Seneca’s developed metaphors draw on what is known to describe the unknown. They put hard ethical in highly accessible, and often quite entertaining, terms. The present book provides a functional description of Seneca’s dialectical relation between metaphorical language and philosophy. It shows how Stoic philosophy finds a new means of expression in Seneca’s highly elaborated rhetorical discourse, and how this relates to the social and cultural demands of Neronian culture. Metaphors are purposely utilized to work "collectively" rather than by category or type and that, therefore, the analysis of what metaphors do when Seneca chooses to combine them in clusters, demonstrates the existence of a "metanarrative of rhetoric". This approach is fundamentally innovative and has the advantage of gauging the functioning of Senecan style as a whole, rather than focusing on single features of its rhetorical functioning. The main target is to show how philosophical preaching materially contributes to the healing of human soul because it shapes the individual’s cognitive faculty in a way that is physical and not simply figurative. The stylus and the scalpel blend in their functions. This kind of therapy is not just the simulacrum of a more "real" one, it is in itself medical in nature.
Описание: This is the first new critical edition of Seneca`s De Beneficiis in almost 100 years. Robert A. Kaster provides a fresh examination of the extant archetype and extensive critical notes.

Описание: In 2014, Damien Hirst (born 1965) unveiled a new series of "paintings" composed of vast numbers of surgical instruments, which combine to form bird's-eye views of cities from around the world. With these Black Scalpel Cityscapes, Hirst investigates subjects pertaining to the sometimes disquieting realities of modern life--surveillance, urbanization, globalization and the virtual nature of conflict--as well as those relating to the human condition in general, such as our inability to arrest physical decay. Buildings, rivers and roads are rendered as scalpels, razor blades, hooks and safety pins. Described by the artist as "portraits of living cities," the full series is illustrated in this volume and accompanied by detail illustrations. Also included is an essay by Jerry Brotton, author of A History of the World in Twelve Maps, and a short story by novelist and arts writer Michael Bracewell.

Описание: Edward Hand of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, will long be remembered as a fervent patriot and as a distinguished, heroic, high-level officer of the American Revolution, whose contribution to the birth of the country was immense. He will also be remembered as a prominent citizen of the city of Lancaster and as a very popular and highly celebrated physician, who pioneered in the quarantine hospital and in the smallpox inoculation. His name refers all to both the United States Congress and to the Pennsylvania State Assembly. Many will revere him as a Pennsylvania farmer, devoted to the health of the soil. His concern for others and his devotion to his immediate family and to his larger family is most impressive. Chapters include: "The New World," "The Gathering Storm," "Cambridge and Boston," "New York City," "The New Jersey Campaign," "Fort Pitt," "Wyoming," "The Sullivan Expedition," "Yorktown," "Newburgh and New Windsor," "Lancaster," "Rock Ford," and an "Afterword." A chronology, numerous illustrations, two appendices ("The Hanging of John Andr " and "The Edward Hand Plum") and an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.

Описание:
A pharmaceutical company promises you hope and happiness in a pill. Would you take it if it cost your relationship with God?
Dr. Nicklaus Hart returns from responding to a massive earthquake that rocked the Middle East, allowing an ISIS terror cell to enter the ancient area of Mesopotamia. Captured, tortured and blinded by the hands of the radical terrorists, Nick arrives home a broken man. He has lost everything he holds dear--his sight, independence, profession and most of all, hope. But at the bottom of the pit, God sends him a lifeline and restores his physical and spiritual vision.
Faced with reinventing himself, a pharmaceutical company in Singapore offers Nick a position on the dark side of medicine. The drug company's slogan, Better Living Through Science, is actuated as it develops medications that manipulate the brain chemicals, but at a significant cost to the patient. Nick exposes the dangers of the drug in the jungles of Borneo amongst orangutans and the original headhunters--the ancient Iban tribe. Nick continues to dream, hope against hope--even when the outlook doesn't warrant it--not looking for it in the lesser comforts of life or a medicine bottle, but by abiding in the truth, where he finds the greatest hope of all...love.
The Rusted Scalpel is the third book in a series of skillfully crafted medical thrillers. If you like fast-paced adventure, international settings, sizzling medical suspense, then you'll love this heart-pounding thriller by Timothy Browne.
