Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Sigmund Freud (German pronunciation: ), born Sigismund Schlomo Freud (6 May 1856 - 23 September 1939), was a Jewish Austrian neurologist who founded the psychoanalytic school of psychiatry. Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the defense mechanism of repression, and for creating the clinical practice of psychoanalysis for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient, technically referred to as an "analysand", and a psychoanalyst. Freud is also renowned for his redefinition of sexual desire as the primary motivational energy of human life, as well as for his therape...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Online finden Sie die kostenlose Aktualisierung der Bücher. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Johannes (engl. John) Duns Scotus (* um 1266 in Duns, Schottland; † 8. November 1308 in Köln) war ein schottischer Theologe und Philosoph der Scholastik. Nachdem er in Northampton die Priesterweihe erhalten hatte, studierte und lehrte er in Cambridge, Oxford, Paris und Köln. Als einer der bedeutendsten franziskanischen Theologen begründete er die nach ihm benannte scholastische Richtung des Scotismus. Er verband darin u. a. Lehren des Aristoteles, des Augustinus und der Franziskaner auf feinfühlige Art miteinander, so dass Zeitgenossen ihn auch Doctor subtilis nannten. Duns Scotus untersuchte die philosophischen Kategorien der Möglichkeit und Notwendigkeit mit den Formen der Modallogik, wobei er diese in nichtformaler Weise anwandte. Diese Fragestellung spielt auch heute noch in der Philosophie eine große Rolle. Ferner bewertete er Glauben, Wille und Liebe höher als Wissen und Vernunft. Als einer der ersten mittelalterlichen Denker betrachtete er Philosophie und Theologie als unterschiedliche Disziplinen mit unterschiedlichen Aussagegehalten. Scotus wurde am 20. März 1993 von Papst Johannes Paul I...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=120406 ... Read more

This book reduces Nietzsche to rhetorical devices and tropes.Many out of control discussions are on hand, eventuating in nothing worth remembering.The idea of this book seems to be to reinforce the idea that morality is boring, that no one should find thinking about morality interesting, and that if you just call boring prose dangerous, then it is.The argument in this book goes all the way back to Paul Valery, Derrida's inspiration, who misunderstood Saussure.Valery argues that philosophy has all the marks of literature, and so is indistinguishable from it, and so just is more literature -- no different from comic books, grafitti and wedding vows.But Quine found no marks of science that were not to be found in philosophy, yet philosophy does not reduce to science.The argument is no better from the side of art.Philosophy does not reduce to art.Valery was wrong, and so is the Magnus group. ...

Extrait : Ernst Linder (25 avril 1868, Pohja, Empire russe - 14 avril 1943) était un général suédois d'origine finlandaise, qui servit au sein de l'armée suédoise puis de l'armée finlandaise, entre 1887 et 1940. Cavalier émérite, il s'illustra également dans les compétitions internationales d'équitation, remportant la médaille d'or de l'épreuve de dressage des Jeux Olympiques de 1924. Ernst Linder est issu de la petite noblesse suédoise, et sa famille tisse ses liens jusqu'en Westphalie. Son père, Christoffer Alexander Ernst Linder, également connu sous le nom d'Ernst Linder l'Ancien, fut un homme politique et un marchand prospère finlandais. Linder passe son examen d'entrée dans l'armée en 1887, son examen d'officier en 1889, et entre à l'école des cadets de Stockholm dont il suit les cours entre 1892 et 1894. Il fait carrière dans l'armée suédoise entre 1887 et 1918, puis au sein de l'armée finlandaise lors de la Guerre civile finlandaise. Il commande alors des troupes finlandaises, tandis que les volontaires venant du Royaume de Suède combattent sous le commandement de Harald Hjalmarson, au sein de la Brigade suédoise. Durant ce conflit, il passe colonel début 1918 et il est promu major-général le 13 avril 1918. Il commande le groupe d'armées Satakunta, dont le périmètre d'action s'étend de la côte occidentale de la Finlande sur le golfe de Botnie jusqu'au lac Näsijärvi. Après le conflit, il reprend du service comme inspecteur de cavalerie au sein de l'armée finlandaise, du 12 décembre 1918 au 24 juillet 1919. De fait, Linder était un grand cavalier.

