Klimt's Women
Gustav Klimt images have unprecedented force and originality. His dreamlike, delicately detailed compositions seem full of light, a symphony of dazzling golds, fiery reds and oranges, flashing purples and blues, and antique coppery greens. And, most beautiful are his pictures of women, among the most tender and aesthetically pleasing works in all art history. From his very first paintings, Klimt dedicated himself to capturing the female form, and the masterpieces highlighted here include the Grecian-influenced Fable and Idylle; the gentle Pregnant Woman with Man, with the two naked title characters sweetly contemplating her rounded belly; a detail from the Beethoven Frieze; and his most famous creation, the magnificent Kiss. An essay provides invaluable background on Klimt's training, influences, and contemporary reception--and the striking, shimmering cover is in pure gold. 7 5/8 X 7 1/2. All in Color

Phenomenology
After Husserl, the study of phenomenology took off in different directions. The ambiguity inherent in phenomenology - between conscious experience and structural conditions - lent itself to a range of interpretations. Many existentialists developed phenomenology as conscious experience to analyse ethics and religion. Other phenomenologists developed notions of structural conditions to explore questions of science, mathematics, and conceptualization. "Phenomenology: Responses and Developments" covers all the major innovators in phenomenology - notably Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and the later Heidegger - and the major schools and issues. The volume also shows how phenomenological thinking encounters a limit, a limit most apparent in the aesthetical and hermeneutical development of phenomenology. The volume closes with an examination of the furthering of the division between analytic and continental philosophy.
Bettina Sharada Bäumer – ein Leben zwischen Indien und Europa
Die 1940 in Salzburg geborene Religionswissenschaftlerin und Indologin Bettina Sharada Bäumer ist eine Pionierin des Dialogs zwischen Christentum und Hinduismus und eine Brückenbauerin zwischen den Kulturen Indiens und Europas. Der erste Band dieser biographischen Studie beschreibt den zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext ihrer Herkunft aus einer Künstlerfamilie mit jüdischen Wurzeln, das Überleben der Familie in der Zeit der nationalsozialistischen Diktatur und das Aufwachsen in der Nachkriegszeit. Die Begegnung mit dem hispano-indischen Priester und Theologen Raimon Panikkar im Jahr 1961 bringt die junge Studentin der Evangelischen Theologie in Verbindung mit der Bewegung des spirituellen interreligiösen Dialogs und lenkt ihren Weg zunächst nach Rom. Dort erlebt sie den Beginn des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils und konvertiert zur katholischen Kirche. 1963 reist sie zum ersten Mal nach Indien, wo sie sich später dauerhaft niederlassen und 2011 die indische Staatsbürgerschaft annehmen wird.
Johann Feilacher - Hölzer, Skulpturen
Wood is everywhere, and is undoubtedly one of the most ancient materials used by man for creative purposes. Even today, wood remains indispensable to the creation of art, devotional objects, houses, and furniture. Johann Feilacher's sculptures are also made of wood, in fact, they are made of wood in its purest form tree trunks. Completely non-representational, their shape is entirely their own, but at the same time linked to the sculptor's ideas and thoughts at the time of creation.
