DURKHEIM, ÉMILE. The elementary forms of religious life : COPY WITH SOME MARKINGS. Translated and with an introduction by Karen E. Fields. New York: Free Press, 1995, later printing number line starting with 2, lxxiii, 464pp., . "Emile Durkheim (1858-1917), founder of the French school of sociology, produced an astonishing array of books and articles. He wrote both empirical studies and abstract treatises, most famously in his books on suicide and on the division of labor. But his last and greatest book, on a topic of utmost importance, is far less well known in the English-speaking world. Les formes élémentaires de la vie religieuse, published in 1912, received a hasty translation in 1915 that has remained, until now, the only English version available. In this now-classic work, Durkheim analyzes religion into its most fundamental beliefs and rites, including: sacredness, the soul, spirits, and gods; asceticism, sacrifice, communion, and mourning. Through an examination of the world these elements constitute, he is able to argue that religion originates in social life and in the most fundamental capacities of human intellect. His analysis is a model of rich comparison, analytic clarity, and open-minded inquiry. The 1915 translation, by Joseph Ward Swain, was first published in the United States by The Free Press in 1954. At long last, sociologist and religious scholar Karen Fields offers a much-needed new translation, with an illuminating introduction, that will restore Durkheim's work to its original brilliance and gain the respect accorded the very best translations of other key works by this author. At the end of our century, as so many people ask fundamental questions about the sacred, and as social science itself faces a methodological crisis of confidence, there can be no better source of answers, as well as models of analysis, than Durkheim's text." - CONTENTS: Translator's introduction: Religion as an eminently social thing -- Introduction: Subject of the study: religious sociology and the theory of knowledge -- Book one: Preliminary questions.

paperback. Zustand: Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, fresh attractive copy, fine condition. KENNEDY, JOHN F. John F. Kennedy's hidden diary, Europe 1937: the travel journals of JFK and Kirk LeMoyne Billings. Edited with an introduction by Oliver Lubrich. New York: Berghahn Books, 2024, vii, 174pp., . "Presenting the 1937 diaries of John F. Kennedy's tour of Europe, this volume offers insights into his early experiences on a continent under the shadow of Nazism. In 1937, while still a student, John F. Kennedy undertook a grand tour of Europe with his close friend and travelling companion, Lem Billings. On this journey he began to keep a diary which is reproduced here in full and provides an unadulterated account of his thoughts and feelings. Superficially, it presents a picture of two young men enjoying their summer, sightseeing, going to the movies, bars and night clubs; but behind this we find, in Kennedy's political observations and encounters, the looming shadow of Nazism. In retrospect there are blind spots and misjudgments, but also insights of great topicality, for example on populism, and propaganda and its potent effects. On this trip and during his later travels in Germany, Kennedy engaged with the crucial questions of his later presidency: How does a dictatorship work? How is an alternative concept of society to be countered? And how can an impending war be averted? Kennedy's European and Russia policy and also his famous Berlin speech of 1963 ("Ich bin ein Berliner") are to be understood against this background. In addition to numerous archive photographs, this volume contains Kennedy's complete diary of his 1937 trip to Europe and, as a counterpart, the 'Scrapbook' of Lem Billings who documented it from his perspective". - Billings, K. Lemoyne, 1917-1981. ISBN 9781805392286.
