Download or read book Metamorphoses written by Emanuele Coccia and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are all fascinated by the mystery of metamorphosis – of the caterpillar that transforms itself into a butterfly. Their bodies have almost nothing in common. They don’t share the same world: one crawls on the ground and the other flutters its wings in the air. And yet they are one and the same life. Emanuele Coccia argues that metamorphosis – the phenomenon that allows the same life to subsist in disparate bodies – is the relationship that binds all species together and unites the living with the non-living. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, plants, animals: they are all one and the same life. Each species, including the human species, is the metamorphosis of all those that preceded it – the same life, cobbling together a new body and a new form in order to exist differently. And there is no opposition between the living and the non-living: life is always the reincarnation of the non-living, a carnival of the telluric substance of a planet – the Earth – that continually draws new faces and new ways of being out of even the smallest particle of its disparate body. By highlighting what joins humans together with other forms of life, Coccia’s brilliant reflection on metamorphosis encourages us to abandon our view of the human species as static and independent and to recognize instead that we are part of a much larger and interconnected form of life.

Book Synopsis Religion after Religion by : Steven M. Wasserstrom
Download or read book Religion after Religion written by Steven M. Wasserstrom and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1999-11-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of World War II, religion appeared to be on the decline throughout the United States and Europe. Recent world events had cast doubt on the relevance of religious belief, and modernizing trends made religious rituals look out of place. It was in this atmosphere that the careers of Scholem, Eliade, and Corbin--the twentieth century's legendary scholars in the respective fields of Judaism, History of Religions, and Islam--converged and ultimately revolutionized how people thought about religion. Between 1949 and 1978, all three lectured to Carl Jung's famous Eranos circle in Ascona, Switzerland, where each in his own way came to identify the symbolism of mystical experience as a central element of his monotheistic tradition. In this, the first book ever to compare the paths taken by these thinkers, Steven Wasserstrom explores how they overturned traditional approaches to studying religion by de-emphasizing law, ritual, and social history and by extolling the role of myth and mysticism. The most controversial aspect of their theory of religion, Wasserstrom argues, is that it minimized the binding character of moral law associated with monotheism. The author focuses on the lectures delivered by Scholem, Eliade, and Corbin to the Eranos participants, but also shows how these scholars generated broader interest in their ideas through radio talks, poetry, novels, short stories, autobiographies, and interviews. He analyzes their conception of religion from a broadly integrated, comparative perspective, sets their distinctive thinking into historical and intellectual context, and interprets the striking success of their approaches.

