Download or read book Translation and the Spanish Empire in the Americas written by Roberto A. Valdeón and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two are the starting points of this book. On the one hand, the use of Doña Marina/La Malinche as a symbol of the violation of the Americas by the Spanish conquerors as well as a metaphor of her treason to the Mexican people. On the other, the role of the translations of Bartolomé de las Casas’s Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias in the creation and expansion of the Spanish Black Legend. The author aims to go beyond them by considering the role of translators and interpreters during the early colonial period in Spanish America and by looking at the translations of the Spanish chronicles as instrumental in the promotion of other European empires. The book discusses literary, religious and administrative documents and engages in a dialogue with other disciplines that can provide a more nuanced view of the role of translation, and of the mediators, during the controversial encounter/clash between Europeans and Amerindians.

Download or read book Scholastica Colonialis written by Roberto Hofmeister Pich and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of studies on Latin American scholasticism originally presented at the Fourth International Conference of Medieval Philosophy at the Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Porto Alegre, Brazil, November 12-14, 2012. These essays provide a significant overview of authors, works and areas of interest associated to scholastic thought in the 16th-18th centuries, focusing particularly on Latin American or European-born authors whose philosophical and theological careers were significantly set in Latin American soil and, due to their education, reveal a profound acquaintance with European philosophical theories and problems. The reception and development of Medieval thought in Baroque scholasticism, the connections between European philosophy, mainly Iberian scholasticism, and philosophical-theological debates in the New World, and the revisiting by Latin American scholars of Medieval schools of thought and theoretical patterns taught in Europe, prompted by the encounter with several peoples living in the new continent and the search and justification for models of colonization, are some of the relevant issues discussed in here. The studies collected in this volume place colonial scholasticism in the history of ideas by letting authors and their writings speak for themselves.

Download or read book At the Origins of Modernity written by José María Beneyto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on an international project conducted by the Institute for European Studies of the University CEU San Pablo in Madrid and a seminar on Vitoria and International Law which took place on July 2nd 2015 in the convent of San Esteban, the place where Vitoria spent his most productive years as Chair of Theology at the University of Salamanca. It argues that Vitoria not only lived at a time bridging the Middle Ages and Modernity, but also that his thoughts went beyond the times he lived in, giving us inspiration for meeting current challenges that could also be described as “modern” or even post-modern. There has been renewed interest in Francisco de Vitoria in the last few years, and he is now at the centre of a debate on such central international topics as political modernity, colonialism, the discovery of the “Other” and the legitimation of military interventions. All these subjects include Vitoria’s contributions to the formation of the idea of modernity and modern international law. The book explores two concepts of modernity: one referring to the post-medieval ages and the other to our times. It discusses the connections between the challenges that the New World posed for XVIth century thinkers and those that we are currently facing, for example those related to the cyberworld. It also addresses the idea of international law and the legitimation of the use of force, two concepts that are at the core of Vitoria’s texts, in the context of “modern” problems related to a multipolar world and the war against terrorism. This is not a historical book on Vitoria, but a very current one that argues the value of Vitoria’s reflections for contemporary issues of international law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Companion aims to give an up-to-date overview of the historical context and the conceptual framework of Spanish imperial expansion during the early modern period, mostly during the 16th century. It intends to offer a nuanced and balanced account of the complexities of this historically controversial period analyzing first its historical underpinnings, then shedding light on the normative language behind imperial theorizing and finally discussing issues that arose with the experience of the conquest of American polities, such as colonialism, slavery or utopia. The aim of this volume is to uncover the structural and normative elements of the theological, legal and philosophical arguments about Spanish imperial ambitions in the early modern period.

Download or read book Translating Catechisms Translating Cultures written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translating Catechisms, Translating Cultures explores the dimensions of early modern transcultural Christianities; the leeway of religious negotiation in and outside of Europe by comparing catechisms and their translation in the context of several Jesuit missionary strategies. The volume challenges the often assumed paramount Europeanness of Western Christianity. In the early modern period the idea of Tridentine Catholicism was translated into many different regions where it was appropriated and adopted to local conditions. Missionary work always entails translation, linguistic as well as cultural, which results in a modification of the content. Catechisms were central instruments to communicate Christian belief and, therefore, they are central media for all kinds of translation processes. The comparative approach (including China, India, Japan, Ethiopia, Northern America and England) enables the evaluation of different factors like power relations, social differentiation, cultural patterns, gender roles etc. Contributors are: Takao Abé, Anand Amaladass, Leonhard Cohen, Renate Dürr, Antje Flüchter, Ana Hosne, Giulia Nardini, John Ødemark, John Steckley, Alexandra Walsham, Rouven Wirbser.

