Origen - Ronald E. Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Origen - Ronald E. Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book is about the life and thought of Origen (c.185-254 A.D.), the most important Greek-speaking Christian theologian and Biblical scholar in antiquity. His writings included works on the text of the Bible, commentaries and sermons on most of the books of the Bible, a major defense of the Christian faith against a philosophical skeptic, and the first attempt at writing systematic theology ever made. Ronald E. Heine presents Origen''s work in the context of the two urban centers where he lived-Alexandria in Egypt, and Caesarea in Palestine. Heine argues that these urban contexts and their communities of faith had a discernable impact on Origen''s intellectual work.The study begins with a description of Roman Alexandria where Origen spent the first forty-six years of his life. The thought of the Alexandrian Christian community in which Origen was born and in whose service he produced his first written works is examined from the limited resources that have survived. The remains of Origen''s writings produced in Alexandria provide information about his early theological views as well as the circumstances of his life in Alexandria. Heine discusses the issues of the canon and text of the Bible used by Origen and the Alexandrian Christian community and the special work called the Hexapla which he produced on the text of the Septuagint.Origen''s later life in Caesarea was shaped by pastoral as well as teaching duties. These responsibilities put him in contact with the city''s large Jewish population. Heine argues that the focus of Origen''s thought shifts in this period from his earlier Alexandrian occupation with Gnostic issues to the complex questions concerning the relationship between church and synagogue and the ultimate fate of the Jews. In his final years it appears that Origen was rethinking some of the views he had espoused in his earlier work.

Cognitive Foundations of Grammar - Bernd Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Cognitive Foundations of Grammar - Bernd Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The main function of language is to convey meaning. Therefore, argues Bernd Heine in these pages, the question of why language is structured the way it is must first of all be answered with reference to this function. Linguistic explanations offered in terms of other exponents of language structure (for example, syntax) are likely to highlight peripheral or epi-phenomenal--rather than central--characteristics of language structure. Heine provides a solid introductory treatment of the ways in which language structure (that is, grammar) and language usage can be explained with reference to the processes underlying human conceptualization and communication.Exploring and area of linguistics that has developed only recently and is rapidly expanding, Cognitive Foundations of Grammar will appeal to students of linguistics, psychology, and anthropology, especially those interested in grammaticalization processess.

Xuedou's 100 Odes to Old Cases - Steven Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Xuedou's 100 Odes to Old Cases - Steven Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Xuedou''s 100 Odes to Old Cases is recognized as the seminal discourse in Chan Buddhism, one that has exerted significant influence on the way stories of former teachers (guze) have been appreciated and appropriated for the past thousand years. In this volume, Steven Heine offers a much-needed translation of this pivotal work along with extensive background and commentary. Heine brings important perspective to a 1000-year old text that became the basis for the Blue Cliff Record, which continues to have a profound impact on the overall legacy of East Asian Buddhist intellectual history and religious literature. Xuedou''s verses reflect the author''s unique capacity for taming through elegance the undisciplined and deluded minds of followers struggling with self-imposed obstacles to discern reality and thereby discover inner peace. Xuedou cites multiple Chan sources, uses irregular meter to disrupt the reader''s expectations, and evokes unusual allusions to Chinese lore while often interjecting personal comments or lyrical imagery that goes beyond a reliance on doctrine. Xuedou''s work is timeless, informative, and extremely influential. Heine offers us a glimpse into his mind and work, as we are taken back in time to the birth of the most essential aesthetic qualities of Chan and Zen Buddhist discourse.

Sacred High City, Sacred Low City - Steven Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Sacred High City, Sacred Low City - Steven Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In Sacred High City, Sacred Low City, Steven Heine argues that lived religion in Japan functions as an integral part of daily life; any apparent lack of interest masks a fundamental commitment to participating regularly in diverse, though diffused, religious practices. The book uses case studies of religious sites at two representative but contrasting Tokyo neighborhoods as a basis for reflecting on this apparently contradictory quality. In what ways does Japan continue to carry on and adapt tradition, and to what extent has modern secular society lost touch with the traditional elements of religion? Or does Japanese religiosity reflect another, possibly postmodern, alternative beyond the dichotomy of sacred and secular, in which religious differences as well as a seeming indifference to religion are encompassed as part of a contemporary lifestyle?

