Aristotle Aristotle’s Poetics

Aristotle's Poetics is best known for its definition and analysis of tragedy and comedy, but it also applies to truth and beauty as they are manifested in the other arts. In our age, when the natural and social sciences have dominated the quest for truth, it is helpful to consider why Aristotle claimed: "poetry is more philosophical and more significant than history." Like so many other works by Aristotle, the Poetics has dominated the way we have thought about all forms of dramatic performance in...

Emiel de Boer Divine response to anti-semitism

the everlasting covenant in progress

Only few peoples have suffered so much from discrimination and persecution as the Jewish people. In Roman times, after three failed uprisings against Rome, the Jewish people were scattered throughout the Roman Empire and in later times throughout the world. The scattering throughout the world took place in the manner prophesied by Moses. He also correctly prophesied the discrimination and persecutions that would continue to haunt the Jewish people. But God also showed Moses the return of the Jews...

Mohamad Mostafa Fakhri The Reign Of Solomon

The Second Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in 1402 Anno Hegirae

The Jews believe that they will be spared suffering, pain and oppression because they have lived the norms and values through legislation that they have jointly drafted. Christians believe that they cannot be executed on Judgment Day because, on rather dubious reasoning, they crucified Jesus of Nazareth and made him pay the ultimate price, as it were, for the sins of subjects of Christian societies. The Muslims, with their different denominations, believe that salvation comes from the recognition...

In this book, Fabio Bolzonar investigates the influence of Catholicism on developments in French social protection from World War II to the mid-2010s. He discusses the factors that have favoured or inhibited it and explores the hybridization between Catholic values and secular principles in the social engagement...

historical approaches and global perspectives

Missionaries have been subject to academic and societal debate. Some scholars highlight their contribution to the spread of modernity and development among local societies, whereas others question their motives and emphasise their inseparable connection with colonialism. In this volume, fifteen authors - from both Europe and the Global South - address these often polemical positions by focusing on education, one of the most prominent fields in which missionaries have been active. They elaborate on...
