Free Download Eduard Kaeser, "Die Erde Ist Eine Keimtragerin: Lehren Aus Der Corona-pandemie"
Deutsch | 2021 | ISBN: 379654374X | PDF | pages: 159 | 1.0 mb
Das Virus hat uns kalt erwischt. Bisher richteten wir unser alarmiertes Augenmerk auf die Makro-Skala des Klimawandels und vernachlassigten straflich die organische Mikro-Skala im gesamtplanetarischen "oikos", dem Haushalt der Erde. Jetzt stellt sich heraus: Unser Planet ist ein gewaltiger Keimtrager. Und okologisch denken bedeutet, auch mit den kleinsten Mitbewohnern zu rechnen. Die Mikrobe kann deshalb als Metapher dienen fur die Macht des Zufalls; die begrenzte Operationsfahigkeit des Menschen; das unbekannte Unbekannte; das Fremde, Invasive; die Kontamination, den "Dreck". Es ist an der Zeit, sich auch philosophisch mit diesen Stellgrossen des kunftigen planetarischen Lebens auseinanderzusetzen. Die Realitat, in der wir leben, ist total viral.

Free Download Hannah Peaceman, "Die Dialektik Der Emanzipation: Das Potential Judischer Perspektiven Fur Die Politische Philosophie Der Gegenwart"
Deutsch | 2021 | ISBN: 3465045610 | PDF | pages: 346 | 3.0 mb
In der politischen Philosophie nach der Shoah sind judische Perspektiven abwesend. Der allgegenwartige Topos der judisch-christlichen Tradition verdeckt den historischen Ausschluss von Jud*innen und Judentum aus Philosophie und Gesellschaft. Ausgehend von dieser Diagnose schlagt die Untersuchung eine Erneuerung judischer Perspektiven vor. Dafur wird die Erkenntnis- und Gesellschaftskritik des Vereins fur Cultur und Wissenschaft der Juden (1819-1824) rekonstruiert. Diese zielte auf die gleichzeitige Uberwindung von innerjudischen Machtverhaltnissen und gesamtgesellschaftlicher Dominanz der christlichen Mehrheit. Als Modell einer theorie- und gesellschaftsverandernden Praxis soll diese Kritik Anregungen fur politisch-philosophische Debatten der Gegenwart geben. In political philosophy after the Shoah, Jewish perspectives are conspicuously absent. The omnipresent topos of the Judeo-Christian tradition obscures the historical exclusion of Jews and Judaism from philosophy and society. Based on this diagnosis, the study proposes a renewal of Jewish perspectives. For this purpose, the epistemological and social critique voiced by the "Verein fur Cultur und Wissenschaft der Juden" (Association for Jewish Culture and Science) (1819-1824) is reconstructed. The aim of this critique was to simultaneously overcome the power relations within the Jews and the dominance of the Christian majority in society as a whole. As a model of a theory- and society-changing practice, this critique is intended to provide inspiration for political-philosophical debates of the present.

In 2014, after a decade of political turmoil, the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) carried out Thailand's 13th coup since the country's transformation from absolute to constitutional monarchy in 1932. Though the NCPO promised to restore the rule of law, justice-long tenuous in Thailand-disappeared entirely. The legal system was used to criminalize the thoughts and actions of democratic dissidents, facilitate extrajudicial violence, and guarantee impunity for the coup and crimes by state officials.

Free Download Bob Carr, "Diary of a Foreign Minister"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1742234178, 1459677412 | EPUB | pages: 512 | 0.6 mb
Six years after vacating his position as the longest-serving premier of New South Wales, Bob Carr returned to politics in his dream job: as foreign minister of Australia and a senior federal cabinet minister. For 18 months he kept a diary documenting a whirl of high-stakes events on the world stage-the election of Australia to the UN Security Council, the war in Syria, and meetings with the most powerful people on the planet. And they all unfold against the gripping, uncertain domestic backdrop of Labor Party infighting, plummeting polls, and a leadership change from Gillard back to Rudd. This compelling diary provides an intimate glimpse into the day-to-day workings of a foreign minister and proves that Carr is not only a master politician and statesman but a great writer as well.

English | 2009 | ISBN: 0813192919 | ASIN: B097J729L9 | EPUB | pages: 296 | 2.1 mb
On October 28, 1940, the Italian army under Benito Mussolini invaded Greece. The British had insisted on guaranteeing Greek and Turkish neutrality, despite the fact that Greece was never more than a limited campaign in an unlimited war as far as they were concerned. The British, however, were never quite sure that Greece was not their last foothold in Europe, and they harbored dreams of holding on to this last bastion of civilization and of protecting it with a diplomatic and military alliance-a Balkan bloc. These dreams bore little relation to military and economic realities, and so the stage was set for tragedy.

Free Download E. Hammond Oglesby, "Diary of Agony and Hope: Waves of Folk Sayings in the Ferguson Movement"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1498231683, 1498231705 | EPUB | pages: 82 | 1.1 mb
The purpose of this book, Diary of Agony and Hope, explores the ethical themes of justice and hope through the lens of folk sayings, case studies, and real-life experiences on the part of the writer as a resident of St. Louis County for over thirty years. The writer believes that the tears for the fruits of justice in the Michael Brown, Jr. case are tears that will be further reckoned with in light of their implications for reform-especially in the use of deadly force-among police departments throughout the community of Ferguson and our troubled land. Here every American must work together for a better society! The writer believes that the daunting task of working together will build bridges of trust, understanding, and hope between police officers and the communities in which they serve: particularly communities of color. Research for this volume was largely taken from the writer's diary. Insightful and engaging, this book is a "must read" for morally concerned Americans who want to know more about the story of the Ferguson Movement. In the movement itself for justice on the part of peace protestors, we see the force of love among ordinary people of goodwill.
