Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xv, [1], 536, [2] pages. Notes. Illustrations. Index. William J. Cooper Jr. (born October 22, 1940) is an American historian who specializes in the history of the American South, and is regarded as a leading expert on the life of Jefferson Davis. Cooper studi…ed at Princeton University and Johns Hopkins University. After two years of service as an officer in the U.S. Army, he went on to spend his entire academic career at Louisiana State University. He is a past president of the Southern Historical Association William J. Cooper, Jr. is Boyd Professor Emeritus of History at Louisiana State University and the author of numerous books on southern history, including Jefferson Davis, American, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Why has John Quincy Adams been largely written out of American history when he is, in fact, our lost Founding Father? Long relegated to the sidelines of history as the hyperintellectual son of John and Abigail Adams, John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), has never basked in the historical spotlight. Remembered, if at all, as an ineffective president during an especially rancorous time, Adams was humiliated in office after the contested election of 1824, viciously assailed by populist opponents for being both slippery and effete, and then resoundingly defeated by the western war hero Andrew Jackson, whose 1828 election ushered in an era of unparalleled expansion. Aware of this reputation yet convinced that Adams deserves a reconsideration, award-winning historian William J. Cooper has reframed the sixth president's life in an entirely original way, demonstrating that Adams should be considered our lost Founding Father, his morality and political philosophy the final link to the great visionaries who created our nation. As Cooper demonstrates, no one else in his generation, not Clay, Webster, Calhoun, or Jackson, ever experienced Europe as young Adams did, who at fourteen translated from French at the court of Catherine the Great. In fact, Adams's very exposure to the ideas of the European Enlightenment that had so influenced the Founding Fathers, including their embrace of reason, were hardly shared by his contemporaries, particularly those who could not countenance slaves as equal human beings. Such differences, as Cooper narrates, became particularly significant after Adams's failed presidency, when he, along with his increasingly reclusive wife, Louisa Catherine Adams, returned to Washington as a Massachusetts congressman in 1831. With his implacable foe Andrew Jackson in the White House, Adams passionately took up the antislavery cause. Despite raucous opposition from southern and northern politicians, Adams refused to relent, his protests so vehement that Congress enacted the gag rule in the 1830s specifically to silence him. With his impassioned public pronouncements and his heroic arguments in the Amistad trial, a defiant Adams was no longer viewed as a failed president but a national, albeit curmudgeonly, hero, who finally collapsed on the floor of the House chamber in 1848 and died in the capital three days later. Ironically, Adams's death and the extraordinary obsequies produced an outpouring of national, and bipartisan, grief never before seen in the nineteenth century, as if the country had truly lost its last Founding Father. Now, in another fractious age, the courageous life of John Quincy Adams suddenly takes on renewed vigor and meaning, as William J. Cooper's momentous biography so eloquently affirms.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Now capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, Berlin rose from insignificant origins on swampy soil, becoming a city of immigrants over the ages. Through a series of ten vignettes, Mary Fulbrook discusses the periods and regimes that shaped its character whether Prussian militarism; courtly cultu…re and enlightenment; rapid industrialisation and expansion; ambitious imperialism; experiments with democracy; or repressive dictatorships of both right and left, dramatically evidenced in the violence of World War and genocide, and then in the Wall dividing Cold War Berlin. This book also presents Berlin's distinctive history as firmly rooted in specific places and sites. Statues and memorials have been erected and demolished, plaques displayed and displaced, and streets named and renamed in recurrent cycles of suppression or resurrection of heroes and remembrance of victims. This vivid and engaging introduction thus reveals Berlin's startling transformations and contested legacies through ten moments from critical points in its multi-layered history. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Amsterdam University Press, Amsterdam, 2014. 112p. Paperback. 'Corporal punishment is often seen as a litmus test for a society's degree of civilization. Its licit use purports to separate modernity from premodernity, enlightened from barbaric cultures. As Geltner argues, however, neither did the infliction of bodily pain typify… earlier societies nor did it vanish from penal theory, policy, or practice. Far from displaying a steady decline that accelerated with the Enlightenment, physical punishment was contested throughout Antiquity and the Middle Ages, its application expanding and contracting under diverse pressures. Moreover, despite the integration of penal incarceration into criminal justice systems since the nineteenth century, modern nation states and colonial regimes increased rather than limited the use of corporal punishment. Flogging Others thus challenges a common understanding of modernization and Western identity and underscores earlier civilizations' nuanced approaches to punishment, deviance, and the human body. Today as in the past, corporal punishment thrives due to its capacity to define otherness efficiently and unambiguously, either as a measure acting upon a deviant's body or as a practice that epitomizes - in the eyes of external observers - a culture's backwardness. (Publisher's information). 'Brilliant! A short, sharp, and often shocking corrective to conventional penal history and western cultural categories. Geltner's little book mobilizes an abundance of comparative evidence to challenge our historical understanding of bodily punishment and to point up the invidious cultural uses of that history. An object lesson in scholarly provocation.' (DAVID GARLAND, New York University).

