borders were debated, delayed, and ultimately recognised.

Drawing on various archival sources, this monograph reveals how early 20th-century diplomacy shaped Albania's political destiny. It highlights the role of diaspora, elites, and Western-oriented reformers in resisting dismemberment and asserting national identity. 354 pp. Englisch.…
