Download or read book The Mirror of the Self written by Shadi Bartsch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2006-07-03 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People in the ancient world thought of vision as both an ethical tool and a tactile sense, akin to touch. Gazing upon someone—or oneself—was treated as a path to philosophical self-knowledge, but the question of tactility introduced an erotic element as well. In The Mirror of the Self, Shadi Bartsch asserts that these links among vision, sexuality, and self-knowledge are key to the classical understanding of the self. Weaving together literary theory, philosophy, and social history, Bartsch traces this complex notion of self from Plato’s Greece to Seneca’s Rome. She starts by showing how ancient authors envisioned the mirror as both a tool for ethical self-improvement and, paradoxically, a sign of erotic self-indulgence. Her reading of the Phaedrus, for example, demonstrates that the mirroring gaze in Plato, because of its sexual possibilities, could not be adopted by Roman philosophers and their students. Bartsch goes on to examine the Roman treatment of the ethical and sexual gaze, and she traces how self-knowledge, the philosopher’s body, and the performance of virtue all played a role in shaping the Roman understanding of the nature of selfhood. Culminating in a profoundly original reading of Medea, The Mirror of the Self illustrates how Seneca, in his Stoic quest for self-knowledge, embodies the Roman view, marking a new point in human thought about self-perception. Bartsch leads readers on a journey that unveils divided selves, moral hypocrisy, and lustful Stoics—and offers fresh insights about seminal works. At once sexy and philosophical, The Mirror of the Self will be required reading for classicists, philosophers, and anthropologists alike.

Download or read book The Mirror written by Moses Oyekunle Sowale and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing who you are is crucial to wholeness; the loss of identity is the foundation of dehumanization. The modern-day epidemic of absentee fathers has created an identity crisis for the present generation. The loss of identity created by fathers who cannot adequately play their Godgiven roles in the lives of their children has culminated in the display of anger, bitterness, anxiety, domestic violence, and the public unrest that we witness daily in today's society. This book is an attempt to create a lasting fundamental, cultural, biblical, and spiritual solution that can fill in the vacuum. I have approached the topic, borrowing insight from an adage in my traditional Yoruba culture, which says, "Iya ni Wura, Baba ni Digi." This proverb depicts a mother as a piece of gold and a father as a mirror. What is the genealogy of a mirror? If fathers are mirrors, where do we turn to behold ourselves when the mirror is broken? How can a shattered mirror be restored? I was moved and impressed by the poignant and passionate account of Fr. Moses' experience of family, ancestral and present, whose cultural idealism so strongly and positively impacted his life. Children animate the gift of acceptance, "mirrored" in the life of Fr. Moses. He has shown the embodiment of that unconditional acceptance, as well as the strength affirmation he shows toward his peers, past and present. The grace of critical distance makes this possible. Bless you Moses for showing us your heart ~ Rev. Noble F. Scheepers Jesus tells us that we "are the light of the world." In The Mirror, Fr. Sowale brings us into a deeper understanding of how we, as lights, enable others to see themselves and how their light helps us to see ourselves. We are like mirrors, reflecting our own light and the light shown by others. We also, reflect in our lives, and see reflected from others, the light of God, the Father of us all. ~ Rev. Philip J. Kuhn The mirror is a book that has taken difficult questions of life and attempted to walk anyone through the journey of tackling these questions, using thought provoking questions. This is a book that will make you love who God has created you to be, it will help you get into alignment with your soul and celebrate where you are on your journey. Thank you Reverend Sowale for this powerfully articulated guide ~ Adekunle Afolabi

Download or read book Thirteenth Century England XIV written by Janet Burton and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fruits of the most recent research on the thirteenth century in both England and Europe. The articles collected here reflect the continued and wide interest in England and its neighbours in the years between Magna Carta and the Black Death, with many of them particularly seeking to set England in its European context.There are three main strands to the volume. The first is the social dimension of power, and the norms and practice of politics: attention is drawn to the variety of roles open to members of the clergy, but also peasants and townsmen, and the populace at large. Several chapters explore the manifestations and instruments of social identity, such as the seals used by the leading elites of thirteenth-century London, and the marriage practices of the Englisharistocracy. The third main focus is the uses of the past. Matthew Paris, the most famous chronicler of the period, receives due attention, in particular his changing attitude towards the monarch, but the Vita Edwardi Secundi's portrayal of Thomas of Lancaster and the Anglo-Norman Prose Brut are also considered. Janet Burton is Professor of Medieval History at University of Wales: Trinity Saint David; Phillipp Schofield is Professor of Medieval History at Aberystwyth University; Björn Weiler is Professor of History at Aberystwyth University.

Maddicott, Phillipp Schofield, Harmony Dewez, John McEwan, Jörg Peltzer, Karen Stöber, Olga Cecilia Méndez González, Sophie Ambler, Joe Creamer, Lars Kjær, Andrew Spencer, Julia Marvin, Olivier de Laborderie