Zustand: Nuevo. El gran historiador Jonathan Israel, autor de la trilogía La ilustración radical (2001), Enlightenment Contested (2006) y Democratic Enlightenment (2011), una monumental obra que ha revolucionado la interpretación de la Ilustración, nos ofrece en este libro una síntesis de las casi 3000 páginas de su trilogía. En… Una revolución de la mente, Israel saca a la luz la importancia de los autores de la Ilustración radical (Diderot, Holbach, Helvétius, etc.), su decisiva influencia en las revoluciones subsiguientes (norteamericana, francesa, etc.) y su enorme aportación a la configuración de nuestras propias ideas, las del mundo moderno. Esta revolución de la mente de las décadas de 1760 y 1770 fue sencillamente afirma el autor uno de los cambios más grandes y decisivos de toda la historia de la humanidad . Jonathan Israel (Londres, 1946) es profesor de historia moderna en el Instituto de Estudios Avanzados de Princeton y probablemente el más destacado estudioso actual de la Ilustración. Como escribe Daniel Bell, la obra de Israel es actualmente la historia de la Ilustración más monumental y exhaustiva escrita jamás . Una revolución de la mente, basado en unas conferencias pronunciadas en Oxford en 2008 en memoria de Isaiah Berlin, es una síntesis fascinante y muy accesible de la monumental obra de Israel sobre la Ilustración y la Revolución francesa. Israel tiene razón al hacer hincapié en la importancia de este movimiento intelectual [.]. Su libro plantea la cuestión de por qué la Ilustración radical ha sido malinterpretada u ocultada durante tanto tiempo [.]. Tenemos suerte de que un historiador de la categoría de Israel se haya hecho cargo de este asunto y haya escrito una amena introducción (Harper s Bazaar).

"It might be surprising to the writers of the classic texts of the Enlightenment and the early proponents of secularism to learn that their ideas and values…are still contested in the twenty-first century especially in the United States, the first polity to embrace them and put them into practice. In light of the reemergence of explicitly religious politics, the current generation of university students finds itself facing a situation in which the clash of religious ideas and beliefs is a crucial factor shaping the contemporary world."

Hardcover. First edition. First printing [stated]. 153, [7] p. Illustrations. Notes and Acknowledgements. Bibliographic Note. Introduction by Peter Gay. Captions by Rita Ransohoff. A few days before the Freud family fled Vienna and the Nazis in 1938, a gifted young amateur photographer named Edmund Engelman was able to make a co…mplete, room-by-room photographic record of the home and offices in which Sigmund Freud had lived and worked for forty years. The complete Engelman photographs were published here for the first time. From Wikipedia: "Sigmund Freud (born Sigismund Schlomo Freud; 6 May 1856 23 September 1939) was an Austrian neurologist who became known as the founding father of psychoanalysis. Freud qualified as a doctor of medicine at the University of Vienna in 1881, and then carried out research into cerebral palsy, aphasia and microscopic neuroanatomy at the Vienna General Hospital. He was appointed a university lecturer in neuropathology in 1885 and became a professor in 1902. In creating psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association (in which patients report their thoughts without reservation and in whichever order they spontaneously occur) and discovered transference (the process in which patients displace onto their analysts feelings derived from their childhood attachments), establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud s redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory. His analysis of his own and his patients' dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression as well as for elaboration of his theory of the unconscious as an agency disruptive of conscious states of mind. Freud postulated the existence of libido, an energy with which mental processes and structures are invested and which generates erotic attachments, and a death drive, the source of repetition, hate, aggression and neurotic guilt. In his later work Freud drew on psychoanalytic theory to develop a wide-ranging interpretation and critique of religion and culture. Psychoanalysis remains influential within psychotherapy, within some areas of psychiatry, and across the humanities. As such it continues to generate extensive and highly contested debate with regard to its therapeutic efficacy, its scientific status and as to whether it advances or is detrimental to the feminist cause. Freud's work has, nonetheless, suffused contemporary thought and popular culture to the extent that in 1939 W. H. Auden wrote, in a poem dedicated to him: "to us he is no more a person / now but a whole climate of opinion / under whom we conduct our different lives"." From Wikipedia: "Peter Gay (born June 20, 1923) is Sterling Professor of History Emeritus at Yale University and former director of the New York Public Library's Center for Scholars and Writers (1997 2003). Gay received the American Historical Association's (AHA) Award for Scholarly Distinction in 2004. He is the author of more than twenty-five books, including The Enlightenment: An Interpretation, a multi-volume award winner; Weimar Culture: The Outsider as Insider (1968), a bestseller; and the widely translated Freud: A Life for Our Time (1988). Peter Gay was born in Berlin, Germany in 1923 and emigrated to the United States in 1941. From 1962 to 1969 he was Professor of History at Columbia University. He joined Yale University s History Department as Professor of Comparative and Intellectual European History in 1969, and was named Sterling Professor of History in 1984."

