Sinossi

Ocellus Lucanus on the Nature of the Universe presents a fascinating exploration into the philosophical musings on cosmology and metaphysics. Spanning a diverse range of styles from early mystical doctrines to refined Neoplatonic discourse, the collection captures the milieu of late antiquity, where pagan thought processes intersected profoundly with burgeoning Christian ideologies. This anthology includes profound reflections on existential themes, oscillating between the mystical and the empirical, offering readers insight into the philosophical inquiries of the Hellenistic period. Standout pieces such as the contemplations on the harmony of cosmic order illuminate the depth and sophistication of ancient thought, establishing a timeless dialogue on the universe's origins and essence. The esteemed contributions by Julius Firmicus Maternus, Proclus, and Tauros weave a tapestry of intellectual heritage, grounding the anthology in historical depth and cultural richness. Each author embodies a distinct voice from ancient philosophical landscape—Firmicus with the infusion of astrological wisdom, Proclus with his systematic blending of Platonic traditions, and Tauros with an enigmatic interpretation of Aristotelian logic. Together, they represent a coherent alignment with the intellectual currents of Neoplatonism, displaying an evolution of philosophical thought influenced by diverse traditions and inquiries about the universe. This collection is an indispensable resource for readers interested in uncovering the multifaceted dimensions of ancient philosophical literature. It invites exploration of varied perspectives, encouraging a reflective dialogue on the nature of existence and the cosmos. Beyond its educational offerings, it brings forward an immersive experience of literary and philosophical beauty, encouraging contemporary readers to reflect deeply on the coherence of ancient and modern intellectual pursuits. By delving into this assembly of thought-provoking texts, one can participate in an enduring conversation about the metaphysical mysteries that continue to challenge and inspire humanity.

The Individualization of War -...

Dapo Akande, David Rodin,...

The rights and responsibilities of the individual are at the center of today's armed conflicts in a way that they have never been before. This process of "individualization," which challenges the primacy of the sovereign state, is driven by normative developments related to human rights that have elevated human-centric conceptions of security and created a new class of international crimes, as well as by technological and strategic developments that can both empower individuals as military actors and enable either the targeting or protection of particular individuals. 
 
 
 
The Individualization of War examines the status of individuals in contemporary armed conflict in three main capacities: as subject to violence but deserving of protection; as liable to harm because of their responsibility for attacks on others; and as agents who can be held accountable for the perpetration of crimes. This book presents a novel conceptualization of the phenomenon of individualization, including how it is both practiced and contested. It then convenes a set of leading thinkers from the fields of moral philosophy, international law, and international relations to further our understanding of not only how individualization is manifest in armed conflict—in theory and in practice—but also how it generates tensions and challenges for today's scholars and practitioners.

Aged just seventeen, Catalina married Carlo I, duke of Savoy, and moved from the royal court in Madrid to Turin to begin a new life as a duchess. Overlooked by historians and little known today, Catalina was nonetheless a key figure in sixteenth-century Europe.

In this widely researched account, Magdalena Sánchez traces Catalina's life from her childhood to her early death shortly after giving birth to her tenth child. Drawing on thousands of letters Catalina exchanged with her husband, Sánchez paints an intimate portrait of a young Spanish woman adapting to a new husband, a new land, and the demands of governance.
