Aristophanes in Performance, 421 BC-AD 2007
Flying to Heaven to demand an end to war, building Cloudcuckooland in the sky, descending to Hades to retrieve a dead tragedian - such were the cosmic missions on which Aristophanes, the father of comedy, sent his heroes of the classical Athenian stage. The wit, intellectual bravura, political clout and sheer imaginative power of Aristophanes' quest dramas have profoundly influenced humorous literature and satire, but this volume, which originated at an international conference held at the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama at Oxford University in 2004, is the first interdisciplinary study of their seminal contribution to the evolution of comic performance. Interdisciplinary es...
Kierkegaard and the Greek World: Socrates and Plato
The articles in this volume employ source-work research to trace Kierkegaard's understanding and use of authors from the Greek tradition. A series of figures of varying importance in Kierkegaard's authorship are treated, ranging from early Greek poets to late Classical philosophical schools. In general it can be said that the Greeks collectively constitute one of the single most important body of sources for Kierkegaard's thought. He studied Greek from an early age and was profoundly inspired by what might be called the Greek spirit. Although he is generally considered a Christian thinker, he was nonetheless consistently drawn back to the Greeks for ideas and impulses on any number of topics. He frequently contrasts ancient Greek philosophy, with its emphasis on the lived experience of the individual in daily life, with the abstract German philosophy that was in vogue during his own time. It has been argued that he modeled his work on that of the ancient Greek thinkers specifically in order to contrast his own activity with that of his contemporaries.
Mind, Values, and Metaphysics
There are three themed parts to this book: values, ethics and emotions in the first part, epistemology, perception and consciousness in the second part and philosophy of mind and philosophy of language in the third part. Papers in this volume provide links between emotions and values and explore dependency between language, meanings and concepts and topics such as the liar’s paradox, reference and metaphor are examined. This book is the second of a two-volume set that originates in papers presented to Professor Kevin Mulligan, covering the subjects that he contributed to during his career. This volume opens with a paper by Moya, who proposes that there is an asymmetrical relation between t...
Volume 3: Kierkegaard and the Roman World
While Kierkegaard's use of the Greek authors, particularly Plato and Aristotle, has attracted considerable attention over the years, his use of the Roman authors has, by contrast, remained sadly neglected. This neglect is somewhat surprising given the fact that Kierkegaard was extremely well read in Latin from his early youth when he attended the Borgerdyd School in Copenhagen. Kierkegaard's interest in the Roman authors is perhaps best evidenced by his book collection. In his private library he had a long list of Latin titles and Danish translations of the standard Roman authors in any number of different genres. His extensive and frequent use of writers such as Cicero, Horace, Terence, Sen...
Foreign Words
A new perspective on the principal developments in translation practice and theory in Germany during the Age of Goethe with emphasis on the work of Goethe, Hölderlin, and Kleist as translators. The turn of the nineteenth century was a particularly fertile period in the history of translation theory and practice. With an unprecedented number of works being carefully translated and scrutinized, this era saw a definite shift in the dominant mode of translation. Many translators began attempting, for the first time, to communicate the formal characteristics, linguistic features, and cultural contexts of the original text while minimizing the paraphrasing that distorted most eighteenth-century t...
Praxis des Mathematikunterrichts 1750-1930. Längsschnittstudie zur Implementation und geschichtlichen Entwicklung des Mathematikunterrichts am Ratsgymnasium Bielefeld
Das Ratsgymnasium Bielefeld bildet den roten Faden in einer bildungsgeschichtlichen Fallstudie zur Praxis des Mathematikunterrichts 1750-1930. Diskussionen um den Mathematikunterricht gibt es nicht erst seit PISA. Die spannende Frage war und ist: Welche zeitlichen Stromungen, padagogischen und fachdidaktischen Konzepte kommen wirklich in der Schule an? Genau dieser Frage geht die Studie nach. Sie entwickelt dabei - von der Aufklarung bis zur Reformpadagogik -- ein facettenreiches und plastisches Bild, genauer viele Bilder von Mathematikunterricht. "Als besonders ergiebig hat es sich erwiesen, die Lehrer als Trager der fachdidaktischen und padagogischen Konzepte ausfuhrlicher vorzustellen und ,zu Wort` kommen zu lassen." Anlasse fur Diskussionen gab es genug. Schulinspektionen und offentliche Prufungen fanden viel regelmassiger als heute statt. Neu und anders gesehen, auch kritisch, wird in dieser Arbeit die Meraner Reform zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts, und zwar im Hinblick auf die Frage nach ihren oraussetzungen sowie ihrer Akzeptanz und ihrer Umsetzung an den Schulen. Hierzu sind auch Schulerlosungen, die noch im Original vorliegen, ausgewertet worden.
