‎Summary Is it possible for nihilism and an ontology of personhood as will to power to be incubated in the womb of Christian Mysticism? Is it possible that the modern ontology of power, which constitutes the core of the Greek-Western metaphysics, has a theological grounding? Has Nietszche reversed Plato or, more likely, Augustine and Origen, re-fashioning in a secular framework the very essence of their ontology? Do we have any alternative Patristic anthropological sources of the Greek-Western Self, beyond what has been traditionally called "Spirituality" or "Mysticism"? Patristic theology seems to ultimately provide us with a different understanding of selfhood, beyond any Ancient or modern, Platonic or not, Transcendentalism. This book strives to decipher, retrieve, and re-embody the underlying mature Patristic concept of selfhood, beyond the dichotomies of mind and body, essence and existence, transcendence and immanence, inner and outer, conscious and unconscious, person and nature, freedom and necessity: the Analogical Identity of this Self needs to be explored.

‎Musical Rhetoric Beyond Figures‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 414, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:14 b/w, 118 musical examples, Languages: English, Spanish. ISBN 9782503624723.‎

‎Summary Musical Rhetoric Beyond Figures offers a fresh exploration of musical rhetoric, moving beyond traditional catalogues of rhetorical figures to rediscover music as a living discourse rooted in historical and contemporary practice. This groundbreaking volume challenges conventional musicological approaches by emphasising music as a form of expressive speech, as experienced and interpreted by performers. Bringing together sixteen diverse chapters from leading scholars and practitioners, the book spans eras from the eighteenth century to the present, covering styles from Baroque to contemporary music. It reveals how rhetorical thought underpins musical interpretation, performance, and analysis, highlighting the dialogue between intuition and theory. Readers will find rich insights into how musical phrasing, gesture, and timing evoke rhetorical expression, transforming the way we understand and perform music. Musical Rhetoric Beyond Figures bridges the gap between scholarly reflection and practical performance, offering a range of perspectives on the interplay of rhetoric, memory, and dramaturgy in music. Carefully curated thematic sections explore historical contexts, performance practice, and rhetorical analysis, while addressing modern voices and contemporary compositions. This volume is essential for musicians, musicologists, and anyone passionate about the deeper communicative power of music. It opens new pathways to understanding music not merely as sound, but as a dynamic form of discourse that continues to shape artistic expression and audience experience in profound ways.
