Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In un’epoca come quella attuale, in cui le religioni hanno ricominciato a essere campo di durissimi scontri, questo libro è un benvenuto antidoto. Richard Holloway, già vescovo di Edimburgo, racconta la storia delle religioni – dalle prime credenze fino al ventunesimo secolo – con rispetto profondo per le diversità culturali e di fede. Il discorso prende le mosse dalle due domande fondamentali che stanno all’origine del sentimento religioso: «Che cosa succede dopo la morte? E da dove vengono il mondo e l’universo?» Da qui inizia il percorso in cui ci guida Holloway, alla scoperta dei concetti fondamentali e delle grandi dottrine, dottrine che hanno inizialmente fornito le risposte che gli uomini cercavano, senza dubbio, ma hanno anche armato schiere di fedeli mettendoli gli uni contro gli altri. La religione ha causato e continua a causare alcune delle peggiori forme di violenza della storia. Ed è per questo che dovremmo accostarla con grande cautela, avvicinandola con umiltà, riconoscendo sia il male sia il bene che ha fatto. Un trattato di tolleranza, scritto per i credenti e i non credenti, e soprattutto per lettori giovani, perché non crescano con pregiudizi e possano mantenere la loro mente aperta verso tutti i misteri.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Italian Politics written by Erik Jones and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 801 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Italian Politics provides a comprehensive look at the political life of one of Europe's most exciting and turbulent democracies. Under the hegemonic influence of Christian Democracy in the early post-World War II decades, Italy went through a period of rapid growth and political transformation. In part this resulted in tumult and a crisis of governability; however, it also gave rise to innovation in the form of Eurocommunism and new forms of political accommodation. The great strength of Italy lay in its constitution; its great weakness lay in certain legacies of the past. Organized crime—popularly but not exclusively associated with the mafia—is one example. A self-contained and well entrenched 'caste' of political and economic elites is another. These weaknesses became apparent in the breakdown of political order in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This ushered in a combination of populist political mobilization and experimentation with electoral systems design, and the result has been more evolutionary than transformative. Italian politics today is different from what it was during the immediate post-World War II period, but it still shows many of the influences of the past.

Download or read book Alba Longa written by Riccardo Bellucci and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where was Alba Longa? Over the centuries, this question has stimulated the most varied conjectures, by scholars, poets, historians, philologists and, of course, archaeologists. Fantasy has often merged with reality, myth with history. All of these hypotheses present some credible data, but mixed with more improbable aspects drawn from either ancient writers or uncorroborated documents. This, in turn, has led to incompatibilities between the hypotheses and the reality of archaeological excavations. The scholar Riccardo Bellucci, after years of systematic research, now proposes a coherent and consistent solution to the location of the Mater Urbis, in a previously unsuspected area. The motivation, intuition and documentation that has led Bellucci to decide on his theory, will fascinate everyone; and stimulate debate on the truth of his conclusions. The book then goes beyond the story of Alba Longa itself to provide further fascinating detail related to the area.
Download or read book Eranos written by Hans Thomas Hakl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year since 1933 many of the world's leading intellectuals have met on Lake Maggiore to discuss the latest developments in philosophy, history, art and science and, in particular, to explore the mystical and symbolic in religion. The Eranos Meetings - named after the Greek word for a banquet where the guests bring the food - constitute one of the most important gatherings of scholars in the twentieth century. The book presents a set of portraits of some of the century's most influential thinkers, all participants at Eranos: Carl Jung, Erich Neumann, Mircea Eliade, Martin Buber, Walter Otto, Paul Tillich, Gershom Scholem, Herbert Read, Joseph Campbell, Erwin Schrodinger, Karl Kereyni, D.T. Suzuki, and Adolph Portmann. The volume presents a critical appraisal of the views of these men, how the exchange of ideas encouraged by Eranos influenced each, and examines the attraction of these esotericists towards authoritarian politics.
Download or read book The Regression Clause of iGen written by Renata Freccero and published by Edizioni Altravista. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today the regression clause of iGen comes from a number of elements, including the “lack of cultural capital”, because of a kind of human habit to live suspended between a real and virtual world. The forgetfulness of the real body also produces fallout series on mental health up to cause behavioral cognitive disorders. The identity of the human race is aware of mutual recognition among the living, but only individuals who possess the moral sense are able to share and understand this meaning. The identity is constructed through the recognition of the other (Galimberti U., 2007, p. 33). Europe will see more and more prevailing Metissage, but the integration meets a weak resilience in particular by later generations over the years compared to youngsters still in school age. The @generation is the next new nationality, and should be better monitored. Motricity of @generation is now mainly limited to the use of two inches, committed spasmodically, anywhere texting to the Community which corresponds the homeostatic super organism which is the global network. Investing in school sports for a longer time and more awareness promote the bodily kinesthetic intelligence and assess alterations in favour of better physical, mental and moral sense balance.

Download or read book Studying Religion Past and Present written by Nickolas P. Roubekas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating the contributions of Panayotis Pachis to the field, this book discusses the past, present, and future of the study of religion in antiquity and modernity. Panayotis Pachis has dedicated his celebrated career at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki to the study of various aspects of ancient religions. The contents of this book reflect Pachis' conviction that the study of religious ideas and practices should be focused on three pillars: the study of history, the formulation and application of theoretical frameworks, and the utilization of traditional as well as innovative methodological tools. Chapters range from the scientific study of Roman-Graeco religions, cultural evolution, and neurocognitive theories in the history and study of religion, to a look at why we need an integrative approach to study religion, past and present.

Download or read book The Right to Vegetarianism written by Carlo Prisco and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-12-07 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that vegetarian and vegan people should be guaranteed the right to eat according to their beliefs. The author claims that the right to vegetarianism is backed by the human and civil rights recognized in the constitutions of several nations. The first half of the book is based on the history of the main philosophical issues involved in eating plant food, from Phytagoras to Francione, while the second part is intended to compare different western legal systems and their report with human and animal rights. The Right to Vegetarianism represents a cross between animal and human rights and also serves as a proposal to support veganism from a different approach: not just as an animal right not yet recognized by the law, but also as a human right, already enforced by the law.
