• Sommario/riassunto: By "literary criticism" we usually mean a self-conscious act involving the technical and aesthetic appraisal, by individuals, of autonomous works of art. Aristotle and Plato come to mind. The word "social" does not. Yet, as this book shows, it should--if, that is, we wish to understand where literary criticism as we think of it today came from. Andrew Ford offers a new understanding of the development of criticism, demonstrating that its roots stretch back long before the sophists to public commentary on the performance of songs and poems in the preliterary era of ancient Greece. He pinpoints when and how, later in ; the Greek tradition than is usually assumed, poetry was studied as a discipline with its own principles and methods. The Origins of Criticism complements the usual, history-of-ideas approach to the topic precisely by treating criticism as a social as well as a theoretical activity. With unprecedented and penetrating detail, Ford considers varying scholarly interpretations of the key texts discussed. Examining Greek discussions of poetry from the late sixth century B.C. through the rise of poetics in the late fourth, he asks when we first can recognize anything like the modern notions of literature as imaginative writing and of literary criticism as a special knowledge of such writing. Serving as a monumental preface to Aristotle's Poetics, this book allows readers to discern the emergence, within the manifold activities that might be called criticism, of the historically specific discourse on poetry that has shaped subsequent Western approaches to literature.

• Sommario/riassunto: Die Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes sind zum großen Teil Vorträge, die auf der Internationalen Fachtagung anlässlich des 100. Geburtstags ; Raimon Panikkars (1918-2010) am Zentrum Theologie Interkulturell und Studium der Religionen der Universität Salzburg gehalten wurden. Sie schauen nicht nur von theologischen, philosophischen, religionswissenschaftlichen und spirituellen Gesichtspunkten auf das Leben und Denken dieses großen Pioniers des interreligiösen Dialogs, der schon durch seine Herkunft in zwei Kulturen und Religionen (Europa und Asien, Christentum und Hinduismus) verwurzelt war, sondern auch von einem biographisch-persönlichen Gesichtspunkt aus und fragen nach der Relevanz und Inspirationskraft seines Lebens und Werks für die heutige Zeit.; The essays of this volume are mainly lectures given at the international conference held at the Center for Intercultural Theology and the Study of Religion at the University of Salzburg on the occasion of Raimon Panikkars 100th birthday. They look at the life and thought of this outstanding pioneer of interreligious dialogue - already by descendancy rooted in two cultures and religions (Europe and Asia, Christianity and Hinduism) - not only from theological, philosophical, religious studies and spiritual perspectives, but also from a biographical-personal view and investigate into the relevance and inspiration of his life and works for today.
