Reynard the Fox
There are many stories featuring the villainous hero Reynard the Fox in many languages told over many centuries, goingback as far as the early 12th century. All these stories are comic and much of the humour depends on parody and satire resulting in mockery, sometimes the subversion of certain kinds of serious literature, of political and religious institutions and practices, of scholarly argument and moralizing, and of popular beliefs and customs. The contributors to this volume, all of them experts in one or more of the Reynard stories and their backgrounds, focus on the transformation of these tales through various media and to what extent they reflect differences in the cultural, class, and generational background of their tellers.
The Gender of Death
An illustrated historical study of gendered personifications of death in Western art, literature, and culture.
The accomplices of a religion
Warum gibt es die Spezies Mensch? Ist den Männern, Frauen und Kindern aus dieser Spezies möglicherweise eine bestimmte Aufgabe im Leben zugedacht? Was ist richtig oder falsch, gut oder böse? Wie sollen sie leben? Und was geschieht nach ihrem körperlichen Tod? Der Glaube, liebe Leserinnen und Leser, als Kirchendogma, bedeutet letztlich nichts anderes als geistiger Stillstand und eine Verkümmerung der Sehnsucht auf der Suche nach dem wirklichen geistigen Sein, eingebettet in der geistigen Energie. Why does the human species exist? Are men, women and children of this species possibly assigned a specific task in life? What is right or wrong, good or bad? How should they live? And what happens after her physical death? Belief, dear readers, as church dogma, ultimately means nothing more than mental standstill and a stunted longing in the search for real spiritual being, embedded in spiritual energy.
Matter and Desire
Nautilus Award Gold Medal Winner, Ecology & Environment In Matter and Desire, internationally renowned biologist and philosopher Andreas Weber rewrites ecology as a tender practice of forging relationships, of yearning for connections, and of expressing these desires through our bodies. Being alive is an erotic process--constantly transforming the self through contact with others, desiring ever more life. In clever and surprising ways, Weber recognizes that love--the impulse to establish connections, to intermingle, to weave our existence poetically together with that of other beings--is a foundational principle of reality. The fact that we disregard this principle lies at the core of a global crisis of meaning that plays out in the avalanche of species loss and in our belief that the world is a dead mechanism controlled through economic efficiency. Although rooted in scientific observation, Matter and Desire becomes a tender philosophy for the Anthropocene, a "poetic materialism," that closes the gap between mind and matter. Ultimately, Weber discovers, in order to save life on Earth--and our own meaningful existence as human beings--we must learn to love.
