Die sanfte Macht der Hirten: die Bedeutung Michel Foucaults für die praktische Theologie / Hermann Steinkamp.

Zustand: garantiert nie benutzt und nie gelesen, verlagsneu und originalverpackt; Noch einige Exemplare auf Lager! Jesus als der "gute Hirte": Dieses Bild hat sich tief ins Bewußtsein der Gläubigen eingeprägt. Auch Priester und Bischöfe bezeichnen sich selbst als Hirten. Hinter der Sorge um das (Seelen-)Heil des Einzelnen verbirgt sich eine subtile Form der Machtausübung. Es war der bekannte französische Philosoph Michel Foucault, der die Entdeckung gemacht hat, dass diese besondere Form der "Pastoralmacht" weit über Kirche und Christentum hinaus unsere abendländischen Gesellschaften geprägt hat. Hermann Steinkamp zeigt, wie uns die Analysen Foucaults helfen können, die Machtstrukturen innerhalb der Kirche besser zu durchschauen, die eine echte Gemeindebildung verhindern. Und er macht auf hoffnungsvolle "Gegenbewegungen" aufmerksam, die es zu fördern und zu stützen gilt. Hermann Steinkamp hat mit diesem Buch seine "Sozialpastoral" wesentlich weiterentwickelt.; 1. Aufl.

Foucault, Michel (Translated by Graham Burchell). ABNORMAL: MICHEL FOUCAULT LECTURES AT THE COLLEGE DE FRANCE 1974-1975 Scarce Copy of The First American Edition. New York City, NY: Picador, 2003.
Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. 374 pages. As New in As New Dust Jacket. Collection of lecture-essays. The first title in the multi-volume series. One of the most important cultural events of the year 2003. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. "From 1971 until his death in 1984, Michel Foucault taught at the College de France, the most prestigious intellectual institution in Europe. Each year, in a series of twelve public lectures, Foucault sought to explain his research of the previous year. The lectures comprising 'Abnormal' begin by examining the role of psychiatry in modern criminal justice, and its method of categorizing individuals who 'resemble their crime before they commit it'. Foucault shows how and why defining abnormality and normality were prerogatives of power in the 19th century, shaping the institutions, from the prison system to the family, meant to deal in particular with 'monstrosity' , whether sexual, physical or spiritual" (Publisher's blurb). Now regarded as the greatest openly gay philosopher in the Western tradition, Foucault, the philosopher of the "episteme", argued that human history takes place in discontinuous, radical, and transformative breaks (as opposed to continuous, evolutionary, and incremental changes) that have absolutely nothing to do with one another. Thus, a Renaissance artist will not understand anything that comes after him whereas his Modern counterpart understands him only in Modernist terms, a conceptual understanding that has little to do with what really happened in history, and how it transformed the human being. Yet Foucault's own work has a retrospective continuity and overarching concerns; it is dedicated to uncovering (what he called an "archaeology" rather than history proper) and demonstrating how social structures have turned the overwhelming majority of human beings, especially minorities, who include women (while they have outnumbered men, they are treated as a minority by a patriarchal social order), the poor, the mad, the criminal, the sick, and the homosexual, into virtual slaves of seemingly immutable structures invented by each new epoch to keep the rich and powerful in control. Foucault deployed his genius as a philosopher, phenomenologist, and political thinker to help make people re-think and seek new answers to the question, "What does it mean to be human?", the only philosophical question worth asking. He single-handedly exposed Western Enlightenment as a lie, and by extension, all of its modern versions, whether it be European, British or American "analytical thinking". The most important French thinker of his time, he was alienated as a Frenchman, and wished that his country would collapse, making him more, not less, wildly popular with his fellow Frenchmen. His seminal influence on every aspect of Western thought and art has been "destructive" in the most positive sense of the word: "He has given received wisdom a mighty blow from which it will never recover" (Christopher Lasch). A "must-have" title for Michel Foucault collectors. <b><i> This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for a long time. This is one of very few copies of the First American Edition still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A very scarce copy thus. </b></i> The greatest French philosopher of the 20th century. A flawless copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER MICHEL FOUCAULT TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0312203349.

Foucault, Michel (Translated by David Macey). "SOCIETY MUST BE DEFENDED": MICHEL FOUCAULT LECTURES AT THE COLLEGE DE FRANCE 1975-1976 Scarce Copy of The First American Edition. New York City, NY: Picador, 2003.
Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. 310 pages. As New in As New Dust Jacket. Collection of lecture-essays. The second title in the multi-volume series. One of the most important cultural events of the year 2003. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with the Softcover Edition. "From 1971 until his death in 1984, Michel Foucault taught at the College de France, the most prestigious intellectual institution in Europe. Each year, in a series of twelve public lectures, Foucault sought to explain his research of the previous year. The lectures show Foucault ranging freely over the implications of his research. He deals with the emergence in the early 17th century of a new understandin g of society and its relation to war. War was now seen as the permanent basis of all institutions of power, a hidden presence within society that could be deciphered by historical analysis" (Publisher's blurb) . It is simply uncanny how Foucault, writing in the 1970's and early 1980's, anticipated everything that has been and will be done about war to perpetuate, expand, and solidify power. The justification has an all-too-familiar ring: Society must be defended. Now regarded as the greatest openly gay philosopher in the Western tradition, Foucault, the philosopher of the "episteme", argued that human history takes place in discontinuous, radical, and transformative breaks (as opposed to continuous, evolutionary, and incremental changes) that have absolutely nothing to do with one another. Thus, a Renaissance artist will not understand anything that comes after him whereas his Modern counterpart understands him only in Modernist terms, a conceptual understanding that has little to do with what really happened in history, and how it transformed the human being.
