Book Description
Mediaevalia Lovaniensia 40Medieval translators played an important role in the development and evolution of a scientific lexicon. At a time when most scholars deferred to authority, the translations of canonical texts assumed great importance. Moreover, translation occurred at two levels in the Middle Ages. First, Greek or Arabic texts were translated into the learned language, Latin. Second, Latin texts became source texts themselves, to be translated into the vernaculars as their importance across Europe started to increase.The situation of the respective translators at these two levels was fundamentally different: whereas the former could rely on a long tradition of scientific discourse, the latter had the enormous responsibility of actually developing a scientific vocabulary. The contributions in the present volume investigate both levels, greatly illuminating the emergence of the scientific terminology and concepts that became so fundamental in early modern intellectual discourse. The scientific disciplines covered in the book include, among others, medicine, biology, astronomy, and physics.

Natural science and spiritual science (Translated)
Author: Rudolf Steiner
Publisher: David De Angelis
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
The essays assembled in this volume can therefore still shed fruitful light on how to overcome the various classical evolutionary theories, and on the conclusions to which it is permissible to arrive, with rigorous consistency, by taking them as a starting point. A scientific conception of a vast horizon is profiled here, apt to profoundly satisfy human cognitive aspirations, if, and in the science of nature and in the science of the spirit, they seek, beyond partial and temporary truths, the Truth in its eternal becoming, that Truth which, at the same time, is for man the Way to Life.

The Movement

Pages :
Book Description
The Movement's founding ideology emphasises women should be valued for their inner qualities, spirit, and character, not for their physical attributes.Some men continue with unreformed attitudes but many submit - or are sent by their wives and daughters - to the Institute for internment and reeducation. Our narrator, an unapologetic guard at one of these reeducation facilities, describes how the Movement started, the challenges faced, her own personal journey, and what happens when a program fails. Outspoken, ambiguous, and terrifying, this socio-critical satire of our sexual norms sets the reader firmly outside of their comfort zone.
