New Releases by Arnold J. Toynbee

Zwischen 1971 und 1974 erörterten der britische Historiker Arnold Toynbee und Daisaku Ikeda, spiritueller Führer der buddhistischen Bewegung Soka Gakkai, entscheidende Themen, die bis heute nichts von ihrer Aktualität verloren haben: Kriege und weltweite Konflikte, immer knapper werdende Ressourcen und dringend notwendiger Umweltschutz oder auch Fragen nach der eigenen gesellschaftlichen Stellung oder der Rolle von Religion.

The German Terror in Belgium by Arnold S. Toynbee is an ordered and carefully authenticated record of the treatment of the civil population in the countries overrun by the German armies during the first three months of the war; it is arranged so as to follow separately the tracks of the different German armies which traversed different sectors of French and Belgian territory and describes the invasion of Belgium up to the sack of Louvain. This edition is fully illustrated with a wealth of photos from the Great War in Belgium.

Poco antes de su muerte, Arnold Toynbee escribio el primer capitulo de este libro. 'Toda criatura humana viva sujeta a la muerte dice Toynbee se afana por conservar la vida... Algunas especies no humanas lloran, al igual que los seres humanos, por la perdida del companero... Pero de la fauna que habita la biosfera en torno del planeta Tierra, los seres humanos parecen ser los unicos que saben que han de morir.'Solo que, a diferencia del cuerpo fisico que al morir se desintegra para reintegrarse a la materia universal, la conciencia es invisible e impalpable.Que ocurre, pues, con la conciencia que ordena el vivir de un hombre? En una palabra: que ocurre con la personalidad? Este es el punto de partida de una indagacion apasionante. En este volumen se reunen respuestas al dilema de la vida despues de la muerte dadas desde perspectivas religiosas, antropologicas, cientificas, poeticas, en estudios sobre creencias de las sociedades primitivas de Cfrica, America, la India clasica, el Cercano Oriente, los pueblos islamicos y cristianos. La conclusion general es que la muerte no es el final. Un conjunto notable de escritores, filosofos, cientificos, ha procurado iluminar un ambito del que solo podemos tener experiencia cuando ya no podemos expresarla, pero del que poseemos intuiciones inapelables.En el deslumbrante capitulo final, Arthur KoestIer pasa revista a las hipotesis cientificas modernas, destaca la indole insustancial de elementos aparentemente concretos y elabora una teoria sobre la supervivencia que fascinara al lector mas esceptico.

Toynbee's analysis of the rise and fall of civilizations has been acknowledged as an achievement without parallel in modern scholarship. This abridgement preserves its method, atmosphere, texture, and for the most part, the author's very words.