It is quite fascinating to witness the paradigm change, which the field of photonics has witnessed in the last 10 years. Particularly, advanced photonics has shifted from the research laboratories to commercial manufacturing industries. This book offers a comprehensive overview regarding photonics, from the quantum mechanics and electrodynamic fundamentals to the scales of photonic building blocks and components such as amplifiers, lasers, modulators, detectors, and waveguides. The book can serve both as a reference work as well as a comprehensive textbook for students or scientists. Theoretical results and relations are typically derived from fundamental principles with suitable and state-of-the-art tools, which provide deeper understanding along with familiarization with mathematical architectures, used in the relevant research articles. Some of the significant subject matters include polarization optics, beam and pulse propagation, light-matter interaction, waveguides, transient, and stationary behavior of lasers, semiconductor optics (which include low-dimensional quantum systems for example, quantum wells), photometry, colorimetry, and detector technology. Microwave photonics are illustrated comprehensively. The book is proposed for a diverse range of audiences which include the students of electronics and physics and the scientists from various fields such as optical communications, laser technology, medical laser applications and laser materials processing. This book has the potential to provide an in-depth understanding of various photonic principles. In Chapter 1, the fundamental concepts of photonics and optics are discussed. Moreover, the significance of photonics in several fields has also been illustrated in Chapter 1. The field of micro-photonics has a significant impact in commercial photonic applications. Chapter 2 discusses the significance and applications of microwave photonics in various industrial fields. Environment and health play an essential role in the well-being of human creature. The applications of photonics in health and environment sector are detailed in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 discusses the fundamental principles of developing semiconducting nanostructures for photonic switching devices. Presently, the use of plasmon lasers (advanced photonic based lasers) as a uniform and coherent source of energy is trending. Chapter 5 discusses the use of plasmon lasers as an advanced source of energy for various applications. The world is now shifting towards advanced photovoltaic devices which are a superior substitute for conventional energy generating devices. Chapter 6 critically discusses the use of photonic principles for developing modern photovoltaic devices. Space exploration is one of the fundamental priorities of the modern developing nations and the research for advances in space applications is being carried out extensively. Chapter 7 contains the detailed presentation regarding the space application of modern photonic devices. Finally, Chapter 8 unfolds a technological roadmap for photonics applications in the field of memory systems. The roadmap of the electronics and photonics industry development signifies that advanced photonics will remain the fundamental source of micro-and-nono-electronics. Therefore, intricate yet efficient photonic devices will serve as an essential component for manufacturing of next-generation electronic and photonic architectures. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis Studies in Ecstatic Kabbalah by : Moshe Idel
Download or read book Studies in Ecstatic Kabbalah written by Moshe Idel and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents important topics regarding the more mystical trend of Kabbalah—the ecstatic Kabbalah. It includes the mystical union, the world of imagination, and concentration as a spiritual technique. The emphasis in the text is on the interaction between the "original" Spanish stage of Kabbalah and Muslim mysticism in the East, mainly in the Galilee. The influence of the Kabbalistic-Sufic synthesis on the later developments of Jewish mysticism is traced, thereby providing a more precise understanding of the history of Kabbalah as an interplay between the theosophical and ecstatic mystical experiences.
Book Synopsis On the Art of the Kabbalah by : Johann Reuchlin
Download or read book On the Art of the Kabbalah written by Johann Reuchlin and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reuchlin?s keen interest in Jewish mysticism resulted in the original publication of this work in 1517. The first part of this dialogue reflects on messianism, the second part on the relation of the Pythagorean system to the Kabbalah, and the third on the "practical Kabbalah." ø The German humanist Johann Reuchlin (1455-1522) defended the value of Jewish scholarship and literature when it was unwise and unpopular to do so. As G. Lloyd Jones points out, "A marked mistrust of the Jews had developed among Christian scholars during the later Middle Ages. It was claimed that the rabbis had purposely falsified the text of the Old Testament and given erroneous explanations of passages which were capable of a christological interpretation." Christian scholars most certainly did not advocate learning the Hebrew language. ø Reuchlin was exceptional in pursuing and promoting Hebrew studies, believing that a working knowledge of that language was essential for a true appreciation of the Bible and rabbinic literature. Refusing to join Christian contemporaries who wished to destroy the Kabbalah and the Talmud, he spoke out against ignorance. Christians could have a useful dialogue with Jews if they gained a thorough knowledge of the writings of Jewish exegetes and philosophers. Toward that end he proposed university endowments that aroused the fury of opponents and led to the famous "battle of the books." ø Reuchlin's keen interest in Jewish mysticism resulted in the publication of De arte cabalistica in 1517. The first part of this dialogue reflects on messianism, the second part on the relation of the Pythagorean system to the Kabbalah, and tdhe third on the "practical Kabbalah." According to Jones, "Reuchlin demonstrates how Christians can make profitable use of Jewish mystical writings, and therefore shares with the reader his understanding of the art of the Kabbalah." That art will reach more readers in this modern English-language translation by Martin and Sarah Goodman. It reinforces the historical importance of the man who prevented the destruction of Jewish books and anticipated the more liberal climate of the Reformation.

Download or read book 10 Corso Como written by Carla Sozzani and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carla Sozzani opened Galleria Carla Sozzani in September 1990 as a space for art, photography, and design housed in a converted garage at 10 Corso Como in Milan. Along with American artist Kris Ruhs, Sozzani created a space like no other. Rejecting ordinary retail norms, this concept store has always promoted a different philosophy—that of slow shopping, a succession of spaces and events that prioritize lifestyle over object acquisition. In this book, Sozzani describes her world: her style, personal taste, and opinions on fashion, travel, design, and lifestyle. The Galleria now incorporates a bookshop, a fashion and design store, and a garden café, and it is one of Milan’s hippest and most exquisitely curated spaces—a destination in itself. 10 Corso Como has become the nexus of a global network of cultural exchange through fashion, food, art, and photography that continues to inspire fashion and design. In recent years, two additional locations have been added: 10 Corso Como–Comme des Garçons in Tokyo in 2002 and a Seoul branch in 2008.
