July 1988Versuch über die Geschichte der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft
by Adam Ferguson, Hans Medick, Zwi Batscha, Hans Medick
Diese Edition von Adam Fergusons An Essay on the History of Civil Society (1767) macht eine zentrale Schrift aus der Vor- und Frühgeschichte der Sozialwissenschaften zugänglich. Fergusons Versuch enthält zentrale und originelle »soziologische Leitgedanken«. Das Zusammenleben der Menschen in Gruppen, ihre gesellschaftlichen Verhaltensweisen, die sozialen Normen, Verhältnisse und Prozesse werden als »Grundtatsachen« der menschlichen Geschichte begriffen. Doch die soziologischen Einsichten haben für Ferguson ihren Sinn nicht in sich selbst. Sie sind Vorstufe und Teil einer ebenso umfassenden wie differenzierten Kritik an der »verfeinerten« Kommerzgesellschaft seiner Zeit.

August 1994Eine Philosophie der Demokratie
Thomas G. Masaryks Begründung einer neuzeitlichen Demokratie
by Zwi Batscha
Für Thomas G. Masaryk (1850-1937), den ersten Präsident der ersten tschechoslowakischen Republik, ist Demokratie eine »Welt- und Lebensauffassung«. Zwi Batscha entfaltet die Weite und Vielschichtigkeit des dieser Auffassung zugrundeliegenden philosophisch-politischen Demokratiebegriffs: eine fundamentaldemokratische Einstellung, die sich von einer auf Philosophie und Wissenschaft gegründeten Weltanschauung über die Geschichtsphilosophie und Verfassungstheorie bis hin zu den zwischenmenschlichen und moralischen Beziehungen auf alle möglichen Bereiche erstreckt. Qualitativ - so Batscha - ist das Oeuvre Masaryks der schottischen Moralphilosophie, den französischen Enzyklopädisten und der deutschen Popularphilosophie zuzuordnen, die alle lebensgestaltend wirken wollten und die Bedeutung des Verstandes, der Toleranz und der Humanität betonten.

2023Textbook of Korean Medicine
Medicinal drugs and formulations
by Dr. Kenny Kuchta, Prof. Dr. Hans Wilhelm Rauwald, Hans Rausch and Dr. Raimund Royer
The consistent and evidence-based development of Korean medicine in many clinical application areas has significantly improved its international status in recent years. The basis for this development is one of the most important medical books in Korea, the „Donguibogam“, a clinical lexicon of applications compiled about 400 years ago; at that time the traditional work also enjoyed the highest recognition in China. In 2009 it was included in the „Memory of the World“ register of UNESCO. Even now after 400 years, it still serves as a manual for writing prescriptions for many physicians in Korea, and testifies that the understanding of nature and human disease patterns is still current and clinically applicable even in the modern industrialised world. This work provides ■ understanding for Korean medicine, ■ many selected medicinal formulations and their fields of application, ■ the description and evaluation of important traditional single remedies, ■ the corresponding drug monographs with information on analytical testing

September 1976Materialien zu Kants Rechtsphilosophie
Herausgegeben von Zwi Batscha
by Zwi Batscha
Die Deutung von Kants politischer Theorie und Sozialphilosophie ist bis heute umstritten. Die für diesen Band ausgewählten Texte aus der modernen Kantforschung sollen das Spektrum der verschiedenen Interpretationen exemplarisch vorführen. Diesen Texten sind Auszüge aus den »Vorarbeiten« und »Reflexionen« Kants zu seinen rechtsphilosophischen Arbeiten vorangestellt, die einen überraschenden Einblick in den Konstitutionsprozeß der Kantschen Theoriebildung vermitteln. Vor allem aufgrund dieser in der Forschung stark vernachlässigten Notizen Kants kann Batscha in seiner Einleitung zeigen, daß Versuche wie die Poppers und Schelskys, Kant gegen moderne »linke« Autoren auszuspielen, wenig überzeugen. Seine rechts- und sozialphilosophischen Reflexionen weisen Kant als einen der radikalsten Vertreter des deutschen Frühliberalismus aus; seine Reformvorschläge stehen in scharfem Gegensatz zu jeder Variante eines technokratischen Konservativismus.

2022Medication Management in the Hospital
A workbook for ward pharmacists
by Dr. Insa Gross, MSc Andreas Fischer and Dr. Holger Knoth
The ward pharmacist in the hospital is like the airbag in a car. As part of a fail-safe system, they monitor and optimise the patient’s drug therapy. Ward pharmacists work hand in hand with medical and nursing staff. That situation is also reflected in this workbook. All the cases presented were patients who had been cared for, evaluated and documented by a physician-pharmacist duo or similar team with combined medical and pharmaceutical expertise. The editorial team considered it important to illustrate all critical indications typically encountered in a hospital. In assessing and selecting the examples, they were able to draw upon the many years’ experience of their pioneering work as hospital and ward pharmacists. Practical tips, checklists, comments and advice for working in the ward environment round off the individual chapters. By learning from actual cases, this book offers the unique chance to develop an instinct for the pitfalls of drug safety. That applies to those who have successfully completed further training in the field of “Medication Management in the Hospital” and for all who wish to ensure the optimum treatment for their patients through competent work in clinical pharmacy.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2019Managing diabetes, managing medicine
Chronic disease and clinical bureaucracy in post-war Britain
by Martin D. Moore, Keir Waddington, David Cantor
This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Through its study of diabetes care in twentieth-century Britain, Managing diabetes, managing medicine offers the first historical monograph to explore how the decision-making and labour of medical professionals became subject to bureaucratic regulation and managerial oversight. Where much existing literature has cast health care management as either a political imposition or an assertion of medical control, this work positions managerial medicine as a co-constructed venture. Although driven by different motives, doctors, nurses, professional bodies, government agencies and international organisations were all integral to the creation of managerial systems, working within a context of considerable professional, political, technological, economic and cultural change.