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A superb book' Financial Times, Books of the YearAdam Smith is now widely regarded as 'the father of modern economics' and the most influential economist who ever lived. But what he really thought, and what the implications of his ideas are, remain fiercely contested. Was he an eloquent advo…cate of capitalism and the freedom of the individual Or a prime mover of 'market fundamentalism' and an apologist for inequality and human selfishness Or something else entirely Jesse Norman's brilliantly conceived book gives us not just Smith's economics, but his vastly wider intellectual project. Against the turbulent backdrop of Enlightenment Scotland, it lays out a succinct and highly engaging account of Smith's life and times, reviews his work as a whole and traces his influence over the past two centuries.But this book is not only a biography. It dispels the myths and debunks the caricatures that have grown up around Adam Smith. It explores Smith's ideas in detail, from ethics to law to economics and government, and the impact of those ideas on thinkers as diverse as Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek. Far from being simply an economist, Adam Smith emerges as one of the founders of modern social psychology and behavioural theory. Far from being a doctrinaire 'libertarian' or 'neoliberal' thinker, he offers a strikingly modern evolutionary theory of political economy, which recognises the often complementary roles of markets and the state.At a time when economics and politics are ever more polarized between left and right, this book, by offering a Smithian analysis of contemporary markets, predatory capitalism and the 2008 financial crash, returns us to first principles and shows how the lost centre of modern public debate can be recreated. Through Smith's work, it addresses crucial issues of inequality, human dignity and exploitation; and it provides a compelling explanation of why he remains central to any attempt to defend, reform or renew the market system.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In Crucible of Light, Elizabeth Drayson pulls together the epic interwoven history of the Muslim and Christian worlds over an 800-year span, taking in the conquest and re-conquest of Spain, the meteoric rise of Arabo-Norman Sicily, the Ottoman renaissance of the 16th to 18th centuries, the ebb… and flow of Balkan history and the fate of contested islands like Cyprus and Malta, with their very different outcomes.Focusing on major turning points, individual stories and key places, from Mecca to Cordoba, from Damascus to Venice, and from Vienna to Istanbul, Drayson tracks the themes that unite us - classical learning preserved in Islamic libraries, the enduring influence of Moorish architecture and design, the food we share, the goods we have traded and the continuing discourse between individuals and cultures that has permeated Europe's history and shaped its borders.Drayson also explores the growing dialogue between Muslims and Christians across Europe today, a dialogue prefigured in the history of medieval and early modern Europe, in which harmony and enlightenment rise above perennial conflicts. These ideas challenge the way contemporary European identity is defined and point to the vital impact of Islamic civilization upon the continent.Surprisingly few people are aware of how much Europe owes to its Islamic heritage except via pockets of tourism, and this book aims to correct that while exploring the endless complexities that this vexed relationship throws up. At a time when Islam is so narrowly identified with terrorism and migration in Europe it is a necessary corrective.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 592 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The French Revolution was not a linear path from tyranny to liberty-it was a contested process where ideological commitments collided with institutional breakdown, producing both democratic aspirations and systematic terror. This book examines how re…volutionary actors navigated the gap between Enlightenment ideals and the practical realities of dismantling an absolute monarchy while defending against external threats.Drawing on legislative debates, pamphlets, eyewitness accounts, and administrative records, the narrative traces how revolution radicalized through stages: constitutional monarchy, republican experiment, and Terror. The analysis explores how competing visions of liberty-natural rights versus collective security-justified escalating violence. Revolutionary tribunals, mass executions, and civil war emerged not as betrayals of principles but as logical outcomes when radical egalitarianism encountered perceived enemies and resource scarcity.The book explores how ordinary people experienced revolution: peasants seizing land, sans-culottes demanding bread, provincial communities resisting Parisian authority. Through analysis of trial records, popular petitions, and regional responses, it reveals tensions between revolutionary rhetoric and lived consequences. Relevant for understanding how political movements transform when ideological purity confronts governance challenges, and how regimes justify violence through claims of defending revolution itself.