Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This work is a collection of papers in comparative cultural studies, rather than the single-culture approach, applied in the study of Central European culture. It proposes that a Central European culture, as controversial and debated as the notion may be, exists. It provides an insightful look into a new field of study where a notion of comparative is merged with the field of cultural studies from the basic premises of the discipline of comparative literature.

Zustand: Gut. 212 Seiten / p. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar / a good and clean copy - First of all, if we reflect upon the nature ol the Florentine Secretary's literary production, we become aware of the importance of re-writing throughout every phase of his activity. Prior even to this, however, we must take into account the polysemous character of the term re-writing. Re-writing can refer to the situation in which an individual re-makes a work already made by others before him. In Machiavelli's case, we can immediately avail ourselves of several well-known examples, i.e., The Discourses, Clizia, and Andria: "obvious" re-writings ( the first, a commentary; the second, an imitation; the third, a translation ) of the works of Livy, Plautus, and Terence. -- Re-writing is also a process by which a writer reviews, re-thinks, and revises himself. Should we consider just one example, the recounting of the events leading up to and including the murder of Vitellozzo Vitelli ( along with Oliverotto da Fermo, Paolo and il Duca di Gravina Orsini ) , we find at least four versions penned by Machiavelli ( the version taken from the "Legation to Duke Valentino in Romagna"; the Description of the Method Used by Duke Valentino in Killing Vitellozzo Vitelli, Oliverotto da Fermo, and Others; the version that appears in The Decennali; and the one appearing in the seventh and eighth chapters of The Prince ) , a fact that in turn suggests Machiavelli's active involvement in this aspect of re-writing as well. -- Furthermore, beyond the physical evidence of the large body of re-writings left to us by Machiavelli lies the question of "attitude." Machiavelli's appropriateness in this study is largely due to his ideas on cyclicity and on newness, a seemingly unlike pair, though appearances may be misleading. One of the tenets of Machiavellian thought is that history, much like nature, is a cyclical phenomenon, composed of alternating periods of evolution and involution. He phrases it this way in the Discourses: "essendo le cose umane sempre in moto, o le salgano, o le scendano" ( Discorsi, Tutte le opere 145 ) ( "since human affairs are always in motion, either they rise or they fall" [ Discourses, Chief Works 1:322 ] ) . This perspective towards the unfolding of human events, a dynamic process, is "revolutionary" not only for what it produces in terms of "political science," but moreover for its significance regarding the realm of experience and its interpretation. Machiavelli's eye looks to the past and to the future, as he foretells what will happen based on what has already happened. At the same time, his eye gazes at the present, at the threshold of experience, and knows that whatever is happening, is not, cannot be happening for the first lime, though it be "new" nonetheless. "A path not yet trodden by anyone": these are Machiavelli's opening words to the Discourses, his re-writing of Livy. His own keen sense of newness is part and parcel of his cyclical Weltanschauung, for it is newness that signals the start of the "evolutionary phase" of any cycle, and it is his own sense of newness that will "foretell" the newness others will bring in the future. -- The choice of Machiavelli is an objectively justifiable one as much as a reflection of my own personal interests. There is no one "right" choice for a study such as this, no "origin" in an absolute sense. Thus, I choose to begin upon this "swerving path" at the intersection marked "Niccold Machiavelli" for reasons both explicit and implicit: because of the relevance of his works to this study, and also because of my own sense of newness, a newness that is both destructive and creative, that scrapes clean and adds to the palimpsest that is present here before me.

Soft cover. Zustand: Brand New. Brand new. This volume concerns itself with the ethical principles and concepts relating to the environment: nature, resources and the planet. This is placed in the context of ethical theory, and consideration is given to the way these values have transformed received ethical traditions. Issues include the intrinsic value of nonhuman species, obligations to future generations, and the aesthetic needs of humanity. Both the universal responsiblities and their application are investigated. The international responsibilities to the planet are seen in the context of some of the most alarming future scenarios: limited access to water, the changing global climate, population explosion, the destruction of ecosystems, and even the extinction of humanity.
