        Neurowissenschaft und Philosophie

        Gehirn, Geist und Sprache

        by Maxwell Bennett, Daniel C. Dennett, Peter Hacker, John R. Searle, Joachim Schulte, Daniel Robinson

        Als der Neurowissenschaftler Maxwell Bennett und der Philosoph Peter Hacker den Klassiker Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience veröffentlichten, war dies die erste systematische Untersuchung der begrifflichen Grundlagen der Neurowissenschaften und der Startschuss für den bis heute intensiv geführten Kampf um die Deutungsmacht über den menschlichen Geist. Besonders kritisch fiel seinerzeit die Auseinandersetzung mit den einflussreichen Arbeiten von Daniel Dennett und John Searle aus – also mit jenen beiden Denkern, die von der neurowissenschaftlichen Seite gerne als philosophische Gewährsmänner herangezogen werden. In Neurowissenschaft und Philosophie diskutieren die vier kongenialen »Streithähne« miteinander.

        The French empire at War, 1940–1945

        by Martin Thomas

        The French empire at war draws on original research in France and Britain to investigate the history of the divided French empire - the Vichy and the Free French empires - during the Second World War. What emerges is a fascinating story. While it is clear that both the Vichy and Free French colonial authorities were only rarely masters of their own destiny during the war, preservation of limited imperial control served them both in different ways. The Vichy government exploited the empire in an effort to withstand German-Italian pressure for concessions in metropolitan France and it was key to its claim to be more than the mouthpiece of a defeated nation. For Free France too, the empire acquired a political and symbolic importance which far outweighed its material significance to the Gaullist war effort. As the war progressed, the Vichy empire lost ground to that of the Free French, something which has often been attributed to the attraction of the Gaullist mystique and the spirit of resistance in the colonies. In this radical new interpretation, Thomas argues that it was neither of these. The course of the war itself, and the initiatives of the major combatant powers, played the greatest part in the rise of the Gaullist empire and the demise of Vichy colonial control.

        Daniel Calparsoro

        by Nuria Triana-Toribio, Ann Davies, Andy Willis

        Daniel Calparsoro, a director who has made a crucial contribution to contemporary Spanish and Basque cinema, has provoked strong reactions from the critics. Reductively dismissed as a works of crude violence by those lamenting a 'lost golden age' of Spanish filmmaking, Calparsoro's films in fact reveal a more complex interaction with trends and traditions in both Spanish and Hollywood cinema. This book is the first full-length study of the director's work, from his early social-realist films set in the Basque Country to his later forays into the genres of the war and horror. It offers an in-depth film-by-film analysis while simultaneously exploring the director's position in the contemporary Spanish context, the tension between directors and critics and the question of national cinema in an area - the Basque Country - of heightened national and regional sensitivities.

        by Ann Davies, Nuria Triana-Toribio, Andy Willis

        Daniel Calparsoro, a director who has provided a crucial contribution to the contemporary scene in Spanish and Basque cinema, has provoked strong reactions from the critics. Reductively dismissed as a purveyor of crude violence by those critics lamenting a 'lost golden age' of Spanish filmmaking, Calparsoro's films reveal in fact a more complex interaction with trends and traditions in both Spanish and Hollywood cinema. This book is the first full-length study of the director's work, from his early social realist films set in the Basque Country to his later forays into the genres of the war and horror film. It offers an in-depth film-by-film analysis, while simultaneously exploring the function of the director in the contemporary Spanish context, the tension between directors and critics, and the question of national cinema in an area - the Basque Country - of heightened national and regional sensitivities. ;

        Bin ich meines Bruders Hüter?

        by Daniel Gelleri

        Bin ich meines Bruders Hüter? von Daniel Gelleri BÜRGERKRIEG IN ISRAEL! Ist eines der mutigsten demokratischen Experimente fehlgeschlagen? Während die arabische Welt Genugtuung äußert, breitet sich in Europa und den USA Bestürzung aus. In dieser lebendig erzählten Geschichte zeichnet Daniel Gelleri, Autor des Erfolgromans Iris, das Leben von fünf Generationen einer jüdisch-israelischen Familie nach, deren Mitglieder die Hoffnungen und Träume ihrer Vorfahren teilen und gleichzeitig unter den Auseinandersetzungen, Alpträumen und Ängsten im heutigen Israel leiden. 150 Jahre nach der Geburt Isaak Isserlichs, dem Sproß einer prominenten osteuropäischen Rabbinerfamilie aus Krakau, bekämpfen sich seine Urenkel in den Jerusalemer Bergen. Sind diese blutigen Auseinandersetzungen ein Hinweis auf die nahende Apokalypse? Die israelische Regierung beschließt, sich auf die Grenzen des Jahres 1967 zurückzuziehen und löst damit eine große ideologische Kontroverse aus. Der ohnehin brüchige gesellschaftliche Konsens zerreißt. Was bisher nur hinter verschlossenen Türen debattiert wurde, eskaliert jetzt auf den Straßen jeder größeren Stadt Israels zum gewaltsamen Konflikt. Jede Seite besteht darauf, den Staat nach ihren Vorstellungen zu formen. Niemand ist bereit, nachzugeben und ein Alptraum wird wahr: BÜRGERKRIEG! In dem kleinen Land, dessen Bürger den zahlreichen äußeren Feinden fünfundsiebzig Jahre lang erfolgreich standgehalten haben, geschieht das Undenkbare: Der Feind kommt jetzt nicht von außen, sondern vom Inneren des Landes. Jede Seite kämpft für die eigene Wahrheit, den eigenen Glauben und die eigene Vision für Israel. Daniel Gelleri (geb. 1955) wuchs als säkularer Jude auf. Er kehrte sich mit fünfundzwanzig dem orthodoxen jüdischen Glauben zu. Mehrere Jahre lebte er mit seiner Familie in der Siedlung Bat Ayin im Westjordanland: Die Ermordung von Ministerpräsident Rabin durch einen orthodoxen Fanatiker erschütterte Gelleri so tief, daß er seinen Glauben einer erneuten Prüfung unterzog. Er kehrte der religiösen Welt den Rücken zu und nahm seinen früheren säkularen Lebensstil wieder auf. Er ist ein hochrangiger israelischer Reserveoffizier. Iris, sein erster kürzlich veröffentlichter erster Roman wurde ein großer Erfolg. Rechte für die deutsche Ausgabe und andere Sprachen sind noch erhältlich!
