Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2019Writing the Welsh borderlands in Anglo-Saxon England
by Lindy Brady, T. J. H. McCarthy, Stephen Mossman, Carrie Beneš, Jochen Schenk
This is the first study of the Anglo-Welsh border region in the period before the Norman arrival in England, from the fifth to the twelfth centuries. Its conclusions significantly alter our current picture of Anglo/Welsh relations before the Norman Conquest by overturning the longstanding critical belief that relations between these two peoples during this period were predominately contentious. Writing the Welsh borderlands in Anglo-Saxon England demonstrates that the region which would later become the March of Wales was not a military frontier in Anglo-Saxon England, but a distinctively mixed Anglo-Welsh cultural zone which was depicted as a singular place in contemporary Welsh and Anglo-Saxon texts. This study reveals that the region of the Welsh borderlands was much more culturally coherent, and the impact of the Norman Conquest on it much greater, than has been previously realised.

Biography & True StoriesJune 2014A Biography of Paul Watzlawick
The Discovery of the Present Moment
by Andrea Köhler-Ludescher
This book, the world's first biography of Paul Watzlawick, written by his great-niece, describes the life of this philosopher, therapist, and best-selling author. Paul Watzlawick had a talent for languages and he led an adventurous life, from his childhood in Villach to studying in Venice after the war, to analyst training under C. G. Jung in Zurich, an attempt at establishing himself in India and then in El Salvador as a therapist, and finally to the Mental Research Institute (MRI) in the United States, headed by Don D. Jackson, a venerable scientist. This marked the beginning of the second half of his life, his amazing career as a communication researcher, a pioneer of systemic therapy, a radical constructivist, and a great thinker regarding the divisions between East and West. With many letters, lectures, interviews, and statements from contemporary witnesses and family members, this book makes Paul Watzlawick accessible as a human being and as a spiritually inspired, leading 20th century thinker. It includes a variety of unpublished material from Watzlawick, and introduces a comprehensive and exciting picture of the scientist and cosmopolitan person, Paul Watzlawick. Target Group: For people interest in Paul Watzlawick, communication sciences, systemic therapy, and constructivism.

September 1975The Best of H. C. Artmann
by H. C. Artmann, Klaus Reichert
Von allen deutschen Autoren, die nach 1945 zu schreiben begannen, ist Artmann ohne jeden Zweifel der vielseitigste, originellste und erfinderischste. So wie Artmann in fast allen Gattungen gearbeitet hat, auch den angeblich antiquierten, und ohne sich um die Tagesparolen der mal reine Dichtung betreibenden, mal engagierten, mal die Literatur totsagenden Kollegen zu kümmern, so hat er seine Quellen, seine Herkunft überall: in der Artusepik, in barocker Schäferpoesie, in den Wörterbüchern und Grammatiken von gut zwei Dutzend Sprachen, in Irland und im England des Sherlock Holmes, bei Villon und dem Wiener Vorstadtdialekt, Lorca, Gomez de la Serna, den Surrealisten und Dadaisten, in den Detektivheftchen der 20er Jahre und den Comic strips von damals bis heute. Unsere Auswahl versucht, nicht nur einen repräsentativen Querschnitt durch das Werk Artmanns zu geben, sondern gleichzeitig Verstreutes, an entlegensten Orten Publiziertes zu sammeln.

A complexity theory of literature
by Lydia R. Cooper
Combining the fields of evolutionary economics and the humanities, this book examines McCarthy's literary works as a significant case study demonstrating our need to recognise the interrelated complexities of economic policies, environmental crises, and how public policy and rhetoric shapes our value systems. In a world recovering from global economic crisis and poised on the brink of another, studying the methods by which literature interrogates narratives of inevitability around global economic inequality and eco-disaster is ever more relevant.

