Sustaining Loss: Art and Mournful Life (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21272128): The book asserts that modern aesthetics holds the key to unlocking the tortured relation of modernity to the past it is perpetually leaving behind. As the capacity to withstand the inescapable force of a past that is dead for us becomes the supreme test for a fully modern, fully secular philosophy, aesthetics moves to the center of philosophical reflection. But, the author argues, this secular philosophical orientation can be sustained only if aesthetic theory remains oriented by intimate contact with modernist works of art. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 55.95 bestellen! |

History in a Grotesque Key: Russian Literature and the Idea of Revolution (buecher.de - (Teil1)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21264059): The literary works studied in this book, some well known but most obscure, all engage the mythology of revolutionary social change as it was deployed in their times. Yet instead of describing their epochs as moments of triumphant transition from the outworn past to the glorious future, these works describe their social worlds as bizarre, comical, and confused hybrids of the past and future. The author sees these works as a variation of the grotesque, as a revolutionary grotesque that is intimately connected to the historical mythology of radical social transformation in Russia. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 55.95 bestellen! |

Awakening China: Politics, Culture, and Class in the Nationalist Revolution (buecher.de - (Teil1)) | | Produktbeschreibung (20953418): The book follows the legend of China s awakening from its origins in the European imagination, to its transmission to China and its encounters with a lyrical Chinese tradition of ethical awakening, to its incorporation and mobilization in a mass movement designed to wake up everyone. Fiction and fashion, architecture and autobiography, take their places alongside politics and history, and the reader is asked to move about among writers, philosophers, ethnographers, revolutionaries, and soldiers who would seem to have little in common. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 25.95 bestellen! |

Empire and the Sun: Victorian Solar Eclipse Expeditions (buecher.de - (Teil1)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21868605): The development of imaging technologies was crucial to observations of the solar corona. Eclipse observation taxed astronomers and their cameras to their limits, and it raised new questions about the trustworthiness of imaging technologies. In the late 19th century, scientists shifted from drawing to photographing natural phenomena, but the shift occurred gradually, unevenly, and against resistance. Victorian astronomers had to weigh carefully the merits of human and mechanical observation, and the difficulties of solar photography highlight the inseparability of images from technologies of observation andprinting. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 21.95 bestellen! |

Dinosaurs, Diamonds, and Things from Outer Space: The Great Extinction (buecher.de - (Teil1)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21856275): This book explains, in a new and convincing theory, why most life on earth perished 65 million years ago. Intended for a broad audience, the book will also be of great interest to scientists - most of whom now agree that an object from outer space hit the earth with unimaginable force 65 million years ago. But what kind of object? Carlisle´s scenario suggests that the event was a complex sequence, beginning with a nearby star turning supernova. The first effect of this on earth was the arrival of massive radiation, ten or twenty times the heat of the sun, igniting worldwide forest fires. The blast also perturbed the cloud of comets that surrounds the solar system, and some few centuries later one or more of these (loaded with interstellar diamonds) hit the earth, producing ´nuclear winter´ and causing a tremendous acidification of the oceans. Each step of this theory is backed up by hard evidence. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 19.95 bestellen! |

The Rhetoric of Cultural Dialogue: Jews and Germans from Moses Mendelssohn to Richard Wagner and Beyond (buecher.de - (Teil1)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21976453): After arguing that the German Enlightenment ultimately plays out the historical phantasm of a necessary Judaization of Protestant rationality, the author shows that German Early Romanticism consists fundamentally in the attempt to solve the aporias raised by this impossible confrontation between Protestant spirit and Jewish letter. In readings of Dorothea Schlegel Mendelssohn s daughter and her husband Friedrich Schlegel, the author provides a new interpretation of the Neo-Catholic turn of later German Romanticism. Further, he situates the proleptic end and reversal of the project of Jewish emancipation in the two extreme versions of late-nineteenth-century anti-Judaism, those of Marx and Wagner, here viewed as binary concretizations of a specifically post-Romantic paganized Protestantism. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 29.95 bestellen! |

