5. Encyclopedia of Human Ideas on Ultimate Reality and Meaning:Aplan 1 5. ENCYCLOPEDIA OF HUMAN IDEAS ON ULTIMATE REALITY AND MEANING: A PLAN AND LIST OF TOPICS The purpose of URAM Research was from the beginning to collect in its historical development all that the human mind ever thought about the ultimate reality and meaning of human existence from humanity’s beginning to the present in an Encyclopedia. The preparatory stage prior to the launching of the journal in 1978 involved construction of the outline of the project with the cooperation of over 50 scholars for twelve years since 1966. Following criticism and enlargement, the first outline was edited again and for four times. The fourth edition was then published in the first issue of the journal in 1978. This is the one our readers find here with additional new ones offered by our authors. The difference is that the topics which during the last thirty years had been analyzed and published in our journal are now marked by volume and page references of issues carrying the articles. The listing in more than one sense is not complete and any suggestions for improvement in any way will be gratefully acknowledged to our readers. Acknowledgments are due to many colleagues and experts for their valuable cooperation in preparing this outline. URAM research gratefully welcomes further any comments, corrections and additions to the present Outline, particularly to the listing of the African Linguistic Families based on O. Kohler, “Geschichte der Gliederung der Sprachen Afrikas.” Die Völker Afrikas und ihre traditonellen Kulturen. Edited by H. Baumann, vol. 1, pp. 131-373. 1975. Wiesbaden: Steiner. We note here that the number each article carries in the journal refers to the section the article makes as a contribution for the planned Encyclopedia of human ideas on ultimate reality and meaning. The word ‘‘human” means that ideas are human, therefore, fallible, open to development. Ideas are human, since no one can be without them. They are human since they are many, just as human beings are. Furthermore, we note also that the purpose of the Outline was to describe the comprehensive nature of the research focusing not on abstract systems and groups but on specific peoples and persons. The whole project of an URAM Encyclopedia is from the beginning divided into four volumes with various sections. DIVISIONS VOL.

  • 11 Joachim of Fiore
    JOACHIM OF FIORE The abbot’s image released by the bishop’s See of Cosenza, on the occasion of the eight-hundredth anniversary of Joachim’s death,which marks the date ( March 2002 ) of the preliminary steps of the catholic Church’s process leading to his beatification . Joachim of Fiore was born at Celico, a small town in the province of Cosenza, in 1130 and died, in the odour of sanctity, on March the 30 th , 1202, at Canale, a small hamlet of Pietrafitta, near Cosenza. His mortal remains were taken to the “Florense” Abbey of San Giovanni in Fiore, in 1226. He was a Cistercian abbot of Corazzo in 1177 and of Casamari in 1182, but, a short time later, he withdrew into solitude. In 1196 he founded a new congregation in San Giovanni in Fiore, called “Florense”, approved by Celestino III. He was one of the most fecund and complex personalities of the medieval spirituality. Many, especially the extremist Spiritual Franciscans, acclaimed him as a prophet. His prophecies exerted a fascinating influence on a large number of sensible Christian minds. He prophesied a new age. In his “Age of the Spirit” the ecclesiastical organization would be replaced and the Order of the Just (The Franciscan order) would rule the Church. Joachim’s works had a great vogue in the 13 th and 14 th centuries. Dante places him in Paradise, Divine Comedy, the twelfth canto, lines of verse 140/141: “ …il calavrese abate Giovacchino / di spirito profetico dotato…”. Joachim of Fiore resided for some time at the Abbey of Fonte Laurato, in Fiumefreddo Bruzio, which became the second Mother House of the “Florense” congregation.

This study is about the natural history of A. pe- huenche and the physicochemical characteristics of a breeding site located in the Maule mountain range of central Chile. Moreover, the finding of its clutches in Chilean territory is reported here for the first time. Finally, a description of the number and morphology of these eggs is provided.

  • A Grammatical Sketch of Ngarla: a Language of Western Australia Torbjörn Westerlund
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY master thesis The department for linguistics and philology spring term 2007 A grammatical sketch of Ngarla: A language of Western Australia Torbjörn Westerlund Supervisor: Anju Saxena Abstract In this thesis the basic grammatical structure of normal speech style of the Western Australian language Ngarla is described using example sentences taken from the Ngarla – English Dictionary (by Geytenbeek; unpublished). No previous description of the language exists, and since there are only five people who still speak it, it is of utmost importance that it is investigated and described. The analysis in this thesis has been made by Torbjörn Westerlund, and the focus lies on the morphology of the nominal word class. The preliminary results show that the language shares many grammatical traits with other Australian languages, e.g. the ergative/absolutive case marking pattern. The language also appears to have an extensive verbal inflectional system, and many verbalisers. 2 Abbreviations 0 zero marked morpheme 1 first person 1DU first person dual 1PL first person plural 1SG first person singular 2 second person 2DU second person dual 2PL second person plural 2SG second person singular 3 third person 3DU third person dual 3PL third person plural 3SG third person singular A the transitive subject ABL ablative ACC accusative ALL/ALL2 allative ASP aspect marker BUFF buffer morpheme C consonant CAUS causative COM comitative DAT dative DEM demonstrative DU dual EMPH emphatic marker ERG ergative EXCL exclusive, excluding addressee FACT factitive FUT future tense HORT hortative ImmPAST immediate past IMP imperative INCHO inchoative INCL inclusive, including addressee INSTR instrumental LOC locative NEG negation NMLISER nominaliser NOM nominative N.SUFF nominal class suffix OBSCRD obscured perception P the transitive object p.c.

  • AR Radcliffe-Brown]
    P129: The Personal Archives of Alfred Reginald RADCLIFFE-BROWN (1881- 1955), Professor of Anthropology 1926 – 1931 Contents Date Range: 1915-1951 Shelf Metre: 0.16 Accession: Series 2: Gift and deposit register p162 Alfred Reginald Radcliffe-Brown was born on 17 January 1881 at Aston, Warwickshire, England, second son of Alfred Brown, manufacturer's clerk and his wife Hannah, nee Radcliffe. He was educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and Trinity College, Cambridge (B.A. 1905, M. A. 1909), graduating with first class honours in the moral sciences tripos. He studied psychology under W. H. R. Rivers, who, with A. C. Haddon, led him towards social anthropology. Elected Anthony Wilkin student in ethnology in 1906 (and 1909), he spent two years in the field in the Andaman Islands. A fellow of Trinity (1908 - 1914), he lectured twice a week on ethnology at the London School of Economics and visited Paris where he met Emily Durkheim. At Cambridge on 19 April 1910 he married Winifred Marie Lyon; they were divorced in 1938. Radcliffe-Brown (then known as AR Brown) joined E. L. Grant Watson and Daisy Bates in an expedition to the North-West of Western Australia studying the remnants of Aboriginal tribes for some two years from 1910, but friction developed between Brown and Mrs. Bates. Brown published his research from that time in an article titled “Three Tribes of Western Australia”, The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 43, (Jan. - Jun., 1913), pp. 143-194. At the 1914 meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Melbourne, Daisy Bates accused Brown of gross plagiarism.
