This annotated translation of selected works by the early Muslim mystic al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi of northeastern Iran, who died some time between 905 and 910 at about ninety years of age, was produced by the felicitous collaboration of two scholars. One of them, Bernd Radtke, has previously published studies in German on al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi and meticulously edited some of his works, while the other, John O'Kane, is known for his fine English translations of various Persian sources of Islamic mysticism. Though titled “Two Works,” the book actually includes three translations: (1) the translation of al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi's autobiography on pages 15–36 (which Radtke previously translated into German in Oriens 34 [1994]: 242–98); (2) the translation of al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi's Sirat al-awliya (The Way of Life of the Friends of God) on pages 38–211 (which, in a slightly different German translation, appeared as the first part of B. Radtke, Drei Schriften des Theosophen von Tirmid. Zweiter Teil: Übersetzung und Kommentar [Beirut, 1996], 9–154); and (3) the translation of an appendix of text passages selected from other works of al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi on pages 213–39, also previously published in German (Drei Schriften: Zweiter Teil, 154–74). The Introduction to the annotated translations is rather short, and its references are somewhat sparse and cryptic. The reader is frequently referred to Radtke's German dissertation on the author (cf. Bernd Radtke, Al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi: Ein islamischer Theosoph des 3./9. Jahrhunderts [Freiburg: Klaus Schwarz, 1980]) and to his edition of the Arabic texts written by al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi (Drei Schriften des Theosophen von Tirmid. Erster Teil: Die arabischen Texte [Beirut, 1992]).

Daudi Bohras as a prominent Shiite Ismaili sect in India has been recognized as a modern Islamic society. Despite their traditional Islamic Shiite custom which is brought up from their ancestry, yet the people of Bohras has a distinct perspective toward Islam as the way of life. Unlike the other Shiite sects that put themselves on a distance to the modernity, Bohras people are able to cooperate within the modern issues in the frame of traditional. Mullah, or Da'i Mutlaq played an important role as a top cleric leader in guiding his people according to their rules. Indeed, Da'i Mutlaq, who is recognized as a representative of imam (leader of Shiite Islam), has successfully combined the outlook of his people in defining Islam in their cultural frame. Therefore, it is an intriguing phenomenon to be observed This paper is, as a matter of fact, Jonah Blanks anthropological work used as a main reference. Keywords: Daudi Bohra, Shiite, India

<p><em>This research focuses on the study of the Kaṭha Upaniṣad text and its implementation in social life. The Kaṭha Upaniṣad is one of the important books among the other Upanishad books. This book also contains many teachings of Hindu theology and divine philosophy. Ātman and Brahman are important discussions in the Kaṭha Upaniṣad. The philosophical side of the Kaṭha Upaniṣad is closely related to human concepts and the way of life to be free from suffering. The Kaṭha Upaniṣad offers a unique perspective by understanding the main character of mankind, namely Ātman (God within oneself). The most tangible context of the Kaṭha Upaniṣad teachings can be seen in the Sai Study Group (SSG) Denpasar. Sai Baba’s discourses do not indeed refer to the Kaṭha Upaniṣad as the main reference, but every activity at the Sai Study Group Denpasar has an alignment with the Vedic teachings.</em></p>

This book offers a reading of Spinoza’s moral philosophy. Specifically, it is a philosophical exposition of his masterpiece, the Ethics, that focuses on his moral philosophy. Central to the reading I defend is the view that there is a way of life that is best for human beings, and what makes it best is that it is the way of life that is in agreement with human nature. I begin this study with Spinoza’s theory of emotions, and I do so because it is one of two doctrines that fundamentally shape the structure and content of his vision of the way of life that is best. The other is his view that striving to persevere in being is the actual essence of a finite thing (3p7). Together these make up the foundation of Spinoza’s moral philosophy, and it is from these two doctrines that his moral philosophy emerges. In saying this I am not denying that his substance monism, the doctrines of mind-body parallelism and identity, the tripartite theory of knowledge, and his denial of libertarian free will, among others, also belong to the foundation of his moral philosophy. Each of these contributes in its way to the portrait of the best way of life, and they play important roles in the chapters that follow. But it is his theory of emotions and the theory of human nature on which it rests that are chiefly responsible for the structure and content of his moral philosophy....

