Free Download Ineke Loots, "Johannes Hoornbeeck 1617-1666, On the Conversion of Indians and Heathens: An Annotated Translation of De Conversione Ind"
English | ISBN: 9004255443 | 2018 | 453 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Exploration, trade and conquest expanded and upset traditional worldviews of early modern Europeans. Christians saw themselves confronted with a largely heathen world. In the wake of Iberian colonization, Jesuits successfully christianized heathen populations overseas. In his De conversione Indorum et gentilium, Johannes Hoornbeeck presents a systematic overview of every aspect of the missionary imperative from a Reformed Protestant perspective. The most attractive part of his book may be the global survey it offers of the various types of heathens, an early example of comparative religion. Of equal interest, however, is his critical approach to mission. Hoornbeeck rejects ecclesiastical hierarchy and top-down imposition of Christianity. In this he is perfectly orthodox, and at the same time startlingly original and a harbinger of modern missions. His practical recommendations offer a flexible framework for missionaries, to fit a wide variety of circumstances.

Free Download Johannes Kepler: Die Entdeckung der Weltharmonie
Deutsch | 2017 | ISBN: 3806234523 | 264 Seiten | PDF EPUB (True) | 23 MB
Der Astronom Johannes Kepler zählt zu den Begründern der modernen Naturwissenschaft. Er entdeckte die Gesetze der Planetenbewegung und trieb die Erforschung des Universums voran. Thomas Posch entwirft in dieser konkurrenzlos aktuellen Biographie ein umfassendes Porträt Keplers, der auch als Naturphilosoph, Mathematiker und Theologe wirkte. Sein Lebensweg entfaltet sich vor dem historischen Panorama einer Wendezeit, die der Dreißigjährige Krieg bis in die Grundfesten erschütterte. Tycho Brahe, Rudolf II., Wallenstein und Galilei waren Keplers Zeitgenossen. Der Mutter drohte der Scheiterhaufen wegen Hexerei. In Briefen gewährt Kepler berührende Einblicke in sein Innerstes. Der Rückgriff auf bisher kaum bekannte Dokumente garantiert die Lebendigkeit der Darstellung, die sich stets auf neuestem Wissensstand bewegt. Keplers Errungenschaften werden allgemein verständlich in das Lebensbild verwoben.

Johannes von Kries Principles of the Probability Calculus


Free Download Johannes von Kries: Principles of the Probability Calculus: A Logical Investigation
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031365054 | 481 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 5 MB
This book provides an English translation of the work Principles of the Probability Calculus published in 1886 by Johannes von Kries, which discusses the range theory of probability. It offers a novel account of the foundations of probability, an account which was familiar to Keynes, Kneale, Weber, Reichenbach, and von Mises. This account dispenses with the principle of indifference in probability, and it introduces the method of arbitrary functions. Confusions in the history of probability are pinpointed, and a novel theory is developed in which probability is neither entirely subjective nor objective. The book develops what is known as the range theory or Spielraum theory in detail, in a narrative way using few formulas. Von Kries applies range theory to Boltzmann’s theory of the statistical behaviour of gases, and to several applications in medical statistics. Many uses of probability are found wanting; very often they are found not to admit any expression of probability in numbers at all. The book will be of first interest to philosophers of science and historians interested in the foundations of probability. It is also of general interest to anyone who applies statistics everyday in such fields as econometrics, psychology, or medicine.
