The Cambridge Companion to Aquinas (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy)

1993 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: Among the great philosophers of the Middle Ages Aquinas is unique in pursuing two apparently disparate projects. On the one hand he developed a philosophical understanding of Christian doctrine in a fully integrated system encompassing all natural and supernatural reality. On the other hand, he was convinced that Aristotle`s philosophy afforded the best available philosophical component of such a system. In a relatively brief career Aquinas developed these projects in great detail and with an astonishing degree of success. In this volume ten leading scholars introduce all the important aspects of Aquinas` thought, ranging from its historical background and dependence on Greek, Islamic, and Jewish philosophy and theology, through the metaphysics, epistemology and ethics, to the philosophical approach to Biblical commentary. New readers and nonspecialists will find this the most convenient, accessible guide to Aquinas currently in print. Advanced students and specialists will find a… [detailed...]

The Cambridge Companion to Ballet

2007 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: Ballet is a paradox: much loved but little studied. It is a beautiful fairy tale, detached from its origins and unrelated to the men and women who created it. Yet ballet has a history, little known and rarely presented. These great works have dark sides and moral ambiguities, not always nor immediately visible. The daring and challenging quality of ballet as well as its perceived `safe` nature is not only one of its fascinations but one of the intriguing questions to be explored in this Companion. The essays reveal the conception, intent and underlying meaning of ballets and recreate the historical reality in which they emerged. The reader will find new and unexpected aspects of ballet, its history and its aesthetics, the evolution of plot and narrative, new insights into the reality of training, the choice of costume and the transformation of an old art in a modern world.

John Barton
The Cambridge Companion to Biblical Interpretation (Cambridge Companions to Religion)

1998 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: The Cambridge Companion to Biblical Interpretation, despite its dry-as-dust title, is a feast of answers to the extremely juicy question, `What does the Bible mean?` Editor John Barton shaped this book of essays as a `progress report on biblical inerpretation in the 1990s.` He invited leading scholars to provide 10-to-20 page definitions and summaries of recent developments in fields such as feminist interpretation, literary criticism, political reading, and sociological criticism. As Barton notes,there emerges from this book `a perception among many biblical scholars that the newest approaches are also a restoration of something very old.` In other words, abstract hyphenates like `historical-critical` are helping scholars, pastors, and tuned-in lapeople learn to read like the fathers and mothers of faith. The fresh perspectives presented here make it possible to return to the Scriptures with renewed openness to the many shades of revelation. --Michael Joseph Gross [detailed...]

Description: Emile Zola is a towering literary figure of the nineteenth century. His main literary achievement was his twenty-volume novel cycle, Les Rougon-Macquart.

In 1898 Zola crowned his literary career with a political act, his famous open letter (`J`accuse…!`) to the President of the French Republic in defence of Alfred Dreyfus. These newly commissioned essays offer readings of individual novels as well as analyses of Zola`s originality, his representation of society, sexuality and gender, his relations with the painters of his time, his narrative art, and his role in the Dreyfus Affair. The Companion also includes a chronology, detailed summaries of all of Zola`s novels, suggestions for further reading, and information about specialist resources. [detailed...]
