Verantwortung
Philosophische Grundlagentexte
by Christoph Halbig, Jörg Löschke, Philipp Schwind
Die Zuschreibung von Verantwortung für unsere Handlungen ist ein zentraler Bestandteil unserer moralischen Praxis. Aber sie wirft schwierige philosophische Fragen auf. Müssen wir beispielsweise über einen freien Willen verfügen, um für unsere Handlungen verantwortlich zu sein? Ist Verantwortung ein einheitliches Phänomen oder gibt es verschiedene Arten von Verantwortung? Und können wir nur für unsere Taten verantwortlich sein oder beispielsweise auch für unsere Überzeugungen? Der Band versammelt – zum Teil erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung – die zentralen Texte der philosophischen Debatte über Verantwortung, u. a. von Stephen Darwall, Harry G. Frankfurt, H. L. H. Hart, Thomas Nagel, Peter Strawson, Susan Wolf und Iris Marion Young.

The annals of St-Bertin
Ninth-century histories, volume I
by Janet L. Nelson
The Annals of St-Bertin, covering the years 830 to 882, are the main narrative source for the Carolingian world in the ninth century. This richly-annotated translation by a leading British specialist makes these Carolingian histories accessible in English for the first time, encouraging readers to reassess and evaluate a crucially formative period of European history. Produced in the 830s in the imperial palace of Louis the Pious, The Annals of St-Bertin were continued away from the Court, first by Bishop Prudentius of Troyes, then by the great scholar-politician Archbishop Hinemar of Rheims. The authors' distinctive voices and interests give the work a personal tone rarely found in medieval annals. They also contain uniquely detailed information on Carolingian politics, especially the reign of the West Frankish king, Charles the Bald (840-877). No other source offers so much evidence on the Continental activities of the Vikings. Janet L. Nelson offers in this volume both an entrée to a crucial Carolingian source and an introduction to the historical setting of teh Annals and possible ways of reading the evidence. The Annals of St-Bertin will be valuable reading for academics, research students and undergraduates in medieval history, archaeology and medieval languages. It will also fascinate any general reader with an interest in the development of European culture and society.

Privat gibt es auch keinen Trost: Ihr ehemaliger Lieblingskollege setzt vor lauter Midlife-Crisis zum großen Rachefeldzug an, während ihr treuester Verbündeter bei der Kripo knietief im Liebeskummer versinkt. Da ist es fast ein Glück, dass zu jedem Opfer ein Täter gehört. Das Opfer ist ein Mann ohne Namen, der übel zugerichtet in ein Krankenhaus im Hamburger Osten eingeliefert wird. Alles sehr professionell gemacht, der klassische Warnschuss. Riley gewinnt nach und nach sein Vertrauen. Bei zwei bis acht Bier auf der Krankenstation nennt er ihr schließlich einen Namen. Nicht seinen, aber es ist eine Spur, und die führt nach Leipzig. Dort findet Riley einen Verbündeten und viel zu viele synthetische Drogen. Als ihr klar wird, wer hinter der Sache steckt, sieht sie ihre Chance, endlich einen der ganz großen Fische dingfest zu machen.
