Mozart
A Stanford University Press classic.
Mozart
In the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth, few people would question his rating as the most popular of all classical composers. Yet there exists no substantial, up-to-date English-language study of the man and his works. Aiming to fill this gap, Sadie draws substantially on family correspondence, and discusses individual works in sequence, relating them to the events and relationships of his life. Much new material connected with Mozart has come to light in recent years and understanding of the context for Mozart's music has broadened immensely. Sadie's biography digests and interprets this corpus of new information.
Kant and Eighteenth-Century German Philosophy
The purpose of this anthology is to bring together in one volume some of the texts published in the series "Werkprofile", which focus on Kant’s relationship to his philosophical contemporaries and predecessors, and to make them accessible to a wider audience in English. In doing so, the volume is aimed at those who have an interest in better understanding the premises of Kant's philosophy, its historical context, and the development of many of Kant’s fundamental ideas. As it is often hard to glean philosophical motivation directly from reading Kant’s texts, understanding Kant’s commitment to answering certain questions and his silence on others, requires a historical approach.

Music in Jewish Thought
With the nineteenth century came new freedom for European Jews. Enjoying an integration that had been denied since the Middle Ages, they now wrestled with the form and degree of that integration in all areas of their lives, including in their creation, appreciation, and criticism of music. The writings focus on Jewish musicology, biography, historical surveys, secular music and songs performed in the synagogue.
Die kalte Wut
Die Rede vom »Ressentiment« ist im heutigen Gesellschaftsfeuilleton inflationär. Auch Politologie, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft nutzen den Begriff gern. Oft ist von Ressentiment die Rede, wo es schlicht Neid, Hass oder Groll heißen könnte. Hat der Begriff mehr zu bieten als das Renommee eines Fremdworts? Ist Ressentiment gar eine kulturelle Schlüsselstimmung, die erschreckende Einsichten über uns bereithält? Jürgen Große stellt sich diesen Fragen auf unkonventionelle Weise. Er forscht der Geschichte des Ressentimentbegriffs nach, aber auch den Bedürfnissen, die dieser bis heute befriedigt. Die Studie ist systematisch und historisch angelegt. Der erste Teil diskutiert die Theorien einiger Ressentiment-Klassiker. Der zweite Teil erkundet die Funktion des Ressentimentgedankens von der frühneuzeitlichen Moralistik bis zur bundesdeutschen Gegenwart. »Ressentiment«, so wird dabei immer klarer, steht für das paradoxe Versprechen einer mehrheitsfähigen, sozial friedfertigen Bürgerlichkeit.
