  A Hidden Wisdom - Medieval...

  Christina Van Dyke

  • 0

  Medieval philosophy is primarily associated today with university-based disputations and the authorities cited in those disputations. In their own time, however, scholastic debates were recognized as just one part of wide-ranging philosophical and theological discussions. A Hidden Wisdom breaks new ground by drawing attention to another crucial component of these conversations: the Christian contemplative tradition. 
   
   
   
  The period from 1200 to 1500, in particular, saw a dramatic increase in the production and consumption of mystical and contemplative literature in the "Christian West," by laypeople as well as religious scholars, women as well as men. A Hidden Wisdom focuses on five topics of particular interest, namely, self-knowledge, reason and its limits, love and the will, persons, and immortality and the afterlife. This focus centers the (often overlooked) contributions of medieval women and demonstrates that when we reunite scholasticism with its contemplative counterpart, we gain not only a more accurate understanding of the scope of medieval Christian philosophy and theology but also an increased awareness of a deeply practical tradition that builds up as well as tears down. 
   
   
   
  The book's treatment of topics and figures is meant to be representative rather than exhaustive: a tasting menu, rather than a comprehensive study.

  Ancient Kingdoms of Africa The:...

  Africa may have given rise to the first human beings, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world. With world-famous leaders like King Tut and Cleopatra, it’s no wonder that today’s world has so many Egyptologists. 	Although the Egyptians may not have passed their civilization directly on to later peoples, the key elements that comprised Egyptian civilization–their religion, early ideas of state, and art and architecture–can be seen in other pre-modern civilizations. For instance, civilizations far separated in time and space‒such as China and Mesoamerica‒possessed key elements that were similar to those found in ancient Egypt. Indeed, since Egyptian civilization represented some fundamental human concepts, a study of pharaonic culture can be useful when trying to understand many other pre-modern cultures.  
  	The Ancient Kingdoms of Africa: The History and Legacy of the African Continent’s Most Prominent Kingdoms in Antiquity chronicles the tumultuous rise and fall of kingdoms like Egypt, Nubia, Aksum, and more.

  The Arab Spring - Escalations...

  The Arab Springs stands as one of the most transformative events of the 21st century, reshaping the political and social landscapes of the Middle East and North Africa. Triggered in December 2010 by the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia, the movement quickly spread across the region, igniting a wave of protests, uprisings, and revolutions. These events brought to the forefront the widespread grievances of millions—grievances rooted in authoritarian governance, economic stagnation, and social inequalities that had long plagued the Arab world.  
    
  At its core, the Arab Springs was a collective demand for dignity, freedom, and justice. It represented a breaking point for societies that had endured decades of political repression and corruption. While each country experienced the uprisings differently, common threads emerged: youthful populations yearning for change, the powerful role of social media in organizing protests, and a shared sense of solidarity among citizens who saw an opportunity to challenge entrenched regimes.  
    
  The revolutions also revealed deep-seated structural issues within the region. Economic hardship, unemployment, and a lack of political freedoms were not new problems, but the Arab Springs forced governments and the international community to confront these issues in an unprecedented way. Moreover, the movement challenged the perception of Arab societies as passive or unchangeable, showcasing the determination and resilience of ordinary people striving for their rights.
