Book Description
Un giovane pescatore imprigiona per sbaglio una sirena nella sua rete. La lascia andare in cambio di una promessa: ogni giorno, la sirena tornerà da lui e canterà per attirare i pesci. Giorno dopo giorno, i due si innamorano, ma il giovane non può seguirla in fondo al mare, perché, diversamente da lei, ha un’anima umana. L’unico modo che ha di realizzare il suo sogno, perciò, è sbarazzarsi della sua anima. Ma è una scelta che avrà delle conseguenze.

Brill's Companion to Crantor of Soli
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004708782
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
This book represents the first monograph (miscellany) entirely devoted to Crantor of Soli (app. 335–275 BCE), an outstanding figure of the Old Academy. He was in particular famous for his On Grief, an exemplary work of consolation literature, and for his being the first commentator of Plato’s Timaeus. Unlike his darling Arcesilaus of Pitane, who initiated the Sceptical turn, Crantor seems to have stuck firm to the Academic teachings of Polemon and Plato. The contributions collected in this book aim to convey a complete picture of Crantor by discussing various aspects of his philosophy and biography.

Giordano Bruno and the Kabbalah
Author: Karen Silvia DeLe¢n-Jones
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803266464
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Giordano Bruno (1548?1600), a defrocked Dominican monk, was convicted of heresy by the Roman Catholic Inquisition and burned at the stake in Rome. He had spent fifteen years wandering throughout Europe on the run from Counter-Reformation intelligence and eight years in prison under interrogation. The author of more than sixty works on mathematics, science, ethics, philosophy, metaphysics, the art of memory and esoteric mysticism, Bruno had a profound impact on Western thought. Until now his involvement with Jewish mysticism has never been fully explored. Karen Silvia de Le¢n-Jones presents an engaging and illuminating discussion of his mystical understanding and use of Jewish and Christian Kabbalah, theology, and philosophy, including the famous Hermetica, and especially his exploration and use of magic to reveal the mysteries of the universe and the divine.

The Immediacy of Mystical Experience in the European Tradition
Author: Miklós Vassányi
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319450697
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
This volume examines mystical experiences as portrayed in various ways by “authors” such as philosophers, mystics, psychoanalysts, writers, and peasant women. These “mystical authors” have, throughout the ages, attempted to convey the unsayable through writings, paintings, or oral stories. The immediate experience of God is the primary source and ultimate goal of these mystical expressions. This experience is essentially ineffable, yet all mystical authors, either consciously or unconsciously, feel an urge to convey what they have undergone in the moments of rapture. At the same time they are in the role of intermediaries: the goal of their self-expression – either written, painted or oral – is to make others somehow understand or feel what they have experienced, and to lead others toward the spiritual goal of human life. This volume studies the mystical experiences and the way they have been described or portrayed in West-European culture, from Antiquity to the present, from an interdisciplinary perspective, and approaches the concept of “immediate experience” in various ways.
