Download or read book The Body in Early Modern Italy written by Julia L. Hairston and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human bodies have been represented and defined in various ways across different cultures and historical periods. As an object of interpretation and site of social interaction, the body has throughout history attracted more attention than perhaps any other element of human experience. The essays in this volume explore the manifestations of the body in Italian society from the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries. Adopting a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, these fresh and thought-provoking essays offer original perspectives on corporeality as understood in the early modern literature, art, architecture, science, and politics of Italy. An impressively diverse group of contributors comment on a broad range and variety of conceptualizations of the body, creating a rich dialogue among scholars of early modern Italy.

Download or read book La Dottrina segreta dei Rosacroce written by Magus Incognito and published by Venexia Editrice. This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partendo da un'analisi dell'antica tradizione e della dottrina segreta dei Rosacroce, l'autore ne approfondisce lasimbologia più occulta attraverso alcuni aforismi fondamentali e l'interpretazione della loro rappresentazione grafica. Tra gli altri argomenti, esamina l'unità della materia, i piani di coscienza, la metempsicosi e i sette principi cosmici che governano l'Universo. Tali principi si rifanno alla tradizione alchemica più classica il cui insegnamento per analogia viene ripreso da Magus Incognito. "Così in alto, come in basso", durante il proprio soggiorno sulla terra, l'anima umana progredisce in una sequenza il cui moto si evolve a forma di spirale e che conduce verso la propria evoluzione e liberazione. Illustrato con i 12 simboli dei Rosacroce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume si occupa dell’istituto dell’amministrazione di sostegno, nuova disciplina introdotta nel codice civile con la legge n. 6 del 2004, che ha istituito una nuova figura (quella dell’amministratore di sostegno, appunto) accanto agli altri istituti a tutela delle persone incapaci (interdizione, inabilitazione, incapacità naturale). Secondo quanto previsto dalla legge di riforma, infatti, tutti i soggetti che, a causa di una infermità o di una menomazione fisica o psichica si trovino nell’impossibilità (anche parziale o temporanea) di provvedere ai propri interessi, possono ora essere assistiti da un amministratore di sostegno, appositamente nominato dal giudice. Sono affrontati, tenendo conto della recente normativa e della giurisprudenza formatasi in materia, tutti gli aspetti caratterizzanti questo rivoluzionario istituto, a partire dal procedimento di nomina ad amministratore, per giungere agli effetti, alla responsabilità , fino alle possibili interferenze con altri istituti di diritto privato. STRUTTURA Parte I: L'amministrazione di sostegno. Parte II: Procedimento per la nomina dell’amministratore di sostegno Parte III: Effetti dell’amministrazione Parte IV: Cessazione dell’amministrazione Parte V: Vigilanza sull’amministratore Parte VI: Responsabilità dell’amministratore di sostegno Parte VII: Possibili interferenze tra la carica di amministratore e gli altri istituti a tutela degli incapaci (interdizione, inabilitazione) Parte VIII: Interventi alternativi all’amministrazione di sostegno Parte IX: “Grandi questioni” Il volume ricalca la struttura tipica del Trattato teorico pratico di diritto privato diretto da Guido Alpa e Salvatore Patti; come è proprio di volumi del Trattato, anche questo si chiude con una parte dedicata interamente alle “Grandi questioni”. All’interno è possibile trovare una selezione di casi che rappresentano una summa delle questioni di maggiore interesse, selezionate dall’autore, accompagnate da una soluzione data tenendo conto della normativa in materia e dalla più recente giurisprudenza.

Download or read book Byzantine Perspectives on Neoplatonism written by Sergei Mariev and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byzantine intellectuals not only had direct access to Neoplatonic sources in the original language but also, at times, showed a particular interest in them. During the Early Byzantine period Platonism significantly contributed to the development of Christian doctrines and, paradoxically, remained a rival world view that was perceived by many Christian thinkers as a serious threat to their own intellectual identity. This problematic relationship was to become even more complex during the following centuries. Byzantine authors made numerous attempts to harmonize Neoplatonic doctrines with Christianity as well as to criticize, refute and even condemn them. The papers assembled in this volume discuss a number of specific questions and concerns that drew the interest of Byzantine scholars in different periods towards Neoplatonic sources in an attempt to identify and explore the central issues in the reception of Neoplatonic texts during the Byzantine era. This is the first volume of the sub-series "Byzantinisches Archiv - Series Philosophica", which will be dedicated to the rapidly growing field of research in Byzantine philosophical texts.
Download or read book Giordano Bruno and the Kabbalah written by Karen Silvia DeLe¢n-Jones and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giordano Bruno (1548?1600), a defrocked Dominican monk, was convicted of heresy by the Roman Catholic Inquisition and burned at the stake in Rome. He had spent fifteen years wandering throughout Europe on the run from Counter-Reformation intelligence and eight years in prison under interrogation. The author of more than sixty works on mathematics, science, ethics, philosophy, metaphysics, the art of memory and esoteric mysticism, Bruno had a profound impact on Western thought. Until now his involvement with Jewish mysticism has never been fully explored. Karen Silvia de Le¢n-Jones presents an engaging and illuminating discussion of his mystical understanding and use of Jewish and Christian Kabbalah, theology, and philosophy, including the famous Hermetica, and especially his exploration and use of magic to reveal the mysteries of the universe and the divine.
