Book Synopsis Creating the Kingdom of Ends by : Christine M. Korsgaard
Download or read book Creating the Kingdom of Ends written by Christine M. Korsgaard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-07-28 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christine Korsgaard has become one of the leading interpreters of Kant's moral philosophy. She is identified with a small group of philosophers who are intent on producing a version of Kant's moral philosophy that is at once sensitive to its historical roots while revealing its particular relevance to contemporary problems. She rejects the traditional picture of Kant's ethics as a cold vision of the moral life which emphasises duty at the expense of love and value. Rather, Kant's work is seen as providing a resource for addressing not only the metaphysics of morals, but also for tackling practical questions about personal relations, politics, and everyday human interaction. This collection contains some of the finest current work on Kant's ethics and will command the attention of all those involved in teaching and studying moral theory.

Book Synopsis Discourse Networks, 1800/1900 by : Friedrich A. Kittler
Download or read book Discourse Networks, 1800/1900 written by Friedrich A. Kittler and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a highly original book about the connections between historical moment, social structure, technology, communication systems, and what is said and thought using these systems - notably literature. The author focuses on the differences between 'discourse networks' in 1800 and in 1900, in the process developing a new analysis of the shift from romanticism to modernism. The work might be classified as a German equivalent to the New Historicism that is currently of great interest among American literary scholars, both in the intellectual influences to which Kittler responds and in his concern to ground literature in the most concrete details of historical reality. The artful structure of the book begins with Goethe's Faust and ends with Vale;ry's Faust. In the 1800 section, the author discusses how language was learned, the emergence of the modern university, the associated beginning of the interpretation of contemporary literature, and the canonization of literature. Among the writers and works Kittler analyzes in addition to Goethe's Faust are Schlegel, Hegel, E. T. A. Hoffman's 'The Golden Pot', and Goethe's Tasso. The 1900 section argues that the new discourse network in which literature is situated in the modern period is characterized by new technological media - film, the photograph, and the typewritten page - and the crisis that these caused for literary production. Along the way, the author discusses the work of Nietzsche, Gertrude Stein, Mallarme;, Bram Stroker, the Surrealists, Rilke, Kafka, and Freud, among others.

Book Synopsis Hebrew in Ashkenaz by : Lewis Glinert
Download or read book Hebrew in Ashkenaz written by Lewis Glinert and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hebrew in Ashkenaz is a pioneering attempt to reverse an age-old academic prejudice against the legitimacy of Ashkenazi Hebrew. Glinert has gathered philosophers, historians, sociologists, and linguists to address such contentious issues as the role of Hebrew in Jewish life and the evolving shape of the language, over the period of one thousand years from the dawn of Ashkenazi life in Germany through contemporary Jewish society in Britain and Russia. This book finally abolishes the myth that Ashkenazi Hebrew was solely a language of religious study and fixed prayer. Instead, it is shown through these essays to be a language with vibrancy and creativity all its own, from which today's Hebrew emerged with remarkably little effort. This study, the first global look at the role of Hebrew in Jewish society, will interest students and scholars of Jewish history, Hebrew, mysticism, and general sociolinguistics and ethnolinguistics.
Book Synopsis Archeologies of Confession by : Carina L. Johnson
Download or read book Archeologies of Confession written by Carina L. Johnson and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern religious identities are rooted in collective memories that are constantly made and remade across generations. How do these mutations of memory distort our picture of historical change and the ways that historical actors perceive it? Can one give voice to those whom history has forgotten? The essays collected here examine the formation of religious identities during the Reformation in Germany through case studies of remembering and forgetting—instances in which patterns and practices of religious plurality were excised from historical memory. By tracing their ramifications through the centuries, Archeologies of Confession carefully reconstructs the often surprising histories of plurality that have otherwise been lost or obscured.
