Ibn al-Fāriḍ (d. 632/1235) is arguably the greatest mystical poet in the history of Arabic literature. Born in Cairo and a student of Shāfiʿī law and ḥadīth in his younger years, he turned to mysticism, living a solitary existence on Cairo's Muqaṭṭam hills, in the desert, and in the Hijaz. After his return to Cairo, people worshipped him as a saint, and even today admirers still visit his tomb. Ibn Turka Iṣfahānī (d. 835/1432) stemmed from a well-educated family in Isfahan. A survivor of Tīmūr Lang's (d. 807/1405) massacre of the population of Isfahan in 789/1387, he first studied the Islamic sciences with his elder brother in Samarqand, after which he went on a study tour which took him to such great scholars as Shams al-Dīn Fanārī (d. 834/1451) and Sirāj al-Dīn al-Bulqīnī (d. 805/1403). A specialist of mysticism in its relation to philosophy and Islam, this is his commentary on Ibn al-Fāriḍ's al-Tāʾiyya al-kubrā.

Behind rolling hills, overlooking the fjord and the islands of Southern Funen in Denmark, you will find Faaborg Museum. With its boldly coloured walls and decorative tile floors made from local clay, the building has quite literally sprung from Funen soil in a symbiosis of local nature and culture. Inside, visitors will find art by the "Funen Painters", created during the period 1880 to 1928 where Faaborg was home to one of Denmark's pre-eminent artists' colonies. With their paintings of rural Funen, farmworkers and domestic scenes, the artists Peter Hansen, Fritz and Anna Syberg, Jens Birkholm and Johannes Larsen introduced new subject matter and new methods of painting in Danish art. Faaborg Museum and the Artists' Colony presents the history of Faaborg Museum, its architecture, collection and artists to international audiences for the first time. Lavishly illustrated, the book features architectural photographs and plans as well as pictures of the museum's art. Exhibition: Faaborg Museum, Denmark (11.05.-27.10.2019).

Widely regarded as the founder of the Islamic philosophical tradition, and as the single greatest philosophical authority after Aristotle by his successors in the medieval Islamic, Jewish, and Christian communities, Alfarabi was a leading figure in the fields of Aristotelian logic and Platonic political science. The first complete English translation of his commentary on Aristotle's Topics, Alfarabi's Book of Dialectic, or Kitāb al-Jadal, is presented here in a deeply researched edition based on the most complete Arabic manuscript sources. David M. DiPasquale argues that Alfarabi's understanding of the Socratic art of dialectic is the key prism through which to grasp his recovery of an authentic tradition of Greek science on the verge of extinction. He also suggests that the Book of Dialectic is unique to the extent to which it unites Alfarabi's logical and political writings, opening up novel ways of interpreting Alfarabi's influence.

Die »Ordinary Language-Philosophie«, nach der die klassischen Probleme der theoretischen Philosophie nicht substanzieller, sondern begrifflicher Natur sind, gilt heute in weiten Teilen der analytischen Philosophie als überholt. Zu Unrecht, wie Nicole Rathgeb argumentiert. Sie verteidigt sie gegen Paul Grice, eine Reihe von zeitgenössischen Autoren und Vertreterinnen und Vertreter der Experimentellen Philosophie. Dabei geht es insbesondere darum, Argumente gegen die Existenz begrifflicher Wahrheiten zu entkräften, zu zeigen, wie wir auf der Grundlage unserer Sprachkompetenz nicht-triviale Erkenntnisse gewinnen können, und dafür zu argumentieren, dass wir in der Philosophie nicht auf Umfragen oder andere empirische Studien zurückgreifen müssen.

Throughout the 1920s and 30s Prague was the intellectual center of Ukrainian émigrés in Europe, not least because of significant financial support from the Czechoslovak government and its first president, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, for émigré students and intellectuals. On the basis of extensive archival research in Ottawa, Prague, and Kyiv, Zavorotna outlines the continuation of Ukrainian scholarship in history, linguistics, pedagogy, the visual arts, and other disciplines at various institutions in Prague and Poděbrady. These schools constitute the critical link between Ukrainian intellectual life before World War One and postwar émigré communities in Canada and the United States.

In this collection of writings produced between 2000 and 2018, the pioneering literary historian of the Czech underground, Martin Machovec, examines the multifarious nature of the underground phenomenon. After devoting considerable attention to the circle surrounding the band The Plastic People of the Universe and their manager, the poet Ivan M. Jirous, Machovec turns outward to examine the broader concept of the underground, comparing the Czech incarnation not only with the movements of its Central and Eastern European neighbors, but also with those in the world at large. In one essay, he reflects on the so-called Pulnoc Editions, which published illegal texts in the darkest days of the late forties and early fifties. In other essays, Machovec examines the relationship between illegal texts published at home (samizdat) and those smuggled out to be published abroad (tamizdat), as well as the range of literature that can be classified as samizdat, drawing attention to movements frequently overlooked by literary critics. In his final, previously unpublished essay, Machovec examines Jirous's "Report on the Third Czech Musical Revival" not as a merely historical document, but as literature itself.

In his grotto and garden concepts, Bernard Palissy (1510-1590) developed the veristic "style rustique". It reflects the upheavals that transformed Renaissance Europe, particularly in the fields of religion and science. Juliette Ferdinand addresses all of Palissy's areas of interest, including ceramics, garden art, and natural philosophy. She sheds light on his demand for a reform of science and religion that should be guided by a return to the origins of nature and scripture. Beyond the astonishment that their appearance still arouses in the viewer, it is the complexity and richness of an era that the "rustic figulines" testify to. In seinen Grotten und Gartenkonzepten entwickelte Bernard Palissy (1510-1590) den veristischen "style rustique". In ihm spiegeln sich die Umbrüche wider, die das Europa der Renaissance insbesondere in Religion und Wissenschaft grundlegend verändert haben. Juliette Ferdinand setzt sich mit allen Interessensgebieten von Palissy auseinander, darunter Keramik, Gartenkunst und Naturphilosophie. Sie beleuchtet seine Forderung nach einer Reform von Wissenschaft und Religion, die bestimmt sein sollte von der Rückbesinnung auf die Ursprünge der Natur und der Schriften. Die "rustic figulines", die auch den heutigen Betrachter noch in Staunen versetzen, zeugen von der Komplexität und dem Reichtum einer ganzen Ära.