P. A. Stolypin: The Search for Stability in Late Imperial Russia (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21868062): This is a comprehensive biography of Russia´s leading statesman in the period following the Revolution of 1905. Prime Minister and Minister of Internal Affairs from 1906 to 1911, when he was assassinated, P. A. Stolypin aroused deep passions among his contemporaries as well as with subsequent historians. In the twilight of Nicholas II´s reign he was virtually the only man who seemed to have a clear notion of how to reform the socioeconomic and political system of the empire. His efforts in that direction - in agriculture, local administration, religious freedom, social legislation, the legal system - were radical new departures for the Russian state. This book - on the basis of extensive Russian archival documentation only recently available to historians - seeks to provide a balanced portrait of Stolypin that encompasses the complex, even divergent, impulses that motivated him. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 27.95 bestellen! |

Taking Wrongs Seriously: Apologies and Reconciliation (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21267774): Since the end of the Cold War, and particularly during the last fifteen years, the human need to amend immoral wrongs has been expressed in political discourse as a propensity to apologize for acts of past injustice. Can apology, by bringing closure to conflicts and by opening new possibilities for communication and mutual understanding, cultivate reconciliation and ameliorate the present? ´´Taking Wrongs Seriously´´ examines the increasingly potent role of apology as a social force. Contributors explore in a comparative and interdisciplinary framework the role and function - as well as the limitations - that apology has in promoting dialogue, tolerance, and cooperation between groups confronting one another over past injustices. Fourteen essays draw on a variety of disciplines - including history, international relations, transition studies, sociology, legal studies, psychology, and religion - to explore the real and symbolic transactions that lie at the core of apology. There is no similar introductory text on this subject that includes multiple disciplinary perspectives as well as such a wide geographical and historical spectrum of case studies. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 62.95 bestellen! |

Collaborative Entrepreneurship: How Communities of Networked Firms Use Continuous Innovation to Create Economic Wealth (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21832373): Anticipating the future environment of business, Collaborative Entrepreneurship discusses a revolutionary new competitive strategy of continuous innovation that fulfills the need for efficient provision of a constant stream of new products, services, and markets. The book explains how firms can build a collaborative community within which they can freely share in the creation of wealth through innovation with the assurance that the wealth they create will be equitably distributed. Today, the ability of firms to innovate is restricted by barriers both inside the firm and within their existing markets-barriers that produce limited knowledge utilization and incremental innovations. Collaborative Entrepreneurship describes how these barriers can be overcome so that shared knowledge can drive continuous, sustained innovation across a network of firms and markets. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 30.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (21839023): Kant is a pivotal thinker in Adorno´s intellectual world. Although he wrote monographs on Hegel, Husserl, and Kierkegaard, the closest Adorno came to an extended discussion of Kant are two lecture courses, one concentrating on the Critique of Pure Reason and the other on the Critique of Practical Reason. This new volume by Adorno comprises his lectures on the former.Adorno attempts to make Kant´s thought comprehensible to students by focusing on what he regards as problematic aspects of Kant´s philosophy. Adorno examines Kant´s dualism and what he calls the Kantian ´´block´´: the contradictions arising from Kant´s resistance to the idealism that his successors -- Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel -- saw as the inevitable outcome of his ideas. These lectures also provide an accessible introduction to and rationale for Adorno´s own philosophy as expounded in Negative Dialectics and his other major writings. Adorno´s view of Kant forms an integral part of his own philosophy, since he argues that the way out of the Kantian contradictions is to show the necessity of the dialectical thinking that Kant himself spurned. This in turn enables Adorno to criticize Anglo-Saxon scientistic or positivist thought, as well as the philosophy of existentialism. This book will be of great interest to those working in philosophy and in social and political thought, and it will be essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of Adorno´s own work. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 23.95 bestellen! |
