Possession - Bernd Heine - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Bernd Heine argues that the structure of grammatical categories is predictable to a large extent once we know the range of possible cognitive structures from which they are derived. Heine uses as his example the structure of predicative possession, and shows how most of the possessive constructions to be found in the world's languages can be traced back to a small set of basic conceptual patterns.

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.

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.

White Collar Zen - Steven Heine - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

It is said that in traditional Japan the samurai embraced Zen because it helped them to be fearless in adversity, to act quickly and decisively, and to keep focused on their ultimate goal. In White Collar Zen, Steven Heine shows how, by applying Zen principles in our working lives, we can achieve the same results for ourselves. Heine describes the way Zen embraces two different yet harmonious paths. The Way of the Hermit teaches detachment--the mental clarity you need to view your situation dispassionately and impartially, to perceive who is an ally and who is a competitor, to understand what is possible and what is not. The Way of the Warrior teaches the ability to act without hesitation at the proper moment. Together, they can prepare you to meet the challenges of the modern professional world. Heine offers a step-by-step approach to attaining these skills and applying them in daily life. Using real-world examples interwoven with sayings and stories from the Zen tradition, he shows how Zen can help in situations ranging from gaining a deserved promotion to overcoming obstacles that arise from a breakdown in teamwork. He makes it clear that in Zen the path to personal success must be one that values integrity, respects every individual, emphasizes cooperation, and serves the goals of the larger group. Replete with practical advice, White Collar Zen will appeal to many of the same readers who have made The Art of War and The Book of Five Rings so successful. It will certainly fascinate anyone interested in applying Zen principles to achieving professional excellence.

Poetics of Breathing - Stefanie Heine - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

A comparative study of breath and breathing as a core poetic and compositional principle in modern literature. Breathing and its rhythms-liminal, syncopal, and usually inconspicuous-have become a core poetic compositional principle in modern literature. Examining moments when breath''s punctuations, cessations, inhalations, or exhalations operate at the limits of meaningful speech, Stefanie Heine explores how literary texts reflect their own mediality, production, and reception in alluding to and incorporating pneumatic rhythms, respiratory sound, and silent pauses. Through close readings of works by a series of pairs-Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg; Robert Musil and Virginia Woolf; Samuel Beckett and Sylvia Plath; and Paul Celan and Herta Müller- Poetics of Breathing suggests that each offers a different conception of literary or poetic breath as a precondition of writing. Presenting a challenge to historical and contemporary discourses that tie breath to the transcendent and the natural, Heine traces a decoupling of breath from its traditional association with life , and asks what literature might lie beyond.

Forskningsfrihed - Heine Andersen - Bog - Hans Reitzels Forlag - Plusbog.dk

Moderne samfund er i stigende grad og på næsten alle områder afhængige af forskning. Den skal være til at stole på. Det er den kun, hvis der er forskningsfrihed. Adgang til forskningsresultater er en ressource og en magtbase, og forskningsfrihed er en af grundpillerne i et oplyst demokrati. Forskningsfrihed er en forudsætning for en åben og udogmatisk kultur. Men spørgsmålet er, hvordan det ser ud med forskningsfriheden i dag. Fra politisk hold er der tendenser til at styre både forskeres valg af emner og deres ret til at ytre sig frit. Og efterhånden som en større andel af forskningen finansieres eksternt, kan der også være en kommerciel barriere, dels for hvad der kan blive forsket i, dels for hvilke resultater der kan blive offentliggjort. Internt på universiteterne er topstyringen vokset, hvilket også presser forskernes bevægefrihed. I Forskningsfrihed - ideal og virkelighed kulegraver professor emeritus Heine Andersen forskningsfrihedens status i dag og giver et overblik over, hvad danske forskere kan og ikke kan forske i og ytre sig om. Bogen dykker ned i de seneste års mange sager om forskningsfrihed i forhold til bl.a. landbrug, medicinalindustri og vindmølleindustri og viser, at den frie forskning på mange områder må siges at være under pres.

The Non-Aligned World - Jorge Heine - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Non-Alignment is back with a vengeance. In recent years, the number of countries embracing this venerable approach to foreign policy has increased exponentially, making it a force to be reckoned with in world affairs. The war in Ukraine, the expansion of the BRICS group, and the conflict in Gaza have given a special impetus to its rise in a new form: Active Non-Alignment (ANA). This has gone hand-in-hand with the growing power and influence of the Global South in world politics. In this agenda-setting book, Jorge Heine, Carlos Fortin and Carlos Ominami, explain the origins, dynamics and significance of ANA, for the future of world order. Far from a transitory expression of the current state of affairs, they argue that ANA is here to stay. It provides a powerful guide to action and a fine-tuned compass for the Global Majority, that is, the countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, to strike out and prioritize their national interests, whilst navigating the perilous waters of a troubled world in the throes of change.

Bargainin' for Salvation - Steven Heine - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A thoughtful examination of Dylan''s oeuvre through the lens of Buddhism One of the mysteries of Bob Dylan''s incredible corpus is why he seems to veer and zigzag so drastically and dramatically from one extreme standpoint to another. Throughout his career, rapid, radical transitions in musical style and public persona have either inspired or shocked different sectors of his fans. Is Dylan''s work complex and contradictory, or is there an underlying consistency and continuity to its seemingly chaotic ebb and flow? Steven Heine argues that Dylan actually embraces two radically distinct worldviews at alternating periods. One is prevalent in his Protest (early ''60s), Country (late ''60s), and Gospel (late ''70s) phases; it finds Dylan expressing moral outrage by endorsing a single higher truth based on a right-versus-wrong philosophy. The second view appears during periods of Dylan''s disillusionment in the mid ''60s ("Desolation Row"), mid ''70s ("Tangled Up in Blue"), and mid ''80s ("Jokerman"), finding him disenchanted with one-sided proclamations of truth, and wandering, seemingly aimless, amid a relativistic world of masks and disguises where nothing is ever what it claims to be. Throughout his various stages, Dylan''s work reveals an affinity with the Zen worldview, where enlightenment can be attained through meditation, self-contemplation and intuition rather than through faith and devotion. Much has been made of Dylan''s Christian periods, but never before has a book engaged Dylan''s deep and rich oeuvre through a Buddhist lens. Forgoing Christianity and Western views for Zen and Buddhism, Bargainin'' for Salvation will capture your attention and direct it toward the East.

Temples of the African Gods - Johan Heine - Bog - Zulu Planet Publishers - Plusbog.dk

A scientific expose that will shatter our knowledge of ancient human history. Scholars have told us that the first civilisation on Earth emerged in a land called Sumer some 6000 years ago. New archaeological and scientific discoveries made by Michael Tellinger, Johan Heine and a team of leading scientists, show that the Sumerians and even the Egyptians inherited all their knowledge from an earlier civilisation that lived at the southern tip of Africa more than 200,000 years ago mining gold. These were also the people who carved the first Horus bird, the first Sphinx, built the first pyramids and built an accurate stone calendar right in the heart of it all. Adam''s Calendar is the flagship among millions of circular stone ruins, ancient roads, agricultural terraces and thousands of ancient mines, left behind by a vanished civilisation which we now call the FIRST PEOPLE. They carved detailed images into the hardest rock, worshipped the sun, and are the first to carve an image of the Egyptian Ankh -- key of life and universal knowledge, 200,000 years before the Egyptians came to light. This book graphically exposes these discoveries and will be the catalyst for rewriting our ancient human history. The book is a continuation of Tellinger''s previous books "Slave Species of God" and "Adam''s Calendar" which have become favourites with readers in over 20 countries.
