Nichiren's sangha series Priest Disciples: Sado Ajari Nik_
Author: The Nichiren Mandala Study Workshop
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 136591657X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
Information about Nikō in English has been scarce outside of denominational sources and for the large part in relation to the apparent contrasts with his peer Byakuren Ajari Nikkō or the Hagii family, that later chose to follow Nikō due disagreements around doctrinal matters. This research paper explores the two lineages of Mobara, his hometown and Minobu, where Nikō resided for a long period. The mandalas authored by Nikō and those attributed to him, his network of connections, family background and endeavors might help to reconsider Nikō's career within a broader perspective.

Feminist Interpretations of Mary Daly
Author: Sarah Lucia Hoagland
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 9780271043937
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
This open-ended anthology is a journey into the very canon that Mary Daly has argued to be patriarchal and demeaning to women. This volume deauthorizes the official canon of Western philosophy and disrupts a related story told by some feminists who claim that Daly&’s work is unworthy of re-reading because it contains fatal errors. The editors and contributors attempt to prove that Mary Daly is located in the Western intellectual tradition. Daly may be highly critical of conventional Western epistemological and theological traditions, but she nevertheless appropriates themes &“out-of-context&” for the building of her own systematic philosophy. The following are just a few of the many themes explored in this volume: &• the question of subjectivity understood as an ongoing process of be-coming &• the ambiguity of the need for feminists of colonial nations to speak out about violence against women in other parts of the world while that speaking carries with it the stamp of a colonial location &• the territoriality of lesbian and women&’s space &• the theological dimensions of twentieth-century Western philosophy. Contributors are Wanda Warren Berry, Purushottama Bilimoria, Debra Campbell, Molly Dragiewicz, Frances Gray, Amber L. Katherine, AnaLouise Keating, Anne-Marie Korte, Mar&ía Lugones, Geraldine Moane, Sheilagh A. Mogford, Laurel C. Schneider, Renuka Sharma, and Marja Suhonen.

Creative Women of Korea: The Fifteenth Through the Twentieth Centuries
Author: Young-Key Kim-Renaud
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317473663
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
This book introduces important contributions in the humanities by a select group of traditional and modern Korean women, from the 15th through the 20th centuries. The literary and artistic works of these women are considered Korean classics, and the featured artists and writers range from a queen, to a courtesan, to a Buddhist nun, to unknown women of Korea. Although women's works were generally meant only to circulate among women, these creative expressions have caught the attention of literary and artistic connoisseurs. By bringing them to light, the book seeks to demonstrate how Korean women have tried to give their lives meaning over the ages through their very diverse, yet common artistic responses to the details and drama of everyday life in Confucian Korea. The stories of these women and their work give us glimpses of their personal views on culture, aesthetics, history, society, politics, morality, and more.
