Die erste Ausgabe der »Essays« erschien 1597, erweiterte Fassungen 1612 und 1625. Knapp und nüchtern im Stil, geht es darin um Öffentliches (»Von hohen Ämtern, Von Parteien«) wie Privates (»Von Anhängern und Freunden, Vom Gespräch«), aber auch um allgemein Menschliches (»Von der Wahrheit, Von der Menschennatur«). Bacon verstand die »Essays« als eine Art Gebrauchsanleitung für das Überleben des Einzelnen in der Gesellschaft: Der Mensch sollte sich anpassen und verbessern können, getreu der Formel: »Das Benehmen der Menschen sei wie ihre Kleidung, nicht zu eng oder zu knapp, sondern mit Raum zu Bewegung und Übung.« Niemandem ist es gelungen, Ursache und Wirkung menschlicher Handlungen in ihren psychischen und sozialen Verflechtungen so prägnant zu beschreiben wie Francis Bacon, der, angeregt von Montaignes »Essais«, von Galilei und Descartes, in seinem Werk die Fundamente des modernen Denkens gelegt hat.
Who are we? This is the question that the Ukraїner team has been working on every day for over five years. We tell stories from different parts of Ukraine, and in this way we seek the answer. This book has grown out of a great desire to explore and tell about the people in Ukraine. First of all, it is about the indigenous peoples here, because since July 2021, in addition to Ukrainians, this list has officially included the Crimean Tatars, Krymchaks and Karaites. And also it is about a whole range of national minorities whose representatives appeared on our lands for one reason or another. After all, the history of each people living in the territory of Ukraine is a part of our common history, as ancient and rooted as the formation of the Crimean Tatar people in Crimea and nearby steppe of Prychornomoria, or as fresh as the newly Indian student community in Zakarpattia. With the story of the latter, in 2017 Ukraїner began a series of more than 30 multimedia stories about national minorities of Ukraine, fragments of which became the basis for this book. Most stories are accompanied by QR codes with links, which you can follow to watch the stories. We also set out to tell about the diversity of cultures and thereby answer the question: what are we? The deeper we researched the traditional holidays, cuisine, and symbols of each separate people, the more we found in common.
Over several years of expeditions, the Ukraїner team took thousands of photos of Ukraine from a drone. Many different screens have already seen our footage: from Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) to city buses in Warsaw. With the help of these images, we aim to share the beauty of Ukraine with the world. This photo book shows Ukraine from a bird's eye view. Fields, forests, coasts, snow-capped mountains, patterns of city streets – all these shots show amazing diversity and cause aesthetic awe. Despite the fact that enemy shells are still flying in the Ukrainian sky, we are already trying to make the whole world fall in love with it. The book is published only in English and is called “Ukraine from above”.

This book is premised on the view that the idea of the avant garde has an increased importance in these times of global political crisis. Much cultural production today is shaped by a biopolitics that construes all creative and knowledge production in terms of capital accumulation. A different kind of culture is possible. This collection of writings, essays, interviews and artworks by many of today's most radical cultural practitioners and astute commentators on matters avant garde mediates the different strategies and temporalities of avant-garde art and politics. Tracing diverse genealogies and trajectories, the book offers an inter-generational forum of ideas that covers different arts fields, from visual art, art activism, photography, film and architecture, to literature, theatre, performance, intermedia and music. This is an extraordinarily rich collection and is sure to be a benchmark for many years.

