Ian Buruma explores the life and death of Baruch Spinoza, the Enlightenment thinker whose belief in freedom of thought and speech resonates in our own time  A New Yorker “Best Book of 2024” Selection  “An elegant, relevant biography of a vital thinker.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)  Baruch (Benedictus) Spinoza (1632–1677) was a radical free thinker who led a life guided by strong moral principles despite his disbelief in an all-seeing God. Seen by many—Christians as well as Jews—as Satan’s disciple during his lifetime, Spinoza has been regarded as a secular saint since his death. Many contradictory beliefs have been attached to his name: rationalism or metaphysics, atheism or pantheism, liberalism or despotism, Jewishness or anti-Semitism. However, there is no question that he viewed freedom of thought and speech as essential to an open and free society.  In this insightful account, the award-winning author Ian Buruma stresses the importance of the time and place that shaped Spinoza, beginning with the Sephardim of Amsterdam and followed by the politics of the Dutch Republic. Though Spinoza rejected the basic assumptions of his family’s faith, and was consequently expelled from his Sephardic community, Buruma argues that Spinoza did indeed lead a ...

Novinář a profesor na Bard University Ian Buruma (Vražda v Amsterodamu) přispívá v této knize do diskuse o místu organizovaného náboženství ve veřejné sféře politickými a kulturními analýzami ze Spojených států, Evropy a Asie. Zkoumá dějiny vztahů církve a státu v USA a Evropě, úlohu náboženství v politice Číny a Japonska a rostoucí vliv islámu v současné Evropě a pokouší se rozřešit, jak byla v různých kulturách demokracie tímto napětím (mezi náboženskou a světskou autoritou) zasažena. V jednom ze svých provokativních výzkumů se dotýká sekulárních, liberálních Evropanů, z nichž někteří dnes nacházejí v boji proti islámu společnou řeč s konzervativci z obavy, že kvůli němu dojde ke snížení progresivních zisků posledních desetiletí. Buruma se rozchází s teokraty i striktními sekularisty a na příkladu Martina Luthera Kinga mladšího místo toho dokazuje, že projevy náboženských názorů v politice jsou legitimní, pokud tyto názory utvářejí postoje, jež podléhají rozumu. Díky Burumově bystrosti a umírněnosti se jedná o nejvíce informativní úvod do systému oteplování vztahů mezi náboženstvím a státem v moderní době. Vychází v edici 21. století.

Ian Buruma''s maternal grandparents, Bernard and Winifred (Bun & Win), wrote to each other regularly throughout their life together. The first letters were written in 1915, when Bun was still at school at Uppingham and Win was taking music lessons in Hampstead. They were married for more than sixty years, but the heart of their remarkable story lies within the span of the two world wars.After a brief separation, when Bernard served as a stretcher bearer on the Western Front during the Great War, the couple exchanged letters whenever they were apart. Most of them were written during the Second World War and their correspondence is filled with vivid accounts of wartime activity at home and abroad. Bernard was stationed in India as an army doctor, while Win struggled through wartime privation and the Blitz to hold her family together, including their eldest son, the later film director John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy, Sunday Bloody Sunday), and twelve Jewish children they had arranged to be rescued from Nazi Germany.Their letters are a priceless record of an assimilated Jewish family living in England throughout the upheavals of the twentieth century and a moving portrait of a loving couple separated by war.

Byl to demonstrativní zločin. Jednoho listopadového dne zavraždil mladý rozhněvaný muslim výstřelem z pistole holandského filmového režiséra Theo van Gogha za to, že se spolu s černou imigrantkou a političkou Aján Hirsi Aliovou odvážil natočit ostrý prtiislámský snímek promítnutý v nizozemské televizi. Zavraždění známého kulturního provokatéra z ideově-náboženských důvodů rukou marockého přistěhovalce otřásla poklidným a tradičně tolerantním Holandskem a vyvolala vlnu hněvivých protestů po celém světě. Ian Buruma, profesor americké university, se vrací do rodného Holandska, aby řadou rozhovorů s muslimy, kulturními a veřejnými činiteli pátral po okolnostech a motivech, jež vedou zejména mladé Maročany k odmítání evropské kultury, jejich demokratických hodnot, proč podléhají vábení a návodům fundamentalistických džihádistů, kteří vedou "svatou válku" proti liberálnímu Západu.

An exploration of how the name of Liberty became synonymous with Aestheticism and the English Art Nouveau Movement, and its role in shaping contemporary late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Artistic Dress Liberty’s dress department opened in 1884, headed by Edward William Godwin, an architect with a multi-faceted career and an important figure in the Aesthetic Movement. From the mid-nineteenth century, women fought against restrictive clothing such as tight-laced corsets and heavy petticoats, which were harmful to their health, and chose instead to dress in looser fitting dresses, coloured with natural dyes and ornamented with embroidery and needlework. Liberty was at the forefront of Aestheticism with their recognisable soft, drapeable silks, transparent textiles, and fabrics imported from parts of Asia and the Middle East. Their customers were an eclectic mix of women who wanted to dress artistically and stand out from the crowd. Liberty was the chosen resort of the artistic shopper. With archival materials and previously unpublished pattern books, Anna Buruma navigates Liberty’s role in artistic dress. Examining how their idiosyncratic fashions of Greek and Roman style evening dress and medieval tea gowns translated into late nineteenth and early twentieth century fashionable dress. Liberty sustained their popularity through good taste ... Unknown localization key: "more"

At the heart of this book are twenty-eight real-life animals and the myths and literature, paintings, drawings, textiles and ceramics they have inspired some of the most celebrated Japanese artists and writers to create Since the dawn of Japanese folklore and religion, the Japanese soul has cultivated a special connection with nature and wildlife, in part due to the natural abundance of the Japanese archipelago.

How the classic mirror test served as a portal for scientists to explore questions of self-awarenessSince the late eighteenth century, scientists have placed subjects—humans, infants, animals, and robots—in front of mirrors in order to look for signs of self-recognition. Mirrors served as the possible means for answering the question: What makes us human? In The Mirror and the Mind, Katja Guenther traces the history of the mirror self-recognition test, exploring how researchers from a range of disciplines—psychoanalysis, psychiatry, developmental and animal psychology, cybernetics, anthropology, and neuroscience—came to read the peculiar behaviors elicited by mirrors. Investigating the ways mirrors could lead to both identification and misidentification, Guenther looks at how such experiments ultimately failed to determine human specificity. The mirror test was thrust into the limelight when Charles Darwin challenged the idea that language sets humans apart. Thereafter the mirror, previously a recurrent if marginal scientific tool, became dominant in attempts to demarcate humans from other animals. But because researchers could not rely on language to determine what their nonspeaking subjects were experiencing, they had to come up with significant innovations, including notation strategies, testing protocols, and the linking of scientific theories across disciplines.

The perfect introduction to the world of Japanese myth and legend.This is a smart and succinct guide to the rich tradition of Japanese mythology, from the earliest recorded legends of Izanagi and Izanami, their divine offspring and the creation of Japan, to medieval tales of vengeful ghosts, through to the modern-day reincarnation of ancient deities as the heroes of mecha anime. While many around the world love Japan's cultural exports, few are familiar with Japan's unique mythology - enriched by Shinto, Buddhism and regional folklore.Mythology remains a living, evolving part of Japanese society, and the ways in which the people of Japan understand their myths are very different today even from a century ago, let alone over a millennium into the past.