The Grammar of Interactives - Bernd Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Grammar of Interactives - Bernd Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book explores a domain of discourse processing referred to as ''interactive grammar'', based on an analysis of grammatical descriptions of over 100 languages spoken across the world. While much previous work has treated interactive grammar as a fairly marginal part of language, Bernd Heine describes it here as a distinct category that contrasts with sentence grammar both in its functions and its structural behavior. He identifies ten types of interactives - i.e. extra-clausal expressions of linguistic discourse: attention signals, directives, discourse markers, evaluatives, ideophones, interjections, response elicitors, response signals, social formulae, and vocatives. The analysis reveals that speakers make use of two contrasting modes for structuring their discourses, both of which are needed for successful communication: one is sentence grammar, which has a propositional format and analytic organization; the other is interactive grammar, which has a holophrastic organization and a focus on social communication. While the argument structure of sentence grammar is shaped by the propositional format of sentences, that of interactive grammar is shaped by the indexical nature of the situation of discourse. This distinction shows interesting correlations both with findings from neurolinguistic studies on differential activity in the two hemispheres of the human brain, and with observations from social psychology on the differences between systems of reasoning and judgment.

Mock-Epic Poetry from Pope to Heine - Ritchie Robertson - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Mock-Epic Poetry from Pope to Heine - Ritchie Robertson - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This is a study of mock-epic poetry in English, French, and German from the 1720s to the 1840s. While mock-heroic poetry is a parodistic counterpart to serious epic, mock-epic poetry starts by parodying epic but moves on to much wider and richer literary explorations; it relies heavily on intertextual allusion to other works, on narratorial irony, on the sympathetic and sometimes libertine presentation of sexual relatons, and on a range of satirical devices. It includes well-known texts (Pope''s Dunciad, Byron''s Don Juan, Heine''s Atta Troll) and others which are little known (Ratschky''s Melchior Striregel, Parny''s La Guerre des Dieux). It owes a marked debt to Italian romance epic (especially Ariosto). The study places these texts in the literary context of the decline of serious epic, which helped mock epic to flourish, and of the ''Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes'' which questioned the authority of Homer''s and Virgil''s epics; and it relates their substance to contemporary debates about questions of religion and gender.

Did Dogen Go to China? - Steven Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Did Dogen Go to China? - Steven Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Dōgen (1200-1253), the founder of the Sōtō Zen sect in Japan, is especially known for introducing to Japanese Buddhism many of the texts and practices that he discovered in China. Heine reconstructs the context of Dōgen''s travels to and reflections on China by means of a critical look at traditional sources both by and about Dōgen in light of recent Japanese scholarship. While many studies emphasize the unique features of Dōgen''s Japanese influences, this book calls attention to the way Chinese and Japanese elements were fused in Dōgen''s religious vision. It reveals many new materials and insights into Dogen''s main writings, including the multiple editions of the Shōbōgenzō, and how and when this seminal text was created by Dōgen and was edited and interpreted by his disciples. This book is the culmination of the author''s thirty years of research on Dōgen and provides the reader with a comprehensive approach to the master''s life works and an understanding of the overall career trajectory of one of the most important figures in the history of Buddhism and Asian religious thought.

Flowers Blooming on a Withered Tree - Steven (professor And Director Of Asian Studies Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Flowers Blooming on a Withered Tree - Steven (professor And Director Of Asian Studies Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a translation and critical bilingual edition on the Verse Comments on the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye. The Verse Comments by Giun (1253-1333), the fifth abbot of Eiheiji temple, is an important early medieval Japanese commentary on the 60-chapter edition of the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye (Shobogenzo), one of the main versions of the masterwork written by Eihei Dogen (1200-1253), the founder of the Soto Zen sect in Japan who established Eiheiji in the mid-1240s.Giun''s Verse Comments was one of only two commentaries of the Treasury written during the Kamakura era, with the other being a prose analysis of the 75-chapter edition, called Prose Comments on the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye, often abbreviated to Distinguished Comments (Gosho). While Distinguished Comments fell into disuse rather quickly and was only revived nearly three hundred years later, the Verse Comments was circulated widely from the time of its composition and read by many Soto monks over the next couple of centuries. Offering poems and cryptic expressions that seek to capture the spiritual flavor and essential meaning of Dogen''s thought as suggested in each chapter, the Verse Comments is crucial for understanding how Dogen''s Treasury was received and appropriated in the religious and literary context of medieval Japan.In this book, Steven Heine''s careful interpretations, historical investigations, and theoretical reflections demonstrate the significance of Giun''s writings in light of the history of pre-modern and modern commentaries on Dogen''s masterwork, the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye.

