Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Magic and Fetishism by Alfred C. Haddon.This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its time. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.Alfred Cort Haddon was born on May 24, 1855, near London, the oldest son of John Haddon, head of a firm of founders and printers. She attended lectures at King's College London and taught zoology and geology at a girls' school in Dover, before entering Christ's College Cambridge in 1875.At Cambridge he studied zoology and became friends with John Holland Rose (later Harmsworth Professor of Naval History), whose sister he married in 1881. Shortly after earning his master's degree in Arts, he was appointed Protester in Zoology at Cambridge in 1879. During for a time he studied marine biology in Naples.

ISBN: 1683072502

Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck (1854–1921) is widely celebrated as one of the top theologians in the Reformed tradition, and through the ongoing labor of translation teams, editors, and publishers, his vast writings are being offered anew to English-only readers. This book brings the groundbreaking framework of Bavinck‘s “organic motif” to the fore in one of Bavinck‘s most influential works. In the best sense of the title, the modern, yet orthodox Bavinck offers readers here both a philosophy of revelation and a philosophy of revelation. Philosophy of Revelation was originally presented by Bavinck at the Stone Lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1908, that by itself deserves being published. This classic text is updated and annotated and may function as a supreme entry into the mind of Bavinck. Bavinck saw theology as the task of “thinking God‘s thoughts after him and tracing their unity.” This project can be seen as “thinking Bavinck‘s thoughts after him and tracing their unity.” Chapters include: The Idea of a Philosophy of RevelationRevelation and PhilosophyRevelation and NatureRevelation and HistoryRevelation and ReligionRevelation and ChristianityRevelation and Religious ExperienceRevelation and CultureRevelation and the Future Cory Brock is the assistant Pastor at First Presbyterian in Jackson, Mississippi.

Statues

Statues

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
Total Pages: 223
Release: 2014-12-18
Genre: Philosophy
ISBN: 1472522060

In this first English translation of one of his most important works, Michel Serres presents the statue as more than a static entity: for Serres it is the basis for knowledge, society, the subject and object, the world and experience. Serres demonstrates how sacrificial art founded and still persists in society and reflects on the centrality of death and the statufied dead body to the human condition. Each section covers a different time period and statuary topic, ranging from four thousand years ago to 1986; from Baal, the paintings of Carpaccio, and the Eiffel Tower, to Rodin's The Gates of Hell, the Challenger disaster and the literature of Maupassant, La Fontaine and Jules Verne. Expository, lyrical, fictionalized and hallucinatory, Statues plays with time and place, history and story in order to provoke us into thinking in entirely new ways. Through mythic and poetic meditations on various kinds of descent into the underworld and new insights into the relation of the subject and object and their foundation in death, Statues contains great treasures and provocations for philosophers, literary critics, art historians and sociologists.
