Paperback. Condition: New. When Rome was at its height, an emperor's male beloved, victim of an untimely death, would be worshipped around the empire as a god. In this same society, the routine sexual exploitation of poor and enslaved women was abetted by public institutions. Four centuries later, a Roman emperor commanded the mutilation of men caught in same-sex affairs, even as he affirmed the moral dignity of women without any civic claim to honor. The gradual transformation of the Roman world from polytheistic to Christian marks one of the most sweeping ideological changes of premodern history. At the center of it all was sex. Exploring sources in literature, philosophy, and art, Kyle Harper examines the rise of Christianity as a turning point in the history of sexuality and helps us see how the roots of modern sexuality are grounded in an ancient religious revolution.While Roman sexual culture was frankly and freely erotic, it was not completely unmoored from constraint. Offending against sexual morality was cause for shame, experienced through social condemnation. The rise of Christianity fundamentally changed the ethics of sexual behavior. In matters of morality, divine judgment transcended that of mere mortals, and shame-a social concept-gave way to the theological notion of sin. This transformed understanding led to Christianity's explicit prohibitions of homosexuality, extramarital love, and prostitution. Most profound, however, was the emergence of the idea of free will in Christian dogma, which made all human action, including sexual behavior, accountable to the spiritual, not the physical, world.

Add to basketSoftcover. Condition: As New. Pozoruhodna studie toho, jak nicive pandemie a prirodni katastrofy zpustosily rozsahlou rimskou risi a prispely k padu nejmocnejsi civilizace staroveku. Dejepisci jsou po staleti fascinovani strmym padem rimske civilizace. Kyle Harper ve sve knize poprve klade duraz na ulohu, kterou pri nem hraly klimaticke zmeny a velke epidemie. Pomoci modernich vedeckych metod a dat z ,prirodnich archivu", tedy z ledovcovych jader nebo sekvenovani DNA, Harper odhaluje, ze osud Rima nebyl psan pouze jeho politiky, vojaky a okolnimi barbary, ale ze k nemu prispely i sopecne erupce, slunecni cykly, klimaticka nestabilita ci devastujici ucinky rychleho sireni viru a bakterii, ktere umoznila pokrocila rimska infrastruktura. Kolaps Rima byl totiz podle autora zejmena triumfem prirody nad lidskou ctizadosti. Ve druhem stoleti, na vrcholu sve sily, byl Rim neporazitelnou supervelmoci. O nekolik stoleti pozdeji byly vsechny jeho zdroje vycerpane a rise se topila v politickem chaosu. Kniha popisuje boj Rimanu s neustale se zhorsujicimi vykyvy podnebi a opakovane propukajicimi epidemiemi dymejoveho moru, kterym oblezena rise nemohla odolavat naveky. V Harperove britke reflexi vztahu lidstva a planety slouzi Rim jako memento toho, ze dejiny nasi civilizace jsou klimatickymi vlivy a evoluci bakterii psany v mnohem vetsi mire, nez si jeste dnes dokazeme priznat.

GUSTAV SEIBT, SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG FATUM ist das erste Buch, in dem konsequent die katastrophale Rolle untersucht und beschrieben wird, die Klimawandel und Seuchen beim Zusammenbruch des römischen Weltreichs spielten. Gestützt auf neueste wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse aus dem Bereich der Klimawissenschaft und der Genetik erzählt Kyle Harper die Geschichte eines Infernos, in dem wir wie in einem fernen Spiegel beängstigend vertraute Züge unserer eigenen Welt wiedererkennen. 'Hinter das hier vorgeführte Niveau wird die weitere Diskussion nicht mehr zurückfallen dürfen.' Uwe Walter, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung 'Stark an Harpers Buch sind seine globalen klimageschichtlichen Aussagen, die uns im Big-History-Stil in Erinnerung rufen, wie sehr die Menschheitsgeschichte Funktion der Naturgeschichte ist.'

Add to basketCondition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Kyle Harper nos ofrece una nueva visión de la decadencia y caída del Imperio romano, que nos descubre el papel determinante que el cambio climático y las enfermedades infecciosas tuvieron en su ruina. Partiendo de la época feliz de Marco Aurelio, el autor nos conduce hasta el momento en que un imperio asediado no pudo resistir el embate conjunto de una «pequeña edad glacial» y de la peste bubónica. Kyle Harper, que combina la erudición histórica con el método científico, nos conduce a una reflexión que enlaza una nueva forma de ver la historia con los problemas del presente. La recepción del libro por parte de los especialistas ha sido entusiasta: desde Peter Brown, que lo califica de «historia a lo grande», hasta Walter Scheidel, que lo valora como «un auténtico hito en el estudio del mundo romano, apasionante, innovador y hasta revolucionario». *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
