Lexikon der Tiersymbolik (3927369616)

Wer romanische oder gotische Kirchen besucht, Mythen, Märchen, Fabeln oder Legenden liebt, wer die Sprache des Unbewussten wie in unseren Träumen besser verstehen will und wer schließlich in die Alltags- oder Werbesprache lauscht, der wird häufig auf Tiere stoßen: auf reale und auf Fabelwesen. Sie tragen vielschichtige Bedeutungen, halten Aussagen für und über uns bereit. Sie werden zu Symbolen, d. h., sie schließen Zugänge auf zum Seelischen und darüber hinaus zu transpersonalen Bereichen. Dieses Lexikon stellt die wichtigsten Tiersymbolträger aus dem abendländischen Kulturbereich von AZ vor und bietet darüber hinaus Einblicke in die Tiersymbolik außereuropäischer Kulturen. Dabei werden Erkenntnisse aus alten Mythen der Völker, aus vergleichender Religionsbetrachtung, aus Astronomie, Astrologie, Mystik, Tiefenpsychologie und Volkskunde prägnant und unterhaltsam vermittelt. Ausgehend von der Urbedeutung, die meist im Natur- oder Astralmythischen wurzelt und aus einer frühen Jägergesel...

Social Epistemology and Relativism (9780367189389)

This is the first book to explore the connections and interactions between social epistemology and epistemic relativism. The essays in the volume are organized around three distinct philosophical approaches to this topic: 1) foundational questions concerning deep disagreement, the variability of epistemic norms, and the relationship between relativism and reliabilism; 2) the role of relativistic themes in feminist social epistemology; and 3) the relationship between the sociology of knowledge, philosophy of science, and social epistemology. Recent trends in social epistemology seek to rectify earlier work that conceptualized cognitive achievements primarily on the level of isolated individuals. Relativism insists that epistemic judgements or beliefs are justified or unjustified only relative to systems of standards-there is not neutral way of adjudicating between them. By bringing together these two strands of epistemology, this volume offers unique perspectives on a number of central ...

Catholic and Mormon : A Theological Conversation (9780190265922)

What could Roman Catholicism and Mormonism possibly have to learn from each other? On the surface, they seem to diverge on nearly every point, from their liturgical forms to their understanding of history. With its ancient roots, Catholicism is a continuous tradition, committed to the conservation of the creeds, while Mormonism teaches that the landscape of Christian history is riddled with sin and apostasy and is in need of radical revision and spiritual healing. Moreover, successful proselyting efforts by Mormons in formerly Catholic strongholds have increased opportunities for misunderstanding, polemic, and prejudice. However, in this book a Mormon theologian and a Catholic theologian in conversation address some of the most significant issues that impact Christian identity, including such central doctrines as authority, grace, Jesus, Mary, and revelation, demonstrating that these traditions are much closer to each other than many assume. Both Catholicism and Mormonism have ambiti...

Emotional Female (9781760894627)

A passionate account of the toxic culture of bullying and overwork that junior doctors can experience in the workplace as part of their training. Yumiko Kadota was every Asian parent's dream- model student, top of her class in medical school and on track to becoming a surgeon.

But if the punishing hours in surgery weren't hard enough, she also faced challenges as a young female surgeon navigating a male-dominated specialty. She was regularly left to carry out complex procedures without senior surgeons' oversight; she was called all sorts of things, from 'emotional' to 'too confident'; and she was expected to work a relentless on-call roster - sometimes seventy hours a week or more - to prove herself.

Epistemologia de Las Ciencias Sociales y Politicas (9783847351467)

En esta obra, se ensayan seis modos de encarar, en terminos Comprensivos, el conocimiento de la realidad social y politico. Se asume como categoria social: el movimiento. Pues es lo que subsiste en o bajo la diversidad de formas del ser, tanto de la naturaleza como sociales. La realidad se expresa en hechos y, es en estos, mediante los que se particulariza o concretiza. Pero, aun en estos, es el movimiento lo que les gobierna, lo que los hace nacer como perecer o modificarse. Por tanto, se afirma que este es identicamente igual a realidad, o esta identicamente igual a aquel. Con esta perspectiva el autor se sumerge en el pensamiento de autores contemporaneos, buscando desentranar los nucleos conceptuales de sus modos de comprension. En cada uno de estos autores, se pretende hacer una descripcion concisa, con excepcion de Wittgenstein, sobre su modo de encarar el conocimiento en ciencias sociales y politicas. De Wittgenstein se destaca su "forma fija"; de Weber, la idea de ...