Wisdom within Words - Steven Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Wisdom within Words - Steven Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Wisdom within Words is the first complete bilingual edition and annotated translation of the poetry collection entitled Kuchugen, which features 150 Chinese-style verses (kanshi) written by Dōgen Zenji (1200-1253), founder of the Soto Zen sect in early medieval Japan, and compiled in the eighteenth century by Menzan Zuiho. These poems are essential in highlighting several key aspects of Dōgen''s manner of thinking and process of writing creatively while transmitting the Chan/Zen tradition from China to Japan in the first half of the thirteenth century. Dōgen learned the Chinese style of writing poetry--featuring four rhyming lines with seven characters each--when he travelled to the mainland in the 1220s. It was there that he first composed 50 verses, the only texts available from this career stage. He continued to write Sinitic poetry throughout his career at both Koshoji temple in Kyoto and Eiheiji temple in the remote mountains. Dōgen''s poems had various aims, including reflecting on meditation during periods of reclusion, commenting on cryptic koan cases, eulogizing deceased patriarchs, celebrating festivals and seasonal occasions, welcoming new administrative appointees at the temple, remarking on the life of the Buddha and other aspects of attaining enlightenment, and highlighting various teachings or instructions. Although Dōgen''s poetry has often been overlooked by the sectarian tradition, these writings have played valuable roles in the development of East Asian Buddhist contemplative life.

The Politics of the Unpolitical - Gordon A. Craig - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of the Unpolitical - Gordon A. Craig - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In this book, Craig deals with a question that has always been a point of controversy: do political writers have responsibility and are they obliged to show political engagement in their work? Craig answers this question by studying ten German writers from 1770-1871, among them Goethe, Schiller, Klein, and Heine and finds that these `unpolitical' writers were actively engaged in their politics.

Literature, the 'Volk' and the Revolution in Mid-19th Century Germany - Michael Perraudin - Bog - Berghahn Books, Incorporated - Plusbog.dk

Literature, the 'Volk' and the Revolution in Mid-19th Century Germany - Michael Perraudin - Bog - Berghahn Books, Incorporated - Plusbog.dk

Between the revolutions of 1830 and 1848, poverty reached new extremes in Germany, as in other European countries, and gave rise to a class of disaffected poor, leading to the widespread expectation of a social revolution. Whether welcomed or feared, it dominated private and public debate to a larger extent than is generally assumed as is shown in this study on the reflections in literature of what was called the "Social Question." Examining works by Heine, Eichendorff, Nestroy, Büchner, Grillparzer, and Theodor Storm, the author reveals an acute awareness of political issues in an era in literature which is often seen as tending to quiescence and withdrawal from public preoccupations.

Lieder Line by Line - Lois Phillips - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

German song in the nineteenth century offers some of the greatest pleasures available to the singer, pianist, and listener. The great German poets - Goethe, Schiller, Rückert, Eichendorff, Heine, Mörike, Hesse, and many lesser figures - inspired such perennial masterpieces as Schubert''s song cycles Die Schöne Müllerin and Winterreise, Schumann''s Dichterliebe, and Mahler''s Die Kindertotenlieder. This book provides the German texts of the most frequently studied and performed songs, and gives literal, word-for-word translations under each line, plus clear English prose versions of each poem. Neither is a singing version, but each contributes to the understanding and appreciation of the song. The composers represented are Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Wagner, Brahms, Wolf, Mahler, and Richard Strauss. This new edition includes numerous corrections and improvements to the translations.

The Chains Are Broken - Poul Borchsenius - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Chains Are Broken - Poul Borchsenius - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Originally published in 1964, this further volume in Poul Borchsenius’ history of the Jewish people, is the story of the emancipation from the time when the Jews lived a segregated life in the ghetto, until the Age of Enlightenment they achieved equality. This was the time of Moses Mendelssohn, the famous philosopher and of the poet Heinrich Heine who gave expression to contemporary thought in his lyrical poetry. It was also the time when the Rothschild dynasty became an economic and political factor in contemporary Europe, and the Dreyfus Affair promoted a new wave of antisemitism. In Eastern Europe, particularly, antisemitism took a violent turn, and it was this that made the founder of Israel, Theodor Herzl, begin to agitate for the establishment of a Jewish national state.
