L'eau, enjeux politiques et théologiques, de Sumer à la Bible available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book investigates a corpus of royal inscriptions and literary texts, with special emphasis on those that are mythological and biblical, stretching over several millennia from the early days of Sumer to the Biblical period, in order to determine the ways in which the concept of water was used, in particular the way it functions in the political and theological ideology of the time. Three literary motifs are the object of a careful study : the crossing of water, the flood and the water of abundance. Though their study shows diversity in evolution, transmission and reception, it appears that their function is common at the heart of the Mesopotamian political theology of royal mediation.

Download and read online ebook Religion, Modernity, Globalisation write by François Gauthier. This book was released on 2019-09-30. Religion, Modernity, Globalisation available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book argues that the last four decades have seen profound and important changes in the nature and social location of religion, and that those changes are best understood when cast against the associated rise of consumerism and neoliberalism. These transformations are often misunderstood and underestimated, namely because the study of religion remains dependent on the secularisation paradigm which can no longer provide a sufficiently fruitful framework for analysis. The book challenges diagnoses of transience and fragmentation by proposing an alternative narrative and set of concepts for understanding the global religious landscape. The present situation is framed as the result of a shift from a National-Statist to a Global-Market regime of religion. Adopting a holistic perspective that breaks with the current specialisation tendencies, it charts the emergence of the State and the Market as institutions and ideas related to social order, as well as their changing rapports from classical modernity to today. Breaking with a tradition of Western-centeredness, the book offers probing enquiries into Indonesia and a synthesis of global and Western trends. This long-awaited book offers a bold new vision for the social scientific study of religion and will be of great interest to all scholars of the Sociology and Anthropology of religion, as well as Religious Studies in general.

Download and read online ebook A History of Algeria write by James McDougall. This book was released on 2017-04-24. A History of Algeria available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Covering a period of five hundred years, from the arrival of the Ottomans to the aftermath of the Arab uprisings, James McDougall presents an expansive new account of the modern history of Africa's largest country. Drawing on substantial new scholarship and over a decade of research, McDougall places Algerian society at the centre of the story, tracing the continuities and the resilience of Algeria's people and their cultures through the dramatic changes and crises that have marked the country. Whether examining the emergence of the Ottoman viceroyalty in the early modern Mediterranean, the 130 years of French colonial rule and the revolutionary war of independence, the Third World nation-building of the 1960s and 1970s, or the terrible violence of the 1990s, this book will appeal to a wide variety of readers in African and Middle Eastern history and politics, as well as those concerned with the wider affairs of the Mediterranean.

L'eau, enjeux politiques et théologiques, de Sumer à la Bible available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. La présente thèse investit un corpus d'inscriptions royales et de textes littéraires, plus particulièrement mythologiques et bibliques, sur plusieurs millénaires depuis Sumer jusqu'à la Bible, afin d'identifier les motifs littéraires de l'eau, de repérer leur transmission, leur évolution, les possibilités d'emprunt, et surtout d'interroger leurs fonctions au sein de l’idéologie du temps, leurs enjeux politiques et théologiques. Trois motifs littéraires sont ainsi étudiés de manières approfondies : la traversée, le déluge et l'eau d’abondance. L'étude montre des fonctionnements littéraires divers dans leur évolution, leur transmission et leur réception. Pourtant, en Mésopotamie, ils révèlent leur enjeu commun au sein d'une théologie politique de la médiation royale. Le roi, déluge de son dieu traverse sans cesse au- delà du déluge afin de puiser l’eau d'abondance, l'eau pérenne d'une civilisation éternelle. Les emprunts bibliques fonctionnent dès lors comme des "dés-emprunts" au service d’une théologie de la révélation de la Torah et non de la médiation royale.

Adam Carter. This book was released on 2017. Knowledge First available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 'Knowledge-First' constitutes what is widely regarded as one of the most significant innovations in contemporary epistemology in the past 25 years. Knowledge-first epistemology is the idea that knowledge per se should not be analysed in terms of its constituent parts (e.g., justification, belief), but rather that these and other notions should be analysed in terms of the concept of knowledge. This volume features a substantive introduction and 13 original essaysfrom leading and up-and-coming philosophers on the topic of knowledge-first philosophy. The contributors' essays range from foundational issues to applications of this project to other disciplinesincluding the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of perception, ethics and action theory. Knowledge First: Approaches in Epistemology and Mind aims to provide a relatively open-ended forum for creative and original scholarship with the potential to contribute and advance debates connected with this philosophical project.
