        Philosophie und Lebensform

        by Julian Nida-Rümelin

        Gründe geben unserer rational und normativ verfaßten Lebensform die Struktur, deren wir als Menschen bedürfen – als Mitglieder dieser, wie Julian Nida-Rümelin sagt, »merkwürdigen Spezies, deren hinreichend entwickelte Exemplare sich in ihren Urteilen und ihrem Handeln von Gründen leiten lassen«. Welche Rolle spielt dabei die wissenschaftliche Erkenntnis? In welchem Verhältnis stehen Lebensform und Wissenschaft, Bedeutung und Intention, Ethik und Alltagspraxis, Moral und Politik? Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigen sich die hier versammelten philosophischen Abhandlungen von Nida-Rümelin, die seine pragmatistische Philosophie exemplarisch dokumentieren.

        Humanistische Reflexionen.

        by Julian Nida-Rümelin

        Ein recht verstandener Humanismus ist die Antwort auf die aktuelle Unordnung der Welt – so lautet die Zentralthese des neuen Buches von Julian Nida-Rümelin, der unter »Humanismus« weit mehr versteht als eine Geisteshaltung oder gar das angestaubte Relikt längst vergangener Zeiten. Humanismus ist vor allem eine Praxis der Menschlichkeit und damit die einzige Hoffnung auf eine friedliche, gerechte und prosperierende Weltgesellschaft der Zukunft. Damit der Humanismus seine Prägekraft zurückgewinnt, die er in einigen Phasen der Weltgeschichte hatte, muss er revitalisiert, muss er von Grund auf erneuert werden. Die Texte in diesem Band wollen dazu einen Beitrag leisten.

        Democracy Into Children's Minds

        Why our future will be decided in schools

        by Julian Nida-Rümelin/Klaus Zierer

        — By two renowned authors from the fields of philosophy and education — Julian Nida-Rümelin – a popular talk show guest The debate about the correct school policy has been going on for many years. And there's no end to the bad news regarding the shortage of teachers, poor performance by students at PISA or the lack of suitable equipment in schools. What is being neglected in the discussions about the education policy but is, in fact, a central momentum in its development, is the school's task of conveying democratic values and patterns of action. This is the only way our society's supporting pillars can be strengthened in future generations. In the light of the complex situation, from the authors' point of view it is important to formulate a wake-up call: Democracy education – now!

        Hermits and anchorites in England, 1200–1550

        by E. A. Jones

        This source book offers a comprehensive treatment of solitary religious lives in England in the late Middle Ages. It covers both enclosed recluses (anchorites) and free-wandering hermits, and explores the relationship between them. Although there has been a recent surge of interest in the solitary vocations, especially anchorites, this has focused almost exclusively on a small number of examples. The field is in need of reinvigoration, and this book provides it. Featuring translated extracts from a wide range of Latin, Middle English and Old French sources, as well as a scholarly introduction and commentary from one of the foremost experts in the field, Hermits and anchorites in England is an invaluable resource for students and lecturers alike.

        The Detention Pros

        by Kirsten John/Miryam Specht

        Clara, Julian, Felix and Fee must have done something bad, because they are waiting for a severe punishment: detention. “Detention” is actually the wrong word. In fact their task is to get the school garden into shape, which includes the fountain with non-stop snapping turtles. But oh, shock horror! First of all, Felix digs up a skull. Then several suspicious looking men turn up, alleging that they are sports teachers. Could this be the cover-up of a murder? And what is the grumpy housemaster Kratzek hiding? In order to find out just what is going on at the closed school, the four detainees must stick together at all costs – and that is the biggest adventure of them all.

        Joseph Losey

        by Colin Gardner

        The career of Wisconsin-born Joseph Losey spanned over four decades and several countries. A self-proclaimed Marxist and veteran of the 1930s Soviet agit-prop theater, he collaborated with Bertholt Brecht before directing noir B-pictures in Hollywood. A victim of McCarthyism, he later crossed the Atlantic to direct a series of seminal British films such as "Time Without Pity," "Eve," "The Servant," and "The Go-Between," which mark him as one of the cinema's greatest baroque stylists. His British films reflect on exile and the outsider's view of a class-bound society in crisis through a style rooted in the European art house tradition of Resnais and Godard. Gardner employs recent methodologies from cultural studies and poststructural theory, exploring and clarifying the films' uneasy tension between class and gender, and their explorations of fractured temporality.

        The making of a modern artist

        by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter

        Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;