October 1981Studien zur politischen Theorie des deutschen Frühliberalismus
by Zwi Batscha
Der vorliegende Band versammelt sieben Arbeiten Batschas über das politische Denken der deutschen Spätaufklärung. Gemeinsamer Bezugspunkt dieses Denkens war die Französische Revolution. Die Reflexion über Politik war der deutschen Aufklärung zwar nicht fremd, doch wurde sie durch die Revolution in Frankreich intensiviert, vertieft und um neue Fragestellungen bereichert. Auch die Aufspaltung in verschiedene politische Strömungen stammt noch aus früherer Zeit, aber durch die Notwendigkeit, zu den Ereignissen im Nachbarland Stellung zu beziehen, in seinem politischen Denken Farbe zu bekennen, wurden die Auseinandersetzungen heftiger, kompromißloser und des öfteren auch rücksichtsloser. Im Zentrum der politischen Diskussion stehen frühliberale Denkansätze, deren Quintessenz es ist, rechtsstaatliche Grundsätze im damaligen Deutschland zu propagieren und sie durch Reformen von oben zu verwirklichen, um damit den Ausbruch der Revolution zu verhindern.

September 2023Medicinal Plants used in Traditional Persian Medicine
by Hartwig Schulz, Seyed Ahmad Emami, Farsad Nadjafi
Medicinal plants and the natural products within them, still remain the starting point for breakthroughs in the development of safe, pharmacologically active synthetic molecules for use in a wide variety of clinical situations. Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM) is one of the most ancient medical doctrines, and is well-documented in terms of information about diseases, diagnoses and treatments, especially by the application of medicinal plants. TPM has been used for centuries worldwide, and many of these methods are still used in Iran today. This book introduces the basics of TPM, and describes the key medicinal plants which are used for the treatment of different diseases. It also creates possible new targets for research activities in drug discovery of natural products. The book is richly illustrated with coloured figures of historic drawings from old Persian pharmacopoeia and photos of plants in their natural habitats. References to Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese Medicine and to monastic medicine in Europe are also made. Knowledge about medicinal plants used in TPM still exists in Iran, however, there is a risk that the detailed expertise provided by the older generation will be lost in the near future. It is therefore important that this cultural heritage of humanity is properly preserved. This book provides a valuable, evidence-based resource on TPM for researchers, practitioners and students in medicinal plants, ethnobotany and herbal medicine.

MedicineSeptember 2023Situating religion and medicine in Asia
Methodological insights and innovations
by Michael Stanley-Baker
This edited volume presents the latest research on the intersection of religion and medicine in Asia. It features chapters by internationally known scholars, who bring to bear a range of methodological and geographic expertise on this topic. The book's central question is to what extent 'religion' and 'medicine' have overlapped or interrelated in various Asian societies. Collectively, the contributions explore a number of related issues, such as: which societies separated out religious from medical concerns, at which times and in what ways? Where have medicine and religion converged, and how has such knowledge been defined by scholars and cultural actors? Are 'religion' and 'medicine' the best terms by which scholars can grapple with knowledge about the sacred and the self, destiny and disease?

March 2024Erinnerung an Hans
by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels
Um sich den Verlust besonders nahestehender Menschen erträglicher zu machen, hatte Hermann Hesse die Gewohnheit, nachdem deren Todesnachricht ihn erreicht hatte und der Schmerz am empfindlichsten war, seine Erinnerungen an die Verstorbenen aufzuzeichnen. Denn eine der wichtigsten Funktionen der Literatur war für ihn das Aufbewahren des Vergänglichen im Wort, das Heraufbeschwören des Gewesenen durch möglichst genaue Schilderung. Solche Rückblicke, genannt »Gedenkblätter«, waren nicht nur Würdigungen der Verstorbenen, sondern stets auch Bestandteile seiner eigenen Lebensgeschichte. Zu den ergiebigsten dieser Aufzeichnungen gehören die Erinnerungen an seinen fünf Jahre jüngeren Bruder Hans, dem letzten der acht Nachkommen aus den beiden Ehen seiner Mutter. Wie es dazu kommen konnte, dass Hans sich im Alter von 43 Jahren das Leben nahm, berichtet der Dichter in dieser ergreifenden autobiografischen Erzählung. Das Nachwort schildert die Vorgänge aus anderen Quellen, ergänzt um die beiden Gedichte, die Hesse dem Bruder gewidmet hat.