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book redresses a misunderstanding in the history of biblical interpretation. Hoon J. Lee provides the first study of the biblical accommodation debate of the Enlightenment. The heavily contested doctrine spurred numerous biblical scholars, theol…ogians, and philosophers to debate the nature of divine revelation communicated through human words. As biblical accommodation was coupled with historical criticism, the participants in this literary debate fought over the authority, inspiration, and inerrancy of the Bible. Examining the wide range of writing on the doctrine of accommodation, Lee surveys the Dutch discussion of accommodation that leads up to the German debate. In doing so, he provides the historical development of Augustinian and Socinian accommodation.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Often hailed as the 'first freedom,' free speech is the bedrock of democracy, the enemy of tyranny, and the gateway to enlightenment. Research reveals a strong correlation between freedom of speech and democracy, innovation, and advancements in human rights, as well as reductions in conflict…, corruption, and discrimination. But for all its benefits, free speech remains a challenging, controversial, and often counterintuitive principle, easily subject to erosion in times of social and political upheaval. And today, in democracies and authoritarian states around the world, freedom of speech is now on the retreat. In Free Speech, Jacob Mchangama traces the long, contested history of a powerful idea, beginning with its origins in the intellectual ferment of classical Athens, where it enabled the development of the world's first democracy. Through captivating stories of defenders of free speech throughout history, from the eighth century 'Abbåasid caliph Abåu Ja'far al-Manòsåur to the anti-lynching crusader Ida B. Wells, Mchangama reveals how the free exchange of knowledge and ideas underlies all scientific and literary achievement, and how it has enabled the advancement of civil rights across the globe. Indeed, he argues, freedom of speech has far more often served the cause of the oppressed than the cause of the oppressors. Yet the temptation to restrict speech, too, is a historical constant, and Mchangama explores how elite entrenchment and anxiety about new technologies can lead even the most dedicated defenders of liberty down this dangerous path. Meticulously researched and deeply humane, Free Speech demonstrates just how much humanity has gained from this essential principle - and just how much we stand to lose if we allow it to erode'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There can be little doubt that John Calvin and Karl Barth belong to the first rank of great theologians of the Church and both continue to exert profound influence on friend and foe alike. Both were theologians whose writings have particularly helped to shape the world of Reformed theology. H…istorically, there can be little doubt that Calvin's influence on Reformed doctrine has been much greater than that of Barth, and this continues to be so in the present day. In contract, Barth's Reformed credentials have at times been questioned - not least because of his distinctive reformulation of the doctrines of election and atonement. This raises the question: can there be a fruitful dialogue or engagement between those who seek to maintain the traditional, Calvin-orientated stance of the Reformed faith and those who are persuaded of the value of Barth's reconstruction of Reformed theology This book offers an opportunity to assess how Calvin and Barth might help carry the mantle of Reformed theology into the future. Doctrinal areas of focus: the sacraments, the nature of atonement, and scripture.'This set of well-informed, lively essays on Calvin, Barth and the Reformed tradition will stimulate their readers to a fresh appreciation of these great thinkers and the stream of church and theological life to which they both belong.'John Webster; Professor of Systematic Theology; University of Aberdeen'The much contested relationship between Barth and Calvin, and between both and what is commonly termed ''Reformed Theology'', here receives careful and focused discussion. While unlikely to satisfy the prejudiced, these nuanced and scholarly essays represent a welcome contribution to serious debate that will stimulate and inform (n a context that too often has issued in more friction than illumination).'John E. Colwell, Tutor in Christian Doctrine and Ethics, Spurgeon's College, London'While there is not shortage of books on Calvin and Barth, and while studies of Barth frequently note his relationship to the Reformed tradition in general Calvin in particular, the production of a volume devoted to their relationship within the wider Reformed context represents a genuine contribution to the field. The volume is welcome as an attempt to relate Calvin and Barth in an historically informed and nuanced fashion, and proceeds by way of detailed study of the two thinkers' take on a select but significant number of theological topics.'Ian A.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Human Dignity: Its Roots and Challenges in Western Thought is a bold reappraisal of the concept of human dignity through the lens of Catholic tradition. Drawing on the biblical notion that human beings are made in the image and likeness of God (Imago Dei), John Loughlin traces the development… of this idea from antiquity to modernity. He examines key moments of continuity and rupture-from the Church Fathers to the Renaissance, the Reformation to Enlightenment secularism, and 20th-century renewal to today's contested bioethical landscape. Integrating theology, philosophy, and political thought, the book engages contemporary moral debates while presenting a constructive Catholic anthropology. This is a timely and provocative contribution for scholars, students, and general readers concerned with the future of human dignity in a fragmented world.