When reading the Psalter, the sequencing of individual psalms is often overlooked or taken for granted, and it is easy to assume that the psalms' placement results purely from happenstance. The present volume, however, assumes that strategic approaches to juxtaposition, which editors and arrangers apply elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible, were similarly adopted in the arrangement of the Psalter. Furthermore, the Intertextual Commentary illuminates the vast array of biblical texts employed by th...

A cursory glance through the Psalter reveals numerous allusions to events in Israel's literary history. While a range of literary and oral sources were obviously available to psalmists, the relationships between these sources and the psalmists' final work are more obscure. Concerning these relationships, numerous questions remain unanswered: - How strictly did the psalmists replicate their sources? - What kinds of alterations did they make (additions, omissions, etc.)? - Did they alter the...

It shows how individual creativity and entrepreneurship a...

In this challenging book, the authors demonstrate that economists tend to misunderstand capital. Frank Knight was an exception, as he argued that because all resources are more or less durable and have uncertain future uses they can consequently be classed as capital. Thus, capital rather than labor is the real source of creativity, innovation, and accumulation. But capital is also a phenomenon in time and in space. Offering a new and path-breaking theory, they show how durable capital wit...

What is the relation between meaning and the feeling of being alive?In this short philosophical work, Emanuel B. David explores the reciprocity between meaning and vitality in lived experience. We do not merely persist biologically. We inhabit a world in which things matter, call, wound, console, obligate, and awaken. Yet a person may continue to exist while feeling inwardly deadened, just as a single encounter with meaning can make life vivid again.Written...

These were the questions pursued for a year by the newspaper's Insight team, overseen by legendary editor Harold Evans. Befor...

Mes braves gens, Noël et son beau manteau blanc s'apprêtent à festoyer gaiement.Entendez-vous le cri d'effroi des enfants ?Le son des anguilles glissant au gré du vent ?Les crèches qui s'animent pour effrayer petits et grands ?Non...Vous n'êtes pas prêts pour ce massacre tordant.

What must reality be like for meaning to be experienced at all?In this philosophical work, Emanuel B. David argues that meaning is not reducible to signal, syntax, behavior, or bodily process. We do not merely register the world. We understand it. A word can bind, a promise can oblige, a truth can wound, and an act can appear as just or unjust. Such experiences, he contends, reveal more than complex processing. They reveal a subject for whom significance is present...
