A obra de Paul Tillich é fortemente influenciada pela filosofia de Friedrich Schelling. O doutorado em Filosofia de Tillich, defendido em 1910 na Universidade de Breslau evidencia seu interesse nesse autor. Intitulado “A história da religião na Filosofia Positiva de Schelling”, a tese de 1910 só foi publicada em 1974, em inglês, com tradução de Victor Nuovo. Embora seja um texto de juventude, nele se enuncia um estilo de escrita que acompanhará o posterior amadurecimento de Tillich, bem como temas que serão aprofundados ao longo de sua trajetória, tais como a importância da história, da mitologia, a busca por identidade, o símbolo da queda, a encarnação e a profundidade da mensagem cristã como revelação da possibilidade de harmonização entre o ser humano e o Absoluto. O presente artigo apresenta um resumo dessa tese, com considerações pontuais que identificam elementos que posteriormente serão desenvolvidos por Tillich, e é resultado de um projeto de IC (Iniciação Científica) coordenado pelo autor principal e acompanhado pelo discente que providenciou a tradução da tese de 1910.Abstract The work of Paul Tillich is strongly influenced by the philosophy of Friedrich Schelling. Tillich’s doctorate in philosophy, defended in 1910 at the University of Breslau evidences his interest in this author. Entitled "The History of Religion in Schelling's Positive Philosophy," the 1910 thesis was only published in 1974, in English, with translation by Victor Nuovo. Although it is a text of his youth, it already enunciates a style of writing that will accompany the later maturation of Tillich’s work, with themes that will be deepened along his trajectory, such as the importance of history, mythology, the search for identity, the symbol of the fall, the incarnation and depth of the Christian message as revelation of the possibility of harmonization between humanity and the Absolute. The present article presents a summary of Tillich’s thesis, with specific considerations that identify elements that will later be developed by Tillich, and is the result of an IC project (Scientific Initiation) coordinated by the main author of this article and accompanied by the student who provided the translation of the 1910 thesis.

AbstractThe history of uniform convergence is typically focused on the contributions of Cauchy, Seidel, Stokes, and Björling. While the mathematical contributions of these individuals to the concept of uniform convergence have been much discussed, Weierstrass is considered to be the actual inventor of today’s concept. This view is often based on his well-known article from 1841. However, Weierstrass’s works on a rigorous foundation of analytic and elliptic functions date primarily from his lecture courses at the University of Berlin up to the mid-1880s. For the history of uniform convergence, these lectures open up an independent branch of development that is disconnected from the approaches of the previously mentioned authors; to my knowledge, Weierstraß never explicitly referred to Cauchy’s continuity theorem (1821 or 1853) or to Seidel’s or Stokes’s contributions (1847). In the present article, Weierstrass’s contributions to the development of uniform convergence will be discussed, mainly based on lecture notes made by Weierstrass’s students between 1861 and the mid-1880s. The emphasis is on the notation and the mathematical rigor of the introductions to the concept, leading to the proposal to re-date the famous 1841 article and thus Weierstrass’s first introduction of uniform convergence.

In our literature, following Professor D. Ugrinovich, it is still customary to divide religious studies into theoretical and historical ones. It even found its name in the name of some religious departments, institutes. We will not discuss here the issue of the legitimacy of such a division. To me, the philosophy of religion is one of the disciplinary entities of religious studies, as is the history of religion. The main specificity of religious studies (as opposed to the study of religious phenomena by individual sciences) is that it studies religion not as a whole, but as a whole, in the organic totality of all its components and functions. Religion appears to him not as a static phenomenon, but as a dynamic phenomenon. The subject of religious studies is a functioning religion, and this functioning occurs through the interaction and interplay of all its components, and not with the absolute extinction of something in it in the change of historical eras, because religion has a prehistoric meaning.

Although we trace the beginnings of national religious thought in the time of Kievan Rus, its first secular professional appearances in the individual writings of public figures and in the lectures of some of the university professors of Kiev, however, socialism interrupted the process of becoming Ukrainian religious studies. Although ideologically incomplete and scientifically grounded in considering religious phenomena of the work of some Ukrainian scholars appeared during these years, in general, researchers of that era used Marxism's opiate religion in their work, sought to determine the ways and even times of dying, as then of the judgments. It is this orientation of religious studies in Ukraine that has been dominant, if not the only. Therefore, if colleagues from Russia at this time wrote fundamental works on the history of religion, its individual confessional manifestations, which have not lost much of their scientific significance in our time, then in Ukraine such works appeared only occasionally, because, according to the communist - Party installations, it was necessary to study not what religion is, but how to overcome it.

