Download or read book Discourse on the State of the Jews written by Simone Luzzatto and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1638, a small book of no more than 92 pages in octavo was published “appresso Gioanne Calleoni” under the title “Discourse on the State of the Jews and in particular those dwelling in the illustrious city of Venice.” It was dedicated to the Doge of Venice and his counsellors, who are labelled “lovers of Truth.” The author of the book was a certain Simone (Simḥa) Luzzatto, a native of Venice, where he lived and died, serving as rabbi for over fifty years during the course of the seventeenth century. Luzzatto’s political thesis is simple and, at the same time, temerarious, if not revolutionary: Venice can put an end to its political decline, he argues, by offering the Jews a monopoly on overseas commercial activity. This plan is highly recommendable because the Jews are “wellsuited for trade,” much more so than others (such as “foreigners,” for example). The rabbi opens his argument by recalling that trade and usury are the only occupations permitted to Jews. Within the confines of their historical situation, the Venetian Jews became particularly skilled at trade with partners from the Eastern Mediterranean countries. Luzzatto’s argument is that this talent could be put at the service of the Venetian government in order to maintain – or, more accurately, recover – its political importance as an intermediary between East and West. He was the first to define the role of the Jews on the basis of their economic and social functions, disregarding the classic categorisation of Judaism’s alleged privileged religious status in world history. Nonetheless, going beyond the socio-economic arguments of the book, it is essential to point out Luzzatto’s resort to sceptical strategies in order to plead in defence of the Venetian Jews. It is precisely his philosophical and political scepticism that makes Luzzatto’s texts so unique. This edition aims to grant access to his works and thought to English-speaking readers and scholars. By approaching his texts from this point of view, the editors hope to open a new path in research into Jewish culture and philosophy that will enable other scholars to develop new directions and new perspectives, stressing the interpenetration between Jews and the surrounding Christian and secular cultures.

Download or read book A Profound Weakness written by Betty Spackman and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 1074 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 'image journal' and textbook, the contemporary artist Betty Spackman takes us on a guided tour of her collection of the images and objects that represent the Christian faith in popular culture. Having set out to critique these poor relations of ecclesiastical art, she finds herself torn between being deeply moved and outraged by their sentimental appeal. Her gentle deconstructions and playful permutations elicit new life from them to illustrate her observations, and to surprise and at times unsettle the reader. A closing questionnaire prompts further reflection. This is a book that can help us greatly to make sense of the pictures that unwittingly may have shaped our faith or unfaith. It is highly recommended for artists, teachers, preachers, youth leaders, parents and spiritual counsellors. Book jacket.

Download or read book Veganesimo e famiglia written by Rodrigo Codermatz and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molti vegani spesso lamentano incomprensione, scherno, rabbia e insofferenza da parte della famiglia per la loro scelta etica. Reazioni così ostili e rancorose proprio dalle persone più vicine! Che interesse avrà mai la famiglia ad osteggiare questa profonda e radicata scelta morale? Perché tanta ansia, tanto coinvolgimento, tanta preoccupazione? Perciò mi sono interrogato sul carattere marcatamente ansioso, ostile e rabbioso, della risposta della famiglia alla scelta vegana, un atteggiamento e un comportamento di evidente carattere difensivo. Sempre le stesse reazioni: l'incomunicabilità più completa, la morte del dialogo. In questo saggio ho tentato una lettura in chiave interpersonale del problema del rapporto del vegano con la sua famiglia in primis e dei comportamenti di difesa di entrambe le parti nella situazione interpersonale ormai compromessa.

Book excerpt: Aonia edizioni. Ricordo Benito Mussolini con quel suo paltoncino proletario, dal bavero rialzato. Il freddo milanese lo sentiva molto. Compariva tutto freddoloso nel mio studio di via Fontana 18, con una certa timidezza. Protendeva la testa con quei suoi occhioni di fuoco. Sovente, entrando, domandava: "Sei solo?". Non sedeva quasi mai. Passeggiava concitato e sviluppava i suoi pensieri rivoluzionari. Demoliva il regime del quale oggi è ricostruttore: monarchia, militarismo, parlamentarismo, capitalismo. Tutta roba che allora mandava all'égout. Come era superbo Mussolini, coi suoi occhi luminosi che traducevano i bagliori della demolizione di tutto ciò che era borghese e legislativo! Non era per il parlamento: il luogo dei ciarloni nazionali. Il senato, puah!: istituzione da museo, ricettacolo di vecchiardi che non giovavano più a nessuno. Lo sciopero era il suo ideale di rivolta. Era dell'elevazione per il proletariato. Per vincere la "vil borghesia" non c'era che l'incrociamento delle braccia...

Book excerpt: This book presents a semiotic study of the re-elaboration of Christian narratives and values in a corpus of Italian novels published after the Second Vatican Council (1960s). It tackles the complex set of ideas expressed by Italian writers about the biblical narration of human origins and traditional religious language and ritual, the perceived clash between the immanent and transcendent nature and role of the Church, and the problematic notion of sanctity emerging from contemporary narrative.
