Zubaan From Possession to Freedom – The Journey of
Book SynopsisThe Tamil text Nilakeci, published between the first and fifth centuries, deals with Jaina philosophy through the use of an unusual literary technique: retrieving a pey, or possessing spirit (usually a woman), from the folk tradition and casting it in a new image. Thus a demon becomes a philosopher, for example and if that is possible, then anyone can transform themselves into someone new, a redeemed self, by following the Jaina tenets. This is a profoundly subversive idea within the tradition, as is the use in Nilakeci of a female persona to debate with the most prominent teachers, all but one of them male, from the various schools of thought prevalent at the time. This book places Nilakeci within a historical context while nonetheless maintaining its status as a singular, radical work, using translations of selected excerpts to make a powerful case.

Leuven University Press Henrici de Gandavo Summa (Quaestiones ordinariae)
Book SynopsisCritical study of the ‘second part’ of Henry’s Summa devoted to the Persons of the Trinity Henry of Ghent’s Summa, art. 53-55, was composed shortly after Christmas of 1281, at the height of Henry’s teaching career in the Theology Faculty at the University in Paris. These questions, which begin the ‘second part’ of his Summa, are devoted to the Persons of the Trinity. They contain Henry’s philosophical analyses of the theoretical concepts person, relation, and universals. The text has been reconstructed based upon manuscripts copied from a first and second Parisian university exemplar. In the critical study that precedes the Latin text, the editors argue that the manuscript, Biblioteca VATICANA, Borghese 17, which contains the texts of these articles and which has, in the latter part of this manuscript, many of the features of an exemplar divided into pecia, could not have been the exemplar divided into pecia for these particular articles. The volume concludes with the typical tables.

Aspekt B.V., Uitgeverij Logic and Islam: Part 1 -- Faith Issues
Book SynopsisThroughout history, a believer did not need logical proof to believe in Almighty God. This is because the spiritual proof was always enough to admit the existence of Almighty God and to submit to Him. Finding Almighty God is not a mathematical equation that needs to be proven. Rather, it is a spiritual feeling due to a call from inside a human being. The relationship between Almighty God and humans is spiritual rather logical. However, with the advances in science and technology, this spiritual relationship decreases. Nowadays, modern man is looking for logic and scientific answers to many questions relating to Almighty God and religions. In fact, nonbelievers or atheists are not the only ones looking for answers to these types of questions; believers also want to increase their faith and remove doubts from their hearts. The main objective of this book is to provide logical answers to questions relating to belief in Almighty God, creations and Islam as the last heavenly religion. These questions are grouped under several topics, namely: 1) Almighty God, 2) the creation, 3) the soul, 4) the hereafter, 5) the destiny and freedom in choices, 6) the holy Quran and 7) the Islam. The main feature of this book is that the author provides logic flowcharts with each presented question relating to the different topics. Each logic flowchart has three phases: a start, a process and an end.

Urim Publications Nefesh HaTzimtzum, Volume 1 Volume 1: Rabbi Chaim
Book SynopsisNefesh HaTzimtzum provides the single most comprehensive and accessible presentation of the teachings and worldview of the Vilna Gaon’s primary student, Rabbi Chaim Volozhin. It is focused on Rabbi Chaim’s magnum opus, Nefesh HaChaim, a work that has lain in almost total obscurity for nearly two centuries due to its deep Kabbalistic subject matter. Nefesh HaTzimtzum opens up the real depth of the ideas presented in Nefesh HaChaim together with all of Rabbi Chaim’s related writings, making them accessible to the public for the first time in any language. In addition to the complete English translation, Nefesh HaTzimtzum includes the full facing page Hebrew text of Nefesh HaChaim and many other writings by Rabbi Chaim, along with in-depth explanations, an informative historical overview, an easily consumable innovative presentation layout and a full index. After centuries of confusion, extensive clarification is provided of the central Kabbalistic concept of Tzimtzum, or the secret of how an infinite God occupies a finite world. Most importantly, it unequivocally demonstrates that the key Kabbalists, including the Vilna Gaon, Rabbi Chaim Volozhin and the Baal HaTanya, all unanimously agreed on the underlying principles of the concept of Tzimtzum and that contrary to widespread historical misunderstanding, there was no fundamental dispute about the philosophical principles of Judaism between the Hasidim and the Mitnagdim. Based on this Nefesh HaTzimtzum shows that both Nefesh HaChaim and Sefer HaTanya present the same methodology for serving God which is rooted in their identical understanding of the concept of Tzimtzum. Nefesh HaTzimtzum is published in two volumes which are sold separately. This volume contains the complete Hebrew text of Nefesh HaChaim which is brought to life by an illuminating translation and incisive commentary. It additionally provides extensive translated source material necessary to properly understand the basic text. The text is further complemented by an informative introduction which includes a historical overview.Trade ReviewWe owe Avinoam Fraenkel an immense debt of gratitude for a monumental labour of scholarship. Truly this is a work by which, at every level, we are enriched. Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, former Chief Rabbi, the United Hebrew Congregations of the CommonwealthMany will now begin to study this holy book [ Nefesh HaChaim ]. Rabbi Herschel Schachter, head of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, Yeshiva UniversityNefesh HaTzimtzum is a monumental work which truly explains the teachings and worldviews of Rabbi Chaim Volozhim . . . .

