        Verantwortung

        Philosophische Grundlagentexte

        by Christoph Halbig, Jörg Löschke, Philipp Schwind

        Die Zuschreibung von Verantwortung für unsere Handlungen ist ein zentraler Bestandteil unserer moralischen Praxis. Aber sie wirft schwierige philosophische Fragen auf. Müssen wir beispielsweise über einen freien Willen verfügen, um für unsere Handlungen verantwortlich zu sein? Ist Verantwortung ein einheitliches Phänomen oder gibt es verschiedene Arten von Verantwortung? Und können wir nur für unsere Taten verantwortlich sein oder beispielsweise auch für unsere Überzeugungen? Der Band versammelt – zum Teil erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung – die zentralen Texte der philosophischen Debatte über Verantwortung, u. a. von Stephen Darwall, Harry G. Frankfurt, H. L. H. Hart, Thomas Nagel, Peter Strawson, Susan Wolf und Iris Marion Young.

        Ein Tag im Jahr im neuen Jahrhundert

        2001-2011

        by Christa Wolf

        Es ist ein ganz gewöhnliches Datum, doch für Christa Wolf war es über fünfzig Jahre lang ein besonderes: Seit 1960 beschrieb sie Jahr für Jahr ihren 27. September, fasziniert von der »Bedeutung, die ein durchschnittlicher Tag bekommt, wenn man wahrnimmt, wie viele Lebenslinien in ihm zusammenlaufen«. Als sie dann 2003 Ein Tag im Jahr. 1960-2000 veröffentlichte, war die Resonanz überwältigend: »Eine unvergleichliche Chronik unserer Gegenwart« (Berliner Zeitung), »ein monumentales Tagebuch … eines ihrer wichtigsten Werke« (Der Spiegel). Auch im neuen Jahrhundert setzte Christa Wolf diese Arbeit fort und ging dem Zusammenspiel von Privatem, Subjektivem und großen zeitgeschichtlichen Ereignissen auf den Grund. Sie erzählt von Deutschland nach dem 11. September 2001, von der eigenen Arbeit etwa an ihrem letzten großen Werk Stadt der Engel oder The Overcoat of Dr. Freud, aber auch von der kräftezehrenden Auseinandersetzung mit dem Altern. Eine persönliche Chronik und gleichzeitig ein einzigartiges Dokument der Zeitgenossenschaft: Christa Wolf führt mit der ihr eigenen präzisen Reflexion und mutigen Offenheit die Aufzeichnungen ihres großartigen Tagebuchs Ein Tag im Jahr fort.

        Mozart and the Wolf Gang

        By Anthony Burgess

        by Alan Shockley

        Written in 1991 to commemorate the bicentennial of Mozart's death, Burgess's novella-length piece is a compendium of themes, genres and even art-forms revolving around the one central preoccupation of the entire Burgess oeuvre: the reconcilability of life and art. This is a kaleidoscope of a book, which stretches even the bounds of even Anthony Burgess's fiction in an attempt to understand Mozart through celestial dialogue, an opera libretto, and fragments of a film script. As gracefully witty as it is daringly experimental, Mozart and the Wolf Gang is one of Burgess's late, great works, often overlooked due to its experimental form, which nevertheless remains accessible, entertaining and yet refreshingly original to this day. This new critical edition with analysis from noted musicologist and a first-class literary critic Alan Shockley enables this work's significance within the fields of literary modernism, fictional biography, and fiction about music, to be assessed by a new generation of readers and scholars.

        Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles

        by Mu Ling

        This volume consists of three middle-grade stories, "Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles" "A Short Biography of Rooster 'Fighting Tiger'" and "The Ice Fox". "Wolf Walk Thousands of Miles" tells the story of a small pack of wolves rescued by human beings and released into the mountains. Under the guidance of their parents, the wolves grow up in the "greenhouse", gradually adapting to the crisis-ridden wilderness, and live happily. When the hunting dog escapes its owner and returns to the mountains, it destroys the peace and quiet there. A cub is killed, and the male wolf, desperate to protect his son, is killed by a poacher's forgotten hunting gear. Without their tough leader, the "tame" wolves are in an unprecedented predicament. They meander for thousands of miles, and through grueling trials and tribulations, quickly grow into self-reliant hunters and defenders of the mountains and forests. A short biography of the cockerel. "Fighting Tiger" is about the extraordinary adventures of a chicken. Through the whimsical "training" of two urban and rural schoolchildren, this small rooster, which had once circled a tiger in a zoo, nearly became the "black horse" in the "cockfighting" competition. The Ice Fox used to be a hunting dog. After the hunting ban, the village has become a folkloric tourist area, and the ice fox, which used to be favored by the hunters, has been given a cold shoulder. Unwilling to be lonely, it even attacked the pets brought by the tourists, and broke into trouble again and again. Lonely hound finally recovered its nature in nature, found friends, and recovered the happiness belonging to a family dog.

        Eine Novelle

        by Martin Walser

        Wolf Zieger, aus der DDR stammend, leidet an der deutschen Teilung. Ihn bekümmert, daß seine kämpfende und leidende Republik auf dem Gebiet der High-Technologie hoffnungslos unterlegen ist. Um diesem Defizit abzuhelfen, stellt er sich als Spion in ihre Dienste. Verheiratet ist er mit Dorle, einer Sekretärin im Bonner Verteidigungsministerium. Nach 9 Jahren fehlerloser Spionagepraxis will er mit seiner Frau zu einem normalen Familienleben zurückkehren. Aber die Auftraggeber zeigen kein Verständnis für seinen Wunsch. Wolf spürt den Konflikt immer brennender. Er beginnt sich und sein dauerndes Weder- Noch abzulehnen. In diesem persönlichen Zwiespalt zwischen Sollen und Nicht-mehr-Wollen stellt er sich einem Gericht in der Bundesrepublik und wird verurteilt: Zeit für Trauerarbeit. »»Dorle und Wolf« ist von besonderem Reiz, weil das Wesensmerkmal aller Walserschen Halbhelden, das Tarnen des Inneren, hier auch noch zum Berufsmerkmal geworden ist ... »Dorle und Wolf« ist ein Buch, das sich ausgesprochen lustvoll lesen läßt.« »Die Weltwoche«

        Dusty Bob

        A cultural history of dustmen, 1780–1870

        by Brian Maidment

        Why did dustmen exercise an extended hold over the imagination of many Regency and Victorian artists and writers, including George Cruikshank, Henry Mayhew, Charles Dickens as well as numerous little known dramatists, caricaturists, print makers, journalists and novelists? This book, the first study of the cultural representation of the dust trade, provides many varied answers to this question by showing the ways in which London dustmen were associated with ideas of contamination, dirt, noise, violence, wealth, consumerism and threat. Drawing on an extraordinary range of sources, including plays, novels, reportage and, especially, visual culture, Dusty Bob describes the ways in which dustmen were perceived and mythologised in the first seventy years of the nineteenth century. Although Dusty Bob centrally comprises a detailed and original piece of research of interest to scholars and advanced students of Victorian culture, it has been written with a broader readership in mind. ;
