November 2021Joe Biden's America
Introduction to a divided country
by Roland Benedikter
— "A precise, analytical insight into the phenomenon Trump." (Anton Pelinka, Central European University Budapest) — "An introduction to the contemporary US." (Heinrich Neisser, Jean Monnet Chair of European Integration, University of Innsbruck) — "Refreshingly different." (Herbert Dorfmann, Member of the European Parliament) Joe Biden's America is deeply divided. Donald Trump's term in office made many problems of modern US society visible, which Biden now has to solve. What do American politics look like under Joe Biden? What legacy did Donald Trump leave behind, and what kind of impact does it have? How can the deeper causes, factors and drivers of current US developments be put in a historical context? Roland Benedikter provides a thorough insight into a complex country. In a compact and comprehensible way, he explains the background, challenges and perspectives of the Biden era, while also providing an overview of the current state of US society and culture in general. His analysis is suitable for teaching, decision-makers and civil society as an introduction to today's USA.

March 2006Von der Schönheit der Ethik
by Klaus Berger
Schönheit«, so heißt es bei Thomas von Aquin, »ist der Glanz der Ordnung.« Ordnung hat immer auch eine ästhetische Qualität, wie umgekehrt die Schönheit von geordneten Strukturen, von Gesetzmäßigkeiten bestimmt ist. Davon ausgehend stellt Klaus Berger die Frage, ob nicht auch die höchste Kunst, die Kunst, glücklich, und gerecht zu leben, insgesamt etwas zu tun hat mit der ästhetischen Gestaltung und Wahrnehmung der Welt. Nach einer Skizze der verschiedenen Ethik-Modelle in Geschichte und Gegenwart entwickelt Berger seine eigene Perspektive. Dabei geht es ihm weniger um die Probleme der Alltagsmoral als um grundsätzliche Fragen, deren Beantwortung jeder Ethik vorausgeht: Wie kann man notwendige Normen verankern in dem, was ein Mensch tatsächlich erlebt, denkt und tut? Kann es überhaupt allgemeingültige Regeln geben, die den ganzen Menschen in seiner Widersprüchlichkeit erfassen? Klaus Bergers Versuch einer Grundlegung der Ethik erfolgt aus dem Geist der Religion. Bergers Position ist radikal, und in diesem Sinne deutet er auch die Gebote der Bibel, die in ihrer Schärfe für die europäische Kultur noch immer wirksamer sind, als Philosophie und Theologie gelegentlich erklärt haben. Ohne Begehren und Leidenschaft ist das Gute nicht zu verwirklichen, so wie die Wahrheit der Schönheit bedarf. Klaus Berger entwirft eine nicht-normative Ethik für unsere Zeit.

Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2024Geoffrey Hill and the ends of poetry
by Tom Docherty
The idea of the end is an essential motivic force in the poetry of Geoffrey Hill (1932-2016). This book shows that Hill's poems are characteristically 'end-directed'. They tend towards consummations of all kinds: from the marriages of meanings in puns, or of words in repeating figures and rhymes, to syntactical and formal finalities. The recognition of failure to reach such ends provides its own impetus to Hill's poetry. This is the first book on Hill to take account of his last works. It is a significant contribution to the study of Hill's poems, offering a new thematic reading of his entire body of work. By using Hill's work as an example, the book also touches on questions of poetry's ultimate value: what are its ends and where does it wish to end up?

Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2022Kate Atkinson
by Armelle Parey
This timely in-depth study of award-winning Kate Atkinson's work provides a welcome comprehensive overview of the novels, play and short stories.

Combining close analysis and literary contextualisation, it situates her multi-faceted work in terms of a hybridisation of genres and innovative narrative strategies to evoke contemporary issues and well as the past. Chapters offer insights into each major publication (from Behind the Scenes at the Museum to Big Sky, the latest instalment in the Brodie sequence, through the celebrated Life After Life and subsequent re-imaginings of the war) in relation to the key concerns of Atkinson's fiction, including self-narrativisation, history, memory and women's lives.
