History & Criticism

Presented in their original medieval Latin and with commentary and notes in English, this is a translation of thirty poems from Carmina Burana.
The Carmina Burana is a collection of poems, songs and sung religious drama from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Often described as the work of wandering scholars, it actually contains many pieces by famous clerics of the period. The verses are lively, uninhibited celebrations of the joys of wine, women and gambling, but there are also serious poems on the pains of love and the moral corruption of the Church.

Carmina Burana: Thirty Poems (Reading University Medieval and Renaissance Latin Texts)

A valuable collection of essays on Aristotle's metaphysics, by J.L. Akrill, Jacob Bernays, Jonathan Barnes, Norman Gulley, W.W. Fortenbaugh, Charles H. Kahn, Malcolm Schofield and Richard Sorabji. The collection is supplemented by an annotated bibliography, general index and index of passages cited from Aristotle.Aristotle does not regard the philosophy of mind as a separate subject, but approaches it sometimes as a biologist, sometimes as a metaphysician, sometimes from his study of mankind.  This variety of approach enables him to produce new insights, as his treatment of the relationship between body and soul, the distinction between the five senses and the nature and role of the emotions.  Harder to understand, but comprehensively explained in this book, is his treatment of the imagination, and one aspect of his treatment of thinking.  The book concludes with an examination of one of the most famous of Aristotle's works, the Poetics.  Bernay's classic article on the role of the emotions in tragedy and the nature of catharsis is translated from the German for the first time.  The book concludes with an examination of Aristotle's treatment of poetry and its role in educating us as a whole.Articles on Aristotle brings together in four volumes some of the most important papers on Aristotle's philosophy written in the last hundred years of philosophy. Each volume in itself is a coherent attempt to treat a particular area of philosophy and to give a new perspective to Aristotle's work in it.  Together the fours volumes cover the whole range of Aristotle's thought.  Many of the articles are translated for the first time from French and German.  Some have not been published before.  All Greek quotations have been translated into Enlgish, and each volume contains a detailed bibliographical guide.

Articles on Aristotle: Volume 4: Psychology and Aesthetics

This book is now firmly established as the standard treatment of its subject. The history of comparative religion is traced in detail from its beginnings in the nineteenth century, in the work of scholars such as Max Muller and anthropologists - such as Tylor, Lang, Robertson-Smith and Frazer - through the American psychologists of religion - such as Starbuck, Leuba, William James - to the period after the First World War, when the evolutionary approach was seriously called into question. It also examines the relevance of religion to Freud and Jung; the 'phenomenology of religion'; the tensions between comparative religion and theology; and the work of such outstanding personalities as Nathan Söderblom and Rudolf Otto. The last two chapters review the main issues raised since the Second World War.
