Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The essays in Explorations of Value are drawn from work first presented at the 20th Conference of Value Inquiry. They are not mere records of conference presentations. The authors have reflected on their initial presentations. They have re-thought arguments in light of discussions at the conf…erence. They have revised their work. All of this has combined to bring fresh ideas on important issues into carefully considered discussions. The nineteen authors of the essays do not share a common viewpoint on all problems of value inquiry. They are certainly not in agreement in their conclusions. Their concerns, however, cluster around a recognizable body of questions. Several of the authors raise fundamental questions on the nature of values and the possibility of giving them an objective status. Some of the authors raise questions about where value inquiry becomes value advocacy. They are also ready to ask whether or not advocacy is in the legitimate purview of philosophers. A number of authors set out to examine conditions of moral practice and of harming or benefiting people in general. Other authors show a concern for juxtaposing moral values and aesthetic values, in some cases to observe similarities, in some, differences. Finally, a few authors focus on particular notions such as forgiveness, intimacy, and love that are central to our lives.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The rhymed chronicles by Pierre de Langtoft and Robert Mannyng, written between c.1305 and 1338, form a unique pair in the history of English literature and historiography. Both were written in the North of England, both deal with the history of the kings of England from Brutus to the death o…f Edward I in July 1307. Yet the differences between them are significant. Langtoft wrote in Anglo-Norman with a specific purpose and a specific audience in mind. Robert Mannyng translated a large part of Langtoft's work into English for a very different kind of audience. Although he stayed close to his source-text in many places, his deviations offer insights into the way the English clergy and the public they addressed viewed themselves, their history and their future.The Matter of Kings' Lives is of interest to social and political historians, especially those interested in the reign of Edward I and Anglo-Scottish relations, and to literary historians who may find that these works have more to offer than has hitherto been realized.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This study explores the relationship between outmigration and gender roles in two villages in North Tapanuli, on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. In a symbolic sense, land and women have always represented security to Toba Batak men as they travelled in search of a livelihood.The main purp…ose of this study is to throw light on the options open to the women staying behind and the adjustments they make, as well as their reasons for making them. The approach followed is an anthropological one. It combines an analysis of actor-oriented perceptions and strategies with an insight into the structural forces that formed the context of migration as it developed from the late nineteenth century through the colonial period until today.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Patrick Modiano (1945-) has published seventeen novels over the past twenty-seven years and is considered one of France's foremost writers. His first three works, dealing principally with the German occupation of France during World War II, are generally considered to have led to a reconsider…ation of the Gaullist myth which endured for twenty-five years after the war. Along with Marcel Ophuls's film, The Sorrow and the Pity, Modiano's novels opened French eyes to the more ambiguous role played during the occupation by the average French citizen. His subsequent novels have continued to probe the relationship between history, memory and fiction. This study will be of interest to readers of French fiction and history as it looks at their relation-ship to memory and shows that the three are inextricably linked in a way that enriches our understanding of our past, whether it be collective or personal. Modiano, while seemingly obsessed with his own past, in fact indicates an opening toward the future by attempting to put the past to rest in his fiction.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What is intrinsic value What is the origin of value Are people always superior to nature This book is a philosophical analysis of the human relationship to the non-human world. It is a pioneering study of the philosophy of nature-conservation in relation to the discussion of intrinsic value.…Vilkka develops a naturalistic or naturocentric theory of value that is based on ethical extensionism and pluralism. Vilkka analyzes natural values and environmental attitudes: zoocentrism, biocentrism, and ecocentrism. This book forms a taxonomy for nature having intrinsic value. The theory of intrinsic value is based on naturocentric and naturogenic values. The book questions the thesis of weak anthropocentrism that denies the existence of naturogenic values. In Vilkka's theory, animals and nature are the origin of value. She defends the existence of zoogenic and biogenic values in the non-human world and discusses the possibility of ecogenic value, nature as a whole having value independent of human or animal minds. Vilkka analyzes the goodness and rights of nature, the problem of priorities, and ecological humanism. A naturocentric recommendation is that the well-being of animals and nature should have priority over human values at least in some real decision contexts. Ecological humanism recommends an attitude of respect for people, animals, and nature. The book includes an extensive glossary, index, and bibliography.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - John Finnis's proposal to rehabilitate Aquinas's natural law theory as an appropriate foundation of legal and moral theory rests on the assumption that Aquinas's theory can be restored by eliminating the mistaken interpretations of subsequent natural law theorists. This book challenges that assumpti…on.After a brief analysis of Aquinas, the theories of Suárez, Grotius, and Pufendorf are investigated. It is argued that their theories are no 'mistakes', but attempts at solving problems inherent in natural law theory. As these attempts all fail, tensions remain, and ultimately lead to the demise of the theory. Finally it is argued that Finnis, running into the same problems, cannot hope to restore Aquinas's theoretical edifice.