"W swojej monografii Biografia duchowa i antropologia chrześcijańska metropolity Antoniego Blooma (1914-2003) autor prezentuje postać pierwszego zwierzchnika rosyjskiego prawosławia na terenie Wielkiej Brytanii. Książka jest nie tylko opisem życia i poglądów metropolity Antoniego, lecz także niezwykle ciekawą refleksją na temat losów współczesnego prawosławia i jego konfrontacji z nowożytnością i kulturą Zachodu. To bardzo ciekawe dzieło, które wykracza poza samą biografię prawosławnego hierarchy, ukazując tło historyczne opisywanych wydarzeń i odkrywając nową perspektywę interpretacyjną jego myśli. Z recenzji prof. dr hab. Urszuli Pawluczuk (Uniwersytet w Białymstoku)".

Charting his journey from hippie to monk to lay practitioner, teacher, and interpreter of Buddhist thought, Batchelor reconstructs the historical Buddha's life, locating him within the social and political context of his world. In examining the ancient texts of the Pali Canon, the earliest record of the Buddha's life and teachings, Batchelor argues that the Buddha was a man who looked at human life in a radically new way for his time, more interested in the question of how human beings should live in this world than in notions of karma and the afterlife. According to Batchelor, the outlook of the Buddha was far removed from the piety and religiosity that has come to define much of Buddhism as we know it today.

In the Islamic world, the writing of biographical reference works has a very long tradition. In the field of philosophy and other rational sciences such as medicine, one could, for example, mention Isḥāq b. Ḥunayn's (d. 298/910) Taʾrīkh al-aṭibbāʾ wal-ḥukamāʾ or Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿa's (d. ca 668/1270) ʿUyūn al-anbāʾ fī taʾrīkh al-aṭibbāʾ . The present two-volume biographical dictionary of philosophers and physicians of all times thus continues a centuries-old tradition. Its author, Quṭb al-Dīn Ishkawarī Lāhijī (d. ca. 1088-95/1677-78), was a student of the great Safavi thinker and founder of the School of Isfahan in philosophy, Mīr Dāmād (d. 1041/1631). This is also obvious from his spiritually-orientated, inclusive understanding of the various actors and episodes in the history of philosophy. Written in classical Arabic, at times sprinkled with his native Persian, it distinguishes itself from earlier dictionaries in that it also contains many of the author's own philosophical opinions. 2 vols; volume 2.
