Download or read book The Origins of the Platonic Academy of Florence written by Arthur M. Field and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded by Cosimo de' Medici in the early 1460s, the Platonic Academy shaped the literary and artistic culture of Florence in the later Renaissance and influenced science, religion, art, and literature throughout Europe in the early modern period. This major study of the Academy's beginnings presents a fresh view of the intellectual and cultural life of Florence from the Peace of Lodi of 1454 to the death of Cosimo a decade later. Challenging commonly held assumptions about the period, Arthur Field insists that the Academy was not a hothouse plant, grown and kept alive by the Medici in the splendid isolation of their villas and courts. Rather, Florentine intellectuals seized on the Platonic truths and propagated them in the heart of Florence, creating for the Medici and other Florentines a new ideology. Based largely on new or neglected manuscript sources, this book includes discussions of the earliest works by the head of the Academy, Marsilio Ficino, and the first public, Platonizing lectures of the humanist and poet Cristoforo Landino. The author also examines the contributions both of religious orders and of the Byzantines to the Neoplatonic revival. Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Book excerpt: "Non esiste l'alba Gisèlle" In questo "romanzo cinematografico" presento un epopea corale che fa dell'epica tragica il suo punto di forza. Sullo sfondo di una Russia divisa tra passato e modernità, nei primi anni del '900, si intrecciano le storie di un giovane soldato messo alle strette dalle atrocità della guerra civile, dei due gemelli Andrè e Gisèlle ritrovatisi dopo tredici anni in una super-natura solitaria e glaciale, e del sadico e spietato capitano Foska, personificazione del male assoluto. Quando le vie del soldato disilluso, dei gemelli amanti e del folle capitano si riuniranno, la tragedia attuerà il suo fatale destino, senza risparmiare nessuno. Purpurea è il mio primo romanzo, tratto da una sceneggiatura che scrissi da adolescente. Scriverlo è stato per me, e spero lo sarà anche leggerlo per voi, una straordinaria esperienza visiva, sublime ed angosciante allo stesso tempo.

Book excerpt: È una guerra? Come si vive in una guerra? Specialmente per chi non la vive e non la comprende? Non é difficile comprendere una guerra, ci sono morti e distruzione, non c'è altro, solo questo. La guerra si comincia sempre per lo stesso motivo, in qualunque tempo e in qualunque luogo e la combattono i soldati.In questo libro ci sono molti soldati, chi combatte per spirito d'avventura e chi lo fa per mestiere. Seguitene qualcuno nelle sue avventure, rimanete in mezzo alla guerra o state discostato dalla guerra, troverete sempre dolore ed apprensione.Prendete quegli uomini, che cercano solo di sopravvivere, non potete farne una colpa se a volte trascinano la lotta ai suoi estremi. Ci si dimentica d'essere uomini, di essere umani, la vita va oltre a questo, ci trascina in situazioni che nemmeno ce ne accorgiamo e facciamo cose che in altri momenti avremmo aborrito.

Download or read book Barbarism and Religion: Volume 3, The First Decline and Fall written by J. G. A. Pocock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-27 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Barbarism and Religion' - Edward Gibbon's own phrase - is the title of a sequence of works by John Pocock designed to situate Gibbon, and his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, in a series of contexts in the history of eighteenth-century Europe. This is a major intervention from one of the world's leading historians, challenging the notion of any one 'Enlightenment' and positing instead a plurality of enlightenments, of which the English was one. The first two volumes of Barbarism and Religion were warmly and widely reviewed, and won the Jacques Barzun Prize in Cultural History of the American Philosophical Society. In this third volume in the sequence, The First Decline and Fall, John Pocock offers an historical introduction to the first fourteen chapters of Gibbon's great work, recounting the end of the classical civilisation Gibbon and his readers knew so much better than the worlds that followed.