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The past three decades have witnessed a significant transatlantic and trans-disciplinary resurgence of interest in the early nineteenth-century Protestant theologian and philosopher, Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834). As the first major Christian…thinker to theorize religion in a post-Enlightenment context and re-conceive the task of theology accordingly, Schleiermacher holds a seminal place in the histories of modern Christian thought and the modern academic study of religion alike. Whereas his 'liberalism' and humanism have always made him a controversial figure among theological traditionalists, it is only recently that Schleiermacher's understanding of religion has become the target of polemics from Religious Studies scholars keen to disassociate their discipline from its partial origins in liberal Protestantism. Schleiermacher, the Study of Religion, and the Future of Theology documents an important meeting in the history of Schleiermacher studies at which leading scholars from Europe and North America gathered to probe the viability of key features of Schleiermacher's theological and philosophical program in light of its contested place in the study of religion.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Are Europe's 'Christian values' under threat Can religion be a pillar of identity and culture What will be the fate of Christianity in Europe In this short but bracing book, Olivier Roy traces the Church's long battle against a tide of secularization in Europe. Since the Enlightenment, religion has…been losing ground as the source of moral norms. But while the question of truth was contested, Christian values continued to define law and social life in even the most secular and anti-clerical countries--until the 1960s. Ever since, the Church has been swept into a new war of values, reduced to struggling over abortion and same-sex marriage. Mired in scandal, the Church's authority is crumbling, while populist demands pave the way for the final secularization of religion as part of 'national culture'. From one of the most acute observers of our times, 'Is Europe Christian ' represents a persuasive and novel vision of religion's place today.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -A major new biography of Maria Theresa, the formidable Habsburg Empress Maria Theresa was the single most powerful woman in eighteenth-century Europe. At the age of just twenty-three she succeeded to the Habsburg domains only to find them contested by almost every power in Europe. Over the next forty… years, she became a fierce leader and opponent, as well as a devoted wife and mother to sixteen children. In this engrossing biography, Richard Bassett traces Maria Theresa's life and complex legacy. Drawing on hitherto unpublished sources, Bassett reveals her keen sense of moderation and tolerance, innovative ideas on free trade and finance, and studied reluctance to resort to policies of territorial expansion. Yet Maria Theresa's modernisation policies were not entirely progressive. Antisemitism and an enduring suspicion of Protestantism greatly affected the lives of her subjects. This is a gripping study of one of the world's most influential leaders, revealing how Maria Theresa confounded gendered expectations and left a lasting mark on Europe.Petersen Buchimport GmbH, Weidestraße 122 a, 22083 Hamburg 502 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 1789, France erupted in revolution that would reshape political consciousness across continents. What began as fiscal crisis and aristocratic resistance transformed into radical reconstruction of society, declaring universal rights while unleashin…g unprecedented violence. This history examines how revolutionary ideas-liberty, equality, popular sovereignty-emerged from Enlightenment philosophy and political crisis to redefine the relationship between citizens and state.Drawing on legislative debates, pamphlets, personal correspondence, and eyewitness accounts, the narrative traces the revolution's escalating radicalism. The Estates-General became the National Assembly, abolishing feudal privileges and proclaiming the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. Constitutional monarchy gave way to republic. The Terror institutionalized violence in defense of revolutionary virtue. War with European monarchies accelerated internal conflict. Factions competed for power-Girondins, Jacobins, sans-culottes-each claiming to embody popular will.The book explores key turning points: the storming of the Bastille, the march on Versailles, the king's flight and execution, Robespierre's rise and fall, the Thermidorian Reaction. It examines revolutionary institutions-citizen armies, revolutionary tribunals, the calendar reform, dechristianization campaigns-and how ordinary people experienced upheaval through food shortages, assignat inflation, and constant political mobilization.Beyond France's borders, revolutionary principles inspired independence movements, constitutional reforms, and debates about natural rights that continue shaping modern politics. Yet the revolution's legacy remains contested-democracy and dictatorship, emancipation and exclusion, reason and fanaticism intertwined throughout its tumultuous decade.
