Rudolf Steiner
Following his major work on Rudolf Steiner's ten visits to Britain, Crispian Villeneuve studies Steiner's relationship to the British Isles during the approximately forty years before those visits. The theme of Steiner's early connection to British culture leads inevitably to the broader topic of his relationship to modern science. This in turn highlights the polarity and tension between the Goethean philosophic view that arises from Central Europe, and the "Baconian" perspective emanating from Western Europe. Interweaving these contrasting Baconian and Goethean worldviews, Villeneuve presents numerous primary texts--often culled from obscure sources and many previously unavailable in English--with commentary on Rudolf Steiner and the nineteenth century. We learn about Steiner's teachers, Karl Julius Schröer and Edmund Reitlinger, as well as English polymath William Whewell, perhaps the greatest admirer of Francis Bacon in recorded history, though he maintained numerous connections to Central Europe. Crispian Villeneuve offers genuinely new and valuable research into the early life and thought of one of the greatest cultural innovators of our time.

Understanding Nature
Science is not the only route to understanding nature. This volume presents a series of case studies in comparative epistemology, critically comparing the works of prominent representatives of the life sciences, such as Aristotle, Darwin, and Mendel, with the writings of literary masters, such as Andersen, Melville, Verne, and Ibsen. It constitutes a major contribution to the growing field of science and literature studies.
Der Charakterbegriff in der Musik
Eine grundlegende Darstellung eines Schluesselbegriffes der deutschen Musik�sthetik. Die mehrschichtige Kategorie des musikalischen Charakters, der eine geradezu verwirrende Vielfalt von Bedeutungen und Nebenbedeutungen anhaftet, wird begriffs- und ideengeschichtlich pr�zise erl�utert und auf ihre Brauchbarkeit fuer die musikalische Analyse ueberprueft. Es stellt sich dabei heraus, da� man fuer den Zeitraum von 1740 bis 1850 drei Traditionslinien unterscheiden kann, die sich relativ unabh�ngig voneinander entwickelt haben. Im Mittelpunkt des analytischen Interesses stehen Kompositionen wie Haydns Symphonie Il Distratto, Spohrs Symphonie Die Weihe der T�ne, die Kopfs�tze aus Mozarts Jupiter-Symphonie und Haydns Quartett Op. 20 Nr. 3 sowie die fis-moll-Sonate von Schumann. Inhalt: Die Entwicklung des musikalischen Charakterbegriffes - Haydns Darstellung moralischer Charaktere - Die charakteristische Symphonie - K�rners Theorie der Charakterdarstellung und die klassische Musik�sthetik - Die �sthetik des Charakteristischen - Das instrumentale Rezitativ .