A Convenção 169 da OIT tem como destinatário os povos indígenas, quilombolas e demais povos tradicionais existentes nos Estados independentes. Historicamente a OIT tratou estes povos como trabalhadores que deveriam ser integrados ao mercado de trabalho e, portanto, objeto de políticas públicas de pleno emprego. A partir de 1989 houve uma mudança de postura da OIT para definir direitos de existência coletiva e garantia de territorialidade capaz de manter o modo de vida destes povos, sejam conceituados como indígenas ou tribais. No Brasil o reconhecimento destes direitos aos povos indígenas e quilombolas é claro na legislação, mas assim não é para outros tradicionais, que igualmente têm estes direitos e necessitam de reconhecimento, nos exatos termos da Convenção. Abstract The Convention 169/ILO is in order to the indigenous peoples, quilombolas and other traditional peoples existing in the independent states. Historically, the ILO has treated these peoples as workers who should be integrated into the labor market and therefore the subject of full employment public policies. Since 1989 there has been a shift in the ILO's position to define rights of collective existence and guarantee of territoriality capable of maintaining the way of life of these peoples, whether considered as indigenous or not. In the Brazilian case the recognition of these rights to the indigenous and quilombolas is clear, but not always, mistakenly, is recognized to the other traditional peoples.

The final chapter of the book turns to Biblical Hebrew so that the portrayal of a language from a different family can, through this very contrast, set off better what is Indo-European about the other languages considered so far. Not only are the sounds themselves different (the Semitic languages have many more fricatives and sounds produced in the throat than the older Indo-European languages did) but the way they’re arranged into words is also distinctive, with the triconsonantal root structure a notable hallmark of the Semitic family. Then, the chapter focuses on a couple of syntactic patterns that are especially characteristic of Biblical Hebrew, the waw-conversive and construct chains, showing how these features even make their way into the English translations of the Bible, such as the King James Version, in such phrases as “and it came to pass” and “Holy of Holies”.

Limiting a person’s lifestyle to objective social conditions is usually due to the fact that they determine the essence and nature of people's life activities. However, not only social, but also natural factors determine people’s life activity. The article shows that the way of life of people can be studied only in unity with the conditions of life. Its essence should be revealed taking into account the influence of natural and social conditions on it. This means that the concepts of “living conditions” and “lifestyle” are inseparable, but it does not mean that one of them becomes an integral part of the other. In fact, living conditions, or rather the natural and social spheres, only describe the possible range of people’s activities. It is emphasized that not only living conditions shape the way of life of a person, but he himself changes the surrounding conditions, both social and natural, during his life.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the early beginnings of women’s emancipation in Greece. The rise of such a new consciousness was undoubtedly slow in the Greek context as the four century Ottoman rule had placed the female figure in a clearly subservient and passive role. The main focus of the essay is on the admirable writings and social activities of Kallirroi Parren, one of those Greek pioneering women who devoted their lives to the improvement of the position of the woman in a community still so largely connected with the past and not yet prepared to accept changes. Kallirroi Parren was fully aware of such boundaries and claimed for a moderate authonomy. Furthermore, the essay draws a parallel between the characters of Parren’s most meaningful book, Η Χειραφετημένη (The Emancipated Woman), with some of the characters described by Angelica Palli Bartolommei in her Racconti (Short Stories). The aim is to demonstrate how these distinguished women – one Greek and the other of Greek origin, whose family had moved to Italy – were sharing the same view on women’s rights although dwelling in different countries. In other words, two distinctive personalities but one single voice. The study ends by quoting the date and the causes of Parren’s death in order to honor the life of a woman who paved the way of women’s liberation in Greece, a path which was later followed by many other women who, like the great Cretean, made of such a battle a way of life.

The struggle between good and evil is one of the main subjects of the Epistle of Pseudo-Barnabas, which originated between 70 and 130, thus, in the period when apocalyptic literature was flourishing. The latter’s impact on the Epistle is undeniable, and is expressed in the characteristic approach of the present time as the „last days” marked by intense activity of evil forces. Even though the out­come of God’s struggle with Satan has already been decided by the victory of Jesus Christ on the cross, still it is ongoing, and at different levels. For Pseudo- Barnabas, two areas of this confrontation are of utmost importance: the ortho­doxy of faith and morality of life. The first issue is treated very broadly (chapters I-XVII), and its essence is to convince the readers of the Letter of the saving exclusivism of Christianity. The author radically opposes Judaism, considering all its laws and institutions in their historical implementation (e.g. sacrifices, fasting, Sabbath, temple, ritual ordinances) as the result of both the incorrect (physical) interpretation of the inspired Scriptures and submission to Satan’s insidious work. The only people of the Covenant are those who have believed in Jesus Christ and were immersed in the water of baptism. The other area of the still ongoing strug­gle is the heart of a Christian who, at any time, has to choose between the way of life and the way of death (chapters XVIII-XX). The final manifestation of Christ’s victory over evil will happen at His second coming, when He will put an end to the „times of the Wicked” and will bring into His Kingdom all the Christians faithful to His teaching.
