Poikile Physis Biological Literature in Greek during the Roman Empire Genres, Scopes, and Problems

Poikile Physis Biological Literature in Greek during the Roman Empire Genres, Scopes, and Problems
Poikile Physis: Biological Literature in Greek during the Roman Empire: Genres, Scopes, and Problems by De Brasi, Diego
English | October 3, 2022 | ISBN: 3110796732 | 250 pages | PDF + EPUB | 3 + 2 MB
Biological literature of the Roman imperial period remains somehow 'underestimated'. It is even quite difficult to speak of biological literature for this period at all: biology (apart from medicine) did not represent, indeed, a specific 'subgenre' of scientific literature. Nevertheless, writings as disparate as Philo of Alexandria's Alexander, Plutarch's De sollertia animalium or Bruta ratione uti, Aelian's De Natura Animalium, Oppian's Halieutika, Pseudo-Oppian's Kynegetika, and Basil of Caeserea's Homilies on the Creation engage with zoological, anatomic, or botanical questions. Poikile Physis examines how such writings appropriate, adapt, classify, re-elaborate and present biological knowledge which originated within the previous, mainly Aristotelian, tradition. It offers a holistic approach to these works by considering their reception of scientific material, their literary as well as rhetorical aspects, and their interaction with different socio-cultural conditions. The result of an interdisciplinary discussion among scholars of Greek studies, philosophy and history of science, the volume provides an initial analysis of forms and functions of biological literature in the imperial period.

Pico della Mirandola on Trial Heresy, Freedom, and Philosophy

Pico della Mirandola on Trial Heresy, Freedom, and Philosophy
Pico della Mirandola on Trial: Heresy, Freedom, and Philosophy by Brian P. Copenhaver
English | October 31, 2022 | ISBN: 0192858378 | True EPUB/PDF | 288 pages | 1.4/25.5 MB
Giovanni Pico della Mirandola has been a beacon of progress in modern times, and the Oration on the Dignity of Man has been the engine of his fame. But he never wrote a speech about the dignity of man. The prince's speech announced quite different projects: persuading Christians to become Kabbalists in order to annihilate themselves in God; and convincing philosophers that their path to saving wisdom was concord rather than disputation.

Performing Peace and Friendship The World Youth Festivals and Soviet Cultural Diplomacy

Performing Peace and Friendship The World Youth Festivals and Soviet Cultural Diplomacy
Koivunen, "Performing Peace and Friendship: The World Youth Festivals and Soviet Cultural Diplomacy "
English | ISBN: 311075844X | 2022 | 320 pages | PDF | 40 MB
Performing Peace and Friendship tells the story of how the Soviet Union succeeded in utilizing the World Festival of Youth and Students in its cultural diplomacy from late Stalinism through the early Khrushchev period. Pia Koivunen discusses the evolution of the youth gathering into a Soviet cultural product starting from the first festival held in Prague in 1947 and ending with the Moscow 1957 gathering, the latter becoming one of the most frequently referred moments of Khrushchev's Thaw. By combining both institutional and grass-roots' perspectives, the book widens our understanding of what Soviet cultural diplomacy was in practice, re-evaluates the agency of young people and provides new insights into the Soviet role in the cultural Cold War. Koivunen argues that rather than simply being orchestrated rallies by the Kremlin bureaucrats, the World Youth Festivals also became significant spaces of transnational encounters for young people, who found ways to employ the event for overcoming the various restrictions and boundaries of the Cold War world.
