Anotaciones al tratamiento de los mitos en los Comentarios a la Ciudad de Dios de San Agustín de Juan Luis Vives

2017

En este articulo, se pretende describir de forma sintetica la manera en que Luis Vives comenta la rica variedad tematica de la Ciudad de Dios , muy particularmente sus anotaciones religiosas y mitologicas. San Agustin se vale en su Ciudad de Dios de cuantiosos mitos, con tal de apoyar y justificar su pensamiento de raigambre cristiana en una sociedad en profundo cambio. Por su parte, Luis Vives no tiene como objetivo intelectual introducirse en el pensamiento del doctor de Hipona, sino anotar el texto agustiniano. El presente trabajo tiene como principal objetivo, no solo tratar las anotaciones que Luis Vives efectua de los mitos empleados por San Agustin, sino tambien establecer una casuis…

How to Survive the Anthropocene: Adaptive Atheism and the Evolution of Homo deiparensis

2015

Published version of an article from the journal: Religions. Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/rel6020724 Why is it so easy to ignore the ecological and economic crises of the Anthropocene? This article unveils some of the religious biases whose covert operation facilitates the repression or rejection of warnings about the consequences of extreme climate change and excessive capitalist consumption. The evolved defaults that are most relevant for our purposes here have to do with mental credulity toward religious content (beliefs about supernatural agents) and with social congruity in religious contexts (behaviors shaped by supernatural rituals). Learning how to co…

The Source Value of Arabic Typikon-Manuscripts as Testimonials for the Byzantinization of the Melkites

2021

With the expansion of Islam, the patriarchates of Antioch, Jerusalem, and Alexandria were divided from the Byzantine Empire. The Orthodox Christians there still defined themselves as Byzantine Orthodox and began to adapt their liturgical customs by adopting Byzantine liturgical books. When Greek was not understood any longer, they began to translate and copy their liturgical books, thereby creating their own branch of tradition, which is marked by multilingualism, reception of their own Bible tradition as well as the exclusion of “neo-martyrs” from their calendar of saints.

Orthodoxy and Evangelicalism: An Overview of Their Relationship from the Perspective of Moral Values

2021

Orthodox–Evangelical relationships are dominated by proselytism (at least in Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union). This is understood as church conversion practiced through unfair means among people who are already Christians, belonging to so-called “historical churches.” However, beyond it, there is a real potential for cooperation using moral values as a starting point. As there is an increasing disagreement between the Orthodox and mainline Protestant on moral values, the Orthodox and Evangelicals might increase their cooperation as they witness traditional values of Christianity. This kind of cooperation might be partially contextual, but it is based on Biblicism, which both O…

Psychometric properties on a romantic love myths scale: The case of the myths, fallacies and erroneous beliefs about the ideal of romantic love scale

2021

Understanding the construct of romantic love is an important task in societies all around the world. However, instruments designed to assess this construct are scarce and most of them were developed more than a decade ago. De la Peña, Ramos, Luzón, and Recio (2011) proposed the Myths, Fallacies and Erroneous Beliefs about the Ideal of Romantic Love Scale. In this current study we provide the psychometric properties of this scale in a representative sample of adolescents. The analytic strategy included both Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. We achieved a best-factor structure using a unidimensional model of romantic beliefs which also had an adequate estimated rel…

Indological Studies about Vedic and Indian Myths, Anthropology, History of Religions, Philosophy

2019

Abstract. The cumulative occurrence of heavy precipitation and flood events during recent years in various Central European locations emphasises the urgent need to improve extreme rainfall observations and forecasts. Precipitation gauges based on a weighing system allow the recording of intense short-term precipitation events with a very high temporal resolution (down to 1 min). In this study, observational data that were collected during the period 2000 to 2016 for 126 stations of two corresponding measuring networks in the Central German state of Hesse were investigated for the first time to answer the following questions: (1) Are the recorded high-resolution precipitation data plausible …

Visiting the King of the World

2009

Apsilankymas pas Pasaulio karalių – tai tema, kuri bent paviršutiniškai supažindina su egzistuojančiais daugiau ar mažiau ezoteriniais pasakojimais, kartais net gana fantastiškais, kuriuose kalbama apie viršžmogiškosiomis galiomis apdovanotas būtybes, gyvenančias, atrodo, žemės gelmėse, Azijos žemių platybėse, Himalajų regione, Mongolijoje ar Tibete. „Pasaulio karalius“ – pavadinimas 1927 m. parašyto veikalo, kurio autorius René Guénonas – prancūzų ezoterikas ir mistikas, gimęs 1886 m. Blois, miręs 1951 m. Kaire. Iš literatūros kūrinių – ir kelionių aprašymų, ir fantastinių romanų – be Jules‘io „Kelionės į žemės centrą“ galima paminėti Ferdinando Ossendowskio knygą „Gyvuliai, žmonės ir diev…
