Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socrates, Or On Human Knowledge, published in Venice in 1651, is the only work written by a Jew that contains so far the promise of a genuinely sceptical investigation into the validity of human certainties. Simone Luzzatto masterly developed this book as a pièce of theatre where Socrates, as main actor, has the task to demonstrate the limits and weaknesses of the human capacity to acquire knowledge without being guided by revelation. He achieved this goal by offering an overview of the various and contradictory gnosiological opinions disseminated since ancient times: the divergence of views, to which he addressed the most attention, prevented him from giving a fixed definition of the nature of the cognitive process. This obliged him to come to the audacious conclusion of neither affirming nor denying anything concerning human knowledge, and finally of suspending his judgement altogether. This work unfortunately had little success in Luzzatto’s lifetime, and was subsequently almost forgotten. The absence of substantial evidence from his contemporaries and that of his epistolary have thus increased the difficulty of tracing not only its legacy in the history of philosophical though, but also of understanding the circumstances surrounding the writing of his Socrates. The present edition will be a preliminary study aiming to shed some light on the philosophical and historical value of this work’s translation, indeed it will provide a broader readership with the opportunity to access this immensely complicated work and also to grasp some aspects of the composite intellectual framework and admirable modernity of Venetian Jewish culture in the ghetto.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... Cominciai a seguire l'insegnamento del Buddha dal momento in cui capii che il vero e proprio non è una religione - una fede in una Divinità e in una relazione con Essa, comunque articolata -, ma un umanesimo e, più concretamente, un sistema etico-psicologico che propone metodi pratici per raggiungere, qui e ora, la piena realizzazione delle proprie potenzialità benefiche. In Occidente, l'insegnamento del Buddha è stato più volte 'interpretato' in senso più o meno teistico: il Buddha come Dio o come sua rappresentazione/manifestazione. Ma quando mi resi conto che il Buddha (il Risvegliato) non pretendeva essere un Dio o un profeta, bensì esempio supremo di ciò che l'essere umano può diventare, mi dissi: “Questo sì che ha un senso: il Risvegliato insegna agli altri, come risvegliarsi". Questo testo vuole contribuire alla compren­sione della natura pratica e concreta dell'in­segnamento del Buddha, il cui cuore è l'esercizio meditativo. Vi sono delineate le sue caratteristiche essenziali, per offrire al lettore non specializzato un'introduzione generale, che possa incoraggiare a farne esperienza. “Nel 1972 in Sri Lanka (...) ebbi la fortuna di leggere le parole del Buddha: la spiegazione di quello che lui stesso aveva sperimentato, e di come anche altri possano arrivare alla stessa esperienza. E così scoprii la straordinaria semplicità e la profonda concretezza del sentiero di quiete e visione profonda, da lui indicato. Mi dedicai, quindi, allo studio dell'antica lingua pali e dei testi. Nel 1974 feci un corso di meditazione Vipassana con il maestro indo-birmano S.N. Goenka; questa pratica dell'insegnamento del Buddha mi convinse ad accettare la sua validità , come guida di vita, e ad impegnarmi da allora al continuativo esercizio meditativo di Vipassana. Ben sapendo che è una strada lunga, a ogni passo mi appare giusta e benefica."

Download or read book The Sabaite Heritage in the Orthodox Church from the Fifth Century to the Present written by Joseph Patrich and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Sabas (439-532 CE), was one of the principal leaders of Palestinian monasticism, that had flourished in the sixth century in the desert of Jerusalem. As an abbot he was the first in Palestine to formulate a monastic rule in writing, and his activity as an ecclesiastical leader bore upon the life of the entire Christian community in the Holy land. He and his monks were active in the theological disputes that affected the fate of the Christian Church of Palestine, and shaped it as a stronghold of Orthodoxy. But his activity has transcended his place and time. His largest monastery - the Great Laura (Mar saba), functioned from the sixth to the ninth century as the intellectual centre of the See of Jerusalem. The most distinguished among its authors were Cyril of Scythopolis, Leontius of Byzantium, John Moschus and Sophronius, Antiochus Monachos, John of Damascus, Cosmas the Hymnographer, Leontius of Damascus and Stephen Mansur. Their treatises on dogma, and prayer, shaped Orthodox theology, liturgy and hymnography in Palestine and beyond. This literary activity in Greek was complemented by scribal activity of copying and translating of Greek manuscripts into Arabic and Georgian. There was also original composition in Arabic by Theodore Abu Qurrah and others. Monastic life in Mar Saba, that continued under Muslim rule with only short intermissions, preserved the Sabaite tradition, and contributed to its reputation, parallel to that of Jerusalem. Sabaite monks were renown as paragons of monasticism and dogma, who had inspired monastic and ecclesiastical reformers in later centuries throughout the Orthodox world. Its fame spread far and wide, from Rome and North Africa in the west, to Serbia, Russia and Georgia in the east, affecting Christian dogma and liturgy therein. The thirty-one studies included in this volume, each written by an expert in his field, present the various facets of the Sabaite heritage in the Orthodox Church, from the sixth century to the present.
