View Rights PortalMargaret Cavendish was one of the most prolific, complex and misunderstood writers of the seventeenth century. A contemporary of Descartes and Hobbes, she was fascinated by philosophical, scientific and imaginative advances, and struggled to overcome the political and cultural obstacles which threatened to stop her engagement with such discourses. Emma Rees examines how Cavendish engaged with the work of thinkers such as Lucretius, Plato, Homer and Harvey in an attempt to write her way out of the exile which threatened not only her intellectual pursuits but her very existence. What emerges is the image of an intelligent, audacious and intrepid early modern woman whose tale will appeal to specialists and general readers alike. ;
In den in diesem Band enthaltenen Texten wird nicht lediglich über bestimmte Figuren und Trends der zeitgenössischen französischen Philosophie und über deren Verbindung zu Deutschland gesprochen, Waldenfels kommt es vielmehr darauf an, mit solchen französischen Autoren und Texten weiterzudenken, die ihrerseits entscheidende Anregungen der deutschsprachigen Philosophie verdanken.
»Versprechen auf Deutsch« bietet die erweiterte Version der Rede, die Peter Sloterdijk in einer Matinee der Münchner Kammerspiele am Sonntag, dem 10. Dezember 1989, gehalten hat. Es versteht sich von selbst, daß die dramatischen Vorgänge des November 1989 den Bezugsrahmen für sämtliche Aussagen des vorliegenden Textes bilden. Die aktuellen Ergebnisse haben es unvermeidlich gemacht, diese Rede »über« das eigene Land als Rede »an« die deutsche Nation vorzutragen. Eine solche Adressierung folgt nicht so sehr dem fragwürdigen rhetorischen Vorbild Fichtes; sie ergibt sich vielmehr aus den Überlegungen des Autors über den Zusammenhang zwischen Sprache und Nationalität. Die historischen Umstände von 1989 sind nicht weniger bemerkenswert als die von 1808. Aber es liegt heute in der Natur der Sache, daß man sich »an« die Angehörigen einer wieder unruhig gewordenen Nation wenden muß, um etwas »über« die zu sagen.
Ireland and the Renaissance court is an interdisciplinary collection of essays exploring Irish and English courts, courtiers and politics in the early modern period, c. 1450-1650. Chapters are contributed by both established and emergent scholars working in the fields of history, literary studies, and philology. They focus on Gaelic cúirteanna, the indigenous centres of aristocratic life throughout the medieval period; on the regnal court of the emergent British empire based in London at Whitehall; and on Irish participation in the wider world of European elite life and letters. Collectively, they expand the chronological limits of 'early modern' Ireland to include the fifteenth century and recreate its multi-lingual character through exploration of its English, Irish and Latin archives. This volume is an innovative effort at moving beyond binary approaches to English-Irish history by demonstrating points of contact as well as contention.
This volume is the first ever attempt to unite and translate some of the key texts which informed Johan Huizinga's famous study of the Burgundian court, The Waning of the Middle Ages, a work which has never gone out of print. It combines these texts with sources that Huizinga did not consider, those that illuminate the wider civic world that the Burgundian court inhabited and the dynamic interaction between court and city. Through these sources, and an introduction offering new perspectives on recent historiography, the book tests whether Huizinga's controversial vision of the period still stands. Covering subjects including ceremonial events, such as the spectacles and gargantuan banquets that made the Burgundian dukes the talk of Europe, the workings of the court, and jousting, archery and rhetoric competitions, the book will appeal to students of late medieval and early modern Europe and to those with wider interests in court culture, ritual and ceremony.
Embryo research, cloning, assisted conception, neonatal care, saviour siblings, organ transplants, drug trials - modern developments have transformed the field of medicine almost beyond recognition in recent decades and the law struggles to keep up. In this highly acclaimed and very accessible book, now in its sixth edition, Margaret Brazier and Emma Cave provide an incisive survey of the legal situation in areas as diverse as fertility treatment, patient consent, assisted dying, malpractice and medical privacy. The book has been fully revised and updated to cover the latest cases, from assisted dying to informed consent; legislative reform of the NHS, professional regulation and redress; European regulations on data protection and clinical trials; and legislation and policy reforms on organ donation, assisted conception and mental capacity. Essential reading for healthcare professionals, lecturers, medical and law students, this book is of relevance to all whose perusal of the daily news causes wonder, hope and consternation at the advances and limitations of medicine, patients and the law.
