Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book's basic thesis is that learning, like living, is comedic. Comedy instructs through metaphor - seeing likeness between opposites - and in reading everything as text. The book thereby revisions education as Comedy. It suggests that the subjects of all assignments must connect with the subjective reader. Accordingly, it includes student writings, personal memoirs, dreams, poems, myths, journals, and artwork - as well as critiques of mainstream writing and teaching. From classwork with Virginia Woolf, Eudora Welty, and Flannery O'Connor, assignments are offered to prod students into awareness of their deeper selves, their others, nature, and the divine. 180 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book collects the most important essays of the late James B. Macdonald, educational theorist and cultural critic. Given the rise of importance of educational thinkers within the current move toward interdisciplinary theory dialogue. Macdonald's work stands as an important link between earlier technical discussions associated with curriculum development and contemporary moves toward viewing the central role of educational institutions and discourses in social and cultural life. Macdonald's essays - spanning from the early '60s to the early '80s - argue for the necessity of curriculum theorizing in the attempt to create a more humane schooling environment, a process that he consistently linked to larger cultural and social transformations. 214 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study examines the question of how linguistic categories may influence thinking, with respect to the perception of time. Investigating the verb system of Navajo, the author determines that the notion of aspect is crucial; she describes one category, the Progressive, as it is used in various types of discourse. She concludes that, as studies of color terms and perception have shown, no direct link can be established between language categories and ways of perceiving the world, and yet there exist 'idealized cognitive models' which suggest important differences between linguistic groups. 252 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Literary theory of the twentieth century in the Anglo-American tradition forms a coherent whole, dividing into discrete clusters. This theory is riddled with purely logical problems inherent in its enterprise, resulting from the fact that Modernist theory develops as an offshoot of Romanticism. Such fundamental flaws, or discontents, afflict all Modernist theory, from Russian Formalism through Structuralism and Deconstruction. The problems of Modernist theory cannot be solved; at most we can resolve to take theory in a new direction. 168 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The problem of intergenerational justice is among the most important issues in contemporary politics. Yet contemporary philosophers and political theorists have had great difficulty coming to grips with the nature and extent of our intergenerational obligations. This book examines the historical roots of intergenerational justice and analyzes this concept critically. Contemporary approaches are critiqued for their inability to address adequately such essential 'intergenerational' questions as whether, and under what circumstances, we have an obligation to perpetuate the human species, the moral implications of our power to affect the identity of future persons, and the nature of our obligations to the dead. The concluding chapters propose a broader understanding of intergenerational justice and the moral necessity of establishing a tradition of just intergenerational action as our legacy to posterity. 284 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Between 1821 and 1891, the Optina Pustyn Monastery of Konzel'sk, in Russia's Kaluga Government, was the site of an unprecedented - and as yet unequaled - period of religious and literary flowering. Optina Pustyn was a mecca for many of Russia's most prominent writers and thinkers. Distinguished visitors included Ivan Kireevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Lev Tolstoy. This study explains why Optina and its renowned 'elders' held a special attraction to Russia's literary giants. It reveals how the elders' use of language was rooted in the 'iconic vision' of Optina's fifteen-hundred-year-old tradition of contemplative monasticism. It is the first study to examine Optina's social gravity against the broad background of nineteenth-century institutions of Church and Intelligentsia. 326 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This notable book bridges the long existent gap between counseling theory and practice. It accomplishes this task by examining the philosophical foundations that underlie both counseling theory and practice. Counseling has been very reticent to examine its own basic presuppositions. This book offers valuable insights into the necessary relation of philosophy and counseling theory. Counseling is often 'crisis' driven. These crises often drive the 'what' (theory and practice) to the forefront of the discipline. This significant volume gives counselors an opportunity to deal with the 'whys' (philosophy) of counseling as they struggle to come to grips with their professions. 178 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La poétique du discours durassien reflète une ontologie portée par un mouvement constant vers 'le gommage de l'être en faveur du tout'. Ce mouvement s'amorce dès La Vie tranquille , roman de jeunesse portant en germes une poétique romanesque que l'on retrouve pleinement épanouie dans Le Vice-consul , oeuvre de la maturité. Articulant le relatif sur l'absolu, le circonstanciel sur l'universel, ces deux textes proclament le rapport de l'Un et du Multiple, de l'Etre et du Non-être, et témoignent du lien organique unissant écriture romanesque et quête de la connaissance. 172 pp. Französisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Anwendung des Rechtsinstituts der Aufrechnung im Verwaltungsrecht wirft eine Vielzahl interessanter Probleme auf. So wird in dieser Arbeit untersucht, ob und inwieweit die Aufrechnung des Bürgers zur Rechtswidrigkeit eines mit der Hauptforderung in Zusammenhang stehenden Verwaltungsakts führt. Bei der Aufrechnung durch die Verwaltung mit einer Forderung, die durch Verwaltungsakt geltend gemacht wird, ist u.a. der Frage nachzugehen, wie sich Rechtsbehelfe des Bürgers gegen diesen Verwaltungsakt auf die Aufrechnung auswirken. Auch die prozessuale Berücksichtigung der Aufrechnung mit einer rechtswegfremden Forderung ist in jüngerer Zeit erneut zum Gegenstand juristischer Diskussion geworden und wird in diesem Buch ebenfalls diskutiert. 292 pp. Deutsch.…
