From Gods to God: The Dynamics of Iron Age Cosmologies (Forschungen Zum Alten Testament) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The birth of the West stems from the rejection of tradition. All our evidence for this influence comes from the Axial period, 800-400 BCE. Baruch Halpern explores the impact of changing cosmologies and social relations on cultural change in that era, especially from Mesopotamia to Israel and Greece, but extending across the Mediterranean, not least to Egypt and Italy. In this volume he shows how an explosion of international commerce and exchange, which can be understood as a Renaissance, led to the redefinition of selfhood in various cultures and to Reformation. The process inevitably precipitated an Enlightenment. This has happened over and over in human history and in academic or cultural fields. It is the basis of modernization, or Westernization, wherever it occurs, and whatever form it takes.

Gr.-8°, Ln. m. SU. XIV, 556 S. Neubuch / New Copy // Für die Entstehung des Westens war die Achsenzeit (800400 v. Chr.) unentbehrlich. Baruch Halpern untersucht den Einfluß sich verändernder Kosmologien und sozialer Beziehungen auf den kulturellen Wandel dieser Epoche und insbesondere auf die Gebiete von Mesopotamien bis Israel und Griechenland, aber auch über den Mittelmeerraum hinaus bis Ägypten und Italien. Der Autor zeigt einen enormen Anstieg internationalen Handels und Austauschs: eine Renaissance, die zu einer Neudefinition des Selbst in verschiedenen Kulturen führte und damit zu einer Reformation beitrug. Dieser Prozeß beschleunigte unausweichlich eine Aufklärung. Er ist seit jeher Teil der Geschichte und findet periodisch in wissenschaftlichen oder kulturellen Bereichen statt. Er stellt die Basis für eine Modernisierung oder Verwestlichung dar, wo immer sie in irgendeiner Form stattfindet. ISBN: 9783161499029 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 960.
