Free Will and Predestination in Islamic Thought Theoretical Compromises in the Works of Avicenna al-Ghazali and Ibn 'Arabi

Free Will and Predestination in Islamic Thought Theoretical Compromises in the Works of Avicenna al-Ghazali and Ibn 'Arabi

The subject of human free-will versus divine predestination is one of the most contentious topics in classical Islamic thought. By focusing on a theme of central importance to any philosophy of religion and to Islam in particular this book offers a critical study of the intellectual contributions offered to this discourse by three key medieval Islamic thinkers: Avicenna al-Ghāzālī and Ibn ʿArabī. Through investigation of primary sources Free Will and Predestination in Islamic Thought establishes the historical political and intellectual circumstances which prompted Avicenna al-Ghāzālī and Ibn ʿArabī’s attempts at harmonization. By analysing the theoretical and linguistic ‘techniques’ which were employed to convey these endeavours this book demonstrates that the three individuals were committed to compromise between philosophical theological and mystical outlooks. Arguing that the three scholars’ treatments of the so-called qaḍā wa’l-qadar (decree and destiny) and ikhtiyār (free-will) issues were innovative influential and fundamentally more complex than hitherto recognized this book contributes to a fuller understanding of Islamic intellectual history and culture and will be useful to researchers interested in Islamic Studies Religion and Islamic Mysticism. | Free Will and Predestination in Islamic Thought Theoretical Compromises in the Works of Avicenna al-Ghazali and Ibn 'Arabi

Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Traditional fermented foods are not only the staple food for most of developing countries but also the key healthy food for developed countries. As the healthy functions of these foods are gradually discovered more high throughput biotechnologies are being used to promote the fermented food industries. As a result the microorganisms process biochemistry manufacturing and down-streaming processing as well as the bioactive metabolites released by the fermenting organisms and above all the healthy functions of these foods were extensively researched. The application and progress of biotechnology and biochemistry of traditional fermented food systems are different from each other as the microorganisms and the food matrices vary widely. Part I (Biochemistry and Biotechnology) of this book (Fermented Foods) discusses the general aspects of biochemistry and biotechnological application of fermented foods involving acetic acid bacteria lactic acid bacteria ethanolic yeasts and fungi in accelerating the many and variable functional factors in the fermented foods as well as metagenomics of fermented foods. The detailed technological interventions involved in different categories of fermented foods such as fermented cereals (bread and sourdough) fermented milk products (yogurt cheese) fermented sausages fermented vegetables (kimchi sauerkraut) fermented legumes (tempeh natto) and coffee and cocoa fermentations and fermented beverages (animal- and plant-based) with their potential and actual health benefits are discussed in Part II (Fermented Foods: Technological Interventions). | Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Molecular Interventions in Lifestyle-Related Diseases

Molecular Interventions in Lifestyle-Related Diseases

The Japanese Ministry of Health Labor and Welfare officially recognizing that various risk factors for disease are present in our environment has proposed the concept of lifestyle-related diseases. These include those diseases that are tied to such lifestyle choices as excessive alcohol consumption cigarette smoking exposure to stress and poor diet. Ongoing attention to this issue led to an International Symposium on Free Radicals and Health: Molecular Interventions and Protection of Lifestyle-Related Diseases bringing together the top experts in that area. With the belief that the recognition of the occurrence of risk factors and their identification are important to overcoming lifestyle-related diseases three of those experts invited prominent participants at the symposium to contribute to a book. Molecular Interventions in Lifestyle-Related Diseases is the result of that effort. This book is divided into three main sections:Free Radicals Lifestyle-Related Diseases and Their ProtectionFree Radicals Brain Diseases and Their ProtectionNutraceuticals Functional Foods Micronutrients and Pharmacological InterventionsWhen bad lifestyle choices cause oxidants and free radicals to have a negative influence on cell signaling and gene expression lifestyle-related diseases are set into motion which in turn lead to further oxidative stress. Molecular Interventions in Lifestyle-Related Diseases addresses the molecular basis of free radicals and lifestyle-related diseases and preventive/therapeutic approaches including the use of nutraceuticals functional foods and pharmacological interventions. Each section contains several chapters addressing critical molecular mechanisms therapeutic interventions and other issues of relevance to human health that will be of interest to students and researchers in the health professions including nutritional and environmental scientists molecular and cell biologi
