know yourself (Arabic Book)

"Know yourself - a fundamental concept in logic and knowledge. It delves into the roots of self-understanding - who we are and how we should act. This phrase, 'know yourself,' holds historical significance in ancient Greek culture, the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance era. Originally engraved at the entrance of Apollo's shrine in Delphi, it symbolizes the power of enlightened reason. For the Greeks, self-knowledge and identity were the foundations of their civilization. In this book, independent scholar Ingrid Rossellini explores the profound ideas that shaped the European quest for self-understanding, from the ancient Greek and Roman eras, through the Christian Middle Ages, to the early modern period of the Renaissance. 'Know Yourself' reintroduces us to the deeper and enduring ways that have shaped our civilization, from the evolution of religious, philosophical, and political ideas in the West to the influence of religious organizations and the fluctuating positions of successive church leaders in shaping political, social, and cultural life. Rossellini skillfully adopts multiple approaches to provide a comprehensive view of the historical development of self-identity. By engaging readers interested in interdisciplinary approaches and drawing from various artistic references, which have been the sole form of mass communication over thousands of years, the book celebrates the way artists, sculptors, and painters conveyed their thoughts and opinions through their artworks, a testament to the greatness of that era in art history. We are pleased to present this book, which encourages and propels you to rediscover yourself, understand the frameworks that have contributed to your personality, and offers a fresh definition of self."
