Beschreibung

"Divine Twins" explores the fascinating prevalence of twin deity myths across diverse cultures and their profound significance in shaping religious, mythological, and historical narratives. These myths often grapple with fundamental aspects of the human condition, such as the tension between opposing forces like order and chaos or life and death, and the quest for balance. The recurring motif of twin deities, found in traditions as varied as the Dioscuri in Greek mythology and the Ashvins in Vedic texts, offers insights into how humanity understands the cosmos, morality, and the self. This book argues that these myths aren't mere coincidences but rather shared reflections of psychological and philosophical concerns. By examining examples from ancient cultures, the book uncovers recurring themes such as fraternal rivalry and shared destinies, demonstrating how these narratives address questions of identity, destiny, and the relationship between the human and divine realms.

 
"Divine Twins" adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from religious studies, anthropology, and history to provide a holistic understanding. The book progresses by first introducing the concept of twin deities and cosmic duality, then delving into case studies from various traditions. It analyzes the attributes, roles, and narratives of these twin figures, emphasizing their representation of complementary forces. This approach maintains scholarly rigor while remaining accessible to a broad audience, making it valuable for both students and general readers interested in comparative religion and ancient cultures.

A Vindication of the Rights of...

Mary Wollstonecraft

For many years the victim of smear campaigns by notable male writers, and dismissed as being merely 'the mother of Mary Shelley', Mary Wollstonecraft has claimed her rightful title as one of the founders of feminist thought, a movement anchored in her Vindications.
Outraged by Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, its use of gendered language and defence of monarchy and hereditary privilege, A Vindication of the Rights of Men turned the tables on philosophy. A Vindication of the Rights of Woman swiftly followed, taking the conversation further, and arguing the case for women's education. Together, these two seminal works went on to change the course of history, and her arguments continue to hold water today.
This edition contains explanatory notes and an introduction by Bee Rowlatt, Chair of the Wollstonecraft Society.

Negotiating in Civil Conflict -...

Haider Ala Hamoudi

In 2005, Iraq drafted its first constitution and held the country’s first democratic election in more than fifty years. Even under ideal conditions, drafting a constitution can be a prolonged process marked by contentious debate, and conditions in Iraq are far from ideal: Iraq has long been racked by ethnic and sectarian conflict, which intensified following the American invasion and continues today. This severe division, which often erupted into violence, would not seem to bode well for the fate of democracy. So how is it that Iraq was able to surmount its sectarianism to draft a constitution that speaks to the conflicting and largely incompatible ideological view of the Sunnis, Shi’ah, and Kurds? Haider Ala Hamoudi served in 2009 as an adviser to Iraq’s Constitutional Review Committee, and he argues here that the terms of the Iraqi Constitution are sufficiently capacious to be interpreted in a variety of ways, allowing it to appeal to the country’s three main sects despite their deep disagreements. While some say that this ambiguity avoids the challenging compromises that ultimately must be made if the state is to survive, Hamoudi maintains that to force these compromises on issues of central importance to ethnic and sectarian identity would almost certainly result in the imposition of one group’s views on the others. Drawing on the original negotiating documents, he shows that this feature of the Constitution was not an act of evasion, as is sometimes thought, but a mark of its drafters’ awareness in recognizing the need to permit the groups the time necessary to develop their own methods of working with one another over time.
