This book provides a careful and systematic analysis of Anthony Ascham's career and writings for the first time in English. During the crucial period between the Second Civil War and the establishment of the English Republic, when he served as official pamphleteer of the Parliament and the republican government, Ascham put forward a complex argument in support of Parliament's claims for obedience which drew on the political thought of Grotius, Hobbes, Selden, Filmer and Machiavelli. He combined ideas taken from these authors and turned them into a powerful instrument of propaganda to be deployed in the service of the political agenda of his Independent patrons in Parliament. This investigation of Ascham's works brings together an intellectual analysis of his political thought and an exploration of the interaction between politics, propaganda and political ideas.

In diesem Buch skizziert Anthony Giddens eine radikal-kritische Politik jenseits aller eingefahrenen Denkmuster: Ausgehend von den Begriffen Globalisierung, Enttraditionalisierung und Ungewißheit beleuchtet er die sozialen Revolutionen unserer Zeit, zeigt die Widersprüche konservativer Politik, stellt zwei Theorien der Demokratisierung einander gegenüber und eintwirft ein Programm radikaler Demokratie

Anthony Kenny studierte in Rom und Oxford und lehrte seitdem an verschiedenen Universitäten (u.a. an der University of Chicago und der Stanford University). Veröffentlichungen: Action, Emotion and Will (1963), The Five Ways (1969) und Descartes (1968). Zur Zeit arbeitet er an einer Übersetzung von Wittgensteins nachgelassener Philosophischer Grammatik. Kennys Einführung in die Philosophie Ludwig Wittgensteins wendet sich weniger an die etablierte akademische Philosophie als vielmehr an ein breiteres Publikum von »Laien«, das an allgemeinen sprachphilosophischen Themen interessiert ist. Kenny ist es gelungen, so weit in die moderne Logik einzuführen - und zwar unter weitgehendem Verzicht auf mathematische Symbolik -, daß sich der Leser ohne größere Schwierigkeiten auf diesem Gebiet mit Wittgensteins Werken beschäftigen kann. Das vorliegende Buch ist eines der ersten, das das umfangreiche Œuvre Wittgensteins als ganzes darstellt; sein Wert liegt nicht zuletzt darin, daß es sich ausführlich mit den erst kürzlich publizierten Werken aus Wittgensteins mittlerer Zeit befaßt: mit den Philosophischen Bemerkungen und der Philosophischen Grammatik.

This book writes a performance history of Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare's most ambiguous play, from 1606 to the present. It observes the choices that actors, directors, designers, musicians and adapters have made each time they have brought the play's thoughts on power, race, masculinity, regime change, exoticism, love, dotage and delinquency into alignment with a new present. Informed by close attention to theatre records - promptbooks, stage managers' reports, reviews - it offers in-depth analyses of fifteen international productions by (among others) the Royal Shakespeare Company, Citizens Theatre Glasgow, Northern Broadsides, Berliner Ensemble and Toneelgroep Amsterdam. It ends seeing Shakespeare's black Egyptian Queen Cleopatra - whited-out in performance for centuries - restored to the contemporary stage. Written in a lively and accessible style, this book will be of interest to students, academics, actors, directors and general readers alike.
