Plotinus the Master and the Apotheosis of Imperial Platonism
With both the Roman Empire and contemporary scholarship as backdrop, this book contrasts the Imperial Platonism of Plotinus with Plato's own by distinguishing one as a master enlightening disciples, and the other as an Athenian teacher who taught students to discover the truth for themselves in the Academy.
Neoplatonism in Late Antiquity
This book is a philosophical study of two major thinkers who span the period of late antiquity. While Plotinus stands at the beginning of its philosophical tradition, setting the themes for debate and establishing strategies of argument and interpretation, Proclus falls closer to its end, developing a grand synthesis of late ancient thought. The book discusses many central topics of philosophy and science in Plotinus and Proclus, such as the one and the many, number and being, the individuation and constitution of the soul, imagination and cognition, the constitution of number and geometrical objects, indivisibility and continuity, intelligible and bodily matter, and evil. It shows that late ancient philosophy did not simply embrace and borrow from the major philosophical traditions of earlier antiquity--Platonism, Aristotelianism, Stoicism--by providing marginal comments on widely-known philosophical texts. Rather, Neoplatonism offered a set of highly original and innovative insights into the nature of being and thought, which can be distinguished in much subsequent philosophical thought, up until modernity.
Iamblichus and the Foundations of Late Platonism
Drawing on recent scholarship and delving systematically into Iamblichean texts, these ten papers establish Iamblichus as the great innovator of Neoplatonic philosophy who broadened its appeal for future generations of philosophers.
Shayzar I
On the basis of a detailed analysis of the archaeological evidence and of the written documentation, this book examines the origins and the development of the fortification of Shayzar, especially between the 10th and the 13th centuries.
Wissen über das östliche Europa im Transfer
Der 1517 gedruckte "Tractatus de duabus Sarmatiis" des Krakauer Gelehrten Maciej z Miechowa beschrieb das östliche Europa zwischen Weichsel und Kaspischem Meer, von antiken Autoren Sarmatien genannt, erstmals quellenkritisch und realitätsnah. Zahlreiche Auflagen sowie übersetzungen ins Polnische, Deutsche, Italienische und Niederländische belegen die Relevanz des Werkes im frühneuzeitlichen Raumdiskurs. Die philologisch-kulturwissenschaftliche Studie erschließt die Edition, übersetzung und Rezeption des "Tractatus", rekonstruiert seine Zirkulation im Europa des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts und analysiert, wie das Zusammenspiel von raumzeitlichem, editorischem und sprachlichem Transfer zu Modifikationen des Wissens über "Sarmatien" führte.
Selbstbewegung und Lebendigkeit
„Welche ist die Definition dessen, was den Namen ‚Seele‘ trägt? Haben wir eine andere als die eben angegebene: ‚die Bewegung, die sich selbst bewegen kann‘?" (Lg. 895e). Die hier versammelten Beiträge berühren das in Platons Spätwerk und im Platonismus zentrale Thema der Seele als Prinzip von Selbstbewegung und Lebendigkeit mit Blick auf die intelligible Welt, die Erkenntnisfunktion der Seele, ihre kosmische sowie politisch-soziale Dimension.

Real Estate and Destination Development in Tourism
Real estate is one of the driving factors of destination development. In some destinations value added from the construction and sales of second homes even surpasses value added created in the traditional tourism sector. This book, edited by Peter Keller and Thomas Bieger, contributes to the deeper understanding of the dynamics of real estate development in destinations: the role, structure and development of destination real estate markets; evolving real estate business models in destinations; the socio-economic impacts of real estate on destinations; optimizing destination capacity through real estate management strategies, and public-private governance approaches for managing holiday property market development. The book provides a unique database for the important topic of real estate and destination development in tourism with contributions from 43 researchers and 18 case studies.
Coscienza, linguaggio, società
Il linguaggio costituisce per Searle il luogo privilegiato per mostrare la relazione tra coscienza e intenzionalità (come capacità di riferirsi a qualcosa) ovvero, in senso generalissimo, la relazione tra ciò che sta entro la mia mente e oggetti circostanti. Gli atti linguistici mostrano una considerevole ricchezza e varietà di modi di adattarsi alla realtà. Tra questi, quello che maggiormente interessa Searle negli sviluppi più recenti del suo pensiero, è quello che sta all’origine della società.
