Der Staat bei John Dewey und Carl Schmitt im Vergleich
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Allgemeines und Theorien, Note: 2,7, Bayerische Julius-Maximilians-Universit t W rzburg (Institut f r Politikwissenschaft und Soziologie), Veranstaltung: Politische Theorien der Aufkl rung und Moderne, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Zeitgleich mit dem Erscheinen von Heideggers Hauptwerk "Sein und Zeit" ver ffentlichte sein Zeitgenosse Carl Schmitt sein Werk "Der Begriff des Politischen", in dem er unter anderem seine eigene Staatstheorie entwickelte. Schmitts Thesen werden bis heute, hnlich wie die Martin Heideggers, kontrovers diskutiert und besprochen. So nennt Esteban Engel in einem Artikel f r die Frankfurter Neue Presse Carl Schmitt in einem Atemzug mit Martin Heidegger und bezeichnet beide als "zentrale NS-Vordenker". Zuerst wird in dieser Arbeit jedoch die Staatstheorie eines weiteren Zeitgenossen Heideggers und Schmitts, John Deweys, beschrieben, bevor auf die Ansichten von Carl Schmitt eingegangen wird, um anschlie end ein Vergleich zwischen beiden Standpunkten zu formulieren. Abschlie end wird ein substantieller Teil von Carl Schmitts Staatstheorie herausgel st und auf die Gegenwart bertragen.

Who was Jake Meissner? Was he a vagabond, a gypsy, a drifter, a searcher, an explorer, a rolling stone, a lost soul, a free spirit, or a teacher? Or was he just a man who enjoyed life to the fullest? Whoever Jake was, he paid the consequences for decisions he made both good and bad, molding him into the person he had become. Jake grew up in northern Colorado in the 1950's and 1960's. Going back to great grandparents on both sides of the family, he was the only one out of a very expansive, multi- generational family, to move outside Colorado. This is the story of Jake and all his moves spanning the time from 1951 - 2015. Jake had been to forty one states, Puerto Rico, and the British Virgin Islands. In Jake's adventurous sixty four years, he had lived in seven states and Puerto Rico. He had also lived in fifteen cities, towns, townships, or villages and sixty two different habitats. Those included: houses, apartments, mobile homes, motor homes, campers, cabins, yurts, hotels, motels, and B&B's. Perhaps you can relate to what life was like in the 1950's as a child, 1960's as a teenager, the 1970's as a college student and all the other decades following Jake's life into 2015. Human nature has many constants. You may gain knowledge of a particular place or learn a valuable lesson. You may also go on a traveling tour to the many places Jake either visited or lived. Jake's story is told in the past tense even though Jake is still on the move. Jake and his wife Jenna are currently in a two and a half year long term care-taking position. When this position comes to an end is Jake's Destination Unknown? In this earthy and captivating tale of human existence, author John Herbst adeptly chronicles the divergent wanderings and multiple lifestyles of spirited character Jake Meissner. John presents Jake's multifaceted sixty-four year life in a unique way that transcends traditional social inhibitions, realistically painting a genuine man struggling to find meaning in a turbulent world. Visit the 1950s and 60s, experiencing up close what Jake's life was like during childhood. Drop into an alternative reality hippie commune. Stand alongside Jake as he hitch-hikes cross country during the radical 1970s. Accompany him as he quietly pursues and captures frogs and photographs alligators in the dismal swamps of central Florida during the 80s. Listen to the story of the dedication ceremony and memorial for the crew of the Crown Point B-17 crash. Feel the rampage of two devastating floods, one in 1976, the other 2013. Realize Jake's adrenaline rush and pounding heart while summiting majestic 14,000 foot mountain peaks. Enjoy personal training with Jake in 2015, sensing his positive mental attitude towards his clients and life. Have fun with Jake Meissner, a man and life vividly presented by storyteller John Herbst.

The Herbalist's Bible: John Parkinson's Lost Classic--82 Herbs and Their Medicinal Uses
Here Julie Bruton-Seal and Matthew Seal have beautifully combined selections from John Parkinson classic book from 1640 with their own modern commentary on how each plant is used today to create a truly one-of-a-kind, comprehensive collection of herbal information old and new. Herbalist to King Charles I, John Parkinson (1567-1650) was a master apothecary, herbalist, and gardener. Famous in his own lifetime for his influential books, his magnum opus, the Theatrum Botanicum, was published in 1640 and ran to 1,766 large pages. The sheer scope and size was perhaps to prove the book's downfall, because while it was much revered--and plagiarized--it was never reprinted and, centuries later, has attained the status of an extremely rare and valuable book. Parkinson was writing at a time when Western herbalism was at its zenith, and his skills as a gardener (from his grounds in Covent Garden) combined perfectly with his passion for science, observation, and historical scholarship. This modern edition features: Agrimony & Hemp AgrimonyBlackthorn, Bugle, and BurnetDaisies and DandelionGoldenrod, Round Ivy, and GroundselLiquourice and LovageMarjoram, Milk Thistle, and MintPimpernel and PoppiesSeaweed and SorrelSt. John's Wort and StrawberryTomato and TribulusWoodruff and YarrowAnd much more Parkinson's clear and lively description of a chosen plant's virtues or healing properties side-by-side with the editor's notes--including copious herbal recipes--make this the perfect book for students and practitioners of herbalism, historians, and gardeners, all of whom will welcome this restoration of Parkinson's lost classic.

Eve’s Herbs

In Contraception and Abortion from the Ancient World to the Renaissance, John M. Riddle showed, through extraordinary scholarly sleuthing, that women from ancient Egyptian times to the fifteenth century had relied on an extensive pharmacopoeia of herbal abortifacients and contraceptives to regulate fertility. In Eve’s Herbs, Riddle explores a new question: If women once had access to effective means of birth control, why was this knowledge lost to them in modern times?Beginning with the testimony of a young woman brought before the Inquisition in France in 1320, Riddle asks what women knew about regulating fertility with herbs and shows how the new intellectual, religious, and legal climate of the early modern period tended to cast suspicion on women who employed “secret knowledge” to terminate or prevent pregnancy. Knowledge of the menstrual-regulating qualities of rue, pennyroyal, and other herbs was widespread through succeeding centuries among herbalists, apothecaries, doctors, and laywomen themselves, even as theologians and legal scholars began advancing the idea that the fetus was fully human from the moment of conception.Drawing on previously unavailable material, Riddle reaches a startling conclusion: while it did not persist in a form that was available to most women, ancient knowledge about herbs was not lost in modern times but survived in coded form. Persecuted as “witchcraft” in centuries past and prosecuted as a crime in our own time, the control of fertility by “Eve’s herbs” has been practiced by Western women since ancient times.
