English | September 22, 2018 | ISBN: 9783319958033 | 230 pages | EPUB | 8.17 Mb
This book offers the first English-language translation of the finest soldier’s memoir to emerge from the Franco-Prussian War, titled With my Rucksack: The Unvarnished Campaign Memoirs of an Infantryman from the Year 1870 by Carl Rückert. Lasting from 1870-1871, this was the war that made the modern German nation and set Europe on the path to World War I, and Carl Rückert offers an unrivalled worm’s eye view of the experiences of common soldiers who fought in it. A Hessian lance corporal in the German army, he was a close observer of daily hardships, class tensions, the influence of nationalism, and the terrors of combat. He was gravely wounded in the war’s decisive battle at Gravelotte, where he was among the first Europeans to face the horrors of breech-loading rifles, machine guns, and accurate artillery. Accompanied by an insightful translator’s introduction and a wealth of footnotes, this book is an invaluable link to the everyday realities of the Franco-Prussian War.

Carl Jung, Darwin of the Mind


Free Download Thomas Lawson, "Carl Jung, Darwin of the Mind"
English | ISBN: 1855754681 | 2008 | 238 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Carl Jung, Darwin of the Mind is a review and an explanation of Jung’s thought set in an evolutionary context. Jung explored the human psyche throughout his long life. His writings, of astonishing scope and depth, elaborate on imagery that can be found in rituals, myths and fables worldwide as well as in the dreams, visions and fantasies of his patients and himself. Jung pursued common threads of meaning to the point of becoming deeply versed in the esoterica of Eastern mysticism, Gnosticism, and alchemy. Taken collectively, Jung’s works develop a coherent theory about how the psyche is constructed, including an idea of how consciousness emerged as a part of it. The author demonstrates that Jung’s concept of a collective unconscious structured by archetypes meshes well with accepted views of evolution and can be squared with the most rigorous science of today. So taken, Jung’s work is of unrivaled explanatory power and opens new vistas for understanding who we are and how we function.

Carl Schmitt – Denker Im Widerstreit Werk – Wirkung – Aktualitat


Free Download Reinhard Mehring, "Carl Schmitt – Denker Im Widerstreit: Werk – Wirkung – Aktualitat"
Deutsch | 2017 | ISBN: 3495488979 | PDF | pages: 417 | 3.0 mb
Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) ist als Theoretiker des Ausnahmezustands heute wieder ein Autor der Stunde: Kein anderer Jurist des 20. Jahrhunderts analysierte die Erosionen und Transformationen liberaldemokratischer Verfassungen in prasidiale, autoritare und diktatorische Regimes so scharfsinnig und wirkmachtig. Er war zwar ein gefahrlicher Mineur der Weimarer Verfassung und "Kronjurist" des Nationalsozialismus, wirkte aber auch nach 1945 noch als brillanter Kopf und ingenioser Anreger. Die folgende Sammlung bundelt einige – meist stark uberarbeitete – neuere Studien zum Werk, zur Wirkung und Aktualitat auf der Grundlage des Nachlasses und der zahlreichen neueren Editionen. Sie erschliesst die Entwicklungsgeschichte des Werkes, Schmitts ausgepragte Selbstdeutungen sowie die intensiven Korrespondenzen und Auseinandersetzungen mit engen Weggefahrten und Schulern: mit Ernst Rudolf Huber, Arnold Gehlen, Joachim Ritter, Reinhart Koselleck, Ernst-Wolfgang Bockenforde, Hans Blumenberg und anderen mehr. Die Sammlung endet mit drei Studien zur Aktualitat Carl Schmitts in der "aussergewohnlichen Situation" (Kanzlerin Merkel) unserer Tage.

Carl Hiaasen has been described as "one of the funniest crime writers in decades," "America’s finest satirical novelist," and a "great American writer about the great American subjects of ambition, greed, vanity, and disappointment."

The author examines Hiaasen’s entire body of work, from his earliest writing as a reporter and then columnist for the Miami Herald to his bestselling novels for both adult and young readers. While much of his writing focuses on his beloved Florida, his work has a universal appeal that has earned him global fame.

Carl Schmitt’s European Jurisprudence


Free Download Armin Von Bogdandy, "Carl Schmitt’s European Jurisprudence "
English | ISBN: 3848771683 | 2022 | 185 pages | PDF | 2 MB
With the publication of the pamphlet The Situation of European Jurisprudence, Schmitt reinvented himself as an author after 1945 and prepared the ground for his work The Nomos of the Earth, which appeared a few months later. The following book offers a productive approach to this hermeneutically demanding and strategic text by providing a translation of the 1950 version and commenting on its historical and philological context. This book then offers plural confrontations, adaptations, and transformations that Schmitt’s text implies for European jurisprudence today. It thus departs from the usual form of a commentary by clearly separating explication and transformation and proposes to employ an actualisation for the twenty-first century.
