Book The School of Salamanca in the Affairs of the Indies

Download or read book The School of Salamanca in the Affairs of the Indies written by Natsuko Matsumori and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The School of Salamanca in the Affairs of the Indies explores the significance of Salamancans, such as Vitoria and Soto, and related thinkers, such as Las Casas and Sepúlveda, in the formation of the early modern political order. It also analyses early modern understandings of political order, with a focus both on the decline of the medieval universal world through the independence and secularization of political community and the establishment of continuous and imbalanced relations between various European and non-European political communities. Through its investigation, this book highlights how Salamancans and related thinkers clearly distinguished their understandings of political order from medieval thought, and did so in a different way to contemporary and later thinkers, such as Machiavelli, Luther, Bodin, and Grotius, particularly with regards to the Indies, “barbarian” worlds. It also reveals the strong contribution of the School of Salamanca in early modern political thought, both internally and externally. Salamancans imposed moral restrictions against “interior barbarism,” that is, power beyond law, and included “exterior barbarism,” that is, “barbarian” societies, in the common political order. Situating the School of Salamanca in the mainstream history of European political thought, The School of Salamanca in the Affairs of the Indies is ideal for academics and postgraduate students of intellectual history and of Spanish colonial expansion.

Download or read book RESUMEN The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order written by Shortcut Edition and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Al leer este resumen, aprender? que los conflictos del ma?ana tendr?n su origen en las diferencias culturales. Los conflictos entre bloques ideol?gicos heredados de la Guerra Fr?a han dado paso al "choque de civilizaciones". Tambi?n aprender? : que la historia de los hombres es la historia de las civilizaciones; que el mundo se ha vuelto multipolar y multicivilizacional que la econom?a y la demograf?a desempe?an un papel esencial en la evoluci?n de las civilizaciones que el mundo est? experimentando una aut?ntica recomposici?n en torno a bloques culturales que las civilizaciones extienden sus ?reas de influencia en c?rculos conc?ntricos que el universalismo occidental nacido en el siglo XVIII est? al final de su cuerda. Occidente est? indiscutiblemente en declive. Atrapado entre el deslumbrante desarrollo de China, una superpotencia virtual, y la impugnaci?n cada vez m?s radical de sus valores por parte del fundamentalismo isl?mico, ya no es el faro indiscutible de la civilizaci?n planetaria. La cuesti?n esencial es saber si, en este nuevo mundo multipolar, liquidada la herencia de la Guerra Fr?a, las civilizaciones con intereses divergentes podr?n coexistir pac?ficamente; o si, por el contrario, se dirigen inevitablemente hacia el enfrentamiento armado: un conflicto de nuevo tipo, y ciertamente de una violencia desconocida hasta hoy; ?sta es la verdadera amenaza para la paz mundial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Ethnobiology presents a unique approach to analyzing human-nature interactions, using theoretical and methodological aspects to examine historical scientific knowledge. This book disseminates the notion that past local narratives of biodiversity influence the determination of both historical and modern scientific decisions. Beginning with a brief history of ethnobiology’s development, this book delves into conceptual models, historical knowledge areas, and the theoretical matrix of ethnobiology. This book also focuses on the importance of memory including topics of memory production by human in different epochs and how individual memory records contribute to social history and the understanding of the past effects of human interaction with nature. Looking ahead, it discusses the importance of records such as these for determining future mankind’s relationships with nature to preserve biodiversity and ensure conservation. Historical Ethnobiology is the first book to focus on past human-nature interactions and their interpretations in today’s scientific culture. This book is an excellent resource for students and researchers in biology, ethnobiology, and anthropology. Presents an inclusive interpretation and use of historical botanical, zoological and geographical registers kept in institutions to reconnect the past with modern issues Illuminates documental analysis of past interactions between humans and nature Provides a comprehensive and accessible reference point to provide insights into a rapidly growing field