3-0 out of 5 stars Mixed Bag of Essays
Edited by Magnus and Higgins this installment of the Cambridge Companions series examines the influential work of the great nineteenth century thinker Friedrich Nietzsche.Though the series professed audience includes both the specialist and the non-specialist reader, the latter expert reader would seem to be the better fit given that many of the contributions deal with niche issues and nuances of interpretation.

In general the essays are of solid quality, if a touch too revisionist and apologetic - trying hard to refute the popular view of Nietzsche as gifted but troubled and angry man and recast him as a strong, self-made and misunderstood individual.Perhaps some such recasting is appropriate, however, it is overdone in several of the essays and may be misleading to those new to Nietzsche.The essays also have a distinctly mid-late twentieth century continental flavor - a broader perspective might make the text appealing to a wider audience.

With regard to specific contributions, Solomon's essay on the ad hominem in Nietzsche was far and away my favorite.It is an outstanding discussion of ad hominem argumentation in general, and, an insightful analysis of Nietzsche employment of such personal attack.Although I believe variants of this essay are published elsewhere, the text is worth picking up for it alone.

The overview of Nietzsche's work by Magnus and Higgins is also helpful, as is Behler's look at Nietzsche's reception in the twentieth century.With regard to weakness, the essays by Nehamas and Schrift add little and could be dropped in future editions.

Overall, the majority of this text is probably only of interest for dedicated connoisseurs of Nietzsche.

2-0 out of 5 stars nothin much here
This is like the other cambridge companions: it is not a reference work, is not thorough, is not authoritative nor objective. This is a collection of essays tending toward the highly speculative, each around 50 pages in length. They range from the silly to the ok, and none are very impressive. The cambridge companion series is misleadingly titled. They cater to narrow interests, not to the general public. Students who need a basic understanding of Nietzsche before they start delving into special topics will find almost no assistance here. Most of the material is of the professorial, specialized, not-generally-interesting variety.

5-0 out of 5 stars Cambridge Companion to Nietzsche
I felt that this Cambridge Companion was extremely well written and provides an inquisitive and responsible look at Nietzsches works.It provides a rational and judicious insight into Nietzsches philosophical writtings, as well as his personal life, allowing the reader to furtherunderstand this often times misrepresented philosopher.Any CambridgeCompanion is a must for an individual who is interested in a deep study ofa philosopher for it acts as a teacher; guiding the student throughdifficult passages and texts. ...

Product Description
Chapters: Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, Rickard Sandler, Tobias Enström, Magdalena Forsberg, Tobias Viklund, Magnus Wernblom. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 26. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Olof Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (27 February 1867, Ullånger, Ångermanland, Sweden 3 December 1942, Östersund, Sweden) was a Swedish composer and music critic. As a composer, his main musical influences were Grieg, August Söderman and Wagner as well as Swedish folk idiom. Peterson-Berger studied at the Stockholm Conservatory from 1886-89 and then in Dresden for a year. He is best known for three albums of national romantic piano pieces entitled Frösöblomster I, II and III (Flowers of Frösö), which includes the often performed Vid Frösö kyrka (At Frösö Church) and Sommarsång (Summer Song). The sets, which were composed during a time of 18 years (1896 - 1914) and brought together afterwards as a collection represent the romantic, nationalistic and typical Swedish mindset. The most famous of the pieces, Sommarsång (Summer Song) recalls the warm, calm, harmonious and bright pre-summer evenings where the sun in the north almost never goes down; they were the great breakthrough for Wilhelm. Sommarsång is still known to almost every Swede, even to people generally uninterested in music: the majority of young piano students in the Nordic countries have been taught this piece. His songs for vocal ensemble are also still regularly performed, and are part of the core repertoire of Swedish choirs. His other works include the five symphonies - among them are no.2 Sunnanfärd and no.3 Same-Ätnam generally considered the best - as well as the operas Ran, Arnljot, Domedagsprofeterna ("The Doomsday Prophets") and Adils och Elisiv ("Adils and Elisiv"). His command of the larger forms, in both architecture and instru...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2544957 ... Read more
