Set against the backdrop of the Enlightenment, the work explores themes of solitude, self-discovery, and the relationship between humanity and nature, effectively positioning Rousseau's musings within a broader discourse on individualism and existential inquiry. Rousseau, a pivotal figure in Romantic philosophy, was profoundly influenced by his experiences of alienation and introspection. His tumultuous life'ーmarked by ambition, exile, and a longing for authenticity'ーshapes the reflective tone of the "Reveries." Through these wanderings in both mind and nature, Rousseau seeks to reconcile his fragmented identity with the philosophies of his time, offering a window into his inner turmoil and aspirations toward a more natural, fulfilling existence. For readers seeking to delve into the nexus of emotion and philosophy, Rousseau's reveries provide a compelling exploration of solitude as both a source of pain and enlightenment.

There may always be questions about the virus origin and what should or should not have been done to stop it, but the profound effect on private citizens and their response is indisputable. In many cases, there was nothing the general public could do but hope and pray. A shortage of face masks gave people the opportunity to do something.<br /> Over the years, the cost of fabric and equipment and the availability of finished product in stores changed the priorities of many Americans. They could buy an article of clothing for less than it would cost to make it. Sewing had not become a lost art, but it had become specialized.<br /> During the mask shortage, those who knew how to sew and had the equipment saw what appeared to be a simple solution ? handcrafted masks. They had remnants everywhere. Internet provided free mask patterns, and so they began to turn out masks by the thousands.<br /> As the weeks of mask making turned into months, mask makers began to struggle with isolation, fatigue and the sacrifice of a normal life.<br /> In "Mask Makers of the 2020 Pandemic," some mask makers tell their personal stories and, most importantly, what kept them going.</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。 450円

The Kama Sutra (ANNOTATED)【電子書籍】[ Mallanaga V?tsy?yana ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This is a great eBook. We have tried to annotate this book by writing a summary at the end of the book. We had added almost 48000 words in our long summary and about 7400 words in our short summary of the book. the brief description is written as follows:-Kamasutra is the oldest surviving Hindu text on erotic love. It is a sutra-genre text with terse aphoristic verses that have survived into the modern era with different bhasya (exposition and commentaries). The text is a mix of prose and anustubh-meter poetry verses. The text acknowledges the Hindu concept of Purusharthas, and lists desire, sexuality, and emotional fulfillment as one of the proper goals of life. Its chapters discuss methods for courtship, training in the arts to be socially engaging, finding a partner, flirting, maintaining power in a married life, when and how to commit adultery, sexual positions, and other topics. The majority of the book is about the philosophy and theory of love, what triggers desire, what sustains it, and how and when it is good or bad. The text is one of many Indian texts on Kama Shastra. It is a much-translated work in Indian and non-Indian languages. The Kamasutra has influenced many secondary texts that followed after the 4th-century CE, as well as the Indian arts as exemplified by the pervasive presence Kama-related reliefs and sculpture in old Hindu temples. Of these, the Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh is a UNESCO world heritage site. Among the surviving temples in north India, one in Rajasthan sculpts all the major chapters and sexual positions to illustrate the Kamasutra. According to Wendy Doniger, the Kamasutra became "one of the most pirated books in English language" soon after it was published in 1883 by Richard Burton. This first European edition by Burton does not faithfully reflect much in the Kamasutra because he revised the collaborative translation by Bhagavanlal Indrajit and Shivaram Parashuram Bhide with Forster Arbuthnot to suit 19th-century Victorian tastes.Vatsyayana Mallanaga is its widely accepted author because his name is embedded in the colophon verse, but little is known about him. Vatsyayana states that he wrote the text after much meditation. In the preface, Vatsyayana acknowledges that he is distilling many ancient texts, but these have not survived. He cites the work of others he calls "teachers" and "scholars", and the longer texts by Auddalaki, Babhravya, Dattaka, Suvarnanabha, Ghotakamukha, Gonardiya, Gonikaputra, Charayana, and Kuchumara. Vatsyayana's Kamasutra is mentioned and some verses quoted in the Brihatsamhita of Varahamihira, as well as the poems of Kalidasa. This suggests he lived before the 5th-century CE. Human relationships, sex and emotional fulfillment are a significant part of the post-Vedic Sanskrit literature such as the major Hindu epics: the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The ancient Indian view has been, states Johann Meyer, that love and sex are a delightful necessity. Though she is reserved and selective, "a woman stands in very great need of surata (amorous or sexual pleasure)", and "the woman has a far stronger erotic disposition, her delight in the sexual act is greater than a man's".</p> <p>Keywords & Categories</p> <p>Nonfiction > Psychology > Human Sexuality<br /> Nonfiction > Philosophy > Hindu</p> <p>Sex Lessons</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。 162円

