Описание: Synopsis: Religion is commonly viewed through the lens of the world's religious traditions, stressing the differences, and often the conflicts, among them. The author of this book instead presents religion as a common and universal human phenomenon, based deeply in a human nature shared by all. In this view, the underlining and unifying principle of religion is a particular affirmative attitude toward life, which he presents as the Ultimate Value, and as such the key cultural constituent and defining factor of all religion. This Ultimate Value finds its expressions in various civilizations, and results in a variety of forms; these are what we know as the world's religious traditions. By analyzing the roles of both culture and civilization in their attitudes toward life, the author places religion beyond religious traditions, and shows how the latter, regardless of whether they are theistic or atheistic, draw their principles from the former, mainly by promoting the Golden Rule in its applications. Endorsements: "Wojciech Zalewski's synthesis of religions . . . presents] a Rousseau-like view that human beings are fundamentally good, born with a desire and respect for life, which becomes perverted by the institutions of their civilization. The evidence that he is right lies in the countless acts of goodness performed by individuals in their daily life apart from, and sometimes in opposition to, the norms of their societies. The Crucible of Religion is an uplifting and hopeful book by a true humanitarian." --Kenneth R. Graham Professor Emeritus Muhlenberg College "Zalewski examines religion as a personal and social construct based on the human yearning for life . . . By differentiating culture from civilization he is able to distinguish between religion as such and various religious traditions . . ., and in so doing to recast the discussion of God in terms of the affirmation of life implemented through the practice of the Golden Rule . . . By equating life with God, Zalewski opens a dialogue among agnostics, atheists, and believers. --Thomas Sheehan Professor of Religious Studies Stanford University Author Biography: Wojciech Maria Zalewski is the Curator for Slavic and East European Collections Emeritus and Bibliographer for Religious Studies at the Stanford University Libraries. He is the author of Untersuchungen uber the literarische Gattung der Apokalypse 1-3.

Автор: Neret Gilles Название: Renoir. Painter of Happiness (BU) ISBN: 3836567652 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783836567657 Издательство: Taschen Рейтинг: Цена: 14170.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание:
Pierre-Auguste Renoir's (1841-1919) timelessly charming paintings still reflect our ideals of happiness, love, and beauty. Derived from our large-format volume, the most comprehensive retrospective of his work published to date, this compact edition examines the personal history and motivation behind the legend. Though he began by painting landscapes in the Impressionist style, Renoir found his true affinity in portraits, after which he abandoned the Impressionists altogether. Though often misunderstood, Renoir remains one of history's most well-loved painters--undoubtedly because his works exude such warmth, tenderness, and good spirit.
In an incisive text tracing the artist's career and stylistic evolution, Gilles N ret shows how Renoir reinvented the painted female form, with his everyday goddesses and their plump forms, rounded hips and breasts. Renoir's later phase, marked by his return to the simple pleasure of the female nude in his baigneuses series, was his most innovative and stylistically influential, and would inspire such masters as Matisse and Picasso.
With a complete chronology, bibliography, index of works, and brilliant reproductions, as well as photos and sketches illustrating Renoir's life and work, this is the essential work of reference on this enduring master artist.

Описание: This book was written to get us in touch with our own human nature--the inborn recipe of requirements for human wellbeing. In case you haven't noticed, civilization wants us to follow a totally different recipe--one that keeps telling us to ignore what we feel, and act otherwise. This book tells the truth about what humans need to be happy, and how our civilized way of life insists that we spend the vast majority of our time doing the opposite of what we feel. Evolution made us what we are--feeling beings. And that is how humanity lived, developed, and thrived, in intimate small groups of people who trusted, supported, and protected each other completely. Today, we all live largely in a state of emotional isolation from others. We feel the absence of intimacy--our most powerful need. Most modern humans are aware of the anxieties and irritations of our modern lives, but we accept them as part of life-itself. So, most readers of this book will be shocked to find out how many of those things we call problems are not our own fault, at all, but are brought on by the unnatural weight of what civilization requires of us, emotionally. It wasn't just to shock you that I wrote this book. I wrote it to bring a change in perspective that will free us from the grip that modern institutions now have on the psyche of every human alive.
