May 2017Philosophie der Arbeit
Texte von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart
by Michael S. Aßländer, Bernd Wagner
In der sozialen Selbstwahrnehmung des modernen Menschen, aber auch in gesellschaftspolitischen Diskussionen spielt das Thema »Arbeit« eine zentrale Rolle. Nur philosophisch fristet es eher ein Schattendasein. Das möchte der vorliegende Band ändern und bietet erstmals eine Zusammenstellung der einschlägigen philosophischen Texte von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart, von Hesiod und Platon über Luther und Locke bis Arendt und Gorz. Er versteht sich als Anregung zur Auseinandersetzung mit einem Gegenstand, dessen Aktualität und Relevanz außer Frage steht.

November 1978Tübinger Vorlesungen Band 1. Die Anfänge der Philosophie bei den Griechen
Die Vorsokratiker und ihre Voraussetzungen
by Wolfgang Schadewaldt, Ingeborg Schudoma, Ingeborg Schudoma, Maria Schadewaldt
Band 1 der Tübinger Vorlesungen Wolfgang Schadewaldts aus den Jahren 1950-1972 thematisiert die frühgriechische Philosophie vor ihrer Wende durch Sokrates. Ausgehend von den Anfängen des griechischen Denkens, dem Bild des Kosmos und des Menschen bei Homer, der Spekulation über Weltentstehung und Weltordnung in der Lehrdichtung Hesiods, der aus einer neuen Gesellschaft erwachsenen, politisch-philosophische Rechtsideen entwickelnden Elegiendichtung Solons erweist Schadewaldt im ersten Teil der Vorlesung die Präformation der Philosophie in der griechischen Sprache, ihrer Grammatik, ihrer Struktur. Dem schließt sich an eine Herkunfts- und Bedeutungsanalyse der bis auf Platon und Aristoteles wirksamen und noch heute denkerisch verwendeten philosophischen Begriffe. Die beiden Hauptteile der Vorlesung betreffen die erhaltenen Fragmente der vorsokratischen Philosophen wie die indirekten Zeugnisse über sie.

FictionMenuet za kitaro/Minuet for Guitar
by Vitomil Zupan
Minuet for Guitar is an intense exploration of the horrors of war, of morality and of historical forces propelling men this way and that. Using his life experiences for much of the action in the novel, Zupan introduces us to Jakob Bergant Berk, a man lost in two places and times. Slip-sliding between occupied Slovenia in the 1940s and a Spanish resort in the 1970s, we move from harrowing wartime guerrilla fighting to Berk’s curious encounter with Joseph Bitter, a former German soldier, during vacation in Spain. In the war, Berk is an apolitical non-conformist swept along by events over which he has little control, and some thirty years later, still traumatised by his wartime experiences, he tries to make sense of his memories in discussions with his old enemy Bitter. Once rumoured that it was used by the CIA as a manual for guerrilla warfare, Minuet for Guitar is a powerful examination of war on par with Céline’s Journey to the End of the Night, a modern Slovenian classic filled with philosophical ruminations and told in Zupan’s casual, ironic and even seductive voice.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2021How to Think Like Ulysses
What the Classics Can Teach Us about Life
by Bianca Sorrentino
What can the Trojan War tell us about women’s empowerment and immigration? What can the myth of Ulysses tell us about human agency when it is pitted against seemingly unsourmountable circumstances? And what about Orpheus? What can his figure teach us about humanity and its relationship with death? We tend to look at the Classics as dusty, as things from the past, something to study in a college course, but the truth is that they are far more modern than we think, and they can shed a marvellous light on what it means to be humans in the 21st century. Written with a charming levity that cleverly masks years of research, How to Think Like Ulysses is a heartfelt plea to rediscovers the literary wonders of the ancient world and to heed their lesson: life in our contemporary world may be very much different from Athens in the 5th century B.C., but perhaps we didn’t change as much.
