Gran Bretagna, Francia e il grande gioco del Medio Oriente: Nel 1916, nel pieno della prima guerra mondiale, due uomini si accordarono in segreto per spartirsi il Medio Oriente. Il britannico sir Mark Sykes e il francese Franà§ois Georges-Picot tracciarono sulla sabbia una linea diagonale che andava dal Mediterraneo alla frontiera persiana, ridefinendo la mappa di quell'Impero ottomano destinato di lì a poco a crollare e a lasciare il posto ai «mandati» britannici su Palestina, Transgiordania, Iraq, e a quelli francesi su Libano e Siria. I successivi trent'anni hanno visto quell'area scenario di una sordida storia di violenza e manovre politiche occulte, nobili proclami e ipocrite cupidigie, i cui protagonisti - tra aspirazioni sioniste e rivendicazioni arabe, Olocausto e politica dell'appeasement - sono stati uomini di Stato, negoziatori, spie e soldati, tra cui spiccano i nomi di T.E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill e Charles de Gaulle. Utilizzando documenti recentemente declassificati provenienti dagli archivi britannici e francesi, James Barr offre in queste pagine la ricostruzione più completa e approfondita di come é stato disegnato il moderno Medio Oriente e di come la secolare rivalità tra inglesi e francesi, pur formalmente alleati, abbia alimentato l'attuale conflitto arabo-israeliano e tutta l'odierna instabilità geopolitica. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

L'avvento dell'intelligenza artificiale sembra dominare l'inizio del terzo millennio. Creare sistemi artificiali dotati di un livello intellettivo superiore a quello umano é il Santo Graal delle grandi corporazioni e delle agenzie governative internazionali. C'é addirittura chi prevede ottimisticamente che entro il 2045 l'intelligenza artificiale non solo eguaglierà , ma supererà quella umana, dando inizio a una nuova età dell'oro nella storia dell'uomo. Ma se una volta raggiunte capacità intellettive superiori, i sistemi artificiali fossero in grado di sopravvivere senza l'aiuto dell'uomo? Per la prima volta l'uomo si troverebbe a competere con un rivale più astuto, più potente e più imprevedibile di quanto avesse immaginato. Prima che si scateni un'esplosione di intelligenza improvvisa e incontrollabile, occorre sviluppare una scienza che ci aiuti a comprendere sistemi complessi che al momento sono al di là della nostra portata. à questo l'obiettivo del saggio: far sapere anche ai profani che sviluppare un'entità superiore, per noi ancora parzialmente oscura, senza disporre di una coscienziosa e infallibile tecnica di programmazione, equivale a fare il passo più lungo della gamba. Il rischio é âdare vita' a una macchina aliena che ci porterà alla rovina. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Biblical Faith and Natural Theology

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 60,00 | | Descrizione | Do people know about God just by being human beings? Or do they need special divine assistance, through the Bible and the church? `Natural Theology' is the idea that human beings `by nature', that is just through being human, know something of God; or that perhaps they gain such knowledge from observing the world we live in. Its opposite is `revealed theology', or the knowledge of God communicated only through special channels - through Jesus Christ, through the Bible, through the church. Natural theology was long accepted as a basic ingredient in all theology, but in the twentieth century it was rejected by important theologians, especially Karl Barth. His views denied all natural theology and placed greater emphasis on the Bible. But what if the Bible
itself uses, depends on, and supports natural theology? In this book, Professor Barr pursues these questions within the Bible itself and within the history of ideas, earlier and more recent; and he looks at their implications for religion and theology in the future.Readership: Scholars and students of Biblical studies and theology. | Aggiungi al Carrello |