The World of the Crusades【電子書籍】[ Christopher Tyerman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A lively reimagining of how the distant medieval world of war functioned, drawing on the objects used and made by crusaders</strong></p> <p>Throughout the Middle Ages crusading was justified by religious ideology, but the resulting military campaigns were fueled by concrete objectives: land, resources, power, reputation. Crusaders amassed possessions of all sorts, from castles to reliquaries. Campaigns required material funds and equipment, while conquests produced bureaucracies, taxation, economic exploitation, and commercial regulation. Wealth sustained the Crusades while material objects, from weaponry and military technology to carpentry and shipping, conditioned them.</p> <p>This lavishly illustrated volume considers the material trappings of crusading wars and the objects that memorialized them, in architecture, sculpture, jewelry, painting, and manuscripts. Christopher Tyerman’s incorporation of the physical and visual remains of crusading enriches our understanding of how the crusaders themselves articulated their mission, how they viewed their place in the world, and how they related to the cultures they derived from and preyed upon.</p> <p>A note to readers: the grey-shaded pages throughout this volume look at the Crusades in detail, exploring individual themes such as food and drink, medicine, weapons and women’s role in the Crusades. These short essays are interspersed throughout the chapters and the main text will continue after each one. For instance, ‘Taking the Cross’ runs from pages 4 to 7, and the Introduction continues on p. 8.</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。 4,560円

The History of the Jewish People & The Jewish-Roman Wars The Antiquities of the Jews & The History of the Jewish War against the Romans【電子書籍】[ Flavius Josephus ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"The History of the Jewish People" or The Antiquities of the Jews is a 20-volume historiographical work composed by Flavius Josephus in the 13th year of the reign of Roman emperor Flavius Domitian. The book contains an account of history of the Jewish people, written in Greek for Josephus' gentile patrons. In the first ten volumes, Josephus follows the events of the historical books of the Hebrew Bible beginning with the creation of Adam and Eve. The second ten volumes continue the history of the Jewish people beyond the biblical text and up to the Jewish War. This work provides valuable background material to historians wishing to understand 1st-century AD Judaism and the early Christian period. "The Jewish-Roman Wars" or The War of the Jews is a history book by Flavius Josephus about antique wars between Romans and Jews. Divided into seven books, it opens with a summary of Jewish history from the capture of Jerusalem by the Seleucid ruler Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 164 BC to the first stages of the First Jewish?Roman War (Book I and II). The next five books detail the unfolding of the war, under Roman generals Vespasian and Titus, to the death of the last Sicarii. Titus Flavius Josephus was a first-century Romano-Jewish scholar, historian and hagiographer, who was born in Jerusalemーthen part of Roman Judeaーto a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry. He initially fought against the Romans during the First Jewish?Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, until surrendering in 67 CE to Roman forces led by Vespasian after the six-week siege of Jotapata. After Vespasian became Emperor in 69 CE, he granted Josephus his freedom, at which time Josephus assumed the emperor's family name of Flavius. He fully defected to the Roman side and was granted Roman citizenship. Josephus recorded Jewish history, with special emphasis on the first century CE and the First Jewish?Roman War, including the Siege of Masada. His most important works were The Jewish War (c. 75) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94).</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。 300円
