 Free Download Scholastic Meditations By Nicholas Rescher 2005 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 0813214106 | PDF | 1 MB The newest volume in the ongoing Studies in Philosophy and the History of Philosophy series comprises ten essays that mediate between Scholastic concerns and contemporary philosophical issues. Distinguished author and philosopher Nicholas Rescher suggests that the Scholastic era―the 500-year period from Abelard to Suarez―was a model of philosophical activity. More than at any other stage of history, philosophy stood at the center of academic and intellectual culture. And many of the criticisms of the scholastic thinkers voiced since that time―their preoccupation with subtle distinctions and logic-chopping, for example―fail to do justice to the seriousness of their concerns and to the fact that their subtleties generally served a clear purpose with regard to the clarification of significant philosophical issues. The studies gathered in this volume seek to do homage to the spirit of Scholasticism. They address key issues in that tradition―some from an historical point of view, others from a more substantive standpoint. The essays are written in the conviction that there is much to be learned from the schoolmen even when one fails to agree with their substantive doctrinal positions. The methods they employed and their commitment to their projects have much to teach―and to inspire―us about the proper conduct of philosophizing.  Free Download Schillers Moralästhetik als verfehlte Kant-Kritik und die ‚Kalokagathia'-Idee By Barbara Neymeyr 2023 | 130 Pages | ISBN: 3495994025 | PDF | 1 MB Kritisch analysiert das Buch Schillers Moralästhetik als vermeintlich moderatere Alternative zur Pflichtethik Kants. In Abkehr von gängigen Forschungsthesen wird gezeigt, dass die Einwände von Schiller, aber auch Schopenhauer und Nietzsche gegen Kant auf Fehlurteilen beruhen und dass Schillers eigener Entwurf sogar einen Moralrigorismus wider Willen impliziert. Zudem enthält Schillers Konzeption von ›Anmut‹ und ›Würde‹ Inkonsequenzen, deren Ursache eruiert wird. Über die problemorientierten systematischen Analysen hinaus macht eine kulturhistorische Horizontbildung evident, wie sehr Schiller und Hölderlin durch die antiken Ideale der ›Kalokagathia‹ und ›Sympatheia‹ geprägt sind, die sich von der Philosophie Kants fundamental unterscheiden.

Free Download Schenkungen in fraudem testamenti: Zur analogen Anwendbarkeit der §§ 2287, 2288 BGB beim gemeinschaftlichen Testament. Zugleich ein Beitrag zur Entstehungsgeschichte der Bindungswirkung des gemeinschaftlichen Testaments im Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuch By Sticherling, Philipp 2005 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 3428118235 | PDF | 1 MB Verschenkt der Überlebende sein Vermögen zu Lebzeiten, so wird der Vertragserbe beim Erbvertrag über die §§ 2287, 2288 BGB geschützt. In Rechtsprechung und Schrifttum werden diese Vorschriften ohne größeres Problembewusstsein auf das Berliner Testament übertragen. Im neueren Schrifttum finden sich vereinzelt kritische Stimmen. Diese stellen insbesondere das historische Fundament der herrschenden Meinung in Frage und bieten dem Autor Anlass, die Analogie einer umfassenden historischen Prüfung zu unterziehen.Ausführungen zur Methode der Rechtsfortbildung, mit denen Philipp Sticherling die Bedeutung der historischen Gesetzesauslegung hervorhebt und sich zur subjektiven Auslegungstheorie bekennt, folgt ein Gang durch die Entstehungsgeschichte der Vorschriften über den Erbvertrag und das gemeinschaftliche Testament von den Römern und Germanen bis hin zum BGB. Im Vordergrund stehen hierbei die Bindungswirkungen beider Rechtsinstitute. Die historischen Ergebnisse stärken die herrschende Meinung und widerlegen die kritischen Stimmen jüngster Zeit.Sticherling stellt dem Berliner Testament den Erbvertrag mit Rücktrittsvorbehalt an die Seite. Er kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass nicht nur historische Argumente für eine Gleichbehandlung sprechen und ist der Ansicht, dass sich bei Wahl des richtigen Vergleichsobjekts kaum noch Unterschiede zeigen.Schließlich geht der Autor über die herrschende Meinung hinaus, die die §§ 2287, 2288 BGB erst nach dem Tod des Erstversterbenden analog anwenden will. Er schließt sich einer im Vordringen befindlichen Meinung an, wonach die §§ 2287, 2288 BGB - unter bestimmten Umständen - Schenkungen zu Lebzeiten beider Ehegatten erfassen sollen. Er geht noch einen Schritt weiter und fordert unter Berücksichtigung der historischen Erkenntnisse eine generelle Anwendung der §§ 2287, 2288 BGB zu Lebzeiten beider Ehegatten.

