Abstract:

The essays gathered in this volume are devoted to different aspects of the reception of Humanism and the Renaissance in Slavic countries. They mark the beginning of a dialogue among scholars of different Slavic languages and literatures, in search of the ways in which the entire Slavic world – albeit to varying degrees – has participated from the very beginning in European cultural transformations, and not simply by sharing some characteristics of the new currents, but by building a new identity in harmony with the changes of the time. By overcoming the dominant paradigm, which sees all cultur

Abstract:

African scholarship concerning the nexus between institutions and development is still dominated by the economic perspective of development despite the emergence of the humanistic perspective of development. The humanistic perspective is a more embracing, encompassing, and comprehensive view of development than its economic counterpart and offers a better explanation of the African situation. It is essential to examine the relationships between democratic political institutions and human development. This collection examines democratic institutions and processes in post-independence Africa. Th

Abstract:

Statistical physics and thermodynamics describe the behaviour of systems on the macroscopic scale. Their methods are applicable to a wide range of phenomena: from heat engines to chemical reactions, from the interior of stars to the melting of ice. Indeed, the laws of thermodynamics are among the most universal ones of all laws of physics. Yet this subject can prove difficult to grasp. Many view thermodynamics as merely a collection of ad hoc recipes, or are confused by unfamiliar novel concepts, such as the entropy, which have little in common with the theories to which students have got accu

Abstract:

This chapter examines the nature of the healing process. Healing is an intrinsic activity in all natural systems that comprise known tangibles of scientific healthcare in the broadest sense coupled with intangibles such as compassion, empathy, hope, and meaning. Three patients trying to heal are discussed. Opportunities for a healing partnership were missed because of the doctors’ narrow view of a biomedical perspective. Medical students who uphold broad-minded, humanistic attitudes are the first to detect something awry, and as reflected in this chapter, are so often at the vanguard expressin

Abstract:

Smith returns to a sacramentalist view, seeing ordinances as indispensable. Temples are central to this practice. Though often employed by Smith and his contemporaries in the generic sense to denote God’s laws and statutes as well as divinely prescribed rites and ceremonies, ordinances gradually came to signify for Mormons what other Christians would call sacraments. Sacraments (ordinances) provide moral reinforcement, are a counter to cosmic entropy, and themselves constitute eternal relationships, which are the essence of Mormonism’s heaven. Believing in a universal salvation requires the ad

Abstract:

The main thread of chapter 3 introduces general relativity (GR), Big Bang cosmology, and closed timelike curves, showing how the ant’s-eye view leads to the puzzle of the creation of the universe, the horizon problem, the flatness problem, the low entropy problem, and the paradoxes of closed time-like curves. All these puzzles, problems, and paradoxes of the dynamical universe are resolved using the God’s-eye view of the adynamical block universe. Accordingly, Einstein’s equations of GR are not understood dynamically, but rather adynamically, that is, as a global self-consistency constraint be

Abstract:

The chapter focuses on modern uses of “improvisation,” its derivatives (I-words), and its constitution with “composition” of a duality of opposites that—like many dualities—works as a hierarchy, valuing reason over impulse, order over entropy, coherence over incoherence, integration over disarticulation, organic wholeness over disjunction. It evaluates the effect of such a conception in accounts of music-making in the Middle Ages and the eighteenth century. It compares those accounts with language left by writers of the periods in view, finding contrariety by commission in the first and omissi

Abstract:

This volume discusses modern transformations of Buddhist and Buddhist-derived meditation and the scientific studies of these practices from the humanistic perspective of scholars in the interdisciplinary field of Buddhist Studies. Meditation, particularly “mindfulness” meditation, has garnered enormous attention in recent years as the object of scientific study, to the point of redefining the very conception of meditation in the popular imagination and the academy. For millennia, these practices occurred almost exclusively in monastic contexts for soteriological purposes. Yet today, the instit

Abstract:

The aim of this chapter is to argue against the idea that there needs to be a polar opposition between "biological" and "humanistic" psychiatry. The basis for this idea lies in the philosophical tradition-the view that "mind" and "brain" must be conceived either as two separate "substances" or as one and the same. It is argued that this ontological conception of the problem should be replaced with a phenomenological description of what is actually meant by talk of human mental life. In particular, Merleau-Ponty's account of human beings as "body-subjects" enables us to explain some aspects of

Abstract:

The official social teaching of Popes John XXIII and Paul VI and the Second Vatican Council embraced secularization—what they called the “legitimate autonomy” of the world. It also recognized the intrinsic value of human work and humankind’s increasing mastery over the created world. The “aggiornamento framework” proposed in their teaching envisions the church as open to the modern world. This framework proposes a humanistic vision of development, including the human person’s material, social, and spiritual dimensions. The aggiornamento framework also presents a historical view of social devel

The idea that the early Chinese saw no qualitative difference between mind and body (the “strong” holist view) has long been contradicted by traditional archaeological and qualitative textual evidence.

Judging from Experience forms part of Law and Literature and/or, more broadly, Law and Humanities, the interdisciplinary movement in legal theory that focuses on the various bonds of law, language and literature. The book presents a view on law as a humanistic discipline. It demonstrates the importance for academic legal theory and legal practice of a iuris prudentia as insighful knowledge of law that helps develop the practitioner’s practical wisdom. In doing so it builds on insights from philosophical hermeneutics ranging from Aristotle to Ricoeur. The building blocks it proposes for law as

Abstract:

This book asks, can the study of religion be justified? It poses this question on the view that scholarship in religion, especially work in “theory and method,” is preoccupied with matters of methodological procedure and is thus inarticulate about the goals that can justify the study of religion and motivate scholarship in the field. For that reason, it insists, the field suffers from a crisis of rationale. The book identifies six prevailing methodologies in the field, each of which it critically examines as symptomatic of this crisis, on the way toward offering an alternative framework for th

In the mid-20th century, integrative efforts began concerning the brain and its social and humanistic functions. These efforts were led by Paul D. MacLean's integrative research and thought. As the century ended, however, such efforts were lost in the surge of new effort in brain and genome research. Nobel Prizes were awarded on biochemical and cellular findings relevant to psychiatry. Findings on these levels seemed to provide ultimate answers. By contrast, Cory, Gardner, and their contributors provide a more comprehensive view by extending MacLean's findings and integrative theory. Supported

Abstract:

Narrative psychiatry empowers patients to shape their lives through story. Rather than focusing only on finding the source of the problem, in this collaborative clinical approach psychiatrists also help patients diagnose and develop their sources of strength. By encouraging the patient to explore their personal narrative through questioning and story-telling, the clinician helps the patient participate in and discover the ways in which they construct meaning, how they view themselves, what their values are, and who it is exactly that they want to be. These revelations in turn inform clinical d
