This book was released on with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Kartäusern und Mystik wird im vorliegenden Band auf der Basis der Überlieferung jener ‚mystischen‘ Bücher behandelt, die in einzelnen Kartausen faktisch vorhanden waren. Was dabei interessiert, ist der Umgang mit diesen Büchern im Kontext der für den Orden bzw. für einzelne Kartausen spezifischen Wissensdiskurse, Schreibpraktiken und Überlieferungskonstellationen. Die Beiträge decken mit theologia mystica, revelationes und meditationes gerade jene Bereiche ab, die auch für die moderne Diskussion um die Definition eines ‚mystischen‘ Textcorpus relevant sind.

Download or read book Pastoral Care and Monasticism in Latin Christianity and Japanese Buddhism (ca. 800-1650) written by GERT MELVILLE TOSHIO OHNUKI (YUICHI AKAE, KAZUHIS.) and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monasticism has a special position in the history of pastoral care. It produced innovations in various aspects of pastoral care despite, or more precisely, because of its isolation in legal or social terms from the secular world. The thirteen papers contained in this volume will reveal that there was a great variety in the ways pastoral care continued to be practised by monasticism, depending on time, space, and the nature of each religious order. Adopting a comparative approach, their historical and geographical range of investigation is not limited to medieval Europe but expands to the Americas and even to Japan in the early Modern Age. This volume bases on a conference held on 1 and 2 March 2019 at Okayama University, Japan, as part of the close collaboration between a Japanese research group on Christian/Buddhist religious movements and the Research Project "Monasteries in the High Middle Ages: Innovation Laboratories for European Life Designs and Regulatory Models" of the Saxon and the Heidelberg Academies of Sciences and Humanities, as well as the Research Center for Comparative History of Religious Orders (FOVOG, Dresden).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American counterculture played a major role during a pivotal moment in American history. Post-War prosperity combined with the social and political repression characteristic of middle-class life to produce both widespread civil disobedience and artistic creativity in the Baby Boomer generation.This introduction explores the relationship between the counterculture and American popular culture. It looks at the ways in which Hollywood and corporate record labels commodified and adapted countercultural texts, and the extent to which countercultural artists and their texts were appropriated. It offers an interdisciplinary account of the economic and social reasons for the emergence of the counterculture, and an appraisal of the key literary, musical, political and visual texts which were seen to challenge dominant ideologies.

Download or read book The Philosophy of Physical Education written by Steven Stolz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discipline area of physical education has historically struggled for legitimacy, sometimes being seen as a non-serious pursuit in educational terms compared to other subjects within the school curriculum. This book represents the first attempt in nearly thirty years to offer a coherent philosophical defence and conceptualisation of physical education and sport as subjects of educational value, and to provide a philosophically sound justification for their inclusion in the curriculum. The book argues that rather than relegating the body to “un-thinking” learning, a person’s essential being is not confined to their rationality but involves an embodied dimension. It traces the changing conceptions of the body, in philosophy and theology, that have influenced our understanding of physical education and sport, and investigates the important role that embodiment and movement play in learning about, through and in physical education. Physical education is defended as a vital and necessary part of education because the whole person goes to school, not just the mind, but the thinking, feeling and acting facets of a person. It is argued that physical education has the potential to provide a multitude of experiences and opportunities for students to become aware of their embodiment, explore alternative modes of awareness and to develop insights into and new modes of being not available elsewhere in the curriculum, and to influence moral character through the support of a moral community that is committed to that practice. Representing a sophisticated and spirited defence of the educational significance and philosophical value of physical education and sport, this book will be fascinating reading for any advanced student or researcher with an interest in physical education, the philosophy of sport or the philosophy of education.

Download or read book The Boke of Gostely Grace written by Anne Mouron and published by . This book was released on 2022-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boke of Gostely Grace is the anonymous Middle English version of the Liber specialis gratiae by the German visionary Mechthild of Hackeborn (1241-1298). The original Liber, compiled at the convent of Helfta in Saxony, presents Mechthild's visions as she experienced them in the liturgy of the Christian year. Her famous visions of the Sacred Heart follow, along with instructions on the religious life in community and her visions of the afterlife. The Middle English version adapts the text to a new fifteenth-century audience, probably a Birgittine community such as the newly founded Syon Abbey on the Thames near London; it emphasises imagery of the dance of the liturgy, the vineyard, and the Sacred Heart in new and vivid terms, while other aspects, such as the bridal imagery, are played down. Within a generation, the English text had become popular among the nobility, and stimulated lay piety and private prayer.While scholars have traced the influence and reception of many continental European women writers, Mechthild's revelations have often escaped their attention, through the lack of suitable editions.This edition of Bodley 22, the manuscript written in the London area, includes introduction, commentary and glossary, and breaks new ground in the study of late medieval vernacular translation and women's literary culture.

Download or read book Geistliche Literatur des späten Mittelalters written by Werner Williams-Krapp and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2012 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: In the Late Middle Ages vernacular literature became immensely important as a means of communicating religious knowledge to the unlearned and semi-learned. Whereas an elitist 'mystical' discourse dominated vernacular religious literature of the 14th century, in the 15th century adherents of the so-called theology of piety initiated a tremendous 'democratization' of religious knowledge, which can also be seen as a reaction to the strongly increasing rate of literacy among the laity and the ability to produce books more cheaply due to the increased use of paper. This new inclusion of the laity in the religious literary culture contributed in an important way to the success of the Reformation. In the articles collected here, Werner Williams examines central aspects of this development and its socio-historical prerequisites. He interprets and contextualizes important works of mystical literature, provides an extensive analysis of the immense importance of the reform movements within the orders in the 15th century for the production, reception and circulation of religious literature, and finally, focuses on the diverse forms in which the lives of the saints, the most beloved medieval narrative genre, appear in vernacular literature. German description: Wahrend im 14. Jahrhundert vor allem der elitare emystische' Diskurs die Literatur pragt, so setzen im 15. Jahrhundert Anhanger der sogenannten Frommigkeitstheologie eine gewaltige eDemokratisierung' des verschriftlichten religiosen Wissens in Gang, die auch als Reaktion auf eine stark ansteigende Alphabetisierung der Laien und die billigere Buchherstellung zu sehen ist. Dies tragt in erheblichem Masse zum spateren Erfolg der Reformation bei. Werner Williams fuhrt in den hier gesammelten Aufsatzen in zentrale Aspekte dieser Entwicklung und ihre sozialgeschichtlichen Voraussetzungen ein. Er interpretiert und kontextualisiert wichtige Werke des mystischen Schrifttums und stellt die grosse Bedeutung der Reformbewegungen der Orden im 15. Jahrhundert fur die Entstehung, Rezeption und Verbreitung von geistlicher Literatur eingehend dar. Schliesslich werden diverse Ausformungen der beliebtesten narrativen Gattung des Mittelalters, der Heiligenlegende, analysiert.