Download or read book The Machiavellian Moment written by John Greville Agard Pocock and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1975, The Machiavellian Moment remains a landmark of historical and political thought. Celebrated historian J.G.A. Pocock looks at the consequences for modern historical and social consciousness arising from the ideal of the classical republic revived by Machiavelli and other thinkers of Renaissance Italy. Pocock shows that Machiavelli's prime emphasis was on the moment in which the republic confronts the problem of its own instability in time, which Pocock calls the "Machiavellian moment." After examining this problem in the works of Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and Giannotti, Pocock turns to the revival of republican ideology in Puritan England and in Revolutionary and Federalist America. He argues that the American Revolution can be considered the last great act of civic humanism of the Renaissance and he relates the origins of modern historicism to the clash between civic, Christian, and commercial values in eighteenth-century thought. This Princeton Classics edition of The Machiavellian Moment features a new introduction by Richard Whatmore.

Book excerpt: Perché un titolo simile? Quale ruolo ha la soffitta nella mia collezione di radio d'epoca? La risposta è semplice: la soffitta è il luogo dove sono riposte. Ma non solo. Da quando ho iniziato, nel 1982, stavo già andando contro corrente: a differenza della maggior parte delle persone vi riponevo le cose più preziose. Non rappresentava solo un luogo fisico dove alloggiavano le mie radio, ma il posto dove mi potevo rifugiare. In quell'ambiente il mondo sembra essersi fermato.

Download or read book Immigrants and Innovative Law written by Mark A. Awabdy and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark A. Awabdy provides a nuanced and extensive understanding of the noun gr (ger, engl. immigrant) in the book of Deuteronomy (D). He argues that a precise reconstruction of the historical referents of D's ger is impossible and has led scholars to misread or overlook literary, theological, and sociological determinants. By analyzing D's ger texts and contexts, evidence emerges for: the non-Israelite and non-Judahite origins of D's ger; the distinction between the ger in D's prologue-epilogue and legal core; and the different meanings and origins of D's " ger-in-Egypt" and " 'ebed-in-Egypt" formulae. Awabdy further contends that D's revision of Exodus' Decalogue and Covenant Code and independence from H reveal D's tendencies to accommodate the ger and interface the ger with YHWH's redemption of Israel. He concludes by defining how D integrates the ger into the community of YHWH's people.

Download or read book Witnessing the Witness of War Crimes, Mass Murder, and Genocide written by Manuela Consonni and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking the concepts of "witnessing" and "witness" is highly relevant to the study of war crimes, mass murder and genocide. Through multiple readings, the volume shows the meanings and functions of witnessing in a political and historical context marked by the emergence of multiculturalism. The ultimate goal is the exploration of divergent and intersectional positions of the witness and witnessing as both concrete and hermeneutical categories. As a result, the mechanisms of social, political, and psychological oppression, murder and genocide will become tangible and understandable with greater precision and finesse.

Download or read book Imagined, Embodied and Actual Turks in Early Modern Europe written by Bent Holm and published by Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The confrontation between European countries and the expanding Ottoman Empire in the early modern era has played a major role in numerous fields of history. The aim of this book is to investigate the European-Ottoman interrelations from three angles. One deals with the circumstances: How did the Europeans meet the Turks in pragmatic and diplomatic connections? Another concerns imagery: how were the Turks depicted in literature and art? The third examines performativity: how were the Turks inserted into plays, operas and ceremonies? This book confronts mental, visual and embodied images with historical positions and conditions. The focus, therefore, is on the dynamic interactive processes of experience, embodiment and imagination in context. Bringing together Turkish and European scholars, it applies a number of research strategies used by historians to the history of art, literature, music and theatre.

Download or read book A Modern History of European Cities written by Rosemary Wakeman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosemary Wakeman's original survey text comprehensively explores modern European urban history from 1815 to the present day. It provides a journey to cities and towns across the continent, in search of the patterns of development that have shaped the urban landscape as indelibly European. The focus is on the built environment, the social and cultural transformations that mark the patterns of continuity and change, and the transition to modern urban society. Including over 60 images that serve to illuminate the analysis, the book examines whether there is a European city, and if so, what are its characteristics? Wakeman offers an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates concepts from cultural and postcolonial studies, as well as urban geography, and provides full coverage of urban society not only in western Europe, but also in eastern and southern Europe, using various cities and city types to inform the discussion. The book provides detailed coverage of the often-neglected urbanization post-1945 which allows us to more clearly understand the modernizing arc Europe has followed over the last two centuries.
