Synopsis

In 'The Garden of Cyrus,' Thomas Browne navigates the intricate relationship between nature, art, and philosophy through a distinctive literary style that intertwines prose and poetic elements. Published in 1658, this work exemplifies the author's fascination with the symbolism of the number five, which he meticulously explores through the lens of the quincunx—a geometric pattern that reflects both the intricacies of the natural world and human perception. Browne's exceptional blend of erudition and whimsy invites readers into a contemplative space where botanical observations flourish alongside metaphysical inquiries, positioning the book as a significant contribution to the genre of early modern scientific literature and an exploration of microcosmic and macrocosmic connections. Thomas Browne, a physician and polymath, is celebrated for his profound curiosity and intellect, attributes that propelled him to delve deeply into the philosophical questions surrounding existence and the natural order. His background in medicine informed his insights into the natural world, allowing Browne to blend empirical observation with philosophical reflection. 'The Garden of Cyrus' showcases his literary talents while reflecting the broader intellectual currents of the Renaissance, where explorations of nature often intersected with metaphysical musings. This captivating work is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of science, philosophy, and literature. Browne's eloquent prose invites a deep engagement with the themes of perception and order within the chaos of nature. Those who appreciate thoughtful introspection and the exploration of ideas will find 'The Garden of Cyrus' a richly rewarding experience.

    The Heian Period, spanning from 794 to 1185 CE, marks one of the most culturally rich and politically significant eras in Japanese history. This chapter lays the groundwork for understanding the historical context, political dynamics, and societal structure that defined the early stages of the Heian era. The period officially began when Emperor Kanmu moved the imperial capital from Nara to Heian-kyō, present-day Kyoto. This relocation was intended to establish a new seat of power free from the influence of powerful Buddhist monasteries that had grown too entwined with politics in Nara. 
    The move to Heian-kyō signified more than a change in geography—it was the beginning of a new political and cultural identity. The city was meticulously planned, modeled after the Chinese capital of Chang’an, with a grid-like structure that reflected a vision of order and centralized authority. However, over time, the influence of the emperor waned as powerful aristocratic families, particularly the Fujiwara clan, rose to prominence. By marrying their daughters into the imperial family and acting as regents, the Fujiwara effectively controlled the court, shaping policy and governance from behind the scenes. 
    The political landscape of early Heian Japan was one of ceremonial grandeur and subtle manipulation. Real power resided in the hands of a few elite families, and the imperial court became increasingly detached from the provinces. This created a division between the cultured, refined life of the capital and the often turbulent realities of rural Japan, where local warrior clans began to assert their own authority.

    In an era of traditional political party decline, this book explores a new phase of nativist mobilization, in which street politics plays an increasingly important role. Movement parties offer an exceptional object of study since they challenge the conventional distinction between institutional and non-institutional politics. Examining the "production structure" of ten movement parties across nine European countries, the authors identify key factors that affect their engagement in protest activity. They address the organizational capacity, decision-making processes, and external mobilization of these collective actors using unique empirical material, including quantitative data on far-right protest mobilization spanning over a decade, protest network visualizations, and qualitative interviews with high-ranking officials. 
     
     
     
    The book provides fresh insights into how the far right spreads its influence and relates to non-institutional politics, making it essential for anyone concerned about the way in which nativist collective actors transform society from the ground up. A compelling study looking at the relationship between electoral politics and grassroots activism, Movement Parties of the Far Right illuminates the complex organizational and strategic choices underlying far-right mobilization.
