This anthology brings together thousands of years of philosophical endeavour and brilliant prose. 330 $bPhilosophy is a dangerous profession, risking censorship, prison, even death. And no wonder: philosophers have questioned traditional pieties and threatened the established political order. Some claimed to know what was thought unknowable; others doubted what was believed to be certain. Some attacked religion in the name of science; others attacked science in the name of mystical poetry; some served tyrants; others were radical revolutionaries. This historically based collection of philosophers' reflections--the letters, journals, prefaces that reveal their hopes and hesitations, their triumphs and struggles, their deepest doubts and convictions--allow us to witness philosophical thought-in-process. It sheds light on the many--and conflicting--aims of philosophy: to express skepticism or overcome it, to support theology or attack it, to develop an ethical system or reduce it to practical politics. As their audiences differed, philosophers experimented with distinctive rhetorical strategies, writing dialogues, meditations, treatises, aphorisms. Ranging from Plato to Hannah Arendt, with contributions from 44 philosophers (Augustine, Maimonides, AlGhazali, Descartes, Pascal, Leibniz, Voltaire, Rousseau, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein, among others) this remarkable collection documents philosophers' claim that they change as well as understand the world. In her introductory essay, "Witnessing Philosophers," Amelie Rorty locates philosophers' reflections in the larger context of the many facets of their other activities and commitments. 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 676 $a109.2 702 $aRorty$b Ame?lie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451573103321 996 $aThe many faces of philosophy$92447790 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02073nam 2200385 450 001 9910727289903321 005 20240215192502.0 010 $a1-83969-119-0 035 $a(CKB)5680000000309773 035 $a(NjHacI)995680000000309773 035 $a(EXLCZ)995680000000309773 100 $a20240215d2023 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aGinger - Cultivation and Use /$fedited by Prashant Kaushik 210 1$aLondon :$cIntechOpen,$d2023. 215 $a1 online resource (166 pages) 311 $a1-83969-118-2 327 $a1.

The Therapeutic and Phytopharmacological Potential of Ginger (Zingiber officinale). 330 $aZingiber officinale, often referred to as ginger, is the scientific name for the blooming plant-producing underground rhizome. The rhizome may be used both in the kitchen and in traditional forms of healing. It is a herbaceous perennial that may survive for many years and generates annual pseudostems (false stems made of the coiled bases of leaves) that reach heights of around one meter, and bare, thin leaf blades. Antioxidants and bioactive compounds are present in ginger. This book explores recent developments in ginger production and biochemical research against the background of current and impending environmental change. 606 $aHorticultural crops 606 $aHorticulture$vBibliography 615 0$aHorticultural crops. 615 0$aHorticulture 676 $a635 702 $aKaushik$b Prashant 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910727289903321 996 $aGinger - Cultivation and Use$93381216 997 $aUNINA
