Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non esiste una cultura che non abbia in sé tracce di credenze e pratiche religiose: da sempre riti, sacrifici, preghiera e sacerdoti fanno parte delle società umane. Partendo dal momento in cui è apparso il sentimento religioso per sfociare nell'affascinante fioritura del paganesimo, approdando alle grandi religioni monoteiste per arrivare infine alle società complesse dei giorni nostri, lacerate tra secolarismo e fondamentalismo, Frédéric Lenoir racconta la nascita e l'evoluzione del sentimento religioso. Lo fa senza pregiudizi, unendo il sapere del filosofo a quello dello storico, riprendendo la lezione dei massimi studiosi della scienza comparata delle religioni. Piccolo trattato di storia delle religioni, best seller in Francia e tradotto in tutto il mondo, è più di una sintetica ma accurata ricostruzione storica. Lenoir affronta le eterne incognite insite nel nostro rapporto con il divino: il vincolo stretto e terribile del sacro con la violenza, il motivo per cui esistono diverse religioni, il passaggio dalla credenza in molte divinità alla fede in un unico dio, l'autentico messaggio dei fondatori delle grandi religioni, l'insolubile disputa tra ragione e fede, la simbiosi tra culto e cultura, il senso profondo della tradizione, se è vero o no che oggi l'umanità stia vivendo uno scontro tra religioni. Dai primi riti delle tribù preistoriche ai nuovi spiritualismi, questo Piccolo trattato di storia delle religioni esplora il fenomeno religioso nelle sue diverse manifestazioni, dalle superstizioni più scontate alla più alta riflessione teologica. Ci guida così alla scoperta di un aspetto chiave della nostra umanità, in tutta la sua profonda e ambigua ricchezza.

Download or read book Breve storia delle religioni written by Richard Holloway and published by Ponte alle Grazie. This book was released on 2016-11-10T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 304 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2014-06-30T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una guida al vasto panorama delle tradizioni religiose, del passato e del presente, affinché, nell'avvicinarsi all'una o all'altra di esse, in base ai propri interessi, sia possibile muoversi con criterio nello studio delle loro rispettive storie e identità. Intento del volume non è quello di entrare nel merito delle singole religioni ma piuttosto proporre una riflessione sulle questioni di fondo che accomuna le diverse tradizioni. Le tematiche di fondo che vengono affrontate vanno dalla nozione di ‘religione' a una breve storia degli studi sui fenomeni religiosi, da una riflessione sulle tre categorie fondanti del storico-religioso – il mito, il rito, il sacrificio – alla differenza fra religioni etniche e religioni fondate. L'autrice si sofferma in particolar modo sul mondo mediterraneo antico e tardo-antico, che per un verso è più familiare al lettore e quindi a lui più immediatamente accessibile, e per l'altro si configura come un importante terreno di manifestazione di esperienze decisive per la definizione dell'identità culturale, oltre che religiosa, dell'attuale scenario europeo e mondiale.

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.

Download or read book The Work of Art written by Gérard Genette and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What art is--its very nature--is the subject of this book by one of the most distinguished continental theorists writing today. Informed by the aesthetics of Nelson Goodman and referring to a wide range of cultures, contexts, and media, The Work of Art seeks to discover, explain, and define how art exists and how it works. To this end, Gérard Genette explores the distinction between a work of art's immanence--its physical presence--and transcendence--the experience it induces. That experience may go far beyond the object itself.Genette situates art within the broad realm of human practices, extending from the fine arts of music, painting, sculpture, and literature to humbler but no less fertile fields such as haute couture and the culinary arts. His discussion touches on a rich array of examples and is bolstered by an extensive knowledge of the technology involved in producing and disseminating a work of art, regardless of whether that dissemination is by performance, reproduction, printing, or recording. Moving beyond examples, Genette proposes schemata for thinking about the different manifestations of a work of art. He also addresses the question of the artwork's duration and mutability.

Book excerpt: 'Kissinger's absorbing book tackles head-on some of the toughest questions of our time . . . Its pages sparkle with insight' Simon Schama in the NEW YORKER Spanning more than three centuries, from Cardinal Richelieu to the fragility of the 'New World Order', DIPLOMACY is the now-classic history of international relations by the former Secretary of State and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Kissinger's intimate portraits of world leaders, many from personal experience, provide the reader with a unique insight into what really goes on -- and why -- behind the closed doors of the corridors of power. 'Budding diplomats and politicians should read it as avidly as their predecessors read Machiavelli' Douglas Hurd in the DAILY TELEGRAPH 'If you want to pay someone a compliment, give them Henry Kissinger's DIPLOMACY ... It is certainly one of the best, and most enjoyable [books] on international relations past and present ... DIPLOMACY should be read for the sheer historical sweep, the characterisations, the story-telling, the ability to look at large parts of the world as a whole' Malcolm Rutherford in the FINANCIAL TIMES

This book was released on 2013-11-27T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives an overview of the crucial events that took place during the passage from the Ottoman to the Venetian rules in the Dalmatian hinterland during the Candian and Morean Wars in the second half of the 17th century. The hinterland of the capital city of the Venetian dual province of Dalmatia and Albania – the city of Zadar/Zara – has been used here as a case study to depict all the changes relating to: inhabitation, the appearance of settlements, changes in the populations and migrations, the forms and models of administrative and political institutions, specific border economies and the development of Venetian border areas through trade with the Ottomans alongside agriculture in the contado. Studied here is how the city of Zadar, whose life was organised as a typical coastal community like many in the Venetian Republic along with its contado, managed to enlarge its territory and incorporate elements of Ottoman political, administrative and cultural heritage along with thousands of Ottoman Christian subjects.
