This book comprises a series of workshops and clinics where theory and practical issues concerning quantitative epidemiological issues are addressed. It is not intended as a textbook, but as an aid to self training. The book contains detailed examples from the field: answers are given to questions.…

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 reconsideration 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.…

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 distinguished 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.…

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 - 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 der 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.…