Through letters to his daughters that feel personal to all of us, John Sowers encourages us to release these unspoken words of love so there are no doubts in our relationships nor regrets in our lives. "Many of us go through life with words and feelings stranded in our hearts. Words we deeply feel but never say. Sometimes we never have the chance. We don't always get to say goodbye. We don't always know when it will be our last hug, high five, smile, laugh, or 'I love you.' All we have is today, now, and what we do in this one, shining moment." So many of us rarely share our hearts or speak those deep, hidden sentiments-but why? John Sowers began writing letters to his three daughters to show how much he loved them and to encourage them in their daily lives. These moving and eloquent letters remind all of us how important it is to share the contents of our heart now.

These love letters will echo in your own heart, reminding you of your Father in heaven, who loves you and is for you. A treasure for anyone seeking to create a legacy of love in their relationships, you can seize every precious moment you have to say all the unspoken things.  Free Download Saved by Grace: The Holy Spirit's Work in Calling and Regeneration By Herman Bavinck, J. Mark Beach (editor) 2008 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1601780524 | EPUB | 1 MB In the late nineteenth century, two distinct reform movements coming out of the Dutch State Reformed Church (the Afscheiding of 1834 and the Doleantie of 1886) merged to form The Reformed Churches of the Netherlands (De Geereformeerde Kerken in Nederland). While both groups had much in common, there remained fundamental points of disagreement, which erupted into controversies over such doctrines as immediate regeneration and presumptive regeneration.In Saved by Grace, Herman Bavinck discusses God s gracious work in bringing fallen sinners to new life and salvation. He gives a careful historical analysis that shows how Reformed theologians have wrestled to understand and express the Holy Spirit s work in calling and regeneration since the seventeenth century. Bavinck also brings exegetical precision and theological clarity to the discussion, carefully avoiding the errors of undervaluing and overvaluing the use of means in work of salvation. This book, therefore, takes up questions with which every new generation of Reformed writers must grapple.  Free Download Satellite Communications, 3rd edition by Timothy Pratt, Jeremy Allnutt English | 2021 | ISBN: 9354243037 | 632 Pages | True ePUB | 17 MB  Free Download Manuela Consonni, "Sartre, Jews, and the Other: Rethinking Antisemitism, Race, and Gender " English | ISBN: 3110597438 | 2020 | 304 pages | EPUB | 2 MB The starting point for this compilation is the wish to rethink the concept of antisemitism, race and gender in light of Sartre's pioneering Réflexions sur la Question Juive seventy years after its publication. The book gathers texts by prestigious scholars from different disciplines in the Humanities and the Social Sciences, with the objective or revisiting this work locating it within the setting of two other pioneering - and we argue, related - publications, namely Simone De Beauvoir's Le deuxième sexe of 1949 and Franz Fanon's Peau noire et masques blancs of 1952. This particular and original standpoint sheds new light on the different meanings and political functions of the concept of antisemitism in a political and historical context marked by the post-modern concepts of multi-ethnicity and multiculturalism.
