It seeks to understand his contribution against the developments within the preceding Greek and Arabic intellectual milieus, and to appreciate his philosophy as such by emphasising his independence as a critical and systematic thinker. Exploring Avicenna's method of "teaching and learning," it investigates the implications of his account of the natural body as a three-dimensionally extended composite of matter and form, and examines his views on nature as a principle of motion and his analysis of its relation to soul. Moreover, it demonstrates how Avicenna defends the Aristotelian conception of place against the strident criticism of his predecessors, among other things, by disproving the existence of void and space. Finally, it sheds new light on Avicenna's account of the essence and the existence of time. For the first time taking into account the entire range of Avicenna's major writings, this study fills a gap in our understanding both of the history of natural philosophy in general and of the philosophy of Avicenna in particular. 606 $aIslamic philosophy 610 $aArabic philosophy. 610 $aAristotle. 610 $aAvicenna. 610 $anatural philosophy. 615 0$aIslamic philosophy. 676 $a181.5 700 $aLammer$b Andreas$01581073 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796888603321 996 $aThe elements of Avicenna's physics$93862390 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06112oam 22006612 450 001 9910772100703321 005 20240509085816.0 010 $a9780429060595 010 $a0429060599 010 $a9780429594076 010 $a0429594070 010 $a9780429595363 010 $a0429595360 035 $a(CKB)4100000009151513 035 $a(OAPEN)1007822 035 $a(OCoLC)1099542000 035 $a(OCoLC-P)1099542000 035 $a(FlBoTFG)9780429060595 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5884085 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/37435 035 $a(ScCtBLL)5cab40e5-130a-4c42-9d9b-fc7bdac87934 035 $a(oapen)doab27868 035 $a(oapen)doab37435 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000009151513 100 $a20190423d2020 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cn$2rdamedia 183 $anc$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe global politics of jazz in the twentieth century $ecultural diplomacy and "American music" /$fYoshiomi Saito 205 $a1st ed. 210 $cTaylor & Francis$d2020 210 1$aAbingdon, Oxon ;$aNew York, NY :$cRoutledge,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (10) 225 0 $aRoutledge advances in international relations and global politics ;$v144 311 08$aOnline version: Saito?, Yoshiomi, 1976- author.

Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington and other well-known jazz musicians were sentaround the world-including to an array of Communist countries - as "jazz ambassadors" in order to mitigate the negative image associated with domestic racial problems. While many non-Americans embraced the Americanism behind this jazz diplomacy without question, others criticized American domestic and foreign policies while still appreciating jazz - thus jazz, despite its popularity, also became a medium for expressing anti-Americanism. This book examines the development of jazz outside America, including across diverse historical periods and geographies - shedding light on the effectiveness of jazz as an instrument of state power within a global political context. Saito examines jazz across a wide range of regions, including America, Europe, Japan and Communist countries. His research also draws heavily upon a variety of sources, primary as well as secondary, which are accessible in these diverse countries: all had their unique and culturally specific domestic jazz scenes, but also interacted with each other in an interesting dimension of early globalization. This comparative analysis on the range of unique jazz scenes and cultures offers a detailed understanding as to how jazz has been interpreted in various ways, according to the changing contexts of politics and society around it, often providing a basis for criticizing America itself. Furthering our appreciation of the organic relationship between jazz and global politics, Saito reconsiders the uniqueness of jazz as an exclusively "American music." This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, the history of popular music, and global politics. 410 $aRoutledge Advances in International Relations and Global Politics 517 1 $aGlobal politics of jazz in the twentieth century :$ecultural diplomacy and "American music" 517 3 $aIntroduction 606 $aRegional studies$2bicssc 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y20th century 610 $aArts 610 $ahumanities 610 $apolitics 610 $ainternational relations 615 7$aRegional studies 676 $a306.4/8425 700 $aSaito?$b Yoshiomi$f1976-$01461514 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910772100703321 996 $aThe global politics of jazz in the twentieth century$93669460 997 $aUNINA
