This new text from Jöran Friberg, the leading expert on Babylonian mathematics, presents 130 previously unpublished mathematical clay tablets from the Norwegian Schøyen collection, and provides a synthesis of the author's most important work. Through a close study of these tablets, Friberg has made numerous amazing discoveries, including the first known examples of pre-Classical labyrinths and mazes, a new understanding of the famous table text Plimpton 322, and new evidence of Babylonian familiarity with sophisticated mathematical ideas and objects, such as the three-dimensional Pythagorean equation and the icosahedron. In order to make the text accessible to the largest possible audience, the author has included an introductory chapter entitled, "How to get a better understanding of mathematical cuneiform texts." Throughout the text he avoids anachronisms and makes every effort to teach the reader to do the same. The approach in this book is inherently pedagogical, as Friberg illustrates all the steps of the process of interpretation and clearly explains the mathematical ideas, including terminology, metrological systems, and methods of calculation. Drawings and color photos of a large selection of tablets are also included. Particularly beautiful hand copies of the most complicated texts were made by Farouk Al-Rawi, professor of Ancient Languages and Archaeology at Baghdad University. While the book is reader-friendly, it remains as detailed and exhaustive as possible. It is the most comprehensive treatment of a set of Babylonian mathematical texts ever published and will open up this subject to a new generation of students, mathematicians, and historians of science. Jöran Friberg is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. He has recently published the book Unexpected Links Between Egyptian and Babylonian Mathematics (World Scientific 2005), and its sequel Amazing Traces of a Babylonian Origin in Greek Mathematics (World Scientific 2007).

Cette étude tente de reconstruire la première phénoménologie de la religion du jeune Heidegger par l’examen du recueil de notes éparses rédigées entre 1916 et 1919 et intitulé rétrospectivement Les fondements philosophiques de la mystique médiévale. Entre sa thèse d’habilitation et ses premiers cours d’après-guerre, Heidegger se consacre à l’écriture d’une Phénoménologie de la conscience religieuse qui, pour des raisons quelque peu mystérieuses, restera finalement inachevée. Si certains de ses éléments seront repris et assimilés dans les cours sur Paul et Augustin des années 1920 et 1921, de nombreux autres, concernant des auteurs tels que Maître Eckhart, Bernard de Clairvaux, Luther, Schleiermacher ou Adolf Reinach, ou des notions phénoménologiques, théologiques et religieuses, telles que la prédonation, la foi, la prière ou l’a priori religieux, trouvent dans ce texte une thématisation tout à fait spécifique, dictée par une situation biographique et philosophique singulière. C’est pour répondre à cette dimension hapaxique que ce livre tente un commentaire exhaustif des notes heideggeriennes. Et c’est à l’occasion de cette lecture suivie que sont apparues les grandes lignes de ce que l’on peut appeler une « herméneutique théologique » censée guider la phénoménologie sur le terrain religieux nouvellement investi et la familiariser avec des phénomènes qui résistent en certains endroits à son esprit méthodique. Malgré leur caractère introductif, les premières recherches de Heidegger témoignent d’une richesse, d’une profondeur et d’un respect de la vie religieuse inégalés à ce jour et il n’est pas exagéré de dire qu’elles devraient servir de prolégomènes à toute phénoménologie future de la religion. Ainsi, parallèlement au travail d’explication, le travail ici présenté esquisse en ce domaine quelques chemins possibles en prolongeant certaines descriptions heideggeriennes et en posant les bases d’un nouveau dialogue entre phénoménologie, théologie et sciences religieuses.