Die in diesem Band enthaltenen Essays befassen sich mit drei ethischen Themenbereichen: ethische Begründungsfragen, das Verhältnis von Rationalität und Moral und Probleme der angewandten Ethik. Nida-Rümelin vertritt eine kohärentistische Ethikkonzeption, die sich sowohl vom Utilitarismus (Konsequentialismus) absetzt als auch einen überzogenen Rationalismus deontologischer Prägung vermeidet. Dieser Band enthält auch eine ausführliche Dokumentation der aktuellen Debatte über Nida-Rümelins Thesen zu gegenwärtigen Fragen der Ethik.
Oliver Cromwell has been both applauded and reviled and his memory invoked in periods and in countries other than his own. This complex historiography has left us today with many different versions of Cromwell as man, general and statesman of which the conflicting images are the subject of this book. Available in paperback for the first time, this classic study is based on the unfinished magnum opus of the leading scholar of seventeenth-century history, Roger Howell (1936?89). It includes chapters by a team of leading international experts on a broad range of subjects originally planned by Howell himself. It includes Howell's studies of the reactions to Cromwell in the Restoration period and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Added to these are reprints of his essays on psychohistorical approaches to Cromwell and on Cromwell's contribution to English liberty. Further historiographical portraits of the Protector are offered in chapters which consider Cromwell and the Glorious Revolution; Carlyle's Cromwell; Irish images of the Protector; American interpretations; and the comparisons made between Cromwell and the twentieth-century dictators. ;

Jahrhunderts, über Dichter und Dichtung des Surrealismus, schließlich über drei bildende Künstler.

Der leidenschaftliche Impuls gilt einer Zeitwende, deren Beginn Paz an vielen Symptomen abliest.
Our team continues to study Ukraine, the results of which we share with you. This book is a story of the Ukrainian land, told by the Ukrainian people and filmed by the Ukraїner team. It was not enough to travel around all regions of Ukraine just one time to get to know it. Therefore, during 2019-2021, we drove the second expedition circle and brought even more stories about our incredible country and its inhabitants. Like all Ukraїner materials, these are stories of real people and the places they take care of, with dialogues and without directing. Traveling around the country, we want to capture it for every Ukrainian and for the whole world. And with the beginning of the annexation war started by Russia, this book has another important goal: to show Ukraine as it was before February 24, to keep it in our memory so that after the victory it could be rebuilt, and made even better.
Als 2008 der neunte Band der Gesammelten Werke Cees Nootebooms vorlag, wünschte sich die FAZ voll Begeisterung: »Mögen diesem Band viele folgen.« Nun erscheint Band 10, der sich auf die Prosa des großen niederländischen Autors zwischen 2008 und 2015 konzentriert und dabei die außerordentlichen Facetten seines Schaffens zeigt. In dieser Zeit entstand etwa der hochgelobte Erzählungsband Nachts kommen die Füchse, der mit seiner »inständigen Erzählkunst« (FAZ) und »staunenswerten Helligkeit« (Süddeutsche Zeitung) beeindruckt, außerdem die heiter-geheimnisvollen Briefe an Poseidon sowie das Schiffstagebuch, das von fernen Reisen berichtet. Ein leidenschaftlicher, undogmatischer Reisender ist Nooteboom immer gewesen, und eben diese unvoreingenommene Neugier und Entdeckerlust zeichnen auch seine luziden Essays und Reden aus. Sei es Saigoku, der Bericht einer Pilgerreise zu Japans Tempeln, dem die subtilen Fotos von Simone Sassen zur Seite gestellt sind; seien es die hier zum Teil erstmals auf Deutsch erscheinenden Texte zur Literatur, zur Kunst und Politik – der wahre Reisende, so Nooteboom, befindet sich immer im Auge des Sturms. Lebendiger, welthaltiger kann Literatur nicht sein.
Two of today’s leading scientists, Ernst Peter Fischer and Detlev Ganten, reconfirm the legacy of two influential 19th-century researchers. To mark the 200th birthday of Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) and Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894), they explain why pioneering research and holistic thinking are still relevant for health science and practice, and for a sustainable balance of people, society and the environment. The historical achievement of Virchow and Helmholtz continues today with the work of researchers like Emmanuelle Charpentier and Christian Drosten, so ensuring that the humane idea continues to be fruitful in the future. An insight into the history of medical science.
