Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Hume's essay 'Of Miracles' has the reputation of providing, in Hume's own words, an 'everlasting check' to accepting reports of miracles. Author Robert Larmer demonstrates that this reputation is undeserved. Taking seriously the environment in which 'Of Miracles' was composed reveals that its arguments are neither original to Hume nor compelling. Both before and after the publication of 'Of Miracles' these arguments received devastating criticisms by Hume's predecessors and contemporaries. Contemporary revisionary attempts to defend the argument by insisting that Hume cannot really have meant what he has traditionally been understood to claim are inevitably guilty of eisegesis and systematically ignoring crucial passages fatal to their idiosyncratic readings.The clarity of Larmer's writing makes Hume's Counterfeit Check accessible both to professional academics and interested lay persons. Anyone interested in assessing the rationality of accepting testimonial evidence for the occurrence of miracles should view this book as required reading.'Hume's Counterfeit Check is the best book on the historical context and reception of Hume's argument on miracles in over fifty years - deeply informed and judicious yet written with a light touch that makes this material accessible to non-specialist readers.

The essays in this volume expertly challenge this view, assiduously placing the boycott in much wider religious and political contexts.»(Geoffrey Alderman, Professor Emeritus, University of Buckingham)«The contributors brilliantly embed the Limerick Boycott amid the land and cultural movements that reshaped Irish society, while demonstrating convincingly that European trends informed those at the centre of the boycott. Equally, they use new sources to interrogate the contested memories that played a significant role in shaping earlier scholarship.»(Timothy G. McMahon, Associate Professor of History, Marquette University)The Limerick Boycott, instituted in January 1904 by the Redemptorist priest, Fr John Creagh, remains Ireland's most iconic symbol of anti-Jewish prejudice. A relatively minor, localized episode, the boycott has come to be remembered as a pogrom which effectively destroyed an established provincial Jewish community. This volume brings together new and established scholars in the fields of Irish History and Jewish Studies to provide the first in-depth, critical investigation of the history, historiography, and cultural memory of its events and their afterlife, by examining them through a variety of lenses: local, political, economic, theological/ecclesiastical, sectarian, and Jewish. 286 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the «postcolonial modern» across South Asian literatures and cultures, while demonstrating that postcoloniality is an ongoing lived experience and that modernity has always been a many-voiced historical reality. It contends that our realities and our sense of a location within them have always comprised an experiential manyness of time and space that cannot forcibly be reconciled into identities that are singularly imagined. Therefore, whether viewed historically or experientially, categories such as modernity, postcoloniality, nationhood, or gender cannot be understood singularly. The author reflects on such core tensions within representations and theorizations of postcoloniality. They contemplate possibilities for a lexicon that encompasses the vast polyvalences and precarities that constitute our being, thinking and pursuits of joy and dignity from locations within the «postcolonies», and through it the tangible labors of anticolonial thought and decolonization. 138 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book discusses various dimensions of the philosophical problems posed by the conception of identity. It looks at philosophical debates centred on ethnic identity, nationalism, and culture, where phenomenological grounding for otherness in Northeast India is extensively studied. It hermeneutically analyses tribal culture, religion, tradition of different ethnic groups that inhabit in Northeast India. The book highlights important issues the tribals here are facing today that are linked to their cultural religion and traditional life. It also examines how humans develop an understanding of themselves vis-à-vis their relationships with others. The philosophical discussion on the concept of tribal as a category of ontology is attempted to offer certain manifested realities on the problems entailed by the question 'Who is the Other' It also discusses nationalism and the search for the other's otherness as a value signifier of identity, and how each of the different identities has a relative significance in different contexts. 178 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -From the Foreword:«Dis-orienting the Maghreb offers a valuable contribution to both scholarship on travel literature and postcolonial studies. Rddad's emphasis on geographical specificity and his focus on the often-neglected travel narratives of Morocco provide a much-needed corrective to the prevailing trends in the field that privilege temporality and continuity. His work not only broadens our understanding of Orientalist discourse but also contributes to the study of travel literature by highlighting the diversity and complexity of Western representations of the Maghreb. His nuanced approach invites readers and scholars alike to reconsider the ways in which we engage with and interpret the rich tradition of travel writing that have shaped our understanding of the world.»(Ali Behdad, John Charles Hills Chair in Literature, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, and the Director of the Center for Near Eastern Studies at University of California, Los Angeles)This book rethinks the encounters between Morocco and the West by exploring the ideological and historical foundations of the discursive shifts in Anglo-American travel writing on Morocco. Four major paradigm shifts are identified that characterize travel writing's production of knowledge in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, an era which started placing Morocco in the narrative of Western civilization. The national(ist) turn considers the ways in which Philip Durham Trotter's Our Mission to the Court of Marocco (1880) foregrounds a parochial patriotic rhetoric founded on the notion of the «British priority discourse. » The secular turn examines Frances Macnab's A Ride in Morocco (1902) to underscore the supremacy of the secular intent of colonialism over the religious and missionary channels in the dissemination of modernism. The transnational turn examines George Edmond Holt's Morocco the Piquant (1914) in terms of the cultural and ideological transformations of discursive forms in the USA and Morocco in the era of transnationalism. Finally, the imperial turn discusses Edith Wharton's In Morocco (1920) to reveal the anxieties of a discourse trapped between the advocacy of American nationalism and French colonialism. 