We’ve been down this road before. We know where it leads. It is that forlorn byway that Friedrich von Hayek called the Road to Serfdom.The good news is we don’t have to go down that road again.

Transcending Reason

The received view of Martin Heidegger’s work is that he leaves little room for reason in the practice of philosophy or the conduct of life. Citing his much-scorned remark that reason is the “stiff-necked adversary of thought”, critics argue that Heidegger’s philosophy effectively severs the tie between reason and normativity, leaving anyone who adheres to his position without recourse to justifying reasons for their beliefs and actions. Transcending Reason...

Valentinian Christianity

Valentinus, an Egyptian Christian who traveled to Rome to teach his unique brand of theology, and his followers, the Valentinians, formed one of the largest and most influential sects of Christianity in the second and third centuries. But by the fourth century, their writings had all but disappeared suddenly and mysteriously from the historical record, as the newly consolidated imperial Christian Church condemned as heretical all forms of what has come to be known as Gnosticism. Only in 1945...

The Theater of the Bauhaus

Few creative movements have been more influential than the Bauhaus, under the leadership of Walter Gropius. The art of the theater commanded special attention. The text in this volume is a loose collection of essays by Oskar Schlemmer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Farkas Moln&#225;r (who in an illustrated essay shares his vision of a total theatre space), with an introduction by Bauhaus leader Walter Gropius. Originally published in German in 1924, Die B&#252;hne im...

Parabolas of Science Fiction

Parabolas of Science Fiction

As a geometric term, parabola suggests a narrative trajectory or story arc. In science fiction, parabolas take us from the known to the unknown. More concrete than themes, more complex than motifs, parabolas are combinations of meaningful setting, character, and action that lend themselves to endless redefinition and jazzlike improvisation. The fourteen original essays in this collection explore how the field of science fiction has developed as a complex of repetitions,...

The essay is a graceful narrative that...

The Peopling of New Connecticut presents primary documents that define Connecticut's complex relationship with this territory, known then as the Western Reserve. Using excerpts from previously published official records, diaries, newspapers, periodical journals,...

East Asian Perspectives on Silence in English Language Education

Silence is a key pedagogical issue in language education. Seen by some as a space for thinking and reflection during the learning process, for others silence represents a threat, inhibiting target language interaction which is so vital during second language acquisition. This book eschews stereotypes and generalisations about why so many learners from East Asia seem either reluctant or unable to speak in English by providing a state-of-the art account of current research into the complex and...

In an era of climate change, mass extinction, and oil shortage, such visions have become increasingly catastrophic, even apocalyptic. Exploring the close relationship between science fiction, ecology, and environmentalism, the essays in Green Planets consider how science fiction writers have been working through this crisis....

The Name I Call Myself

Meet Ari, a young person who doesn’t like to be called by their birth name Edward: “When I think of the name Edward, I imagine old kings who snore a lot.” Throughout this beautiful and engaging picture book, we watch Ari grow up before our very eyes as they navigate the ins and outs of their gender identity; we see how, as a child, they prefer dolls and princess movies, and want to grow out their hair, though their father insists on cutting it short, “because that’s what boys look like.” At...

This field has made stunning progress since the first edition of this book. At that time, there were no known planets outside of our own Solar System (compared with the many thousands...

Lebenskunst nach Leopardi

Leopardis Dichtung und Philosophie werden gemeinhin als ausschließlich oder doch überwiegend pessimistisch beschrieben, obgleich der Autor selbst sich wiederholt gegen eine solche vereindeutigende und reduktive Lektüre aussprach. Tatsächlich lassen sich immer wieder in seinem Werk anti-pessimistische Strategien entdecken, etwa, wenn Leopardi über die Wirkung eines «pezzo di vera, contemporanea poesia» schreibt: «essa aggiunge un filo alla tela brevissima della nostra vita» (Zibaldone 4450).

Péter Nádas' Parallelgeschichten

Der Monumentalroman von Péter Nádas, «Parallelgeschichten», ist eine der großartigsten Zumutungen der neuesten europäischen Literatur. Er ist 2005 auf Ungarisch erschienen und wurde seitdem in viele Sprachen übersetzt. Péter Nádas sucht keine übergeordneten Prinzipien für die textliche Gestaltung der geschichtlichen, räumlichen und psychologischen Komplexität der Welt. Im Hinblick auf die ästhetische Ideologie der Erzählung erweist sich diese Komplexität als schwer durchschaubar. Im vorliegenden...
