{"product_id":"divination-in-the-ancient-world-veit-rosenberger-9783515106290","title":"Divination in the Ancient World: Religious Options and the Individual","description":"The search for knowledge of the future and for divine help is found in all ancient Mediterranean cultures. The key question of this book is: What are the interdependences between divination and processes of individualization or de-individualization in the ancient world? Individualization is understood as a process of change on the societal level. In contrast, individuation is a development on the personal level. Discussions about the definition of these terms are continuing. Divination may always have some effects on processes of individuation and individualization. Divination may be a means - and this list does not claim to be exhaustive - of legitimising decisions, to decide competition or to achieve distinctiveness. This book covers aspects from archaic Greece to the High Empire. Not all articles argue along the same lines: nothing highlights better the lively debate and the many open questions in the field of ancient divination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veit Rosenberger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3515106294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783515106290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.40d","brand":"Veit Rosenberger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066384920831,"sku":"9783515106290","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1973e6a2-ffb4-4c32-9618-017dd68d031d.jpg?v=1768678191","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/divination-in-the-ancient-world-veit-rosenberger-9783515106290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
