The Machiavellian Moment Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Republican Tradition【電子書籍】[ John Greville Agard Pocock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Originally published in 1975, <em>The Machiavellian Moment</em> remains a landmark of historical and political thought. Celebrated historian J.G.A. Pocock looks at the consequences for modern historical and social consciousness arising from the ideal of the classical republic revived by Machiavelli and other thinkers of Renaissance Italy. Pocock shows that Machiavelli's prime emphasis was on the moment in which the republic confronts the problem of its own instability in time, which Pocock calls the "Machiavellian moment."</p> <p>After examining this problem in the works of Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and Giannotti, Pocock turns to the revival of republican ideology in Puritan England and in Revolutionary and Federalist America. He argues that the American Revolution can be considered the last great act of civic humanism of the Renaissance and he relates the origins of modern historicism to the clash between civic, Christian, and commercial values in eighteenth-century thought.</p> <p>This Princeton Classics edition of <em>The Machiavellian Moment</em> features a new introduction by Richard Whatmore.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,203円

Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored Unveiling the Mysteries of Alchemy: Symbolism, History, and Practices Revealed【電子書籍】[ Archibald Cockren ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored," Archibald Cockren embarks on an intellectual odyssey that reinvigorates the ancient practice of alchemy through a modern lens. The book weaves together historical narratives, philosophical musings, and empirical analysis, deftly traversing the boundaries between mysticism and science. Cockren's literary style is both accessible and erudite, inviting readers to engage with the complexities of alchemical thought while illuminating its influence on contemporary scientific discourse. Delving into primary texts, he meticulously restores the profound significance of alchemy, challenging the dismissal of its practitioners as mere charlatans in the face of modernity. Archibald Cockren, a noted historian of science with a passion for esoteric traditions, draws upon his extensive background in both philosophy and experimental chemistry as the foundation for this work. His unique perspective is augmented by years of research into alchemical manuscripts and a desire to reclaim the intellectual rigor of alchemical traditions. Cockren's journey through the annals of history reveals how alchemical methodologies laid the groundwork for modern scientific inquiry, advocating for their rightful place in the evolution of human thought. I highly recommend "Alchemy Rediscovered and Restored" to both scholars and enthusiasts alike. This book not only serves as a clarion call for the revival of interest in the historical interplay between alchemy and science but also encourages readers to ponder the philosophical implications of transformation and knowledge. Cockren's work is a crucial addition to the library of anyone fascinated by the intricate tapestry of human inquiry.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 310円

Postbop Jazz in the 1960s The Compositions of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea【電子書籍】[ Keith Waters ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Innovations in postbop jazz compositions of the 1960s occurred in several dimensions, including harmony, form, and melody. Postbop jazz composers such as Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea broke with earlier tonal jazz traditions. Their compositions marked a departure from the techniques of jazz standards and original compositions that defined small-group repertory through the 1950s: single-key orientation, schematic 32-bar frameworks (in AABA or ABAC forms), and tonal harmonic progressions. The book develops analytical pathways through a number of compositions, including "El Gaucho," "Penelope," "Pinocchio," "Face of the Deep" (Shorter); "King Cobra," "Dolphin Dance," "Jessica" (Hancock); "Windows," "Inner Space," "Song of the Wind" (Corea); as well as "We Speak" (Little); "Punjab" (Henderson); "Beyond All Limits" (Shaw). These case studies offer ways to understand their harmonic syntax, melodic and formal designs, and general principles of harmonic substitution. By locating points of contact among these postbop techniques-and by describing their evolution from previous tonal jazz practices-the book illustrates the syntactic changes that emerged during the 1960s.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,075円

Barbarism and Religion: Volume 5, Religion: The First Triumph【電子書籍】[ J. G. A. Pocock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This fifth volume in John Pocock's acclaimed sequence on Barbarism and Religion turns to the controversy caused by Edward Gibbon's treatment of the early Christian church. Examining this controversy in unprecedented depth, Pocock challenges the assumption that Gibbon wrote with the intention of destroying belief in the Christian revelation, and questions our understanding of the character of 'enlightenment'. Reconsidering the genesis, inception and reception of these crucial chapters of Decline and Fall, Pocock explores the response of Gibbon's critics, affirming that his reputation as an unbeliever was established before his history of the Church had been written. The magnitude of Barbarism and Religion is already apparent. Religion: The First Triumph will be read not just as a remarkable analysis of the making of Decline and Fall, but also as a comment on the collision of belief and disbelief, a subject as pertinent now as it was to Gibbon's eighteenth-century readers.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,471円

The Religion of Geology and Its Connected Sciences Exploring the Divine in Geological Science【電子書籍】[ Edward Hitchcock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Religion of Geology and Its Connected Sciences," Edward Hitchcock presents a profound exploration of the intersection between geological sciences and religious thought. The book combines meticulous scientific inquiry with philosophical introspection, as Hitchcock addresses how geological findings can coexist with the theological views of the time. His literary style is characterized by a systematic approach, employing clear, erudite prose that invites a broad readership to engage with complex ideas. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America, a period marked by significant scientific advancement and theological debate, Hitchcock's work serves as a crucial dialogue between science and faith, asserting that geological evidence can enhance, rather than threaten, religious belief. Edward Hitchcock, a prominent geologist and paleontologist, was deeply influenced by both his scientific background and his commitment to spirituality. As a professor and the president of Amherst College, Hitchcock was at the forefront of geological research during a time when the theory of evolution and the age of the Earth were hotly debated topics. His dual passions for nature and theology informed his views, leading him to seek harmony between what science reveals and the spiritual truths upheld by religion. Highly recommended for scholars and general readers alike, this book is essential for anyone interested in the dialogue between science and religion. Hitchcock's nuanced perspective not only sheds light on the geological sciences but also offers a compelling discussion on the implications of those findings for faith. Readers will find themselves enriched and challenged by Hitchcock's earnest endeavor to bridge these seemingly disparate realms.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円

Storks, Ibises and Spoonbills of the World【電子書籍】[ James Hancock ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Everything you ever wanted to know about storks, ibises and spoonbills.</strong></p> <p>Some of the world's largest and most spectacular birds are to be found among this group of wading birds. Tragically, they also include many of the world's most endangered species, as changes in land use erode their wetland habitats.</p> <p>Some like the White Stork have lived alongside humans for hundreds of years and are well known from numerous studies. Others, like the Storm's stork and ibises of West Africa, South-East Asia and South America live so secluded a life in the remote corners of the globe that they will probably be extinct before even the most basic details of their biology are known.</p> <p>In this monograph, three authors and two artists have combined their skills to capture what is known of this group of wading birds. The text opens with general chapters on taxonomy and feeding, breeding and behaviour, followed by detailed coverage of each species.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 10,275円
