Abstract

There is a half-sentence in 59 of Kant s Critique of Judgment that appears relatively abruptly and is often overlooked: so all of our knowledge of God is merely symbolic. This study attempts to understand this statement by means of an interpretation of the first part of 59. This interpretation opens up topics like Kant s concept of symbols, the status of religious symbols, the relationship between symbol and analogy, and Kant s understanding of the relation of human knowledge to a transcendent God. The book manages to contribute to an understanding both of Kant s philosophy of religion and of philosophical theology.

Abstract

This book systematically and consistently analyses a wide range of symbols for Europe, critically interpreting their often contradictory or ambiguous dimensions of meaning and uncovering several astonishing aspects of how Europe is currently identified - from above by the political elites as well as from below in critical arts or everyday life; from the inside by European actors but also from the outside by its surrounding others. The focus is on the European Union's main symbols, but they are interpreted in relation to a diverse range of other alternatives, so as to uncover the main facets of

Abstract

L'étude du symbole, du mythe et du rite, termine la trilogie consacrée à l'homo religiosus et à son expérience du sacré. La synthèse des éléments essentiels dégagés dans le parcours de mille sept cents pages confirme la pensée de Mircea Eliade estimant que l'histoire des religions est susceptible de nous ouvrir à un nouvel humanisme, voire d'esquisser une nouvelle anthropologie religieuse. Cet essai permet, d'une part, d'aboutir à une anthropologie religieuse fondamentale et, d'autre part, d'ouvrir des perspectives nouvelles pour l'étude des anthropologies spécifiques ou sectorielles telles que l'anthropologie indo-européenne, l'anthropologie brahamique, l'anthropologie bouddhique, l'anthropologie grecque, l'anthropologie islamique. L'Epilogue du présent volume en expose les structures.

Abstract

IG II2 2318–2325 represent the most substantial surviving body of evidence for the institutional history of the Athenian dramatic festivals from their establishment at the end of the 6th century BCE to their disappearance sometime in the mid- to late 100s. Millis and Olson offer a completely updated text of the inscriptions, based on a close study of the stones themselves; detailed explanations of the restorations of the dimensions and organization of the original records, with numerous redatings and the like; and new — and in some cases radically different — reconstructions of the monuments on which they were inscribed. The volume also includes substantial interpretative essays on each set of records, a full epigraphic and prosopographic commentary, and several indices.

Abstract

The peoples who inhabited Europe during the two millennia before the Roman conquests had established urban centers, large-scale production of goods such as pottery and iron tools, a money economy, and elaborate rituals and ceremonies. Yet as Peter Wells argues here, the visual world of these late prehistoric communities was profoundly different from those of ancient Rome's literate civilization and today's industrialized societies. Drawing on startling new research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology, Wells reconstructs how the peoples of pre-Roman Europe saw the world and their place in it. He sheds new light on how they communicated their thoughts, feelings, and visual perceptions through the everyday tools they shaped, the pottery and metal ornaments they decorated, and the arrangements of objects they made in their ritual places--and how these forms and patterns in turn shaped their experience. How Ancient Europeans Saw the World offers a completely new approach to the study of Bronze Age and Iron Age Europe, and represents a major challenge to existing views about prehistoric cultures. The book demonstrates why we cannot interpret the structures that Europe's pre-Roman inhabitants built in the landscape, the ways they arranged their settlements and burial sites, or the complex patterning of their art on the basis of what these things look like to us. Rather, we must view these objects and visual patterns as they were meant to be seen by the ancient peoples who fashioned them.
