Ancient and Medieval Concepts of Friendship
Charts the stages of the history of friendship as a philosophical concept in the Western world. Focusing on Plato and Aristotle, the Stoics and Epicureans, and early Christian and Medieval sources, Ancient and Medieval Concepts of Friendship brings together assessments of different philosophical accounts of friendship. This volume sketches the evolution of the concept from ancient ideals of friendship applying strictly to relationships between men of high social position to Christian concepts that treat friendship as applicable to all but are concerned chiefly with the souls relation to Godand that ascribe a secondary status to human relationships. The book concludes with two essays examining how this complex heritage was received during the Enlightenment, looking in particular to Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Hölderlin.
Paul in the Greco-Roman World
Distinguished Pauline scholars offer an insightful examination of Paul and his world, using carefully chosen examples to demonstrate how particular features of Greco-Roman culture shed light on Paul's letters and on his readers' possible perceptions of them.
The Moral World of James
In The Moral World of James, James Riley Strange compares the moral system in the Epistle of James with other Greco-Roman and Judaic texts. The author of the epistle prescribed moral practices in a world in which other people, both pagan and Jewish, had long been expressing similar concerns, and more would continue to take up the task centuries after Christianity was well established in the Roman Empire. In this fresh and thick analysis, Strange's systemic comparison of texts (among them works of Plato, Plutarch, Epictetus, and Aelius Aristides, as well as Greek Magical Papyri, tractates of the Mishnah, and the Community Rule of the Dead Sea Scrolls) reveals how James's vision of a distinctive way of community life was both part of and distinct from the moral and religious systems among which it emerged.
Polyimides and Other High Temperature Polymers: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications
This book is mostly based on papers presented at the Fourth International Symposium on this topic held in Savannah, Georgia. However, in addition to these papers, certain very relevant papers have also been included to broaden the scope and thus enhance the value of this book. Currently there is tremendous interest in these material because of their unique properties and applications in diverse technological areas ranging from microelectronics to aerospace to adhesive bonding. This book is divided into three parts: Part 1: Synthesis and Bulk Characterization; Part 2: Surface and Interface Aspects (Composites and Metallization); and Part 3: Applications. The topics covered include: synthesis of a number of polyimides with tailored properties; nanocomposites for high-performance applications; molecular assembly of polyimides; polyimide L-B films; metallization of polyimides; applications of high temperature polymers as proton exchange membranes; dielectrics, and in textile.
Courage My Companion
This book is about my personal life, my professional life as an ad man, and my “parallel life” about my interests in several voluntary and professional organizations (Round Table, Rotary, agencies dealing with ad vertising, PR, printing, media). I believe that the book provides glimpses into all these worlds. I hope it does so in an interesting way. I also hope it conveys the message that if an ordinary person like myself - without great advantages by way of birth, wealth, education or looks - could achieve some success, so could anyone else. I have written an anecdotal chapter about my immense belief in God (‘My Tryst with God’). I’m sure it will strike a chord in many. Atheists and agnostics among my readers - go through this chapter with an open mind!
