Synopsis

This volume traces Th. More's intellectual and political connections with Spain through eight scholarly contributions. Olivares examines Erasmus's role in linking Arias Montano to More's legacy amid Counter-Reformation censorship. Cabrillana decodes More's Lucian translations to reveal his moral-aesthetic priorities, while Phelippeau juxtaposes 'Utopia' with Venetian governance models resisting Habsburg hegemony. Ureña explores digital humanities' challenges in Morean studies, and Lillo reconstructs Spanish accounts of More's trial through several manuscripts. Fuentes analyzes Mary Tudor's Erasmian translations, and Zunino maps Sevillian networks that cultivated More's posthumous reputation via Herrera's 1592 biography. The volume concludes with the editor's exploration of More and Vives' nuanced just-war theories, challenging some naive pacifist interpretations by contextualizing their pragmatic responses to Ottoman expansion. Bridging literary analysis, archival research, and transnational historiography, these essays illuminate Spain's enduring role in shaping More's critique of power and his Renaissance afterlife.

    How did a remote desert people change the course of world history? 
     
    In the seventh century AD, the Eastern Roman Empire collapsed—defeated by the rising power of Arabia. How did this happen? And why then? 
    In this gripping new history, Nick Holmes offers a fresh view of the end of the Ancient World and the rise of Islam—it wasn't just religion and war that shaped history, but a hidden force also played a vital role—climate change. A mysterious climatic shift—the Late Antique Little Ice Age—devastated the Roman and Persian empires while Arabia thrived. 
    The End of Antiquity brings together history, science, and religion to uncover the truth behind one of the most enigmatic centuries in history. It's the fifth book in Holmes' acclaimed series on the fall of the Roman Empire—and the most surprising yet.

    “An exceptional study. The author of the book has had the audacity to approach Russian chaos... armed with her desire to prove that the country is by no means a madhouse but simply an immense space, difficult to access for the outsider who is unfamiliar with Russian traditions, history and mentality.” Lyubova Klobukova, Izvestia. 
     
    “Alla Sergueeva’s book is highly topical. The author loves Russia, cares about its people, is proud of its history, culture and science.” Vladimir Nogovsky, Russian Thought.
     
    Should a foreigner accept an invitation to the Russian baths? How many glasses of vodka should you drink in one go before trying to refuse? Why do Russians endure life at great sacrifice? What is “Russian happiness” made of? And above all, what’s new in 21st-century Russia?
    Over the past fifteen years, the “mysterious Slavic soul” has undergone unprecedented metamorphosis. It was time to draw up an exhaustive inventory of the new way of life and psychology of the Russians.

    The two decades after the Cold War saw unprecedented cooperation between the major powers as the world converged on a model of liberal international order. Now, great power competition is back, and the liberal order is in jeopardy. 
    Russia and China are increasingly revisionist in their regions. The Middle East appears to be unraveling. And many Americans question why the United States ought to lead. What will great power competition look like in the decades ahead? Will the liberal world order survive? What impact will geopolitics have on globalization? And, what strategy should the United States pursue to succeed in an increasingly competitive world. 
     In this book, Thomas Wright explains how major powers will compete fiercely even as they try to avoid war with each other. Wright outlines a new American strategy—responsible competition—to navigate these challenges and strengthen the liberal order.

    If we had no belief what would happen to us? - 23 July 1949 
    • Without self-knowledge we cannot go beyond the self-projected illusions of the 
    mind. 
    • It’s only in relationship that one can know oneself as one is. 
    • A mind that is filled with beliefs, dogmas, assertions and quotations is an un 
    creative, repetitive mind. 
    • Can we look at ourselves without beliefs? 
    • A mind that is quiet because it understands fear and understands itself is 
    creative. 
    • Q: Our mind knows only the known. What is it in us that drives us to find the 
    unknown, reality, or God?