Download or read book Natural and Political Conceptions of Community written by Christoph Philipp Haar and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Natural and Political Conceptions of Community, Christoph Haar examines the role of the household community in Jesuit political thought. Introducing a fresh perspective on the early modern Jesuit academic discourse, the book explores how leading Jesuit thinkers drew on their theologically inspired conceptions of the family community to determine the usefulness as well as the limitations of the political realm. Natural and Political Conceptions of Community is about the place of the household in Scholastic theoretical works. The book demonstrates that Jesuits considered the human being as a household being when they determined the origin and purpose of the political community, producing a notion of politics that integrated their account of human nature with the sphere of law, rights, and virtues.

Download or read book Domingo de Soto and the Early Galileo written by William A. Wallace and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unifying theme in this second volume of essays by William A. Wallace to be published in the Variorum series is signaled in the title of the opening paper: 'Domingo de Soto and the Iberian roots of Galileo's science'. The seven essays in the first part provide textual studies of Soto's early formulations of the laws of falling bodies, the context in which they were developed in the 16th century, and the ways in which they were transmitted in Spain and Portugal to the early 17th century, mainly by Jesuit scholars. The following essays focus on the young Galileo and his work at Pisa and Padua, leading to his discovery of the law of uniform acceleration in free fall. Textual evidence is presented for an indirect influence of Soto's work on Galileo, mediated by Jesuits who were teaching at Padua in the first decade of the 17th century.

Book excerpt: Esta es una compilación de trece libros escritos entre los años 397 y 398 por San Agustín, Obispo de Hipona, Padre y Doctor de la Iglesia, que se publican en su totalidad en este volumen. Es un libro autobiográfico escrito por San Agustín de sus primeros 40 años de vida pues vivió hasta los 76 años. Narra en él su juventud llena de pecados y su camino hacia la cristiandad. Hijo de padre pagano y madre cristiana, San Agustín pasó sus primeros años dividido entre religiones conflictivas y cosmovisiones. Sus Confesiones, escritas cuando tenía cuarenta y tantos años, cuentan cómo, lenta y dolorosamente, dejó de lado sus ideas juveniles y su estilo de vida licencioso, para convertirse en un acérrimo defensor del cristianismo y uno de sus pensadores más influyentes. Una autobiografía espiritual notablemente honesta y reveladora, las Confesiones también abordan cuestiones fundamentales de la doctrina cristiana, y muchas de las oraciones y meditaciones que incluye siguen siendo una parte integral de la práctica del cristianismo actual.

Download or read book De la Vida Feliz San Agust n written by San Agustín and published by Lebooks Editora. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La obra Sobre la Vida Feliz surge de un diálogo ocurrido en ocasión de la celebración del cumpleaños de Agustín. En ella, el autor debate con algunos amigos sobre lo que en realidad sería una vida feliz. Partiendo de una vida virtuosa hasta llegar a una vida en plena unión con Dios, Agustín nos muestra lo que, para él, constituiría una vida verdaderamente feliz. Esta obra se divide en cuatro capítulos. El primero lleva por título "Dedicación a Manlio Teodoro", donde Agustín dedica esta obra a su amigo Teodoro y habla de las personas que se dedican a buscar la sabiduría; el segundo es "El problema de la felicidad", en el cual analiza de qué dependemos para ser felices; el tercero es "La posesión de Dios como condición de la felicidad", en este capítulo establece la relación de que, para que el hombre sea feliz, necesita poseer a Dios; y el cuarto capítulo tiene por título "La felicidad es plenitud espiritual", donde Agustín examina si para ser feliz es necesario estar pleno de espíritu.

Download or read book Confesiones written by San Agustín and published by Editorial Verbum. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confesiones es un libro en el que San Agustín escribió acerca de su juventud pecadora y de cómo se convirtió al cristianismo. Es ampliamente aceptada como la primera autobiografía occidental jamás escrita, y se convirtió en un modelo para otros autores cristianos de los siguientes siglos. No es una autobiografía completa, pues fue escrita tras sus primeros 40 años de vida y vivió hasta los 76, tiempo durante el cual produjo otros importantes trabajos, entre ellos La ciudad de Dios. De todos modos, proporciona gran información sobre la evolución de su pensamiento en sus primeros años. El libro es un acabado trabajo de filosofía y también un importante aporte a la teología. La obra está dividida en 13 libros. En ellos se narra la niñez de Agustín, su adolescencia y juventud, su carrera académica, su estancia en el maniqueísmo, su proceso personal de acercamiento al cristianismo (ya conocido en la niñez), su conversión, y sus primeras experiencias como católico. San Agustín es el mayor filósofo cristiano y a la vez el padre de la filosofía y de la teología cristianas. En gran medida esta primacía la ganó con sus Confesiones. En esta obra nos ofrece San Agustín su autobiografía y la descripción de su actitud espiritual definitiva como hombre frente a Dios. El fondo y el espíritu filosófico y teológico de las Confesiones, juntamente con la genial inteligencia y el ardiente corazón del doctor africano, nos permiten ya vislumbrar la trayectoria que tanto en los problemas meramente humanos como en las difíciles controversias teológicas iba a seguir el genio de San Agustín.
