Classical Islam A History 600 A

Classical Islam A History 600 A

In a book written with the poignancy and beauty appropriate to its subject matter the author opens by reminding us that the essence of a society is in a sense identical with its history. Classical Islam also serves as a reminder that in the case of Islam despite its triumphs on the fields of battle telling its history is the only way open to us to render that essence accessible and show it from all sides. The work offers a grand narrative of a faith that offers an interpretation of the world a way of life and a style of thinking that goes far beyond institutional or political supports. The relevance of this historical perspective is beyond dispute. The period from 610 A. D. when Muhammad received his call until the conquest of Baghdad by the Mongols in 1258 is known as the classical period of Islam. This was the period of the great expansion of Islam both as a political structure and as a religious and intellectual community. It established the base for the development of the high Islamic civilization of North Africa the Near East Persia and India as well as further expansion of the Islamic religious and intellectual community throughout the world. This book presents an authoritative history of the period written by one of the world's leading experts on the subject. Classical Islam examines the relationships both cultural and political between the Islamic world and the Mediterranean countries and India and elaborates on the economic social and intellectual factors and forces that shaped the Muslim world and molded its interactions with infidels. The work is written in a clear and direct narrative form emphasizing simultaneously the major intellectual trends and the political events and tendencies of the formative period in Islamic history that still resonates today. | Classical Islam A History 600 A

What is this Professor Freud Like? A Diary of an Analysis with Historical Comments

What is this Professor Freud Like? A Diary of an Analysis with Historical Comments

In 1921 a young female doctor started analysis with Sigmund Freud. In a diary she recorded what moved her. The present volume not only contains a full translation of these records but also collects four essays by two psychoanalysts and two analytical historians who take their cue from the young doctor's notes to think about Freud and his methods. The discovery of the diary marks a small sensation for the history of social science. Three factors make the document unique: first it records not a training analysis but the analysis of an actual patient second the analysis took place before Freud fell ill with cancer and third the analysand obviously noted down what was said in the practice word by word. | What is this Professor Freud Like?

Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

Reckoning with Change in Yucatán engages with how best to look upon and respond to change arguing that this debate is an important arena for negotiating local belonging and a force of transformation in its own right. For residents of Chunchucmil a historic rural community in Yucatán Mexico history is anything but straightforward. Living in what is both a defunct 19th-century hacienda estate and a vibrant Catholic pilgrimage site Chunchucmileños reckon past present and future in radically different ways. For example while some use the aging estate buildings to weave a history of economic decline and push for revitalization by hotel developers others highlight the growing fame of the Virgin of the Rosary in the attached church and vow to defend the site from developer interference. By exploring how past and future are channeled through changing built environments landscapes sacred relics and legal documents this ethnographic study details how the politics of change provide Chunchucmileños with a common language for debating commitments to place and each another in the present. Against Western notions of ‘History’ as a relatively coherent account of change the book suggests we reframe it as an ongoing performance that is always fractured democratic and morally tinged. | Reckoning with Change in Yucatán Histories of Care and Threat on a Former Hacienda

The Ethics of Becoming a Good Teacher In Conversation with Aristotle and Confucius

The Ethics of Becoming a Good Teacher In Conversation with Aristotle and Confucius

This book explores Aristotelian and Confucian wisdom traditions to understand education and what counts as a good teacher in an embodied dialogic approach. The book creates a dialogue between ancient ideas and the author’s lived experiences as a teacher in cross-cultural landscapes today to ruminate on the important themes of educational purpose teacher excellence teacher-student relationships and teaching skill. It asks fundamental educational questions including Why Do We Educate? Eudaimonia and Dao; What Do We Educate? Phronesis Philia and Ren; and How Do We Educate? Techne and Liuyi. Moving beyond the dominant epistemological concerns such as how to teach more effectively to help students gain better marks in schools it constitutes an ethical inquiry that illuminates the values purposes concerns and hopes that animate genuinely educational work. Using a comparative approach to wisdom traditions from both the East and the West it addresses parochialism and challenges Eurocentric research paradigms. Embedded in the messy ground of teaching in intergenerational and cross-cultural narratives the author’s own experiences as a student/teacher/daughter of a teacher/mother of a student crucially unpacks and concretizes ancient concepts and reactivates them in concrete situations. A sense of a whole without completeness a conception of the good without closure and an aspiration without achievement continue to haunt the search for an ultimate answer to the question what counts as a good teacher?. It will appeal to scholars teachers and teacher educators with an interest in narrative inquiry and educational research as well as those in the field of curriculum studies and the philosophy of education. | The Ethics of Becoming a Good Teacher In Conversation with Aristotle and Confucius

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

The main values and principles of Transactional Analysis in its original psychodynamic matrix become a concrete experience in this book thanks to the accurate description of the daily practice of a long-experienced therapist: Anna Emanuela Tangolo. Analyzing several cases the author examines the clinical tools of Berne's group therapy and the analysis of dreams without however neglecting other important aspects such as preparing the setting or leading an interview. Particular relevance is given to the therapeutic relationship seen as the interweaving of an experience in order to send stimuli to the patient so as to re-structure his or her intrapsychic world through rigorous and precise inputs analysable in linguistic sequences. This book is meant not only for those who study psychotherapy but also for anyone who wants to learn about clinical TA and its functioning. | Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

Celia in Search of a Husband: By a Modern Antique

Celia in Search of a Husband: By a Modern Antique

This ground-breaking nineteenth-century volume is of considerable scholarly interest as an example of a femino-centric popular novel. Celia in Search of a Husband is a high-spirited and entertaining example of an anti-Jacobin novel written at the height of the backlash against female intellectuals during the Napoleonic wars. Despite this hostile climate the author sought to acknowledge the importance of female education and independence whilst at the same time endorsing the traditional Christian teaching that a wife should be subordinate to her husband. Although second wave feminists prioritized the progressive writers with whom they more readily identified more recent scholarship has rightly paid close attention to conservative or moralist writers such as Miss Byron and recognized how influential they were. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary this edition of Celia in Search of a Husband contributes to this scholarship on the literary history of women’s writing and will be a welcome to those with a particularly interest in women’s writing satiric novels and spoofs and Jane Austen. | Celia in Search of a Husband: By a Modern Antique
