Lipsius's heritage.If Justus Lipsius’s Politica of 1589 and its importance to the history of political thought needs no introduction, Lipsius's Monita et exempla politica (1605), conceived as a sequel to the Politica , has been overlooked time and again despite the fact that it is a unique key to understand the precise character of Lipsius's political thought. For, is his widely read political dialogue a Neostoic discourse or is it Tacitean, Machiavellian, or even anti-Machiavellian in nature? Did the work play such a pivotal role in the genesis of the modern, centrally governed nation state, as some scholars tend to believe? This book collects essays by scholars from different disciplines and backgrounds. All of them endeavour to solve this apparent deadlock in scholarly research on Lipsius’s political thought. All of them offer new and fascinating insights in the genesis and developments of the nature and impact of political discourses in Early Modern Europe.Brill's studies in intellectual history ;v. 193.Political scienceEuropeHistoryPolitical scienceEuropeHistorySourcesPolitical scienceHistory.Political scienceHistory320.092De Bom Erik1549370MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789432003321Un)masking the realities of power3807346UNINA05222nam 2200649Ia 450 991014472030332120250507220333.01-281-76453-197866117645313-527-61867-83-527-61868-6(CKB)1000000000377351(EBL)481745(OCoLC)262841216(SSID)ssj0000157269(PQKBManifestationID)11158883(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000157269(PQKBWorkID)10131797(PQKB)11473022(MiAaPQ)EBC481745(EXLCZ)99100000000037735120040807d2004 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe formation of stars Steven W.

The reader is guided through the subject in a logically compelling manner. Starting from a general description of stars and interstellar clouds, the authors delineate the earliest phases of stellar evolution. They discuss formation activity not only in the Milky Way, but also in other galaxies, both now and in the remote past. Theory and observation are thoroughly integrated, with the aid of numerous figures and images. In summary, this volume is an invaluable resource, both as a text fStarsFormationStarsEvolutionStarsFormation.StarsEvolution.520523.8/8523.88Stahler Steven William521911Palla F(Francesco)521912MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910144720303321Formation of stars835310UNINA
