Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Legal rules ought to work themselves out, with unique or difficult cases becoming fewer, and the inconsistencies in the system disappearing as they are confronted. Instead, legal doctrine and the role of judges has become more difficult and often more controversial. This book offers a general explanation why, and in so doing, analyzes how individuals reason when they behave as judges. Drawing on ideas from philosophical logic, game theory, philosophy of mind, truth theory, and jurisprudence, the author develops a theory of judicial pluralism which suggests that judicial truth is individually objective but societally personal, pluralistic and idiosyncratic. 278 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Academics and activists alike have long dismissed mysticism as an 'otherworldly' and escapist form of religion. Alton B. Pollard III, in a ground breaking study of the noted African-American mystic, Howard Thurman, presents an analysis of religious experience that challenges prevailing interpretations of mysticism and social change. Drawing on perspectives from sociology, phenomenology, and history, the author examines the meaning of mystical religion for the 'underside' of contemporary American society. What he uncovers is significant: an activist form of mysticism, compelled by the dictates of spiritual experience, that defies social conventions and engenders social change. 219 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Language and Civilization is a collocation in name, and a coalescence, above all, of words and workings in human life. The concept broadly envisions a congress of folks of many tongues and achievements, presenting a motley picture in detail, but a unified whole in humanity.The twin volumes bearing this title offer a vita activa in conspectus. Balances variety has been the guiding principle for contributors to act upon, and their response was cheerfully consentient. One hundred scholars from countries around the globe have sent in original papers; the table of names reads as does an honours list in the fields of modern languages and related studies . Algeo, Barber, Bolinger, Bourcier, Cannon, Cottle, Finkenstaedt, Gelling, Gneuss, Hamp, Lehmann, Lehnert, Penzl, to mention but a baker's dozen.The work has been brought together in honour of Professor Otto Hietsch, a native of Vienna, who in his time occupied chairs of English and Germanic philology in the universities of Padua, Braunschweig, and Regensburg. He is a certificated interpreter and translator, amd did research or taught in universities as far apart as Paris and Canberra, as Durham and Ann Arbor.Many of the present contributors are his life-long friends, associates in office, or former students; the books written and edited by him foreshadow to a fair measure the articles gathered here for the occasion of his retirement next year.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 824 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Zahlreiche Renaissance-Texte sind von der Sprechhandlung des Fiktionalisierens dadurch geprägt, daß sie Spuren ihrer Künstlichkeit aufweisen. Die vorliegende Arbeit unternimmt es, Funktionen dieser Erscheinung im frühneuzeitlichen England zu ermitteln. Den Akten des Fiktionalisierens und theatralischen Repräsentierens erwächst ihre modellierende und demystifizierende Kraft gerade auch dadurch, daß sie den am Kommunikationsprozeß Beteiligten bewußt bleiben, indem sie als solche ausgestellt werden. Im Kontext der Autoritätskrise der Renaissance-Gesellschaft kann diese Signifikationsweise einerseits der Selbstautorisation frühneuzeitlicher Individuen dienen und andererseits die Möglichkeit eröffnen, Machtdiskurse zu unterminieren. Aktuelle Diskussionen wie die subversion/containment -Debatte bzw. das Verhältnis von Signifikationsweise und Ideologie werden aufgegriffen und weitergeführt. 276 pp. Deutsch.…
