Paul R e (1849-1901), Philosoph, Arzt und Philanthrop, ist nicht nur Autor der Psychologischen Beobachtungen (1875), des Ursprungs der moralischen Empfindungen (1877), der Entstehung des Gewissens (1885), der Illusion der Willensfreiheit (1885) sowie der 1903 postum ver ffentlichten Philosophie. R e war auch Freund Friedrich Nietzsches, mit dem er die ungl ckliche Liebe zu der russischen Studentin Lou Salom teilte. Sein philosophisches Werk zeigt drei Phasen: Schopenhauerisch gepr gte Anf nge, den Beitrag zur Begr ndung einer positiven Moralwissenschaft und schlie lich den Versuch einer Anwendung von Forschungsresultaten der Neurophysiologie auf die Erkenntnistheorie. Dabei orientierte R e sich am aufkl rerischen Ideal vom Wissen als Werkzeug zur Befreiung. Koh rent entwickelte er ein Programm: Laster und scheinbare Tugenden der Menschheit aufdecken, allen Vorurteilen den Kampf ansagen, den religi sen Glauben, die Moral, das Gewissen, den Staat und das Recht entweihen. Dies alles im Namen einer laizistischen Ethik von Gesellschaftlichkeit und Solidarit t, die das moralische Handeln f r eine einseitige Verpflichtung h lt, die tolerant und wohlwollend ist. Das vorliegende Buch ist der erste Versuch einer umfassenden Rekonstruktion R e'schen Denkens. Es erschlie t den Zugang zu Pers nlichkeit und Werk dieses Philosophen, der sich vor allem nach Ver ffentlichung seiner Gesammelten Werke (2005) wachsenden Interesses erfreut.

This is the first book in English about Domenico Cimarosa, his more than 65 operas and his sacred and secular vocal music, his keyboard music, and his various works for solo instruments and ensembles. This is also the first authoritative book on Cimarosa since an Italian biography published in 1939. Since that earlier tome was published, many important discoveries have come to light. The authors completed most of their research work at the library of the Conservatorio di musica S Pietro a Majella in Naples. Their efforts have uncovered new information on the composer's marriages, wives, children, actual performance locations, dates of first performances of his operas, and his professional appointments and contacts. The first half of the book is devoted to a chronological description of Cimarosa's life and provides background material on the customs of the times and contemporary descriptions of the music conservatories in Naples where Cimarosa studied, as well as those in Venice where he was appointed Maestro. The second part presents an alphabetical listing of Cimarosa's more than 65 operas, including alternate names for those that were produced on different stages under different names. Included with each opera is a simple outline of the plot, the cast of characters and their voice ranges, and basic information about the structure of the music itself.

The book contains extensive appendixes, including discussions of ornamentation and Scarlatti's vocal music, and an updated section of addenda and corrigenda.
