Rather, they are an element of civil society, the strands of the fabric of organized life in countries, and crucial to the prospect of political democracy. Civil society is a very recent phenomenon in East African nations, where authoritarian regimes have prevailed and human rights watchdogs have had a critical role to play. While the state remains one of the major challenges to human rights efforts in the countries of the region, other problems that are internal to the human rights movement are also of a serious nature, and they are many: What are the social bases of the human rights enterprise in transitional societies? What mandate can human rights NGOs claim, and in whose name do they operate? Human Rights NGO's in East Africa critically explores the anatomy of the human rights movement in the East African region, examining its origins, challenges, and emergent themes in the context of political transitions. In particular, the book seeks to understand the political and normative challenges that face this young but vibrant civil society in the vortex of globalization. The book brings together the most celebrated human rights thinkers in East Africa, enriched by contributions from their colleagues in South Africa and the United States. To date, very little has been written about the struggles and accomplishments of civil society in the nations of East Africa. This book will fill that gap and prove to be an invaluable tool for understanding and teaching about human rights in this complex and vital part of the world. 606 $aDemocracy$zAfrica, Eastern 606 $aCivil society$zAfrica, Eastern 606 $aNon-governmental organizations$zAfrica, Eastern 606 $aDemocratization$zAfrica, Eastern 606 $aHuman rights$zAfrica, Eastern 607 $aAfrica, Eastern$xPolitics and government$y1960- 610 $a. 610 $aAfrican Studies. 610 $aAsian Studies. 610 $aHuman Rights. 610 $aLaw. 610 $aMiddle Eastern Studies. 610 $aPolitical Science. 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aCivil society 615 0$aNon-governmental organizations 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a323.06/0676 702 $aMutua$b Makau 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787541603321 996 $aHuman Rights NGO's in East Africa$93809399 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01694cam2 2200337 450 001 996671481503316 005 20250919115203.0 010 $a978-88-93464-83-3 100 $a20250820d2021----km y0itay5003 ba 101 2 $aita$alat 102 $aIT 105 $ay 00 y 200 1 $a<>anima$fTertulliano$ga cura di Martino Menghi$gpresentazione di Mario Vegetti 210 $aMilano$cLa vita felice$d2021 215 $a388 p.$d17 cm 225 2 $aSaturnalia$v58 300 $aTesto originale a fronte 330 $aIl problema dell?anima è cruciale per il primo cristianesimo. Vi è, da un lato, la nuova autorità delle Sacre Scritture; dall?altro, quel ricco patrimonio filosofico pagano con cui un apologeta non può fare a meno di confrontarsi. Tertulliano ci offre in quest?opera una visione dell?anima che non finisce di sorprenderci. Essa, apprendiamo, è corporea ma immortale; di più, è generata insieme con il corpo al momento del concepimento; infine, se il suo distacco dal corpo avviene in seguito al martirio, il suo accesso in Paradiso è immediato. Filosofia, medicina, Sacre Scritture sono tutte chiamate in causa a sostegno di queste tesi che presto sarebbero state considerate eretiche.