Het boek is een klassieker met een grote actuele betekenis, juist in onze tijd, waarin de religie terugkeert op de publieke agenda en de vanzelfsprekendheden van het kapitalisme steeds meer ter discussie staan.In zijn werk (1920) nuanceert Weber zijn befaamde these van de onttovering van de wereld, daarmee doelend op het onstuitbare proces van secularisering, waarin de godsdienst langzamerhand minder centraal komt te staan in de maatschappij. Hij laat zien hoe vooral het protestantisme met zijn ethiek van hard en succesvol werken de ontwikkeling van de vrije markt heeft begeleid. In naam van God geld verdienen, winst maken en woekeren met materiële goederen: zo is de ethiek van de protestant de geest van de kapitalist, de bourgeois, de ondernemer. Een schokkende en fascinerende stelling, die economen, sociologen, historici en filosofen steeds opnieuw is blijven uitdagen.https://www.uitgeverijboom.nl/boeken/filosofie/de_protestantse_ethiek_en_de_geest_van_het_kapitalisme_9789461055804/ (2013-06-30)

L'Occidente fu sempre attratto dalla Cina, ma la mitica "Terra di Mezzo" rimase un mondo sconosciuto, favoloso e irraggiungibile fino all'inizio del Seicento, quando il gesuita Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) penetrò in quell'immenso Paese, facendo conoscere alla Cina la civiltà europea. Fu un altro grande gesuita a compiere l'operazione inversa, rivelando all'Europa il volto della Cina: il trentino Martino Martini (1614-1661). Questo libro vuol essere un contributo alla conoscenza di un uomo straordinario per fede, scienza, capacità oratoria, coraggio fisico, abilità diplomatica e doti d'iniziativa. Visse solo 47 anni, di cui una dozzina passati sul mare o segregato in luoghi remoti e inospitali, ma, oltre a svolgere la sua missione evangelizzatrice in Cina, riuscì a raccogliere sul Celeste Impero una mole immensa di materiale, esponendola in alcune opere che ebbero in Europa vastissima risonanza. Tra queste un Atlante della Cina di ricchezza e precisione eccezionali. Sullo sfondo, il Seicento europeo mette in scena i suoi fasti e le sue miserie: secolo abietto e sontuoso, percorso dai fremiti del nuovo e dai sussulti del vecchio, che si apre alle innovazioni scientifiche più ardite e si accanisce nella cruenta repressione degli slanci riformatori, tra guerre interminabili, pestilenze e devastazioni, ma anche una straordinaria fioritura artistica e culturale. Dall'altra parte del mondo, in Cina, il Seicento fu altrettanto contraddittorio: insanguinato dalla feroce guerra di successione tra la vecchia dinastia dei Ming e la nuova dei Ching, fu tuttavia un'epoca di grande rinnovamento della civiltà cinese, che sfociò in un singolare amalgama di cultura letteraria, saggezza amministrativa, ritualità e credenze popolari, senza contare le millenarie tradizioni scientifiche e tecniche su cui si innestarono le grandi innovazioni matematiche, astronomiche e cartografiche europee, introdotte dai gesuiti insieme con la pratica evangelizzatrice. Protagonista di questo fecondo incontro di civiltà e di tradizioni, propugnatore di una prassi missionaria tollerante, rispettoso della sensibilità e delle consuetudini di quel popolo così fiero e civile, Martino Martini seppe interpretare il proprio apostolato con saggezza ed equilibrio, ma anche con rigore e disciplina. Nominato mandarino, esercitò la carica con dignità e decoro, al punto di diventare cinese egli stesso, per lingua, costumi e abiti, pur senza rinunciare in nulla alla sua fede.

Leberecht Migge is one of the best known – and least known garden designers of classical modernism. As a protagonist or even originator of landscape architecture in tune with innovative and socially involved building, he promoted that every household should have a garden. All his design work was deemed lost until recently, so that his oeuvre was accessible only in publications. In a spectacular discovery, the Archive of Swiss Landscape Architecture has found 322 sketches, drawings and plans of all kinds by Leberecht Migge, comprising also hitherto unknown designs for private gardens. A relevant selection of this original material is published here for the first time, in bestquality presentation. The volume is rounded off by an assessment of the significance of these designs.
