Anarchism and religion have historically had an uneasy relationship. Indeed, representatives of both sides have regularly insisted on the fundamental incompatibility of anarchist and religious ideas and practices. Yet, ever since the emergence of anarchism as an intellectual and political movement, a considerable number of religious anarchists have insisted that their religious tradition necessarily implies an anarchist political stance. Reflecting both a rise of interest in anarchist ideas and activism on the one hand, and the revival of religious ideas and movements in the political sphere on the other, this multi-volume collection examines congruities and contestations between the two from a diverse range of academic perspectives. The second volume of Essays in Anarchism & Religion includes essays covering themes such as Yiddish radicalism, Byzantine theology, First Peter, William Blake, the role of violence in anarchism and in Christian anarchism, Spanish anarchist-themed film, and the Occult features of anarchism. In a world where political ideas increasingly matter once more, and religion is an increasingly visible aspect of global political life, these essays offer scholarly analysis of overlooked activists, ideas and movements, and as such reveal the possibility of a powerful critique of contemporary global society.
This book takes seriously the transformation of art into philosophy, focusing upon the systematic interest that so many European philosophers take in modernism. Among the philosophers Gerald Bruns discusses are Theodor W. Adorno, Maurice Blanchot, Arthur Danto, Stanley Cavell, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Jacques Derrida, Jean-François Lyotard, Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, and Emmanuel Levinas. As Bruns demonstrates, the difficulty of much modern and contemporary poetry can be summarized in the idea that a poem is made of words, not of any of the things that we use words to produce: meanings, concepts, propositions, narratives, or expressions of feeling. Many modernist poets have argued that in poetry language is no longer a form of mediation but a reality to be explored and experienced in its own right.
<B>Dieses Buch wurde mit dem zweiten Preis des Deutschen Studienpreises 2011 der Körber-Stiftung in der Sektion ‘Sozialwissenschaften’ ausgezeichnet.</B><BR> Die meisten Mütter unterbrechen nach der Geburt ihres ersten Kindes ihre Erwerbstätigkeit. Auf der Basis einer humankapitaltheoretisch fundierten Lohnfunktion und mit Daten des Sozio-ökonomischen Panels (SOEP) schätzt die Autorin den Lohneinfluss unterschiedlicher Ausprägungen von Erwerbserfahrung für westdeutsche Frauen und zeigt, dass Mütter – je nach Bildungsniveau und Unterbrechungsmuster – allein bis zum 46. Lebensjahr eine Bruttolohnsumme von bis zu 200 000 Euro verlieren. Im Ergebnis kann die Aufschiebung von Geburten ökonomisch rational sein. Eine Auszeit-Verkürzung senkt die Verluste erheblich. Der berechnete «Career Wage Gap» als Biografie-bedingter Einkommensnachteil von Frau zu Frau trägt dazu bei, geschlechtsspezifische Lohndiskriminierung in Deutschland fundiert zu beziffern.
Heartbreak House: A Fantasia in the Russian Manner on English Themes is a play written by George Bernard Shaw, first published in 1919 and first played at the Garrick Theatre in November 1920. According to A. C. Ward, the work argues that "cultured, leisured Europe" was drifting toward destruction, and that "Those in a position to guide Europe to safety failed to learn their proper business of political navigation". The "Russian manner" of the subtitle refers to the style of Anton Chekhov, which Shaw adapts. From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA).

“Segundo o próprio autor, Cícero, “as Discussões Tusculanas […] tratavam dos fundamentos da vida feliz: a primeira sobre o desprezo da morte, a segunda sobre suportar a dor, a terceira sobre mitigar a dor, a quarta sobre as perturbações psicológicas e a quinta sobre a coroa de toda a filosofia: a afirmação (estoica) de que a virtude é em si mesma suficiente para a vida feliz”. Neste livro, Cícero revela a objetividade prática, um traço característico da Weltanschauung romana. Não se debruça sobre questões metafísicas; aborda temas que inquietam qualquer vivente, perplexo ante problemas inevitáveis e sem soluções visíveis: a morte, a dor física, o sofrimento moral, a busca de felicidade, o beate vivere.”
Albert Speer ist es mit seinen autobiographischen Erinnerungen gelungen, nachhaltigen Einfluss auf seine Wahrnehmung in der Öffentlichkeit zu nehmen. Roman B. Kremer analysiert die rhetorischen Muster in Speers Text und setzt sie in Kontrast zu den rhetorischen Verfahren autobiographischer Texte anderer NS-Politiker und -Militärs wie Baldur von Schirach, Karl Dönitz und Erich Raeder. Seine Studie zeigt eindrucksvoll, mit welcher rhetorischen Raffinesse Speer seine Erinnerungen aufgebaut hat. Daraus ergeben sich grundsätzliche Erkenntnisse zum bislang oft unterschätzten Zusammenhang von Autobiographie und Rechtfertigung. Through his autobiographical memoirs, Albert Speer successfully managed to have a lasting influence on his public perception. Roman B. Kremer analyses the rhetorical patterns within Speer’s text and contrasts them with the rhetorical methods found within the autobiographical texts of other NS politicians and militarists, such as Baldur von Schirach, Karl Dönitz and Erich Raeder. His study impressively demonstrates the rhetorical finesse of Speer’s memoirs, picking up on fundamental insights into the relationship between autobiography and justification, which have often been somewhat discounted in the past.
