Maurice and Therese: The Story of a Love
As Saint Therese lay dying in the Carmel of Lisieux, she overheard a conversation that amused her. Outside her window, two nuns were discussing what they could write in her obituary that could possibly be of any interest, since the twenty-four-year-old nun had never done anything worth noting. Therese was pleased, for she had always kept a low profile. With the posthumous publication of her spiritual autobiography in 1898, however, that low profile would vanish instantly. She became one of the most beloved saints of all time, and her influence will expand dramatically because of Pope John Paul II's declaration that she is a Doctor of the Church. Amid growing interest in her writings comes the collected correspondence between her and a humble young seminarian, Maurice Belliere. Though they never met in person, they exchanged twenty-one letters that opened a window on the heart of Saint Therese that would have remained forever closed had Maurice not written to the Mother Superior at the convent asking for a nun to pray for him. The Mother Superior chose Therese, and in these conversational letters the Little Flower reveals herself in a way that we would never have known from her autobiography. In his accompanying text, Bishop Patrick Ahern expertly leads the reader into the worlds of Maurice and Therese and reveals the full beauty of this saint's spirituality. "In his balanced, insightful narrative, Bishop Ahern avoids the pitfalls of hagiography: He gives us no plaster saint, but a full-bodied portrait, full of shadows and light. The reader is left with a sense of the sheer divine mystery of the love and suffering?in every sense the passion?of these two young people touched by God. It is a most timely book for a secular age; it is also a gift." --Charles Scribner III"A beautiful and inspiring story; truly a book about a saint for sinners." --Mary Higgins Clark"A marvelous book. Perhaps I knew Therese as a saint before I read her letters to Maurice and his to her; I did not know her as a woman. Now she fascinates me more than ever."--John Cardinal O'Connor

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte, Note: 1,7, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universit t Bonn (Institut f r Politische Wissenschaft und Soziologie), Veranstaltung: bung, 12 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung wird mitunter die gesteigerte Bedeutung der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Werk Hannah Arendts vor dem Hintergrund der Terroranschl ge vom 11. September 2001 betont. Oft liegt dabei, was durchaus nahliegend ist, der Schwerpunkt auf Arendts Hauptwerk "Elemente und Urspr nge totaler Herrschaft." Dieses gestiegene Interesse an Hannah Arendt l sst es sinnvoll erscheinen sich auch mit ihrem anderen Hauptwerk, "Vita Activa oder Vom t tigen Leben," verst rkt auseinanderzusetzen. Zu eben dieser Auseinandersetzung will die vorliegende Arbeit einen Beitrag leisten. Zweck dieser Untersuchung soll die Auseinandersetzung mit zwei in der wissenschaftlichen Publizistik zu findenden *esen sein. Die erste dieser *esen ist die Dolf Sternbergers gem welcher das Denken Hannah Arendts seinen Ursprung nicht, wie von ihr selbst in ihren Werken mitunter angedeutet, im platonischen sondern vielmehr im aristotelischen Denken hat. Die andere *ese ist eine Lesart des arendtschen Denkens welche von Margaret Canovan stammt, und welche unter anderem auch von Richard J. Bernstein vertreten wird, nach der der Ursprung der politischen Philosophie Hannah Arendts nicht in ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit der antiken politischen Philosophie sondern in der Erfahrung des Totalitarismus liegt. ...]

Den här boken är en hyllning till skönlitteraturens rikedom och till den sociologiska fantasin. Skönlitteraturen illustrerar samhällsvetenskapliga kärnresonemang, den väcker nya frågor om människans existentiella villkor och den sprider nytt ljus över vårt sätt att se på världen. Men trots att samhällsvetenskapen kan sägas ha uppstått under samma epok som den moderna litteraturen, och trots att de har fascinationen inför samhället och det s­ociala samspelet gemensamt, så har skönlitteraturen märkligt nog inte någon naturlig plats i samhällsvetarens verktygslåda. Sociologi genom litteratur tjänar både som en reflektion över samhällsvetenskapens egenart och som en inbjudan till samhällsvetare att använda skönlitteraturen som ett fönster mot den sociala verkligheten. Bokens redaktörer, Christofer Edling och Jens Rydgren, är professorer i sociologi vid Lunds respektive Stockholms universitet. Författarna representerar flera generationer av i dag verksamma svenska sociologer.

Här är en grundbok om arbetslivet, en bok om arbete, organisation, personal och ledning. Den ger en gedigen baskunskap och samtidigt självständiga perspektiv att diskutera i seminarier och bland samhällsintresserade. I grunden finns frågan: Hur ser dagens tendenser i arbetsliv och ekonomi ut, och vad betyder de för arbetets kvalitet och mening, för hälsa, inflytande, och maktrelationer på arbetsmarknaden?Tjugosju forskare från en rad universitet och högskolor och från olika ämnen har samarbetat för att skapa en helhetsbild, som är både perspektivrik och sammanhängande. Teman som produktiv välfärd och solidarisk individualism lyfts fram, liksom demokrati och utvecklande arbeten. Arbete & välfärd ger en empiriskt och teoretiskt grundad bild av det svenska arbetslivet, med historiska och internationella utblickar. Managementstrategier presenteras, och framför allt vad de betyder i människors arbete och liv. Boken är förankrad i såväl arbetsorganisation och arbetsplatser, som i ekonomi och arbetsmarknad i stort. Den svenska modell, som sökt förena värdighet i arbetslivet med välfärd och konkurrenskraft, har ifrågasatts och transformerats. Vi frågar oss nu: Hur robust är denna ”svenska modell” under tryck av globalisering och digitalisering?Bokens föregångare Ledning för alla? var under årtionden kurslitteratur i universitetsutbildningar om personal, organisation och ledarskap i ämnen som sociologi, företagsekonomi, arbetsvetenskap, psykologi och pedagogik, liksom i personalutbildning, facklig utbildning och studiecirklar. Vi räknar med bred användning och hög hållbarhet även för denna helt nyskrivna bok.