Caesarea Maritima

The Herodian hippodrome/stadium at Caesarea was exposed between 1992 and 1998. It runs parallel to the shore between the Herodian harbour and the theatre, at the location specified by Josephus. Josephus refers to the structure as an amphitheatre but it is clear from him and from the archaeological evidence to be described below that equestrian events were an integral part of the games held in it. In the very late Republic and early Empire, the term amphitheatre was used indifferently to designate a stadium or a hippodrome rather than the traditional Roman oval amphitheatrum. Josephus also calls this building ‘the great stadium’ in conjunction with events at the time of the procurator Pontius Pilate in A.D. 26, and it was still known by that name in the 4th c. It was inaugurated in 10/9 B.C. The games held included athletics (gymnika), horse- and chariot-races (hippika), and Roman spectacles (munera gladiatorum and venationes), so the structure had to serve the needs of the contestants and spectators of all these events. The present article is a preliminary report that focuses on the carceres excavated by the team from the University of Haifa, but it will first be helpful to summarize the history of the building as a whole as known from the adjacent work by the Israel Antiquities Authority.

I propose in the present article to mention the additions which have been made during recent years to our knowledge of the medieval, Turkish and modern periods of Greek history, especially by the Greeks themselves. In the fifth edition of Paparregopoulos' standardHistory of the Greek Nation, edited and continued by Professor P. Karolides, we have an account of the whole history of the Greeks from prehistoric times down to the annexation of Thessaly and Arta in 1881. The editor, who sat in the Turkish parliament and is particularly strong in all that regards the Moslem world, has, by large additions to the text and by footnotes, brought the classic masterpiece of his author up to date, while for the first time this work is illustrated and indexed. In the general field of medieval Greek history theAnnual of the Society of Byzantine Studies, which first appeared in 1924, has published a number of articles by Greek specialists, while theByzantinisch-Neugriechische Jahrbücherof Professor Nikos A. Bees, started at Berlin in 1920, has been published since 1926 in Athens, where a similar periodical,Helleniká, edited by Professors Amantos and Kougeas, is announced. The local medieval and modern history of Epeiros is being collected in theEpeirote Chronicles, of which two volumes and a biographical supplement have appeared; that of Thrace in the similar periodical,Thrakiká, of which one complete volume has been issued. Dr Franz Dölger has produced two instalments of theCorpus der griechischen Urkunden des Mittelalters und der neueren Zeit, planned by Krumbacher, and giving German summaries of documents from 565 to 1204, andBeiträge zur Geschichte der byzantinischen Finanzverwaltung besonders des10.und11.Fahrhunderts. Messrs A. E. R. Boak and James E. Dunlap have contributedTwo Studies in Later Roman and Byzantine Administrationon “The Master of the Offices” and “The Office of the Grand Chamberlain” respectively toThe University of Michigan Studies, Humanistic Series(vol. XIV, New York, 1924).

Toward a salvageable Tillich: The implications of his late confession of provinicialism

In occasional addresses late in his life Paul Tillich confesses to a lingering provincialism in his theology during the same period in which he was completing the third volume of his systematic theology where many of these same provincialisms appear. The article identifies such provincialisms in his ecclesiology, missiology, christology, history of religion and eschatology. The article then argues that his final position, embodied in his understanding of the Religion of the Concrete Spirit, endorses a universal sacramentalism in interplay with mystical and prophetic elements that would appreciate all religions but deny any an absolute claim while able to compensate religious needs specific to each cultural moment. The revisioning of humanity's religious propensity as supporting a mutually relative relation among religions remains valuable in an historical period when the human future may be threatened by competing unqualified religious claims and their secular equivalents.

Background and Aims A bound manuscript describing the medical cases seen by a mid-eighteenth century Scottish doctor was discovered in the possession of the first author's family. The identity of the doctor is not revealed in the book. The aims were to identify the doctor and understand the significance of this book in the context of Scottish medical history of that period. Methods The process of investigation involved transcribing the book in order to undertake detailed study of the text, with particular focus on style of writing, location, and the names of patients and doctors mentioned. This information was then used in searches of the Wellcome Library for the History and Understanding of Medicine, London and the Department of Special Libraries and Archives of the University of Aberdeen as well as searches of the internet. Results The author was discovered to be a doctor working in Aberdeenshire in the middle of the eighteenth century. His style of writing suggests an educational purpose, with a particular interest in midwifery, and evidence of teaching midwifery techniques to students. He associated with other prominent local doctors of the time and was aware of the current thinking being put forward by his contemporaries. He had a particular association with Dr John Gregory, with whom he not only worked, but whose extended family he also treated. Conclusions The author of this casebook was identified as Dr David Skene, and this adds to our knowledge of this important figure of the Scottish Enlightenment who had a particular interest in midwifery and campaigned for the proper instruction of midwives
