Sacred Violence: African Christians and Sectarian Hatred in

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shaw, Brent D., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, One route to understanding the nature of specifically religious violence is the study of past conflicts. Distinguished ancient historian Brent D. Shaw provides a new analysis of the intense sectarian battles between the Catholic and Donatist churches of North Africa in late antiquity, in which Augustine played a central role as Bishop of Hippo. The development and deployment of images of hatred, including that of the heretic, the pagan, and the Jew, and the modes by which these were most effectively employed, including the oral world of the sermon, were critical to promoting acts of violence. Shaw explores how the emerging ecclesiastical structures of the Christian church, on one side, and those of the Roman imperial state, on the other, interacted to repress or excite violent action. Finally, the meaning and construction of the acts themselves, including the Western idea of suicide, are shown to emerge from the conflict itself. Acquista Ora

The Key to Newton's Dynamics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brackenridge, J. Bruce, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, While much has been written on the ramifications of Newton's dynamics, until now the details of Newton's solution were available only to the physics expert. "The Key to Newton's Dynamics" clearly explains the surprisingly simple analytical structure that underlies the determination of the force necessary to maintain ideal planetary motion. J. Bruce Brackenridge sets the problem in historical and conceptual perspective, showing the physicist's debt to the works of both Descartes and Galileo. He tracks Newton's work on the Kepler problem from its early stages at Cambridge before , through the revival of his interest ten years later, to its fruition in the first three sections of the first edition of the "Principia."

Beyond the Ivory Tower: The University in the New Millennium

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hoey-Heffron, Angela / Heffron, James, PUBLISHER: Mercier Press, The new millennium is a unique occasion for individuals and organisations to examine their existing role in society, to take stock and to make projections for the future.

Foremost in this quest is the university, where new research in the sciences, medicine and the humanities is proceeding at a pace never before thought possible. The rate of acquisition of new information and knowledge poses new challenges for the traditional university. This book examines many crucial questions, looking at the role of a modern university in the new millennium and the question of academic freedom and university autonomy.

The nine interdisciplinary essays in this centenary volume offer ways of looking at and situation the Expedition's work in historical and intellectual debates. Central themes covered are the relationship between the expedition members and the Torres Strait Islanders: the innovations associated with the Expedition and the Expedition's influence on the development of anthropology and psychology.

Kant's Critique of Pure Reason: An Introduction

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Buroker, Jill Vance, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In this new introductory textbook to Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, Jill Vance Buroker explains the role of this first Critique in Kant's Critical project and offers a line-by-line reading of the major arguments in the text. She situates Kant's views in relation both to his predecessors and to contemporary debates, explaining his Critical philosophy as a response to the failure of rationalism and the challenge of skepticism. Paying special attention to Kant's notoriously difficult vocabulary, she explains the strengths and weaknesses of his arguments, while leaving the final assessment up to the reader. Intended to be read alongside the Critique (also published by Cambridge University Press as part of The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Immanuel Kant in Translation), this guide is accessible to readers with little background in the history of philosophy, but should also be a valuable resource for more advanced students.

Preaching in Medieval England: An Introduction to Sermon

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Owst, G. R. / G. R., Owst, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, First published in , G. R. Owst's Preaching in Medieval England has remained a seminal work on the topic of English sermons of the period . In studying a largely neglected but important aspect of the medieval religious experience, the author adds considerably to our understanding of the pre-Reformation church. The book is in three parts - the preachers, the circumstances of the preaching and reception, and the sermons themselves. In the first section Owst discusses the different classes of preacher, the secular clergy, monks and particularly the wandering friars, famous for their preaching. In the second part he studies the experience of sermons, how, where and when they were delivered, and to whom. The examination of the sermons covers not only their content and language, but also the surviving manuals on preaching and eloquence, and advice to preachers. This wide ranging and scholarly book remains a crucial work on medieval preaching. Acquista Ora
