The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Education By Harvey Siegel
2009 | 576 Pages | ISBN: 0195312880 | PDF | 3 MB
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Education serves as a general introduction to key issues in the field, furthers the philosophical pursuit of those issues, and hopes to bring philosophy of education back into closer contact with general philosophy. Philosophy of education has an honored place in the history of Western philosophical thought. Its questions are as vital now, both philosophically and practically, as they have ever been. In recent decades, however, philosophical thinking about education has largely fallen off the philosophical radar screen. Philosophy of education has lost intimate contact with the parent discipline to a regrettably large extent-to the detriment of both. The articles in this volume cover a broad range of philosophical questions concerning education. The articles provide surveys of the general domain they address, and advance the discussion in those domains in original and fruitful ways. Together their articles constitute a new wave of general philosophic thinking taking up fundamental philosophical questions about education.

The Outer Planets and Their Cycles: The Astrology of the Collective By Liz Greene
1996 | 182 Pages | ISBN: 0916360601 | PDF | 23 MB
This book is a classic work on mundane astrology, and is a transcription of a weekend of seminars given in 1980. Liz Greene explores the meaning of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, in both individual and national charts and in terms of the collective social, religious, artistic and political movements reflected by their through the zodiacal signs, and their repeating interaction with the cycles of Saturn. Long before astrologers began to focus seriously on the collective movements reflected by the outer planets, this book predicted major world events such as the collapse of the Soviet Union, the formation of a united Europe, and the rise of religious fundamentalism. Although the original text has been left unchanged, it is as relevant and timely now, as it was at its publication. This revised new edition includes appendices, notes and comments which update the information and bring it into the 21st century. For anyone from student to professional astrologer concerned with the ways in which the individual interacts with the larger world, this book is essential reading.

Per Bilde, "The Originality of Jesus: A Critical Discussion and a Comparative Attempt"
English | 2013 | pages: 302 | ISBN: 3525536097 | PDF | 1,8 mb
For the first time in the history of modern Jesus research, Per Bilde aims his scholarly interest at the originality of the historical Jesus. Accordingly he examines the historical Jesus and 14 contemporary Jewish Palestinian figures who, in one or more respects, can be argued to be comparable to Jesus. He comes to the conclusion that Jesus can be regarded as similar to a number of these figures, however, some more than others, and that he appears to be unique in some other respects.

The Macedonians in Athens, 322-229 B.C.: Proceedings of an International Conference Held at the University of Athens, May 24-26, 2001 By Olga Palagia; Stephen V Tracy
2016 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 1785705296 | PDF | 36 MB
For a century following the end of the Lamian War in 322 B.C., Athens' harbour at Pireus was almost constantly occupied by a Macedonian garrison. The Macedonian presence dealt a crucial blow to Athenian independence and Athenian democracy, initiating the first in a long and intermittent series of foreign occupations. The twenty-eight papers in this volume are based on an international conference hosted by the University of Athens in May 2001, and focus on various aspects of Athenian art, archaeology and history in the century of Macedonian domination. They consider Athens' new role as a political stepping stone for potential Successors to the throne of Macedon - Cassander, Demetrios Poliorketes and Antigonos Gonatas were each able to secure Macedonia by using Athens as a power base - and the ways in which Athenian culture was affected by the Macedonian presence. They contribute to the ongoing debate about the reasons for the Macedonian ascendancy, the degree of independence accorded Athens by their Macedonian overlords, the third-century archon list, and changes in Athenian art and architecture.