278 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The central issue of this volume is violence against women and young girls as part of symbolic or systemic violence, overt or subtle, and its impact on their health and general well-being. Recognised as a determinant of health, violence has been aptly described as a silent epidemic affecting women not only in Europe but globally.This book aims to provide an additional platform for discussing the issue of violence against women and young girls, with a particular focus on its impact on health. The central question of this volume is the nature of interdisciplinary studies on gender violence, bringing together sociologists, lawyers, psychologists, anthropologists and biologists.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 148 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -In 1952, a terminally ill Harold Innis asked his closest intellectual confidant, Tom Easterbrook, to teach his signature course on communications on his behalf. With Innis's premature death, the course turned out to be both Innis's final course and the first course on Innis.Alongside Edward Comor's detailed Introduction, Easterbrook's previously unknown lectures clarify aspects of Innisian scholarship that have been obscured, neglected, or forgotten. These include Easterbrook's understanding that Innis applied his concept of bias more broadly than most realize, that through references to media Innis strategically sought to promote certain values, and that Innis had become increasingly interested in the role played by institutions such as language, law, and the nation.Given Easterbrook's intimate understanding of Innis's methodology and research trajectories, this book is a rich resource for anyone interested in Innis and the foundations of media ecology.'Edward Comor's book is like a time machine that takes us on a trip to 1950s-era University of Toronto and to the final days of the late, great Harold Innis. It provides an intimate and detailed window into the research and teaching of a scholar widely considered to be a pioneer in the field of media ecology. This book is highly recommended and an essential read for all of those interested in the history of communications technology.'Ron Deibert, Professor of Political Science and Director of the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab'Before his untimely death in 1952, Harold Innis wrote some of the most important works in communications studies in North America. In addition to his published scholarship, Innis presented his ideas to undergraduates at the University of Toronto through a course that his former PhD student Tom Easterbrook took over when his health failed. By assembling and contextualizing course materials and by drawing from conversations between Innis and Easterbrook during the preceding summer, Edward Comor gives scholars a fascinating window into Innis's pedagogical approach, his end-of-life concerns, as well as what for Innis remained unfinished. Through Comor's extensive introduction and the publication of Easterbrook's lectures for the course, readers also will gain understanding as to how Innis communicated his ideas and how he was interpreted by students - both those in the class and Easterbrook.'Michael Stamm, Chair and Professor, Department of History, Michigan State UniversityLang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 232 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book traces the development of autofiction along with the other directions it has led to, such as autoethnography and autotheory, and explores their textual potentialities to reproduce underrepresented realities of multi-ethnicity. It presents how the hybridity and in-betweenness of these mixed literary novelties mirror the multi-ethnic feeling of being caught between different cultural worlds, and how their ambivalence within literary categorisation provides spaces of inclusion for individuals whose multiple ethnicities transcend the rigid borders of pre-existing racial, national, ethnic and cultural classifications. Despite claiming to focus on authors labelled under 'Black British Women', the book shows the ineffectiveness of homogenising categories, yielding implications for the reconsideration of the hegemonic divisions between 'Europeanness' and 'Africanness'.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 212 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Amid climate change, digital transformation, global warming, economic recessions, and rising geopolitical tensions, K-12 and higher education are undergoing a profound transformation. All these remarkable and unsettling changes, along with groundbreaking advancements over the past decade, will undoubtedly impact students' learning trajectories and significantly reshape the conventional model of schooling. We must recognize that today's younger generation faces entirely new challenges, and the future of humanity remains uncertain for them. They do not learn, think, or behave in the same way as previous generations. The ways in which young people learn and communicate have evolved more in the past decade than in the entire previous century. Educational institutions are struggling to keep up with rapid changes in an increasingly competitive marketplace, while companies cannot train workers quickly or cost-effectively enough to remain competitive. Parents are increasingly seeking 'better' education and schools for their children. Meanwhile, governments and politicians are implementing system-wide reforms, and employers are voicing concerns about the 'skills gap,' often frantically and in vain, demanding an education system that meets both workforce and societal needs. Students, too, are acutely aware that the current education system does not adequately prepare them for the uncertainties ahead. Thus, this book's value lies in its exploration of the quantum paradigm and the new opportunities it offers the younger generation, focusing on innovative business models in schooling, new pedagogies, updated curricula, and modern assessment methods. It aims to reach a broad audience, including school leaders, teachers, students, parents, and policymakers.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 220 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -No matter how much we would like it to be otherwise, there are no simple straightforward solutions to moral dilemmas , nor there is a single way to approach ethical issues. Every ethical challenge can be examined from various perspectives, and thus, the outcome may vary depending on the path chosen. For centuries, philosophers have been trying to find answers to fundamental questions such as 'What does it mean to be a 'good' person ' and 'What should laws and norms entail ' While these questions led to nuanced and insightful discussions attracting the attention of people from diverse aspects of life, so far there has been no absolute success in resolving them. However, by adding the tools of quantum paradigm to those of conventional philosophy, we may illuminate these complex questions. Drawing upon one of the most famous quotes attributed to Plato - 'the right question is usually more important than the right answer'- the purpose of this book is not to find the 'right' answers. Instead, it seeks to offer the kind of insight that is drawn from behavioral science and the wisdom of influential philosophers throughout centuries. The book is crafted to guide readers in exploring ethics through some important philosophers, social psychological experiments, and ethical codes. This book will ensure that what answers you might arrive at the end will be built on a more solid foundation than before.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 234 pp. Englisch.…
