• Is Hegel actually saying that God in a literal sense is somehow part of/revealed in human history?

  And this is called Kabbalah (= means reception ...of sensory and fantasy inout and Will to receive them for they are joyful to get and never enough - so we develop our ego for this/ and Hegel takes Kabbaah from a friend of Boehme, Balthasar Walter (cca 1610s) - (the Inner Split or the Abyss - with unconscious nightly visions - comes from Kabbalah and the ten different inner soul levels /conscousness... - Source: Reddit / 3 days ago

• Sometimes one word makes a world of difference: rethinking the origins of Mark’s Gospel

  You should still be able to access it without an academia.edu account, but I posted a summary below. - Source: Reddit / 4 days ago

• Hecate, I need your help

  So, pace yourself. As I have personally found, there are always two things you can work on that aren't inherently spiritual and energy-related, but can be: research on Hekate (and Ancient Greece in general, if you will) and self-development work. Not necessarily in a witchy way, but tackling your fears, limiting beliefs and such. Hekate Phosphoros (Light-Bringer) is a very important to me aspect of her, which can... - Source: Reddit / 9 days ago

• Arabian pagans after Islam

  So what we are dealing with here is not the polytheism of the classical world but a religion that saw stars, planets and other astral bodies as angels, ideas which seem to have flourished in some early Jewish and Christian sects but are absent from Near Eastern polytheism. Of course the names they applied to these angels are the names of ancient Goddesses mentioned in Nabataea, Palmyra and Dedan, but there is a... - Source: Reddit / 19 days ago

• Can anybody provide good sources for pre-Christian Slavic beliefs and iconography?

  But academia.edu is a plattform to share research of different topics with a focus on texts published in scientific magazines. They have a collection tagged with pre-christian Slavic religion here: https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Pre-Christian_Slavic_Religion. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Three ways for Shoghi Effendi's followers to interpret Shoghi Effendi's unexpected death

  When Moojan Momen out of the blue starts following me on academia.edu, I know I have hit a home run and scored a lethal blow against your cult with this tidbit since that PoS long ago was deputized specifically to deal with the family of Shoghi. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Daily General Discussion - January 29, 2023

  Does academia.edu require you to dox yourself? If so, maybe just upload it as a regular file on any of the file hostings. That said, just by the title/abstract of the paper it will be trivial to find your name if your university puts them out in the open (or at least their abstracts) as mine did. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• No, Aran jumpers were not used to identify drowned sailors.

  It's also available on academia.edu https://www.academia.edu/7261904/Cable\_Crossings\_The\_Aran\_Jumper\_as\_Myth\_And\_Merchandise?email\_work\_card=title. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• How are Pre Early Modern textiles discovered, preserved and reconstructed by modern historians?

  For further reading, I highly recommend the works of Karina Grömer. She is amazing, and lots of her publications are online on her academia.edu profile (https://nhm-wien.academia.edu/KarinaGroemer) she is a specialist for prehistoric tablet weaving and fabrics in general. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Is there a large world of ancient sources that professional historians work with, but layman history buffs would never have heard of?

  I think this shows the difference between being an avid hobbyist and a professional scholar in history. When I want to know/write about something from Antiquity I usually just look through source texts I know of and look for articles on Jstor and academia.edu, whilst a historian with expertise on the subject would more often use compendia like the ones you refer to. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• traditional witchcraft

  Try looking at google scholar, academia.edu and jstor for academic work on those topics. Trust me there are tons of papers and books on British magic and folk traditions. I haven't dug into the papers I've found but I believe those are a good place to start. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• Who among the Meccan/ Arabian leaders resisted Mohammed until they died?

  If you can find the material on academia.edu it means it is public. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• The Arabic Origins of "Basque and Finnish Pronouns": A Radical Linguistic Theory Approach

  To be fair, there are plenty of legitimate academic papers from legitimate scholars on academia.edu. It's important to understand whose work you're reading, what the work is based on, where it was done, and so forth. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• How can people without institutional access search academic history papers?

  Another note, Google Scholar can be very useful to find sources. It will link them if they are available (whether on academia.edu, jstor, or another site) and it can introduce you to material ahead of time before you make a trip to a physical library. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• How can people without institutional access search academic history papers?

  On top of this, the main e-humanities journal site JSTOR runs a service where individual users can register and receive free access to up to 100 papers a month. Finally, if you are an alumnus of any university you should check to see if means you get access to some academic works. As a Cambridge alumnus I am able to resister for a university email that gets me free access to everything on the journal sites JSTOR,... - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

  Scholarly papers on esotericism also can be found and downloaded for free on the website academia.edu. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Can you create stress/strain curves from material datasheet info?

  Polymers definitively have time dependen properties (creep) and a strong dependence of ambient temperature and environment. I would recommend a search in the scientific literature (academia.edu, researchgate, etc) of "Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol Copolymer", and read how researchers measure and quantify properties. I had to do a similar work on an FKM (fluorocarbon-based fluoroelastomer ) o-ring recently. The... - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Archaeology in Finland

  Thank you for your recommendations! Yes, I grew a little tired smoothing out the bumpy Google translations, which is why I thought I'd ask here. In case you don't know DeepL yet – DeepL delivered a little more refined translations, imo. I will definitely check out your recommended works! Additionally, thanks to some people mentioning some Finnish organisations I could also find a few papers on academia.edu which... - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• What has been THE dumbest purchase you made this year?

  Share ko lang akin. I think it was a month or two ago, may nare-receive kasi akong email from Academia dot edu then 1 email said I was mentioned in a research report with my initials and last name. Syempre feelingera ako, feeling ko ako kasi saktong sakto initials and medyo uncommon rin maman last name ko so cinlick ko yung link na mare-redirect ako sa said study. Pagka-click ko, need mag subscribe mga $9 for the... - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Did the Qur'an have multiple authors? Is it apparent?

  I don't have time to deal with such silly things - I have valuable things to do. Almost all of these scholars I cited have either a personal website or an academia.edu page, where they would definitely list their CV. If you are much interested in their credentials, that's your job - especially when one can find it out within a few seconds. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Is there a comprehensive guide to European feudal politics?

  Susan Reynolds "The Tyranny of a Construct" - available for free on academia.edu if I remember correctly! She has kind of led the charge on reevaluating ideas of feudalism as it really doesnt describe all but the most narrow of political/military interactions. Thus a lot of scholars these days would argue that feudalism isnt really a useful term, and it probably wasnt even really a thing, in the way we think of it... - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
