Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 1977The Leibniz-Clarke Correspondence
With extracts from Newton's 'Principia' and 'Optiks'
by Robert Gavin Alexander
n 1715 Leibniz wrote to his friend the Princess of Wales to warn her of the dangers Newton's philosophy posed for natural religion. Seizing this chance of initiating an exchange between the two greatest minds in Europe, the princess showed his letter to the eminent Newtonian scientist and natural theologian, Samuel Clarke. From his reply developed an exchange of papers which was published in 1717. The correspondence was immediately seen as a crucial discussion of the significance of the new science, and it became one of the most widely read philosophical works of its time.In this edition, an introduction outlines the historical background, and there is a valuable survey of the subsequent discussions of the problem of space and time in the philosophy of science. Significant references to the controversy in Leibniz's other correspondence have also been collected, and the relevant passages from Newton's Principia and Opticks are appended.

The correspondence was immediately seen as a crucial discussion of the significance of the new science, and it became one of the most widely read philosophical works of its time. Kant developed his theory of space and time from the problems at issue, and the post-Newtonian physics of the twentieth century has brought a revival of interest in Leibniz's objections: some of the problems are still not finally resolved.

Literature & Literary StudiesSeptember 2014A concordance to the rhymes of The Faerie Queene
by Richard Brown, J. B. Lethbridge, J. B. Lethbridge
This book is the first ever concordance to the rhymes of Spenser's epic. It gives the reader unparalleled access to the formal nuts and bolts of this massive poem: the rhymes which he used to structure its intricate stanzas. As well as the main concordance to the rhymes, the volume features a wealth of ancillary materials, which will be of value to both professional Spenserians and students, including distribution lists and an alphabetical listing of all the words in The Faerie Queene. The volume breaks new ground by including two studies by Richard Danson Brown and J. B. Lethbridge, so that the reader is given provocative analyses alongside the raw data about Spenser as a rhymer. Brown considers the reception of rhyme, theoretical models and how Spenser's rhymes may be reading for meaning. Lethbridge in contrast discusses the formulaic and rhetorical character of the rhymes. ;

March 2008Geglückte Balance
Auf Goethe blickend
by Friedrich Dieckmann
Die Frage nach der Modernität Goethes stellt sich für Friedrich Dieckmann nicht – wer Goethe als "Dichterfürsten" vermeintlich rühmt, hat ihn genauso wenig verstanden wie einer, der ihn, in der Nachfolge Ludwig Börnes, als "Fürstenknecht" schmäht. Auch der Klassiker Goethe ist ein Klischee; es sind die Häutungen, die Verwandlungen dieses Autors, die, über die Einschnitte seiner und unserer Zeit hinweg, Gestalt und Werk lebendig machen - man muß nur zu lesen wissen. Hierbei zu helfen ist das Anliegen der zehn Essays, die Dieckmann zum Werk Goethes vorlegt. Der zeitliche Rahmen dieser Essays wird abgesteckt durch den Urfaust, das bestürzend kühne Jugendwerk, das seine Überlieferung der Sorgfalt eines Hoffräuleins verdankt, und den zweiten Teil der Fausttragödie, das große Alterswerk, das Goethe erst nach seinem Tod der Öffentlichkeit übergeben wissen wollte. Dazwischen geht es unter anderem darum, wie schwer sich der Napoleon-Bewunderer Goethe tat, den einschneidenden politischen Wandlungen von 1813/14 standzuhalten, und wie er sie, wenig glücklich, dramatisch verarbeitete, um sich danach in einen Orient der Poesie, den West-östlichen Divan, zu retten. Und in erfrischend unkonventionellen Gedichtinterpretationen zeigt sich die "geglückte Balance" zwischen Liebe und Beruf, Politik und Poesie, die Goethes Lebenshaltung prägt; sie kann heute wie damals ein Anhalt sein.

October 2020The Eco-Balance on the Plate
How What We Eat Can Protect the Climate
by Dr. Malte Rubach
How much CO₂ is emitted by one serving of spaghetti bolognese? About 1.5 kilograms! This example shows what the meat industry and food logistics mean for the eco-balance of our food. But is it enough to switch to meat-free and dairy-free alternatives or local specialities? Dr. Malte Rubach takes a closer look and reviews our food regime and its impact on our climate. We live in a society influenced by technology and the rising consumption of resources. Rubach argues for a sensible attitude to food and shows what we can still eat with a clear conscience.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2024Tracking the Jews
Ecumenical Protestants, conversion, and the Holocaust
by Carolyn Sanzenbacher
This book sheds light on an unprecedented Protestant conversion initiative for the global evangelisation of Jews. Founded in 1929, the International Committee on the Christian Approach to the Jews (ICCAJ) aimed to bring Jewish people to their 'spiritual destiny', a task it saw as both benevolent and essential for a harmonious society. By the time of Hitler's rise to power it was active in thirty-two countries, educating Protestant churches on the right Christian attitude towards Jews and antisemitism. Reconstructing the activities of the ICCAJ in the years before, during and immediately after the Holocaust, Tracking the Jews reveals how ideas disseminated through the organisation's discourse - 'Jewish problem', 'Jewish influence', 'Judaising threat', 'eternal Jew' - were used to rationalise, justify, explain or advance a number of deeply troubling policies. They were, for vastly different reasons, consciously used elements of argumentation in both Protestant conversionary discourse and Nazi antisemitic ideology.
