![]() Free Download Susan T Moore, "Tracing Your Ancestors Through the Equity Courts: A Guide for Family and Local Historians" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1473891663 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 5.1 mb The records of the Courts of Equity, which dealt with cases of fairness rather than law, are among the most detailed, extensive and revealing of all the legal documents historians can consult, yet they are often neglected. Susan Moore's expert introduction to them opens up this fascinating source to researchers who may not be familiar with them and dont know how to take advantage of them. As she traces the purpose, history and organization of the Courts of Equity from around 1500 to 1876, she demonstrates how varied their role was and how valuable their archives are for us today. She covers the Courts of Chancery, Exchequer, Star Chamber, Requests, Palatinates and Duchy of Lancaster in clear detail. Her work shows researchers why their records are worth searching, how to search them and how many jewels of information can be found in them. This introduction will be appreciated by local, social and family historians who are coming to these records for the first time and by those who already know of the records but have found them daunting. ![]() Free Download Toxische Gemeinschaften: Geistlichen und emotionalen Missbrauch erkennen, verhindern und heilen von Stephanie Butenkemper Deutsch | 17.

By concentrating on the particular elements that make up this form of masculine behaviour and identity, briefly defined as a performance of masculinity that is harmful to people who should be protected, to one's community, or to oneself, we illuminate tensions and contradictions within Greek and Roman conceptions of gender, while tracing some origins of modern gender roles. This book also highlights the ways that texts and events from the ancient world are invoked in the construction of toxic masculinity today. Covering Athenian oratory and drama, Roman poetry and history, curse tablets, early Christian writing, Italian cinema, US politics, and more, this collection brings together the ancient and modern to ask what shapes a culture's understanding of masculinity and how to identify the aspects of that understanding that can cause harm. ![]() Free Download Volodymyr Ishchenko, "Towards the Abyss: Ukraine from Maidan to War" English | ISBN: 180429554X | 2024 | 192 pages | PDF | 586 KB "Nuanced, melancholy, sophisticated and gratifyingly intimate." ![]() Free Download Jiri Anger, "Towards a Film Theory from Below: Archival Film and the Aesthetics of the Crack-Up " English | ASIN : B0CNV82YX2 | 2024 | 232 pages | EPUB, PDF | 4 MB + 48 MB Operating between film theory, media philosophy, archival practice, and audiovisual research, Jiri Anger focuses on the relationship between figuration and materiality in early films, experimental found footage cinema, and video essays. ![]() Free Download Jacob A. v. van Belzen, "Towards Cultural Psychology of Religion: Principles, Approaches, Applications" English | 2010 | pages: 284 | ISBN: 9048134900, 9401783748 | PDF | 2,7 mb The aims pursued in this book are quite modest. The text is not an introduction in the traditional sense to any psychological subdiscipline or field of application, nor does it present anything essentially new. Rather, it shows 'work in progress', as it attempts to contribute to an integration of two differently structured, but already existing fields within psychology. In order to explain this, it is probably best to say a few words about how the book came into being and about what it hopes to achieve. As a project, the volume owes very much to others. While lecturing in places ranging from South Africa to Canada and from California through European co- tries to Korea, colleagues have often urged me to come up with a volume on 'c- tural psychology of religion'. For reasons that should become clear in the text, I feel uncomfortable with such a demand. To my understanding, there exists no single cultural psychology of religion. Rather, there are ever expanding numbers of div- gent types of psychologies, some of which are applied to understanding religious aspects of human lives or to researching specific religious phenomena, while others are not. Within this heterogeneous field that is, correctly or not, still designated as 'psychology', there are also many approaches that are sometimes referred to as 'cultural psychology' or as 'culturally sensitive psychologies'. It would be wor- while applying many of these to research on religious phenomena, but at present not too many are in fact so applied. ![]() Free Download Toward a New Interpretation of Plato By Giovanni Reale; John R. Catan; Richard Davies 1996 | 459 Pages | ISBN: 0813208548 | PDF | 25 MB Translated from the tenth edition and edited by John R. Catan and Richard DaviesSince the beginning of the nineteenth century, the paradigm that has been widely accepted for interpreting Plato has held that the dialogues are fully understandable on their own terms and that the entirety of Plato's doctrine can be found in his writings. This method of interpretation, which Giovanni Reale calls the "traditional paradigm," upheld the textual integrity and autonomy of the dialogues.For Reale, who notes that Plato put his greatest seriousness and commitment into oral teaching, this "traditional paradigm" no longer provides satisfactory explanations of the dialogues. He urges that it be replaced with a new interpretive paradigm, one that was first articulated by scholars at the Tübingen School of Platonic Studies. This new paradigm holds that Plato's written dialogues are not self- sufficient but need to be read together with their author'sUnwritten Doctrines, which were handed down in the oral tradition and attested to by Plato's disciples. According to this paradigm, we risk greatly misunderstanding Plato unless we employ both the direct tradition of his writings and the indirect tradition of theUnwritten Doctrinesto interpret his work.In the book, Reale sets out the history of Plato studies. He shows not only the way this new interpretation breaks with recent orthodoxy but also how it connects with the earliest understandings of Platonic metaphysics. Drawing on the frequently neglected or misunderstood reports about what Plato divulged to his immediate pupils, he illuminates many otherwise obscure passages of the dialogues; in turn, he uses hints found throughout the dialogues to make sense of testimonies that have often seemed to be unreliable. What emerges from the harmonization of Plato's written thought with his oral teachings is aTheory of Principles.In just seven years the book has gone through ten editions in Italy. It is the fruit of an ongoing research project, with centers in both Germany and Italy, that seeks to establish a philologically accurate and philosophically satisfying account of Plato. Though aimed at scholars and graduate students in philosophy,Toward a New Interpretation of Platowill be a reference book for anyone interested in the new direction in Plato studies.Giovanni Reale is director of the Center for Research in Metaphysics and professor of the history of ancient philosophy at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. He is the author of several studies on Plato and on Aristotle, translations of Plato's dialogues into Italian, and the five-volumeA History of Ancient Philosophy.----------------------------------------------"This work . . . rereads the writings of Plato in the light and perspective of the paradigm of the Tübingen School, but it does so on the basis of very precise principles of contemporary epistemology which render the undertaking soundly and convincingly scientific and highly, even fascinatingly readable, resolving with apparent ease and clarity . . . so much that was enigmatic in Plato." --Gregorianum ![]() Free Download Michael R.
