Josef Schleich
Josef Schleich war nicht der einzige, der während des nationalsozialistischen Terrors im Dritten Reich verfolgte Menschen ins Ausland gebracht hat, aber er bewerkstelligte dies von 1938 bis 1941 professionell und mithilfe einer durchorganisierten Schlepperorganisation im großen Stil. Tausende Juden wurden von ihm gegen Bezahlung über die Grenze nach Jugoslawien gebracht und damit vor der Vernichtung bewahrt - und das nicht nur unter Duldung, sondern auch im Auftrag der Gestapo. Vor allem die meisten jüdischen Flüchtlinge sahen in ihm die oft einzige Möglichkeit, ihr Leben zu retten. Andere wiederum verurteilen ihn als Erfüllungsgehilfen der Nationalsozialisten. Der Leser möge sich selbst ein Urteil bilden.
The Moral Psychology of Clement of Alexandria
In The Moral Psychology of Clement of Alexandria, Kathleen Gibbons proposes a new approach to Clement’s moral philosophy and explores how his construction of Christianity’s relationship with Jewishness informed, and was informed by, his philosophical project. As one of the earliest Christian philosophers, Clement’s work has alternatively been treated as important for understanding the history of relations between Christianity and Judaism and between Christianity and pagan philosophy. This study argues that an adequate examination of his significance for the one requires an adequate examination of his significance for the other. While the ancient claim that the writings of Moses were re...
Getting and Spending
The developing history of consumption is not so much a separate field, as a prism through which many aspects of social and political life may be viewed. The essays in this collection represent a variety of approaches in Europe and America; yet their commonalities suggest recent directions in the scholarship, raising such themes as consumption and democracy, the development of a global economy, the role of the state, the centrality of consumption to Cold War politics, the importance of the Second World War as a historical divide, the language of consumption, the contexts of locality, race, ethnicity, gender, and class, and the environmental consequences of twentieth-century consumer society. Implicitly, and sometimes explicitly, they explore the role of the historian as social, political, and moral critic. The essays discuss products, corporate strategies, government policies, and ideas about consumption. Unlike other studies of twentieth-century consumption, this book provides international comparisons.
The Western Devaluation of Knowledge
The Western Devaluation of Knowledge is an exploration of the causes and effects of Western cultural changes that have evolved during the past half millennium of industrialization to diminish the value of knowledge as process. Western culture has developed a conceptualization and valuation of knowledge that reverses the traditional knowledge continuum that connects data (information) to understanding. As a result, we displace the subjective and human features of knowledge with automated systems that conforms with information and devalues the knowledge process. This book explains this change as a result of the industrial influences that began to gain strength in the 15th century and continued...
Ps-Athenagoras De Resurrectione
The authorship of De Resurrectione traditionally ascribed to the apologist Athenagoras, and its dating are controversial to this day. Nikolai Kiel proves in this study that the resurrection treatise is pseudonymous. By positioning the text within the intellectual-historical context of early resurrection debates, its origin can be dated to the first half of the 3rd century. The discourse horizon of the discussed tractate has been determined more precisely by means of a reconstruction of the constituent opposing position. Through his interpretative survey of De Resurrectione, the author has advanced the study of apologetic literature from the early patristic Era. Die Verfasserschaft der tradit...
Exemplarity and Chosenness
This study looks at how the philosophies of Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) and Franz Rosenzweig (1886–1929) employ the figures of “exemplarity” and “chosenness” in order to address the tension between the universality of philosophical thinking and the particularity of nations, languages, and individual human experience.
