Incomprehensible Certainty presents a sustained reflection on the nature of images and the phenomenology of visual experience. Taking the "image" (eiko?n) as the essential medium of art and literature and as foundational for the intuitive ways in which we make contact with our "lifeworld," Thomas Pfau draws in equal measure on Platonic metaphysics and modern phenomenology to advance a series of interlocking claims. First, Pfau shows that, beginning with Plato's later dialogues, being and appearance came to be understood as ontologically distinct from (but no longer opposed to) one another. Second, in contrast to the idol that is typically gazed at and visually consumed as an object of desire, this study positions the image (eiko?n) as a medium whose intrinsic abundance and excess reveal to us its metaphysical function, namely, as the visible analogue of an invisible, numinous reality. Finally, the interpretations unfolded in this book (from Plato, Plotinus, Pseudo-Dionysius, John Damascene via Bernard of Clairvaux, Bonaventure, Julian of Norwich, and Nicholas of Cusa to modern writers and artists such as Goethe, Ruskin, Turner, Hopkins, Ce?zanne, and Rilke) affirm the essential complementarity of image and word, visual intuition and hermeneutic practice, in theology, philosophy, and literature. Like Pfau's previous book, Minding the Modern, Incomprehensible Certainty is a major work. With over fifty illustrations, the book will interest students and scholars of philosophy, theology, literature, and art history"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aImagery (Psychology)$xPhilosophy 606 $aVisual communication$xPhilosophy 606 $aIcons$xPhilosophy 615 0$aImagery (Psychology)$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aVisual communication$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aIcons$xPhilosophy. 676 $a110 700 $aPfau$b Thomas$f1960-$01538702 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795891703321 996 $aIncomprehensible certainty$93795796 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03617nam 22007215 450 001 9910484773403321 005 20200919161022.0 010 $a3-662-44622-7 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-662-44622-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000271808 035 $a(EBL)1966850 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001386754 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11883511 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001386754 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11394347 035 $a(PQKB)11515905 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-662-44622-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1966850 035 $a(PPN)183092309 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000271808 100 $a20141101d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aRule of Law in China $eA Comparative Approach /$fby Katrin Blasek 205 $a1st ed. 2015. 210 1$aBerlin, Heidelberg :$cSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :$cImprint: Springer,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (85 p.) 225 1 $aSpringerBriefs in Law,$x2192-855X 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a3-662-44621-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $a1. Introduction -- 2. Rule of Law in western civilization -- 3. Rule of Law in China -- 4. Selected Aspects of Rule of Law -- 5. Conclusion. 330 $aThis book analyzes in detail differing interpretations of the rule of law in Western legal systems and in the People?s Republic of China. As the rule of law is seen by many as a prerequisite for China?s future development, politicians, activists and entrepreneurs from China and from the West alike have long been calling for adherence to this principle, which is constitutive of Western democracies. All these groups use the same words, but do they truly share the same idea? In order to address this question, the book compares the ?Rule of Law with Chinese characteristics,? as propagated by Chinese leaders and in official Chinese publications, to different applications of the rule of law as it is understood in Western civilization. In particular, the author takes a closer look at the implementations of recognized core elements of the rule of law in representative Western countries, which include the separation of power, the supremacy of law, the protection of fundamental rights, and the independence of the justice system. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Law,$x2192-855X 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aMarkets 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002 606 $aEmerging Markets/Globalization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010 606 $aHuman Rights$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aMarkets. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law . 615 24$aEmerging Markets/Globalization. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 676 $a340 676 $a340.2 676 $a340.9 676 $a341.48 676 $a381 700 $aBlasek$b Katrin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0722054 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484773403321 996 $aRule of law in China$91411211 997 $aUNINA
