Traditionelle und kritische Theorie

Max Horkheimer

Traditionelle und kritische Theorie

Kritische Theorie soll die Gesellschaft emanzipieren, statt sie wie herkömmliche Forschung nur zu erfassen. Die Grundzüge dieser engagierten Wissenschaft skizzierte Horkheimer erstmals in seinem berühmten Aufsatz von 1937 in der «Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung». Das Nachwort hilft, die schwierigen Konsequenzen dieser einfachen Idee nachzuvollziehen. Außerdem wird die wichtigste Kritik an Horkheimers Argumenten sowie deren Weiterentwicklung in der Frankfurter Schule aufgezeigt und das Fortleben...

El último imperio

La identificación de los Estados Unidos de América como imperio es común en la prensa y en el medio académico de hoy. Sin embargo, ya en el siglo XIX, intérpretes adventistas habían identificado ese potencial y habían relacionado esa nación emergente con las profecías apocalípticas. El objetivo de este libro es mostrar de qué modo el proceso de fundación de ese país provee importantes datos para iluminar la interpretación adventista de Apocalipsis 13. Además de esto, aclara el actual panorama...

Zwischen 1700 und 1721 kämpfte Schweden gegen eine gegnerische Allianz aus Russland, Dänemark, Sachsen-Polen und weiteren Staaten um die Vorherrschaft in Osteuropa. Mit seiner ebenso schlagkräftigen wie gefürchteten Armee gelang es König Karl XII. nicht, den schwedischen Großmachtstatus zu halten.

The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (Evolutionary Theory)

The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is Charles Darwin's major work of evolutionary theory. The book concerns the biological aspects of emotional life, and Darwin explores the animal origins of such human characteristics as the lifting of the eyebrows in moments of surprise and the mental confusion which typically accompanies blushing. Darwin's biological approach links emotions to their origins in animal behavior, and allows cultural factors only an auxiliary role in the...

Ireland under Coercion (Vol. 1&2)

This book is a record of things the author saw, and of conversations he had, during a series of visits to Ireland between January and June 1888 made on his return from a sojourn in Rome during the celebration of the Jubilee of His Holiness Leo XIII. These visits were made in quest of light, not so much upon the proceedings and the purposes of the Irish «Nationalists» – with which, on both sides of the Atlantic, he has been tolerably familiar for many years past – as upon the social and economic...
