The Cambridge Companion to Hildegard of Bingen

The Cambridge Companion to Hildegard of Bingen
Jennifer Bain, "The Cambridge Companion to Hildegard of Bingen "
English | ISBN: 1108471358 | 2021 | 320 pages | PDF | 16 MB
This specially commissioned collection of thirteen essays explores the life and works of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), monastic founder, leader of a community of nuns, composer, active correspondent, and writer of religious visions, theological treatises, sermons, and scientific and medical texts. Aimed at advanced university students and new Hildegard researchers, the essays provide a broad context for Hildegard's life and monastic setting, and offer comprehensive discussions on each of the main areas of her output. Engagingly written by experts in medieval history, theology, German literature, musicology, and the history of medicine, the essays are grounded in Hildegard's twelfth-century context, and investigate her output within its monastic and liturgical environments, her reputation during and after her life, and the materiality of the transmission of her works, considering aspects of manuscript layout, illumination, and scribal practices at her Rupertsberg monastery.

Yu Qiuyu is one of China's greatest modern essayists. Sometimes a prickly commentator, he is above all a storyteller. In this volume he takes his inspiration from China's geography, both human and physical, and brings the culture of his country to life with human characters and historical narrative. The forests of Hainan, the Three Gorges, classical pagodas, ancient remains under modern Shanghai, even the open skies... all have their stories and cultural connections, traced with erudition and wit by an inquisitive mind.

The Bet Truth in Science, Literature and Everyday Knowledges

The Bet Truth in Science, Literature and Everyday Knowledges
The Bet: Truth in Science, Literature and Everyday Knowledges By Garry Potter
2020 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1138391352 | PDF | 4 MB
First published in 1999, this epistemological volume takes Searle's 'simple theory' and 'common sense' realism and builds it from the ground up, applying it to some of the most contentious issues in the philosophy of science. Garry Potter shall also attempt to extent his notions of science and realism beyond the subject boundaries to demonstrate the applicability of both scientificity and realism where such a possibility is perhaps most counter-intuitive: literary criticism. Potter thus presents a unified theory of knowledge.