October 1993Ideale und Illusionen
Dekonstruktion und Rekonstruktion in der kritischen Theorie
by Thomas McCarthy, Joachim Schulte
Kant kommt in seiner kritischen Theorie zu dem Schluß, dass unser Denken, das einerseits durch die Ideen der Vernunft immer wieder in die Irre geführt wird, andererseits nicht ohne diese Ideen auskommen kann. Wir bedürfen der Einsicht, daß es der »konstitutive Gebrauch« dieser Ideen ist, der uns notwendig zu verfehlten metaphysischen Annahmen verleitet, während ihr regulativer Gebrauch für uns Vernunftwesen unentbehrlich ist. Diese Grundeinsicht der kritischen Philosophie bringt Thomas McCarthy in den hier vorgelegten Untersuchungen in wechselnden Kontexten zur Anwendung. Die Vernunft, deren Kritik die Philosophen heute beschäftigt, kann allerdings nicht mehr dieselbe sein wie zu Kants Zeiten. Es ist eine Vernunft, die nicht mehr zu trennen ist von den gesellschaftlich geprägten Situationen, in denen sie sich manifestiert: Es ist eine verkörperte, durch kulturelle und soziale Praktiken vermittelte Vernunft. Kurz, die philosophische Kritik kann heute nicht mehr der »reinen« Vernunft gelten, sondern sie bezieht sich notgedrungen auf eine »unreine« Vernunft.

November 2015Rassismus, Imperialismus und die Idee menschlicher Entwicklung
by Thomas McCarthy, Michael Müller
»Die Menschheit«, so Kant in seiner Vorlesung über Physische Geographie, »ist in ihrer größten Vollkommenheit in der Race der Weißen. Die gelben Indianer haben schon ein geringeres Talent. Die Neger sind weit tiefer, und am tiefsten steht ein Theil der amerikanischen Völkerschaften.« Die Vorstellung, der Entwicklungsstand der Menschen sei bedingt durch ihre ethnische Abstammung, ist tief verwurzelt im westlichen Denken. Thomas McCarthy zeigt, dass Rassismus und Imperialismus von Anfang an wesentliche Elemente der modernen Weltordnung waren. Ausgehend vom philosophischen Erbe der Aufklärung entwirft er eine kritische Theorie humaner Entwicklung, die für einen universalistischen Multikulturalismus eintritt.

Medieval historyApril 2009Music, scholasticism and reform
Salian Germany 1024–1125
by T. J. H. McCarthy
This fascinating study looks at music and its intellectual context in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Drawing on a rich body of theoretical literature and manuscript sources, this book paints a detailed picture of the study of music in eleventh-and early twelfth-century Germany. It focuses on the activity of a group of prominent intellectuals based in the monastic and cathedral schools of the German Kingdom, charting their sources and shared concerns, while subtly examining their reception and modification of each others' ideas. Distilling a considerable amount of German scholarship, it situates music in its proper place among other intellectual developments that took place in eleventh-century Germany. This book is above all a study of motivations and thought processes of a group of medieval thinkers: it and will appeal to specialist and non-specialist ecclesiastical, intellectual and cultural historians, as well as to historians of music and of medieval culture.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The Papal Reform of the Eleventh Century
Lives of Pope Leo IX and Pope Gregory VII
by I. Robinson
The eleventh-century papal reform transformed western European Church and society and permanently altered the relations of Church and State in the west. The reform was inaugurated by Pope Leo IX (1048-54) and given a controversial change of direction by Pope Gregory VII (1073-85). This book contains the earliest biographies of both popes, presented here for the first time in English translation with detailed commentaries. The biographers of Leo IX were inspired by his universally acknowledged sanctity, whereas the biographers of Gregory VII wrote to defend his reputation against the hostility generated by his reforming methods and his conflict with King Henry IV. Also included is a translation of Book to a Friend, written by Bishop Bonizo of Sutri soon after the death of Gregory VII, as well as an extract from the violently anti-Gregorian polemic of Bishop Benzo of Alba (1085) and the short biography of Leo IX composed in the papal curia in the 1090s by Bishop Bruno of Segni. These fascinating narrative sources bear witness to the startling impact of the papal reform and of the 'Investiture Contest', the conflict of empire and papacy that was one of its consequences. An essential collection of translated texts for students of medieval history.
