‎Thailändische Miniaturmalereien. Nach einer Handschrift der Indischen Kunstabteilung der Staatlichen Museen Berlin. Von Klaus Wenk. Mit 20 doppelseitigen und 6 einseitigen Farbtafeln. Verzeichnis der Orientalischen Handschriften in Deutschland; hrsg. v. Wolfgang Voigt; Supplementband, III.‎

‎Franz Steiner Verlag; Wiesbaden, 1965. XIV; 116 Seiten; zahlr. farbige Illustrationen; 28,5 cm; fadengeh. Orig.-Leinenband.‎

‎Gutes Exemplar; der gelbe Einband stw. fleckig u. berieben; Vorsätze etwas nachgedunkelt. - ? Die berühmten Buddhabronzen des Landes verraten in ihren Anfängen allzusehr den Einfluß der überlegeneren Khmer-Kultur und lassen darüber hinaus das Vorbild der Gupta-Kunst Indiens erkennen. Die Grundideen der thailändischen Architektur sind vermutlich originäres Gut der Thaivölker, und ihre Bauten sind auch bis zu einem gewissen Grade vollendet, jedoch ist ihre Entwicklung bereits seit Jahrhunderten erstarrt, ohne je einen Höhepunkt erreicht zu haben. Die Malerei Thailands weist natürlich auch Beziehungen zur Malerei der benachbarten Kulturzentren auf, besonders zu China. Die Kunst Südostasiens ist eine "Kunst im Schmelztiegel der Rassen". Die fremdartigsten Völkerschaften kamen entlang der von Norden nach Süden führenden großen Ströme in die fruchtbaren Reisebenen oder drangen von den offenen Küsten her ins Land ein. Primitivkulturen, die der zahlreichen, über den gesamten Subkontinent verteilten Gebirgsstämme und echte Hochkulturen, wie die der Mon und Khmer, waren daran beteiligt, die Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten des thailändischen Geistes in Charakter und Form mit-zubestimmen. Die eigentliche kulturelle Leistung der Thai ist, aus den vielen heterogenen Elementen, die in ihrem Land Spuren hinterlassen haben, eine Synthese geschaffen zu haben, die ihre eigenen Fähigkeiten in einer spezifischen Manier ausdrückt, so daß man von einer Thaikunst zu reden vermag. Ein großer Teil der wertvollsten Wandmalereien ist bereits vernichtet oder befindet sich ständig in weiterer Auflösung. Allgemeines Desinteresse, auch von offizieller Seite, ließ es zu, daß die anfälligen Temperamalereien ungeschützt dem verheerenden tropischen Klima preisgegeben wurden. In älteren, baufälligen Tempeln, besonders in Ayuthayä, sind bereits ganze Wände, die vor noch nicht langer Zeit mit den herrlichsten Malereien bedeckt waren, vom Monsunregen völlig leergewaschen. Nicht einmal Kopien der verlorengegangenen Bilder sind vorhanden. Andere Malereien, so die in der alten Thronhalle in Bangkok, Phutthaisawann, werden nur noch durch Drahtwerk vor dem Abbröckeln bewahrt. Auch die Wandmalereien in einigen Tempeln Thonburis ?

‎MYTH AND PHILOSOPHY IN PLATO'S PHAEDRUS‎

‎Cambridge University Press. Near Fine. 2012. Hardcover. 1107021286 . Very light bump to one corner else new. Pictorial boards. ; 307 pages; Plato's dialogues frequently criticize traditional Greek myth yet Plato also integrates myth with his writing. Daniel S. Werner confronts this paradox through an in-depth analysis of the Phaedrus Plato's most mythical dialogue. Werner argues that the myths of the Phaedrus serve several complex functions: they bring nonphilosophers into the philosophical life; they offer a starting point for philosophical inquiry; they unify the dialogue as a literary and dramatic whole; they draw attention to the limits of language and the limits of knowledge; and they allow Plato to co-opt cultural authority as a way of defining and legitimating the practice of philosophy. Platonic myth as a species of traditional tale is thus both distinct from philosophical dialectic and similar to it. Ultimately the most powerful effect of Platonic myth is the way in which it leads readers to participate in Plato's dialogues and to engage in a process of self-examination. .

A professional anthropologist recounts his experiences outside the bounds of normal reality tracing his numerous journeys across space and time his exchanges with shape-shifters spirit guardians and a Hawaiian mystic from several centuries into the future. From Publishers Weekly While living on the flank of an active Hawaiian volcano between 1985 and 1989 anthropologist Wesselman reports he had a series of visionary experiences. Projected 5000 years into the future into the consciousness of a Hawaiian kahuna or shamanic healer named Nainoa Wesselman presumably learned firsthand that Western civilization had been destroyed by a sudden rise in the ocean level. Through his paranormal interactions with Nainoa across the millennia Wesselman has adventures in the spirit world and also watches as a band of Hawaiian natives who survived the cataclysm sail to the former California coast to rediscover the lost devastated continent of North America. Fans of Carlos Castaneda's books may relate to these detailed premonitory visions fleshed out with observations of Hawaiian shamanism. Wesselman lectures on shamanism and witchcraft at Sierra College in California. QPB main selection. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information Inc. Review Fans of Carlos Castaneda will relish this anthropologist's similar probe of the spirit world. Enjoy a spiritual autobiography which recounts life-changing encounters which began as dreams but grew to take him on visionary journeys and experiences which brought him in touch with spirit helpers and guardians. -- Midwest Book Review.

‎HESIOD: WORKS AND DAYS Edited with Prolegomena and Commentary‎

‎Very light shelfwear to book and DJ; 1996 Sandpiper reprint of 1978 Edition. ; 399 pages; Hesiod was an ancient Greek poet whose Works and Days discusses agricultural practices and society in general. Classicists and ancient historians have turned to Works and Days for its insights on Greek mythology and religion. The poem also sheds light on economic history and ancient agriculture, and is a good resource for social scientists interested in these areas. This translation emphasizes the activities and problems of a practicing agriculturist as well as the larger, changing political and economic institutions of the early archaic period. The authors provide a clear, accurate translation along with notes aimed at a broad audience. The introductory essay discusses the changing economic, political and trading world of the eighth and seventh centuries B. C. E. , while the notes present the range and possible meanings of important Greek terms and references in the poem and highlight areas of ambiguity in our understanding of Works and Days.‎
