Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 364 pages, 16 color & 82 b/w illustrations - An anthology. L'Internationale is a trans-institutional network of five major European museums and artists' archives (Moderna galerija Ljubljana; Július Koller Society Bratislava/Vienna, MACBA Barcelona, Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven, M HKA Antwerp). Taking as its starting point these five museums and their respective collections, "L'InternationalePost-War Avant-Gardes Between 1957 and 1986" presents a wide range of case studies, historiographical and theoretical essays that reconsider a period in art history that, according to the established canon, has been almost exclusively dominated by Western Europe and North America. In questioning this canon the publication works to acknowledge the existence of and to explore a dispersed, multi-polar, and at times interconnected neo-avant-gardist field that existed (long) before it became common to think according to frameworks of globalization or trans-nationalism.…

From the dust jacket: 'While many in the philosophical community today treat antifoundationalism as a 'postmodern' cultural phenomenon, this work demonstrates that it has been and continues to be a major theme from the very early stages of Western philosophy. These ten essays follow and expound the history of this approach from pre-Socratic times to the present, when it seems to have informed the thinking of most philosophers. The debate over foundationalism, the viewpoint that there exists some secure foundation upon which to build a system of knowledge, appears to have been resolved and the anti-foundationalists have, at least temporarily, prevailed. But, as Professor Rockmore shows in his introduction to the collection, efforts to treat the issue as closed reflect a failure to grasp the vigor of the debate through the ages. These contemporary essays review and thereby renew the debate. From a firmly historical approach, the book traces the foundationalism/antifoundationalism controversy in the work of many important figures--Anaximander, Aristotle and Plato, Augustine, Descartes, Hegel and Nietzsche, Habermas and Chisholm, and others-- throughout the history of philosophy. The contributors, Joseph Margolis, Ronald Polansky, Gary Calore, Fred S. Michael, Emily Michael, Wilhelm S. Wurzer, Charlene Haddock Siegfried, Sandra B. Rosenthal, Kathleen Wallace, and the editors, present well the genuine diversity, continuing interest, and historical roots of antifoundationalism. '.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. viii, 131 pages : illustrations, maps ; 30 cm. Maresha is located in the Judean lowlands approximately 40 km southwest of Jerusalem and approximately 30 km southeast of Ashkelon. This volume is the final report of one of the most interesting subterranean complexes at Maresha. Located in close proximity to an area identified as a temple or shrine, its contents suggest a possible connection to this structure. It was within this cave complex that the “Heliodorus” stele was discovered (Chapter 12), along with Aramaic (Chapter 8) and Greek ostraca (Chapter 9), numerous figurines (Chapter 6), kernos lamps (Chapter 5), coins (Chapter 10), stamped handles (Chapter 7), astragals and an extraordinary array of faunal remains (Chapter 11).
