A profound synthesis of ancient politics, the Rule stands as a modest yet profoundly influential exemplar of the production of subjectivity. Within these volumes, Jodra makes the compelling argument that the communal practices prevalent along the Mediterranean during the Classical and Late-Ancient periods provide tangible historical evidence of a worldview where the self and the other are not separate entities, but rather mutually inclusive forces. The Augustinian Rule represents the culmination of this transformative process, marking the dawn of a new era: the paradigm of the monastic self as the central protagonist of the emerging medieval worldview.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this inaugural volume, Jodra delves into the origins of one of the most influential and pervasive common experiments—Augustine's Rule—and uncovers its Mediterranean backdrop. With a keen eye toward unraveling the enigma of socialism, he endeavors to provide a definitive solution. In the subsequent volume, Jodra will present his comprehensive solution in full, offering a contemporary interpretation of Augustinian communitarianism for our modern times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy restoring the unity of the Hellenistic and Judaic world as envisioned by the early Christians, these volumes definitively demonstrate that the self and the other are indispensable components in the construction of our world. This transformative exploration of Western subjectivity offers a profound and thought-provoking journey, shedding light on the intricate interplay between individual and collective identities and paving the way for a renewed understanding of our shared humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 270g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 138 x 214 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350303409\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professor Guillermo M.Jodra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094244618490,"sku":"9781350303409","price":23.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1668775819818_book.jpg?v=1668789318","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/on-hellenism-judaism-individualism-and-early-christian-theories-of-the-subject-9781350303409","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
