 Winged Stallions and Wicked Mares: Horses in Indian Myth and History (Richard Lectures) by Wendy Doniger 2021 | ISBN: 0813945755 | English | 300 pages | PDF | 3 MB Horses are not indigenous to India. They had to be imported, making them expensive and elite animals. How then did Indian villagers―who could not afford horses and often had never even seen a horse―create such wonderful horse stories and brilliant visual images of horses? In Winged Stallions and Wicked Mares, Wendy Doniger, called "the greatest living mythologist," examines the horse's significance throughout Indian history from the arrival of the Indo-Europeans, followed by the people who became the Mughals (who imported Arabian horses) and the British (who imported thoroughbreds and Walers). Along the way, we encounter the tensions between Hindu stallion and Arab mare traditions, the imposition of European standards on Indian breeds, the reasons why men ride mares to weddings, the motivations for murdering Dalits who ride horses, and the enduring myth of foreign horses who emerge from the ocean to fertilize native mares.

The Fundamental Field: Thought, Poetics, World by Jeff Malpas, Kenneth White 2021 | ISBN: 147448526X, 1474485278 | English | 184 pages | PDF | 2 MB The Scottish poet Kenneth White and the Australian philosopher Jeff Malpas came together by chance when Malpas heard an interview with White on ABC radio. Malpas contacted White, and from there they exchanged books and ideas. They arranged to meet at White's place on the Breton coast, where a conversation about poetry and philosophy developed over four days. Inspired by poets from John Donne to Hölderlin, and philosophers from Nietzsche to Heidegger, they discussed the world, place, narrative, language and politics. This book records that conversation.

 The First Principle in Late Neoplatonism : A Study of the One's Causality in Proclus and Damascius by Jonathan Greig  The Cabinet of Imaginary Laws (Discourses of Law) by Peter Goodrich, Thanos Zartaloudis 2021 | ISBN: 0367566583, 0367566591 | English | 248 pages | PDF | 38 MB Returning to the map of the island of utopia, this book provides a contemporary, inventive, addition to the long history of legal fictions and juristic phantasms. Progressive legal and political thinking has for long lacked a positive, let alone a bold imaginary project, an account of what improved institutions and an ameliorated environment would look like. And where better to start than with the non-laws or imaginary legislations of a realm yet to come. |
