Ars Vitae

Despite the flood of self-help guides and our current therapeutic culture, feelings of alienation and spiritual longing continue to grip modern society. In this book, Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn offers a fresh solution: a return to classic philosophy and the cultivation of an inner life. The ancient Roman philosopher Cicero wrote that philosophy is ars vitae, the art of living. Today, signs of stress and duress point to a full-fledged crisis for individuals and communities while current modes of making sense of our lives prove inadequate. Yet, in this time of alienation and spiritual longing, we can glimpse signs of a renewed interest in ancient approaches to the art of living. In this ambitious and timely book, Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn engages both general readers and scholars on the topic of well-being. She examines the reappearance of ancient philosophical thought in contemporary American culture, probing whether new stirrings of Gnosticism, Stoicism, Epicureanism, Cynicism, and Platonism present a true alternative to our current therapeutic culture of self-help and consumerism, which elevates the self's needs and desires yet fails to deliver on its promises of happiness and healing. Do the ancient philosophies represent a counter-tradition to today's culture, auguring a new cultural vibrancy, or do they merely solidify a modern way of life that has little use for inwardness—the cultivation of an inner life—stemming from those older traditions? Tracing the contours of this cultural resurgence and exploring a range of sources, from scholarship to self-help manuals, films, and other artifacts of popular culture, this book sees the different schools as organically interrelated and asks whether, taken together, they can point us in important new directions. Ars Vitae sounds a clarion call to take back philosophy as part of our everyday lives. It proposes a way to do so, sifting through the ruins of long-forgotten and recent history alike for any shards helpful in piecing together the coherence of a moral framework that allows us ways to move forward toward the life we want and need.

Race Experts

Race Experts

Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn

Rowman Littlefield Publishers
2002
pokkari
Controversial and strikingly original, Race Experts looks at how we capsized racial progress in the quest for self-esteem. Now available in paperback, it uncovers the hidden trajectory and terms of our thinking about race relations since the 1960s. Since segregation's dismantling, intense anxiety has surrounded interracial encounters, and a movement has arisen to engineer social relations through the specification of elaborate codes of conduct. Diversity Training in business, multicultural education in schools, and cross-cultural psychotherapy have created a world of prescriptions. Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn carefully examines the teachings of these self-appointed "experts" and offers a bold and searching analysis of the origins of their ideas in the human potential movement and the radical milieu of the 1960s. Casting race primarily as an issue of etiquette or therapy, rather than of justice or equality, has had dire consequences for American life, diverting attention from the deeper problems of poverty, violence, and continued inequality and discrimination. In this sobering analysis, Race Experts illuminates how far away we are from the issues that deserve our attention.

Black Neighbors

Black Neighbors

Lasch-Quinn Elisabeth

The University of North Carolina Press

Professing a policy of cultural and social integration, the American settlement house movement made early progress in helping immigrants adjust to life in American cities. However, when African Americans migrating from the rural South in the early twentieth century began to replace white immigrants in settlement environs, most houses failed to redirect their efforts toward their new neighbors. Nationally, the movement did not take a concerted stand on the issue of race until after World War II. In Black Neighbors , Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn analyzes this reluctance of the mainstream settlement house movement to extend its programs to African American communities, which, she argues, were assisted instead by a variety of alternative organizations. Lasch-Quinn recasts the traditional definitions, periods, and regional divisions of settlement work and uncovers a vast settlement movement among African Americans. By placing community work conducted by the YWCA, black women's clubs, religious missions, southern industrial schools, and other organizations within the settlement tradition, she highlights their significance as well as the mainstream movement's failure to recognize the enormous potential in alliances with these groups. Her analysis fundamentally revises our understanding of the role that race has played in American social reform.

Mill Reef Style

Mill Reef Style

Elizabeth Ballantine; Stephen S. Lash

Derrydale Press
2012
sidottu
In 1946, Robertson “Happy” Ward, the famed mid-century modernist, embarked on the Caribbean’s most successful architectural endeavor: erecting the Mill Reef Club in Antigua, West Indies. At a time when images of nuclear war stalked the American imagination and the great American architects were preoccupied with the grimmer strains of modernism—skyscrapers, airports, and bunkers—Ward rebelled: in the Mill Reef Club, he somehow monumentalized American whimsy. For over sixty years, the Mill Reef Club has been the most celebrated private resort in the Caribbean. Its reputation for prizing grace, rum punches, and unforced intellectualism endures to this day; indeed, this is what people mean by “Mill Reef style.” This achievement is Ward’s; from the first, Ward’s vision was as sociological as it was architectural. All architecture is social engineering. Ward was determined to engineer a society in which pretension was impossible, nature was undeniable, and pleasures were infinite. Mill Reef Style presents an illustrated study of that amazing vision.

Elisabeth - Aus dem Tagebuch eines mennonitischen M dchens im Gran Chaco - ist ein Roman. Inhalte, die einem so begrenzten Raum, wie dem einer Mennonitenkolonie im paraguayischen Chaco entnommen werden, verleiten schnell dazu, Personen und Handlungen identifizieren zu wollen. Das Ansinnen w re m ig, denn keine der hier dargestellten Personen hat es so wirklich gegeben und auch das Dorf ist fingiert. Doch viele Bruchst cke, die auf ihrem Hintergrund einer Wirklichkeit entsprechen, sind hier zu einem geschlossenen Ganzen zusammengef gt worden, um so ein Menschenleben in einer ganz besonderen Gemeinschaft und in einer ganz besonderen Umwelt darzustellen. Damit wird der ganze Ablauf des kurzen Lebens von Elisabeth auf seine Weise dann wieder Realit t. Elisabeth Unruh bl ht in der ihr zugemessenen Zeitspanne unter den religi sen, sozialen und politischen Verh ltnissen ihrer Gemeinschaft, ihrer Gemeinde und der Weltlage auf, bl ht und verbl ht, wie die K nigin der Nacht im Chacobusch. Das Leben eines mennonitischen M dchens in einer mennonitischen Gesellschaft, verzahnt mit dem Weltgeschehen, das ist der reale Hintergrund dieses Romans. Elisabeth w chst in dem Spannungsfeld einer Jahrhunderte alten gesellschaftlichen Tradition, die von den religi sen Normen der christlichen Gemeinde mit geformt ist, auf. Sie ist ihr ausgesetzt und ihr junges Leben wird davon bestimmt. Doch es ist bei allen Konflikten der christliche Glaube, der sie durchtr gt und ans Ziel bringt. Die Tagebuchform soll diesem Leben die Unmittelbarkeit verleihen. Dem Verein f r Geschichte und Kultur der Mennoniten in Paraguay ist zu danken, dass er die Herausgabe dieses Buches, dessen Manuskript schon einige Zeit vorliegt, erm glichte.