Rabbi Moshe Schatz, Kabbalist and author, Sparks of the Hidden Light"Many will now begin to properly study this holy book [ Nefesh HaChaim ]." Rabbi Herschel Schachter, head of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, Yeshiva University" Nefesh Hatzimtzum is simply outstanding. It is a crisp and clear presentation of what has essentially been a closed book . . . . There are few sefarim available today in the English language that offer a thorough education in such an important and lesser known area of Torah. This two volume set is a must have for anyone who values high quality English Torah works . . . . Fraenkel has made an historic contribution to the Jewish people." Rabbi Ari Enkin, torahbookreviews.blogspot.co.il"Avinoam Fraenkel's research, translation, and commentary are essential components to making this classic of Mitnaged (non-Hasidic) Ashkenazi Orthodoxy accessible to the English reading audience." Zev Garber, American Reference Books Annual"Fraenkel's attempt to harmonize the apparently conflicting views on the tzimtzum is highly valuable. In the first place, Fraenkel's claim is well argued and meticulously grounded in the sources, and thus deserves serious consideration. Second, Fraenkel's reading goes against the main trend of interpretation in both the academic world of Kabbalah studies and that of Chabad historiography, which follows the last Lubavitcher Rebbe in stressing the opposition between Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi and Rabbi Chaim on tzimtzum. It is a work of both real piety and ingenious scholarship." Yitzhak Y. Melamed, https://jewishreviewofbooks.com

Springer Verlag, Singapore History of the Development of Chinese Chan
Book SynopsisThe book aims to describe the history of Chan (Japanese Zen) School thought from the standpoint of social history. Chan, a school of East Asian Buddhism, was influential on all levels of societies in the region because of its intellectual and aesthetic appeal. In China, Chan infiltrated all levels of society, mainly because it engaged with society and formed the mainstream of Buddhism from the tenth or eleventh centuries through to the twentieth century. This book, taking a critical stance, examines the entire history of Chan thought and practice from the viewpoint of a modern Chinese scholar, not a practitioner, but an intellectual historian who places ideological developments in social contexts. The author suggests that core elements of Chan have their origins in Daoist philosophers, especially Zhuangzi, and not in Indian Buddhist concepts. Covering the period from the sixth century into the twentieth century, it deals with Chan interactions with neo-Confucianism, Quanzhen Daoism, and Gongyang new text philology, as well as with literature and scholarship, its fusion with Pure Land Buddhism, and its syncretic tendencies. Chan’s exchanges with emperors from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasty, as well as the motives of some loyalists of the Ming Dynasty for joining Chan after the fall of the Ming, are described. The book concludes with an examination of the views of Chan of Hu Shi, D.T. Suzuki, and the scholar-monk Yinshun.Table of ContentsPreface. Forward.

Book SynopsisIn El anticristo, Friedrich Niezsche presents his sharpest critique of Judeo-Christian morality. Under attack are compassion, weakness, and the beliefs that came to constitute Western society after the death of Christ, as Niezsche calls for a return to the values of aristocracy—power, force, and the search for truth beyond superstition. Polemical and a little mad, this book of Nietzsche's opened up new paths of thought, some of which have yet to be explored.

Muhammad Bin Hamad Al Thani Center for Muslim Contribution to Civilization, had so far been publishing translations of classical works of the Islamic civilization. Owing the expansion of their work's scope, they have now included works which might not be termed classical in the general sense of the word, but which are certainly imbued with that sense of classicism. Ibn Ashur's Al-Tahrir wa Al-Tanwir is one such work in their estimation, and merited translation into English and publication owing to its comprehensive nature and significance. Qur'anic studies has long since become an important research area among the Islamists of the West and the modernists if the Muslim world, in addition to its permanently paramount status in the eyes of Muslim scholars.
