Brings together twelve essays by Nicholas Tyacke about English Protestantism, which range from the Reformation itself, and the new market-place of ideas opened up, to the establishment of freedom of worship for Protestant nonconformists in 1689. For this collection the author has written a substantial introduction, and updated the essays by incorporating new research. ;

Philosophie und Lebensform
by Julian Nida-Rümelin
Gründe geben unserer rational und normativ verfaßten Lebensform die Struktur, deren wir als Menschen bedürfen – als Mitglieder dieser, wie Julian Nida-Rümelin sagt, »merkwürdigen Spezies, deren hinreichend entwickelte Exemplare sich in ihren Urteilen und ihrem Handeln von Gründen leiten lassen«. Welche Rolle spielt dabei die wissenschaftliche Erkenntnis? In welchem Verhältnis stehen Lebensform und Wissenschaft, Bedeutung und Intention, Ethik und Alltagspraxis, Moral und Politik? Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigen sich die hier versammelten philosophischen Abhandlungen von Nida-Rümelin, die seine pragmatistische Philosophie exemplarisch dokumentieren.

Humanistische Reflexionen.
by Julian Nida-Rümelin
Ein recht verstandener Humanismus ist die Antwort auf die aktuelle Unordnung der Welt – so lautet die Zentralthese des neuen Buches von Julian Nida-Rümelin, der unter »Humanismus« weit mehr versteht als eine Geisteshaltung oder gar das angestaubte Relikt längst vergangener Zeiten. Humanismus ist vor allem eine Praxis der Menschlichkeit und damit die einzige Hoffnung auf eine friedliche, gerechte und prosperierende Weltgesellschaft der Zukunft. Damit der Humanismus seine Prägekraft zurückgewinnt, die er in einigen Phasen der Weltgeschichte hatte, muss er revitalisiert, muss er von Grund auf erneuert werden. Die Texte in diesem Band wollen dazu einen Beitrag leisten.

Democracy Into Children's Minds
Why our future will be decided in schools
by Julian Nida-Rümelin/Klaus Zierer
— By two renowned authors from the fields of philosophy and education — Julian Nida-Rümelin – a popular talk show guest The debate about the correct school policy has been going on for many years. And there's no end to the bad news regarding the shortage of teachers, poor performance by students at PISA or the lack of suitable equipment in schools. What is being neglected in the discussions about the education policy but is, in fact, a central momentum in its development, is the school's task of conveying democratic values and patterns of action. This is the only way our society's supporting pillars can be strengthened in future generations. In the light of the complex situation, from the authors' point of view it is important to formulate a wake-up call: Democracy education – now!

The Detention Pros
by Kirsten John/Miryam Specht
Clara, Julian, Felix and Fee must have done something bad, because they are waiting for a severe punishment: detention. “Detention” is actually the wrong word. In fact their task is to get the school garden into shape, which includes the fountain with non-stop snapping turtles. But oh, shock horror! First of all, Felix digs up a skull. Then several suspicious looking men turn up, alleging that they are sports teachers. Could this be the cover-up of a murder? And what is the grumpy housemaster Kratzek hiding? In order to find out just what is going on at the closed school, the four detainees must stick together at all costs – and that is the biggest adventure of them all.

The Unorthodox Imagination in Late Medieval Britain
by Sophie Page, Julian Hoppit
The unorthodox imagination in late medieval Britain explores how medieval people responded to images, stories, beliefs and practices which were at odds with the normative world view, from the heretical and subversive to the marvellous and exotic. The chapter by Jean-Claude Schmitt examines why some unorthodox images were viewed as provocative and threatening and explores how successfully ecclesiastical authorities contained their impact. The power of unorthodoxy to provoke wonder, scepticism or disapproval provides an opportunity to view medieval culture from fresh perspectives. The essays in this volume show that unorthodoxy was embedded in mainstream medieval culture, from stories of fairies and witches which promoted orthodox moral values to the social conformity of practitioners of ritual magic. This book provides a guide to understanding medieval unorthodoxy and the roles played by experience and imagination in medieval encounters with the unorthodox. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the exotic, provocative and deviant in medieval culture. ;

Race, nation and empire
Making histories, 1750 to the present
by Catherine Hall, Keith McClelland, Julian Hoppit
The essays in this collection show how histories written in the past, in different political times, dealt with, considered, or avoided and disavowed Britain's imperial role and issues of difference. Ranging from enlightenment historians to the present, these essays consider both individual historians, including such key figures as E. A. Freeman, G. M. Trevelyan and Keith Hancock, and also broader themes such as the relationship between liberalism, race and historiography and how we might re-think British history in the light of trans-national, trans-imperial and cross-cultural analysis. 'Britishness' and what 'British' history is have become major cultural and political issues in our time. But as these essays demonstrate, there is no single national story: race, empire and difference have pulsed through the writing of British history. The contributors include some of the most distinguished historians writing today: C. A. Bayly, Antoinette Burton, Saul Dubow, Geoff Eley, Theodore Koditschek, Marilyn Lake, John M. MacKenzie, Karen O'Brien, Sonya O. Rose, Bill Schwarz, Kathleen Wilson. ;
