Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The author argues that religious history is underestimated in its importance for World- and Global history.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Calling an epoch Middle Age already involves some sort of judgment. But Middle Ages represent a historic period, in which the identity was established, which was denied by the renaissance, modern world and which however is now being discovered again in its sense and beauty. It is a period in which a co-existence between faith and intellect, between ecclesiastical and profane culture was possible. It was a varied living space in which philosophy, mystique and practice could exist side by side. It is a world which is lost today and which we can get a hold of again only by intellectual appropriation. The text presents boundaries and concepts of the Middle Ages and its philosophical and theological thinking. It follows the selected characters of scholastic tradition from 5th to 13th century: Boethius, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, Johannes Scotus Eriugena, Anselm of Canterbury, Peter Abelard, Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. As an educator and researcher, I have tried to create awareness to pupils, teachers and families through seminars and workshops since 2012. I believe that Internet and social media are actually precious and useful. If individuals use digital environments consciously, they can even be counted as educational institutions. Unfortunately, most of the pupils, teachers and parents had great concerns regarding digital environments, which decreased after they obtained information about digital citizenship. So, I decided to write a book not only for teachers or parents who guided for safety at digital environments, but also for youths to understand digital citizenship. The book is written in the hope that it would be helpful for anyone who hold concerns about digital environments. Through penetration of technology and Internet to indivuduals' lives, consiousness about technology usage and integrating digital environments are become more peervasive more than ever. Digital citizenship not means only protect individuals from risks and harms but also it offer opportunities to individuals for benefit from digital environments.
