Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra: uma história dentro da história
O reaparecimento da Imprensa da Universidade, depois de um longo período de silêncio, correspondeu antes de mais à recuperação de uma sigla prestigiada num contexto de aprofundamento da qualidade do ensino e da investigação que se verifica em Coimbra. Muitos livros e revistas se publicam anualmente na nossa Universidade; no entanto, sentia-se a falta da produção de manuais ou de outros livros com documentos para apoio ao ensino, tal com se sentia a falta de coleções, com carácter interdisciplinar ou de investigação científica, escritos de preferência por professores da casa. A História da Imprensa, tal como nos é contada neste livro, faz-nos remontar a tempos bem diferentes dos atuais, mostrando-nos bons e maus momentos da sua evolução, mas permite concluir pelo predomínio da enorme importância e brilhantismo que teve, dando a autores de nomes já consagrados e a jovens cientistas ou poetas a possibilidade de publicarem numa editora conhecida dentro e fora do nosso País.(...) Fernando Rebelo - Reitor da Universidade de Coimbra.
Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra: a história, os homens e os livros
"...Quando a Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra estava no apogeu e publicava livros e revistas em número considerável, desempenhava essas funções como única entidade do género na instituição. Hoje, felizmente, a Universidade publica trabalhos científicos e didáticos em todas as suas Faculdades e até em alguns dos seus Serviços. Pareceria desnecessária a reativação dessa sigla de tão grandes pergaminhos. Dois anos de atividade provaram o contrário. A atual Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra tomou como prioritária a publicação de livros úteis para os estudantes, de preferência escritos pelos seus professores. Rapidamente se verificou que estava a ir mais longe, atingind...
Encyclopedia of Renaissance Philosophy
Gives accurate and reliable summaries of the current state of research. It includes entries on philosophers, problems, terms, historical periods, subjects and the cultural context of Renaissance Philosophy. Furthermore, it covers Latin, Arabic, Jewish, Byzantine and vernacular philosophy, and includes entries on the cross-fertilization of these philosophical traditions. A unique feature of this encyclopedia is that it does not aim to define what Renaissance philosophy is, rather simply to cover the philosophy of the period between 1300 and 1650.
Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
The initial ‘idea’ for the book emerged during the seminar Sharing of Innovative Pedagogical Practices that occurred at the University of Coimbra (Portugal) in 2018. Like all ‘good ideas’, this one originated in a conversation between colleagues from the University of Coimbra and the University of West London in the United Kingdom. The ‘idea’ of this book was to move away from sharing experiences related to teaching and learning in higher education in just one or two countries, but instead to organise a more European view about the policy, research and teaching practices that are shaping the way our students learn, academics teach and do research. We have a total of 16 chapters from academics in Portugal, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and the Czech Republic. The book is organised in four interrelated themes: (1) policy and quality; (2) professionalisation of teaching and academic development; (3) research and teaching nexus; and (4) pedagogy and practice. Enjoy reading the book!
The Literary and Cultural Reception of Charles Darwin in Europe
Beyond his pivotal place in the history of scientific thought, Charles Darwin's writings and his theory of evolution by natural selection have also had a profound impact on art and culture and continue to do so to this day. The Literary and Cultural Reception of Charles Darwin in Europe is a comprehensive survey of this enduring cultural impact throughout the continent. With chapters written by leading international scholars that explore how literary writers and popular culture responded to Darwin's thought, the book also includes an extensive timeline of his cultural reception in Europe and bibliographies of major translations in each country.
A Life Devoted to Plutarch: Philology, Philosophy, and Reception
Philology, philosophy, commentary and reception in Plutarch's work are only some of the main topics discussed within a large academic output devoted to the writer of Chaeronea by Professor Paola Volpe Cacciatore. The volume is divided into four sections: Plutarchean Fragments, Quaestiones convivales, Religion & Philosophy, and Plutarch's Reception from Humanism to Modern Times. The eighteen studies collected in this volume, originally published in Italian and here translated into English, concern the Corpus Plutarcheum, including Table-Talks, De Iside et Osiride, the treatises against the Stoics, De genio Socratis, De liberis educandis, De musica, and some Plutarchean fragments. The volume is a tribute to celebrate the lifelong study of Plutarch's work by Professor Paola Volpe Cacciatore, one of the most remarkable Plutarchean scholars of the last decades.

Plutarch’s Religious Landscapes
A Platonist philosopher and priest of Apollo at Delphi, Plutarch (ca. 45-120 CE) covers in his vast oeuvre of miscellaneous writings and biographies of great men virtually every aspect of ancient religion, Greek, Roman, Jewish, Egyptian, Persian. This collection of essays takes the reader on a hike through Plutarch’s Religious Landscapes offering as a compass the philosopher’s considerations on issues of philosophical theology, cult, ethics, politics, natural sciences, hermeneutics, atheism, and life after death. Plutarch provides a unique vantage point to reconstruct and understand many of the interesting developments that were taking in the philosophical and religious world of the first centuries CE.
