Kant: A Biography

Kant: A Biography

Manfred Kuehn

Cambridge University Press
2002
pokkari
This is the first full-length biography in more than fifty years of Immanuel Kant, one of the giants amongst the pantheon of Western philosophers as well as the one with the most powerful and broad influence on contemporary philosophy. It is well known that Kant spent his entire life in an isolated part of Prussia living the life of a typical university professor. This has given rise to the view that Kant was a pure thinker with no life of his own, or at least none worth considering seriously. In this biography, Manfred Kuehn debunks that myth once and for all. Taking account of the most recent scholarship Professor Kuehn allows the reader (whether interested in philosophy, history, politics, German culture, or religion) to follow the same journey that Kant himself took in emerging as a central figure in modern philosophy.

The Subject and the Text

The Subject and the Text

Manfred Frank

Cambridge University Press
1998
sidottu
The work of the German philosopher Manfred Frank has profoundly affected the direction of the contemporary debate in many areas of philosophy and literary theory. This present collection, first published in 1998, brings together some of his most important essays, on subjects as diverse as Schleiermacher's hermeneutics, the status of the literary text, and the response to the work of Derrida and Lacan. Frank shows how the discussions of subjectivity in recent literary theory fail to take account of important developments in German Idealist and Romantic philosophy. The prominence accorded language in literary theory and analytic philosophy, he claims, ignores key arguments inherited from Romantic hermeneutics, those which demonstrate that interpretation is an individual activity never finally governed by rules. Andrew Bowie's introduction situates Frank's work in the context of contemporary debates in philosophy and literary theory.

The Quest for Evolutionary Socialism

The Quest for Evolutionary Socialism

Manfred B. Steger

Cambridge University Press
1997
sidottu
The Quest for Evolutionary Socialism uses Eduard Bernstein’s life and works as the basis for an examination of the interactions between European social democratic politics and socialist political ideas. It is thus a timely response to the need for a new, comprehensive biography of Bernstein, the German ‘Father of Marxist Revisionism’. Professor Steger incorporates recent academic developments and addresses current debates on the ‘End of Socialism’ resulting from the collapse of Marxism-Leninism and the chronic ailments of European social democracy. This study is set within the historical context of the European labor movement and thus Steger interprets Bernstein’s ‘Evolutionary Socialism’ as an ethically-motivated quest for liberty, solidarity and distributive justice. Steger stresses that the future of social democracy depends on its ability to heed Bernstein’s call for critical self reflection and to reorientate toward more liberal ideals.

This is the story of the Holocaust in which a young German Jew is given power, trained for its exercise and engages the enemy. He was a member of the highly secret commando troop created by Lord Mountbatten and Prime Minster Churchill for in depths reconnaissance, patrols and battle field interrogation. He fought back not as a last stand but as part of the Allied Armies which in eleven months broke through the Hitler's Atlantic Wall, liberated France, Belgium and Holland and met the Russian army half a way across Germany. At the end of the war he found his parents in the concentration camp of Terezin which had been liberated by the Russians two days before. He describes his service in the Military Government and his participation in the preparation of the Nuremberg trials as the deputy commander of an Intelligent Section of a prison camp for high ranking Nazis and his post-war life up to graduating with a Master Degree in Chemical Engineering from M.I.T.

John Wesley's Social Ethics

John Wesley's Social Ethics

Manfred Marquardt; John E. Steely; W. Stephen (TRN) Gunter

Abingdon Press
1992
pokkari
This volume, first published in German in 1976, still stands as the most definitive, comprehensive treatment of John Wesley's social ethics. John Wesley's Social Ethics offers a balanced treatment that dispels notions that Wesley can easily be categorized as only an evangelist or only a social reformer. It demonstrates that Wesley's theological and spiritual concerns were catalytic in his social program. It encourages a rethinking of the importance of theology for social ethics in the Methodist tradition.

Laws of the Game

Laws of the Game

Manfred Eigen; Ruthild Winkler

Princeton University Press
1993
pokkari
Using game theory and examples of actual games people play, Nobel laureate Manfred Eigen and Ruthild Winkler show how the elements of chance and rules underlie all that happens in the universe, from genetic behavior through economic growth to the composition of music. To illustrate their argument, the authors turn to classic games--backgammon, bridge, and chess--and relate them to physical, biological, and social applications of probability theory and number theory. Further, they have invented, and present here, more than a dozen playable games derived from scientific models for equilibrium, selection, growth, and even the composition of RNA.
