Mystical and Orthodox Traditions ; Glossary -- Bibliography -- Index."Mysticism is one of the most enduring and fascinating aspects of religious life, and one of the most difficult to unpick. It has, over the centuries, inspired many of the leading figures in different faiths to seek a sense of union with God or with the spiritual forces in the universe, and is increasingly part of the spiritual mainstream. Designed for students grappling with this complicated area, this book enables readers to understand the nature of mysticism, and to examine in detail the traditional methods used by mystics in seeking an intimate understanding of the spiritual world. Including a detailed survey of mystical trends within all the main world religions, and case studies of the lives of important mystics, Mysticism: A Guide for the Perplexed also examines the nature of the mystical lifestyle, and the extent to which ordinary people can develop a sense of personal mysticism."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Guides for the perplexed.MysticismMysticismMysticism.204/.22Oliver Paul37050UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910974872503321Mysticism4336330UNINA05661nam 2200793 a 450 991095508060332120240514061704.09786613360038978128336003612833600399789027284525902728452010.1075/la.180(CKB)2550000000070812(EBL)806564(OCoLC)763159093(SSID)ssj0000550988(PQKBManifestationID)12233719(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000550988(PQKBWorkID)10524949(PQKB)10574323(Au-PeEL)EBL806564(CaPaEBR)ebr10517174(CaONFJC)MIL336003(MiAaPQ)EBC806564(DE-B1597)721179(DE-B1597)9789027284525(EXLCZ)99255000000007081220110629d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBidirectional optimality theory /edited by Anton Benz, Jason Mattausch1st ed.Amsterdam ;Philadelphia John Benjamins Pub.

Evolving subject salience5.1 IntroductionBidirectional Optimality Theory (BiOT) emerged at the turn of the millennium as a fusion of Radical Pragmatics and Optimality Theoretic Semantics. It stirred a wealth of new research in the pragmatics-semantics interface and heavily influenced e.g. the development of evolutionary and game theoretic approaches. Optimality Theory holds that linguistic output can be understood as the optimized products of ranked constraints. At the centre of BiOT is the insight that this optimisation has to take place both in production and interpretation, and that the production-interpretation cycle has tLinguistik aktuell ;Bd. 180.Optimality theory (Linguistics)Linguistic changePragmaticsSemanticsOptimality theory (Linguistics)Linguistic change.Pragmatics.Semantics.401/.4Benz Anton1965-1799647Mattausch Jason1800696MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955080603321Bidirectional optimality theory4345617UNINA
