This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se pensiamo che Gesù pregava con i salmi ottenendo ottimi frutti per la sua vita spirituale ed il suo rapporto con Dio, anche noi dovremmo cercare di fare altrettanto per imitare la bella virtù di chi si è offerto all’ignominia della croce per la nostra salvezza. In questo libro, la preghiera va intesa come supporto nella vita di ogni giorno e come aiuto a passare indenni dalle tante trappole e le innumerevoli insidie che potremmo incontrare sul nostro cammino. E’ bene ricordare che tutti gli uomini sperimentano questa condizione di vita, nessuno è immune alla tentazione. Ne consegue che abbiamo bisogno di protezione e la preghiera unita alla meditazione è uno scudo potentissimo capace di fermare persino le guerre e capovolgere i destini dei popoli. E’ per tale motivo che in questa nuova versione del Libro dei Salmi, abbiamo voluto accostare un commento e una riflessione per ogni preghiera tratta da questo meraviglioso libro, nella convinzione che possa aiutare i lettori in cammino, a chiarire qualche dubbio e procedere lesti nel loro percorso spirituale che un giorno li condurrà direttamente tra le braccia di Dio.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pages of the Hebrew Bible, ancient Israel gave witness to its encounter with a profound and uncontrollable reality experienced through relationship.

God is described there, Brueggemann observes, as engaging four "partners" in the divine purpose.

Download or read book Heidegger and the Jews written by Donatella Di Cesare and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers have long struggled to reconcile Martin Heidegger's involvement in Nazism with his status as one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. The recent publication of his Black Notebooks has reignited fierce debate on the subject. These thousand-odd pages of jotted observations profoundly challenge our image of the quiet philosopher's exile in the Black Forest, revealing the shocking extent of his anti-Semitism for the first time. For much of the philosophical community, the Black Notebooks have been either used to discredit Heidegger or seen as a bibliographical detail irrelevant to his thought. Yet, in this new book, renowned philosopher Donatella Di Cesare argues that Heidegger's "metaphysical anti-Semitism" was a central part of his philosophical project. Within the context of the Nuremberg race laws, Heidegger felt compelled to define Jewishness and its relationship to his concept of Being. Di Cesare shows that Heidegger saw the Jews as the agents of a modernity that had disfigured the spirit of the West. In a deeply disturbing extrapolation, he presented the Holocaust as both a means for the purification of Being and the Jews' own "self-destruction": a process of death on an industrialized scale that was the logical conclusion of the acceleration in technology they themselves had brought about. Situating Heidegger's anti-Semitism firmly within the context of his thought, this groundbreaking work will be essential reading for students and scholars of philosophy and history as well as the many readers interested in Heidegger's life, work, and legacy.

Download or read book Takhy l written by G. J. H. van Gelder and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Takhyil is a term from Arabic poetics denoting the evocation of images. It has a broad spectrum of connotations throughout classical philosophical poetics and rhetoric, and it is closely linked to the Greek concept of phantasia. This volume is comprised of annotated translations of key texts on this topic from major philosophers and literary theoreticians, including Alfarabi (al-Farabi), Avicenna (Ibn Sina), Averroes (Ibn Rushd), and 'Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani. In her preface, the classicist Anne Sheppard relates takhyil to Greek poetics, and in his introduction, Wolfhart Heinrichs traces the development of the term in the Arabic tradition. The second part of the book contains eight studies on takhyil and various aspects of image-evocation and how it relates to musical theory, literary criticism and rhetoric. The opening essay is by Katrin Kohl, a specialist in European poetics, who places takhyil in the wider context of poetic universals.

Download or read book Medieval Narratives Between History and Fiction written by Panagiotis A. Agapitos and published by Museum Tusculanum Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The rise of literary fiction in medieval Europe has been a hotly debated topic among scholars for at least two decades, but until now that debate has come with severe limitations, focusing on ‘modern’ French and German romances of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Attempting to find common ground among scholars from various disciplines and regions, Medieval Narratives between History and Fiction seeks to clarify the subject by including a wide range of medieval narratives irrespective of their modern label and affiliation to certain disciplines. The chapters collected here broaden the discussion by moving beyond the canonical French and German romances, focusing mainly on texts in Greek, Latin and Old Norse (and also some in Serbian), and by opting for a ‘peripheral’ and a long-term view of the subject. The chapters take us from Graeco-Roman antiquity to medieval France, then to the Scandinavian lands and from there to south-eastern Europe and Byzantium as the link back to the Graeco-Roman world. This disposition also follows a spiral motion in time, leading us from antiquity to late antiquity and from the eleventh to the fifteenth century. By expanding the linguistic as well as the geographical and chronological scope of the debate, the book shows that we should not think of a ‘rise of fiction’ per se; rather, we should see fiction as a potential always imbued in and related to historical narratives – and recognize that non-fictional and non-vernacular writing are important for a modern understanding of medieval fiction."--
