Early Medieval Monasticism in the Immediate Centuries Following The
Early Medieval Monasticism In the immediate centuries following the death of Jesus Christ, a culture of monasticism developed and prospered throughout the early Christian world. There was the growing opinion among a group of believers that the best way to serve Christ was through living a life of simplicity, asceticism, and isolation from mainstream civilization. Throughout the early medieval period, two different types of monasticism formed— solitary and cenobitic (communal). Figures such as Saint Anthony, Pachomius, and St. Benedict, in particular, developed principles for both varieties of monastic life that shaped the course of monasticism in Europe forever. Although the Catholic Church and the papacy in Rome exerted official and formal power over Christendom in Western Europe, the monks of this growing monastic movement widely influenced several facets of early medieval society. During the early medieval period, monastic monks were revered as religious heroes throughout the larger European society. While their image fluctuated over time, these medieval monks greatly impacted and contributed to the religious and secular culture in Europe throughout the medieval period and beyond. Early Christian Monasticism One of the earliest figures of solitary monasticism was Saint Anthony, who lived a solitary life in Egypt during the third century. But life as an ascetic hermit was difficult on numerous levels. As a result, the cenobitic monastic movement began to gain popularity under leaders such as Pachomius, who created a community of monastic individuals during the first part of the fourth century. Pachomius was responsible for devising some of the first foundational rules for monastic living. These included the strict principle of total obedience to superiors, as well as the practice and observance of chastity and poverty. -
Mendicant Orders of the Middle Ages
Mendicant Orders of the Middle Ages The Monks and Monasteries of the early Middle Ages played a critical roal in the preservation and promotion of Christian culture. The accomplishments of the monks, especially during the 'Dark Ages', are too numerous to list. They were the both missionaries and custodians of Catholic culture for generations, and the monastic reforms of the tenth century paved the way for the reforms of the secular clergy that followed. By the beginning of the 13th century, however, there was seen a need for a new type of religious community, and thus were born the Mendicant Orders. The word 'Mendicant' means beggar, and this was due to the fact that the Mendicant Friars, in contrast to the Benedictine Monks, lived primarily in towns, rather than on propertied estates. Since they did not own property, they were not beholden to secular rulers and were free to serve the poor, preach the gospel, and uphold Christian ideals without compromise. The Investiture Controversy of the previous century, and the underlying problems of having prelates appointed by and loyal to local princes, was one of the reasons for the formation of mendicant orders. Even though monks took a vow of personal poverty, they were frequently members of wealthy monasteries, which were alway prone to corruption and politics. The mendicant commitment to poverty, therefore, prohibited the holding of income producing property by the orders, as well as individuals. The poverty of the mendicant orders gave them great freedom, in the selection of their leaders, in the their mobility, and in their active pursuits. -

Slovakia Abstract: Since the end of the 19th century, the modernisation processes of urbanisation and industrialisation taking place in Europe and the transatlantic regions have changed not only the natural environment but also social and geographical relations. The emergence of modern states changed the traditional societies, lifestyles and private lives of individuals and social groups. It is also characteristic of this period that social reform movements appeared in large numbers – as a «counterweight» to unprecedented, rapid and profound changes. Some of these movements sought to achieve the necessary changes with the help of individual self-reform. Life reform in the narrower sense refers to this type of reform movement. New historical pedagogical research shows that in the major school concepts of reform pedagogy a relatively close connection with life reform is discernible. Reform pedagogy is linked to life reform – and vice versa. Numerous sociotopes of life reform had their own schools, because how better to contribute than through education to the ideal reproduction and continuity of one’s own group. -
Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories Before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions
Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions Geoffrey Jones Working Paper 13-024 August 28, 2012 Copyright © 2012 by Geoffrey Jones Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions Geoffrey Jones Harvard Business School August 2012 Abstract This working paper examines the creation of the global natural food and beauty categories before 2000. This is shown to have been a lengthy process of new category creation involving the exercise of entrepreneurial imagination. Pioneering entrepreneurs faced little consumer demand for natural products, and little consumer knowledge of what they entailed. The creation of new categories involved three overlapping waves of entrepreneurship. The first involved making the ideological case for natural products. This often entailed investment in education and publishing activities. Second, entrepreneurs engaged in the creation of industry associations which could advocate, as well as give the nascent industry credibility and create standards. Finally, entrepreneurs established retail stores, supply and distribution networks, and created brands. Entrepreneurial cognition and motivation frequently lay in individual, and very local, experiences, but many of the key pioneers were also highly globalized in their world views, with strong perception of how small, local efforts related to much bigger and global pictures. A significant sub-set of the influential historical figures were articulate in expressing strong religious convictions.
