Book Synopsis Hume’s Reflection on Religion by : Miguel A. Badía Cabrera
Download or read book Hume’s Reflection on Religion written by Miguel A. Badía Cabrera and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-08-31 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering the Scotsman David Hume (1711-76) to be the most important, influential, and studied philosopher to have written in English, Badia Cabrera (philosophy, U. of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras) could not resist the temptation to translate his 1966 Le reflexion de David Hume en torno a la religion from the Spanish into English. He offers a significantly different view of his work on religion and natural theology than has appeared in the anglophone tradition. Among the aspects he examines are the historical setting of his investigation of religion, the ethical depreciation of religion, and the rejection of miracles. c. Book News Inc.

Book Synopsis Empire in Asia: A New Global History by : Brian P. Farrell
Download or read book Empire in Asia: A New Global History written by Brian P. Farrell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asia was the principle focus of empire-builders from Alexander and Akbar to Chinggis Khan and Qianlong and yet, until now, there has been no attempt to provide a comprehensive history of empire in the region. Empire in Asia addresses the need for a thorough survey of the topic. This volume covers the long 19th century, commonly seen in terms of 'high imperialism' and the global projection of Western power. This volume explores the dynamic, volatile and often contested processes by which, by the early years of the 20th century, Asian states, space and peoples became deeply integrated into the wider dynamics of global reordering. Drawing on case studies from across Asia, the contributors discuss key themes including ideology, concepts of identity, religion and politics, state building and state formation, the relationships between space, people, and sovereignty, the movements of goods, money, people and ideas, and the influence and impact of conflict and military power. The two volumes of Empire in Asia offer a significant contribution to the theory and practice of empire when considered globally and comparatively and are essential reading for all students and scholars of global, imperial and Asian history.

Book Synopsis Narration, Navigation, and Colonialism by : Jamal Eddine Benhayoun
Download or read book Narration, Navigation, and Colonialism written by Jamal Eddine Benhayoun and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The texts collected in this book are all produced and located within the converging fields of navigation and displacement. The connection between navigation and narration becomes clear when we realise that most of the authors and heroes of the accounts discussed by the author were, in one way or another, involved in shipping and navigation and that their accounts were produced within fluid and floating spaces and in the course of intriguing voyages and long cruises. In all cases, these narratives start with the narrators on board ships and end with them once again taking charge of their ships and sailing back home. In this book, the author argues that the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English narratives of adventure and captivity were not produced within clearly demarcated territories and on dry land, but within spaces of indeterminacy, struggle, and transition.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge History of World Music by : Philip V. Bohlman
Download or read book The Cambridge History of World Music written by Philip V. Bohlman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 943 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long known that world music was not merely the globalized product of modern media, but rather that it connected religions, cultures, languages and nations throughout world history. The chapters in this History take readers to foundational historical moments – in Europe, Oceania, China, India, the Muslim world, North and South America – in search of the connections provided by a truly world music. Historically, world music emerged from ritual and religion, labor and life-cycles, which occupy chapters on Native American musicians, religious practices in India and Indonesia, and nationalism in Argentina and Portugal. The contributors critically examine music in cultural encounter and conflict, and as the critical core of scientific theories from the Arabic Middle Ages through the Enlightenment to postmodernism. Overall, the book contains the histories of the music of diverse cultures, which increasingly become the folk, popular and classical music of our own era.

Book Synopsis The Art and Architecture of Islam 1250-1800 by : Sheila S. Blair
Download or read book The Art and Architecture of Islam 1250-1800 written by Sheila S. Blair and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-09-25 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They discuss, for example, how the universal caliphs of the first six centuries gave way to regional rulers and how, in this new world order, Iranian forms, techniques, and motifs played a dominant role in the artistic life of most of the Muslim world; the one exception was the Maghrib, an area protected from the full brunt of the Mongol invasions, where traditional models continued to inspire artists and patrons. By the sixteenth century, say the authors, the eastern Mediterranean under the Ottomans and the area of northern India under the Mughals had become more powerful, and the Iranian models of early Ottoman and Mughal art gradually gave way to distinct regional and imperial styles.

An important element in this change is related to global climate modification. Experts from the natural and social sciences with a strong interest in history discussed common topics of great interest to society. Can the study of climate and history help in devising strategies for coping with this change? What might be the type of information most useful in this context? What are the pitfalls awaiting the unwary? These and similar questions were discussed during a four-day workshop. The resulting proceedings contain comprehensive papers of broad interest, thematic back-ground papers and reports of study groups. Apart from scientists, the papers should interest graduate students and lecturers.
