Vittorio Cotesta’s The Heavens and the Earth traces the origin of the images of the world typical of the Graeco-Roman, Ancient Chinese and Medieval Islamic civilisations. Each of them had its own peculiar way of understanding the universe, life, death, society, power, humanity and its destiny. The comparative analysis carried out here suggests that they all shared a common human aspiration despite their differences: human being is unique; differences are details which enrich its image. Today, the traditions derived from these civilisations are often in competition and conflict. Reference to a common vision of humanity as a shared universal entity should lead, instead, to a quest for understanding and dialogue.

The present volume of Time and Science series is devoted to Physical Sciences and Cosmology. Today more than ever, the question 'is Time an ontological property, a necessary ingredient for the physical description of the world, or a purely epistemological element, relative to our situation in the world?' worry physicists and cosmologists alike. For many of them, Relativity (and particularly General Relativity), as well as its reconciliation with quantum mechanics in the elaboration of a quantum theory of gravitation, points to a negative answer to the first alternative, and leads them to deny the objective reality of time. For others, the answer is nuanced by the evidence of an emerging temporal property when one climbs the scales of the complexity of systems and/or the applicability of the statistical laws of thermodynamics. But for some, the illusion of the unreality of time comes from certain confusions that they denounce, and plead for the re-establishment of time at the heart of physical theories.

Fârâbî (870-950) İslam siyasi düşüncesinin kurucu ismi olarak kabul edilir. O, geniş anlamda siyaseti, “ilk neden, evren, insan, toplum, toplumsal yaşam, kurucu önder, ülke, ulus, erdemli ülke, küresel toplum, erdemli inanç sistemi ve ideoloji, en üstün mutluluk, iktidar, siyasi rejim, anayasa, hukuka dayalı yönetim, hukuk, adalet ve medeniyet” gibi kavram ve olguları sistematik biçimde ele aldığı bütüncül bir toplum ve siyaset felsefesi ve bilimi çerçevesinde ifade etmiştir. Dolayısıyla günümüzde kamu hukuku ve siyaset bilimi kapsamında ele alınan konular Fârâbî’nin toplum ve siyaset teorisinin odağında yer alır. Bugünden bakıldığında, bilimsel bir bakışla Antik Yunan siyaset felsefesi ve siyaset bilimi kavramlarını çağının ve medeniyetinin toplumsal ve siyasi gerçekliğine uygulamış olmasına rağmen, yüzeysel bir değerlendirmeyle ütopik bir filozof olarak nitelendirilmesi ve Erdemli Ülkesinin Platon’un İdeal Devleti ile özdeşleştirilmesi, onun özellikle kamu hukuku, siyaset bilimi ve sosyoloji disiplinleri açısından irdelenmesinin ve değerlendirilmesinin önünde engel oluşturabilmektedir. Oysa Fârâbî felsefesinin önemli ve ağırlıklı bölümünü oluşturan toplum, siyaset ve devlet teorisi alanları günümüzde sosyal bilimlerde yeni, yenilikçi ve bütüncül bir bakış ile sistematik incelemelere ihtiyacın en fazla hissedildiği alanlardır. Çalışma Farabi’nin bilinen dokuz siyasi eserindeki temel kavram ve teorilerini, eserlerin orijinalleri ve Türkçe, Fransızca, İngilizce çevirileri ile onun toplum ve siyaset düşüncesi üzerine kaleme alınmış geniş bir ulusal ve uluslararası literatürden hareketle, günümüz kamu hukuku ve siyaset bilimi kavramları ışığında ele almaktadır.

This volume, the first of six to be published, studies fundamental values of Islam, along with the nature of rights and the responsibilities in a general context. The authors analyse the development of social thought and morality in Islam, and ways in which they are enforced through the family and education. Particular attention is paid to the status of women, children, youth and the socially excluded. Several chapters broach specially Islamic approaches to economics, government and justice. A world religion since its inception in the seventh century A.D., Islam is today seeking vigorous answers to contemporary problems through its multi-faceted history. Issues of poverty and wealth, inequality and demands for political expression, and respect for diversity in a difficult world of conformity are dealt with in this series. The study is organized along thematic rather than chronological lines and thus it is not necessary to read the volumes in order. Volume II is in fact the first to have been published. Volume IV is forthcoming end 2002, volume V mid 2003 and volumes III and VI in 2004.

A brilliant history of ancient China's masters of philosophy -- and how they help us understand China todayIn Ways of Heaven, leading China scholar Roel Sterckx offers an engrossing introduction to classical China's world of ideas. Drawing on evocative examples from philosophical texts, literature, and everyday life over centuries of Chinese history, Sterckx introduces major thinkers and traditions, illuminates key concepts like the dao, qi, yin, and yang, and examines questions of leadership, social order, death, nature, and more. He also reveals how these ideas shape contemporary China, from table manners at a traditional banquet, to the Chinese obsession with education and family, to the rhetoric of political leaders and the nation's grand strategy.Essential reading for students, travelers, businesspeople, and anyone curious about this rising global power, Ways of Heaven shows that to comprehend China today we must learn to think Chinese.

The era from 1400 to 1800 saw intense biological, commercial, and cultural exchanges, and the creation of global connections on an unprecedented scale. Divided into two books, Volume 6 of the Cambridge World History series considers these critical transformations. The first book examines the material and political foundations of the era, including global considerations of the environment, disease, technology, and cities, along with regional studies of empires in the eastern and western hemispheres, crossroads areas such as the Indian Ocean, Central Asia, and the Caribbean, and sites of competition and conflict, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean. The second book focuses on patterns of change, examining the expansion of Christianity and Islam, migrations, warfare, and other topics on a global scale, and offering insightful detailed analyses of the Columbian exchange, slavery, silver, trade, entrepreneurs, Asian religions, legal encounters, plantation economies, early industrialism, and the writing of history.

Prince, Pen, and Sword offers a synoptic interpretation of rulers and elites in Eurasia from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. Four core chapters zoom in on the tensions and connections at court, on the nexus between rulers and religious authority, on the status, function, and self-perceptions of military and administrative elites respectively. Two additional concise chapters provide a focused analysis of the construction of specific dynasties (the Golden Horde and the Habsburgs) and narratives of kingship found in fiction throughout Eurasia. The contributors and editors, authorities in their fields, systematically bring together specialised literature on numerous Eurasian kingdoms and empires. This book is a careful and thought-provoking experiment in the global, comparative and connected history of rulers and elites.
