Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Minor crease to DJ flap.; Ancient Greek thought is the essential wellspring from which the intellectual, ethical, and political civilization of the West draws and to which, even today, we repeatedly return. In more than sixty essays by an international team of scholars, this volume explores the full breadth and reach of Greek thought--investigating what the Greeks knew as well as what they thought about what they knew, and what they believed, invented, and understood about the conditions and possibilities of knowing. Calling attention to the characteristic reflexivity of Greek thought, the analysis in this book reminds us of what our own reflections owe to theirs. In sections devoted to philosophy, politics, the pursuit of knowledge, major thinkers, and schools of thought, this work shows us the Greeks looking at themselves, establishing the terms for understanding life, language, production, and action. The authors evoke not history, but the stories the Greeks told themselves about history; not their poetry, but their poetics; not their speeches, but their rhetoric. Essays that survey political, scientific, and philosophical ideas, such as those on Utopia and the Critique of Politics, Observation and Research, and Ethics; others on specific fields from Astronomy and History to Mathematics and Medicine; new perspectives on major figures, from Anaxagoras to Zeno of Elea; studies of core traditions from the Milesians to the various versions of Platonism: together these offer a sense of the unquenchable thirst for knowledge that marked Greek civilization--and that Aristotle considered a natural and universal trait of humankind. With thirty-two pages of color illustrations, this work conveys the splendor and vitality of the Greek intellectual adventure.; Harvard University Press Reference Library; 171.45 X 58.42 X 254 millimeters; 1056 pages.

Sidney Stone Blumenthal (born November 6, 1948) is an American journalist and political operative. He is a former aide to President Bill Clinton; a long-time confidant of Hillary Clinton, formerly employed by the Clinton Foundation; and a journalist, particularly known for his writings about American politics and foreign policy. Over time, Blumenthal became increasingly controversial for his partisan brand of journalism, viewed as an archetype of a new type of journalist who have eroded the divide between the fading boundaries between independent journalism and partisan journalism. After the Clinton presidency, Blumenthal's book, The Clinton Wars, was published, historian Robert Dallek praised the book, opining that "Blumenthal's sprawling 800-page memoir of his four years as a presidential assistant" was a "welcome addition to the literature on Bill Clinton's tumultuous second term." Dallek also wrote that "Blumenthal brings a reporter's keen eye for telling detail and a columnist's talent for considered analysis and unmistakable opinion to his reconstruction of what he calls the Clinton wars." The chronicle of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign and first term draws on the author's experiences as confidant to both the President and the First Lady, and is enriched with previously unpublished revelations about both. Blumenthal's remarkable personal interpretation goes far in explaining the polarizing presence on the national scene. The narrative of Clinton's second term is even more dramatic. Blumenthal takes special note of the battle waged within the media between the President's detractors and his defenders, which he expands into a vivid picture of Washington society torn apart by warring factions. But he does not neglect the wars fought on other fronts--the devastating war in Kosovo; Clinton's political conflicts in the Congress; his crusade to sustain a fiscally sound economic policy that would foster prosperity; and, of course, his struggle against the impeachment charges brought against him. An invaluable history of an extraordinary presidency, and the chronicle of a generation's political odyssey. When in 1997 Bill Clinton appointed Sidney Blumenthal as a senior advisor, the former writer was catapulted into the front lines of the Clinton wars. From his first day in the White House until long after his appearance as the only presidential aide ever to testify in an impeachment trial, Blumenthal acted in or witnessed nearly all the battles of the Clinton years. His major new book 'part history, part memoir' is the first inside account we have of the presidency of William Jefferson Clinton. The Clinton Wars begins in 1987, when Blumenthal first met Bill and Hillary Clinton. His chronicle of Clinton s first presidential campaign and first term draws on his experiences as confidant to both the President and the First Lady, and is enriched with previously unpublished revelations about both. This remarkable personal interpretation goes far in explaining the polarizing nature of Clinton s presence on the national scene. The narrative of Clinton s second term is even more dramatic. Blumenthal takes special note of the battle that was waged within the media between the President's detractors and defenders, which he expands into a vivid picture of Washington society torn apart by warring factions. But he does not neglect the wars fought on other fronts in Kosovo, against Congress, and for economic prosperity. His remarkable boo.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Die Deportation Studies haben sich im letzten Jahrzehnt zu einem interdisziplinären Forschungsfeld entwickelt. Obwohl Deportationen auch in der Schweiz zu einer langen Geschichte des Umgangs von Staat und Behörden mit als unerwünscht kategorisierten Bevölkerungsgruppen gehören, hat dieses Thema in der Schweiz bisher kaum Beachtung gefunden. Vor diesem Hintergrund fokussiert das Themenheft auf die Deportationspraktiken in der Schweiz vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart hinein.Au cours de la dernière décennie, les Deportation Studies se sont établies en tant que champ scientifique interdisciplinaire. Jusqu'à présent en Suisse, et bien que les déportations y représentaient également une composante essentielle de l'attitude de l'État et des autorités vis-à-vis des catégories de population jugées indésirables, le sujet n'avait pas bénéficié d'une grande attention. Dans ce contexte, le cahier thématique se focalise sur les pratiques de déportation en Suisse de la fin du 19e siècle à nos jours.; Zweisprachige Ausgabe.