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume examines the role of the Cambridge Platonist, Henry More, in discrediting certain religious and philosophical movements of the seventeenth century by branding them as 'enthusiastical' (the result of psychological imbalance issuing in impaired judgement and cognition).More's views are dis…tinguished from his 'enthusiastical' opponents -- Alchemists, Quakers, and Mechanical Philosophers -- by looking at the way in which he dialectically employs various speech genres to describe religious meaning and to evoke in his readers attitudes and feelings confirming that meaning.More is presented as offering a consistent ideal of the religiously meaningful life, protecting it from various forms of intellectual corruption. More's paradoxical ways of polemicizing are explained while at the same time the author provides insight into such diverse themes as the connection between Hermeticism, Cartesianism, and religious radicalism.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The resurgence of indigenous cultures and the reappearance of their ancient spiritualities, during the 1990s, is of great interest to social scientists. Several such cultures are featured in this book.The indigenous populations of struggling multi-ethnic 'democracies' in Latin America are demanding…to be integrated into the national mainstream, together with their holistic values of family, economics and ecology. Institutional Christianity is being challenged by indigenous theologies that are critical of both traditional Christianity and liberation theology. While some see here a danger of syncretism, these developments can be experienced as a breath of fresh air.'Much has been said about the Mayas, but they have not been allowed to speak for themselves' (anthropologist Rafael Girardi, 1962). This book is an attempt to allow religious spokespersons from a very ancient and creative civilization to share their faith, which has remained hidden for five centuries.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - L'anaphore est à la mode: il suffit de considérer le nombre d'études qu'on publie les derniers temps sur le sujet pour s'en convaincre. Par rapport à ce flot de publications, les études réunies dans ce recueil ont pour particularité de s'intéresser au rapport qu'entretient l'anaphore non pas…avec la cohérence, mais avec l'incohérence.La première série d'études s'intéresse au pronom il lorsque celui-ci est employé pour désigner des référents en transformation (les référents évolutifs) ou pour marquer l'hétérogénéité discursive et les changements d'univers de croyance associés, et pose le problème de la notion de focalisation.La deuxième série concerne l'emploi anaphorique des syntagmes nominaux définis, dont le statut anaphorique même est remis en question. Leur interprétation est en effet plutôt indirecte, puisqu'elle exige la récupération d'un cadre. L'accessibilité de celui-ci dépend de facteurs cognitifs et argumentatifs. Les syntagmes sans nom et les syntagmes nominaux démonstratifs posent des problèmes particuliers à cet égard. La dernière série d'analyses porte sur les mécanismes anaphoriques qui sous-tendent les indéfinis (pronoms et adjectifs) même, autre, et tel, qui ont chacun leur fonctionnement anaphorique propre et qui imposent chacun des contraintes spécifiques sur les inférences nécessaires pour récupérer le contexte qui permet de les interpréter. Ce qui pose la question de la définition même de l'anaphore. Faut-il élargir la notion et considérer comme anaphoriques des phénomènes comme le redoublement clitique en bulgare Ou faut-il au contraire la restreindre et distinguer l'anaphore d'autres types de relations (en l'occurrence la relativisation ou les rapports corrélatifs) En dernière analyse, une réponse à ses questions engage la notion de cohérence.This volume is a collection of studies on pronominal and nominal anaphoric expressions. The central question of the volume is how anaphoric expressions contribute to the creation of textual coherence or, even, incoherence. It covers a range of French expressions, from pronomina as such to adjectives such as tel and même as well as nominal expressions. Specific types of anaphora studied include associative and evolutive anaphora, as well as the more formal semantic representation of anaphora. The volume thus finally poses the more general problem of the definition of anaphora as such and its relation with coherence more in particular.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Die hier veröffentlichten Texte Hans Heinrich Eggebrechts gehen auf Vorträge zurück, die er auf Einladung und zu verschiedenen Anlässen gehalten hat. Ihre faszinierende Wirkung erklärt sich zu einem erheblichen Teil aus der bewußt eingenommenen Ich-Haltung, die den Kontakt zu einem konkreten…Gegenüber sucht und dieses Gegenüber zum Lesen, zur gedanklichen Auseinandersetzung ermutigt. Musikwissenschaftliches Denken praktiziert hier den Diskurs, denjenigen, der den Leser auch jenseits von Fachgrenzen ernstnimmt, ihn anspricht und ihn dennoch mit seinen ihm eigenen musikalischen Erfahrungen respektiert. Einladend zudem sind die Texte deshalb, weil sie alle auch etwas über die Person Eggebrechts mitteilen, etwas von seinen persönlichen musikalischen Erfahrungen, und weil sie etwas wagen und sich nicht hinter nur schwer zugänglichen Begriffsbarrikaden verschanzen.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An sind Themen wie Gott -Religion - Christentum - Kirche der eigentliche Gegenstand der Theologen. Wenn Philosophen sich dieser Themen annehmen, dann ist ihre Kritik radikaler, grundlegender, oft auch objektiver, weil sie den zu erforschenden Gegenstand aus größerer Distanz betrachten. Nach d…er klassischen Religions- und Kirchenkritik von Philosophen des 19. Jahrhunderts wie Feuerbach, Marx und Nietzsche wäre es jetzt an der Zeit, drei besonders prominente Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts zu diesem Thema zu hören. Aber Bloch, Fromm und Jaspers erfreuen sich zwar eines hohen Bekanntheitsgrades, jedoch ist ihre fundamentale Religions- und Kirchenkritik kaum bekannt, obwohl nicht minder bedeutsam als die der oben genannten Klassiker. Das Buch stellt den Versuch dar, hier Abhilfe zu schaffen und die unerhört wichtigen und interessanten Einsichten von Bloch, Fromm und Jaspers zu den Themen Gott - Religion - Christentum - Kirche aufzudecken und voll zum Tragen zu bringen.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This study investigates the origins of the concept of 'the best of all possible worlds'. It exemplifies the character of modern metaphysics, which thinks mainly in terms of freedom and possibility. The book contains three parts. The first part tries to reconstruct this concept both historically and…systematically; it deals with the concept of possibility beginning with High Scholasticism. The second part investigates the origins of this idea in the Jesuit theory of 'scientia media', which is concerned with human freedom and divine foreknowledge. The third part deals with the question, whether there is any necessity to choose the best - a main theme in late scholastic thought of the 17th century.This investigation of a concept unknown before the time of Leibniz, reveals many new sources and fills a gap in the history of ideas.
