Hardcover with dust jacket. Zustand: Gut. 186 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - ein gutes Exemplar / a good copy. - In this book Mark Backman argues that our modernity is controlled by five principles of language and reality that were first enunciated during the fifth century B.C., in the city- states of Greece, as the basis of the art of rhetoric. Words are tools. Images are real. Information is power. Change is inevitable. Truth is relative. These rhetorical principles have enlivened Western Culture ever since, and they flow into our time in the guise of conflicting concepts of history, politics, education, ethics and aesthetics. These principles shape our innermost thoughts about living well in a world that depends on technological innovation and the embodiment of theory in products as well as in practice. They invest our art and literature with the archetypal themes and symbols by which we portray the most rudimentary emotions. They control the processes of decision-making by which we choose the goods we consume, the leaders we follow, the things we study and the opinions we believe or doubt. They give rise to the fundamental concepts and methods of our political, cultural and educational institutions. They are the keystones of our paradoxical notions of sophistication and, as such, intertwine the present with the past. Backman investigates sophistication as an organizing concept of culture that accounts for the flowering of the Greek Enlightenment in the fifth century B.C. and the emergence of the mass communicating world culture of the late 20th century A.D. And he reveals the central paradox of both ages: on one hand, sophistication makes possible material wealth and individual enrichment by emphasizing novelty, criticism and reorganization; on the other hand, it undercuts the very basis of community and fellowship by imperiling stability, common values and traditional beliefs. The sophistication of culture is a F austian bargain of epic proportions that is played out in all the realms of self-consciousness, self-expression and self-realization defined by rhetoric. / Contents Preface 1 The Roots of Our Sophistication 2 Inventing the Past: The Purpose of History in a Sophisticated Age 3 Creating the Present: The Power of Sophisticated Politics 4 Learning to Act: The Paradox of Sophisticated Education 5 Seeking the Self: The Plight of Sophisticated Ethics 6 Finding the Beautiful: The Primacy of Aesthetics in a Sophisticated Age 7 The Fruits of Our Sophistication Bibliography.
