From Germany to Palestine
The emergence of a modern system of social welfare and care in the Jewish community of Palestine in the decades before the founding of the State of Israel was largely carried out by immigrant German-Jewish social experts. So the book deals with a unique case of international transfer of professional knowledge.
Human Self-Creation
This book offers an overview of the educational thinking of Paul Natorp, a key neo-Kantian philosopher and leading educational theorist of Neo-Kantianism, by illustrating the philosophical foundations of his pedagogical argumentation, and the main features of his theory of education. It is intended for anyone interested in the philosophy of education, and seeking to understand the importance of education in human existence. Written in an accessible style, it does not require previous studies in the philosophy of education, but it offers in-depth pedagogical reflection for advanced level students, and researchers of educational theory. The descriptive approach of the book presents a well-founded interpretation of Natorp’s educational thinking. The depiction relies primarily on Natorp's own writings, and also draws on secondary literature appropriate to the topic. Very little material is available in English about Paul Natorp as an educationalist, and his educational theory. The book provides a significant added value for the scientific community of the philosophy of education and the history of educational ideas.
Critical Ancient World Studies
This volume explores and elucidates critical ancient world studies (CAWS), a new model for the study of the ancient world operating critically, setting itself against a long history of a discipline formulated to naturalise a hierarchical, white supremacist origin story for an imagined modern West. CAWS is a methodology for the study of antiquity that shifts away from the assumptions and approaches of the discipline known as classical studies and/or classics. Although it seeks to reckon with the discipline’s colonial history, it is not simply the application of decolonial theory or the search to uncover subaltern narratives in a subject that has special relevance to the privileged and power...
Princess Or Prisoner?
An in-depth look at the lives of religious Jewish women in Jerusalem at a transitional moment in its history.
No Heavenly Delusion?
No Heavenly Delusion? analyses three movements of communal living, the Kibbutz, the Bruderhof and the Integrierte Gemeinde, all of which can trace their origins to the German Youth Movement of the first part of the twentieth century. The book looks at the alternative societies and economies the movements have created, their interactions with the wider world, and their redrawing of the boundaries of the public and private spheres of their members. The comparative approach taken allows a picture of dissimilarities and similarities to emerge that goes beyond merely obvious points of difference. Tyldesley places these movements in the context of intellectual trends in late nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe and especially Germany, and enables the reader to evaluate their wider significance.
Liberalism
A compelling history of liberalism from the nineteenth century to today Despite playing a decisive role in shaping the past two hundred years of American and European politics, liberalism is no longer the dominant force it once was. In this expanded and updated edition of what has become a classic history of liberalism, Edmund Fawcett traces its ideals, successes, and failures through the lives and ideas of exemplary thinkers and politicians from the early nineteenth century to today. Significant revisions—including a new conclusion—reflect recent changes affecting the world political order that many see as presenting new and very potent threats to the survival of liberal democracy as we know it. A richly detailed account of a vulnerable but critically important political creed, this book reminds us that to defend liberalism it is vital to understand its character and history.

Religionspädagogische Arbeit im evangelischen Kindergarten
Kinder wenden sich der Welt, die sie umgibt, mit Neugier und Interesse zu. In ihrem Bestreben, sich ein Bild von der Welt zu machen und in ihr zu agieren, stellen sie haufig existenzielle und religiose Fragen. Sie haben ein Recht darauf, sich mit diesen Fragen auseinander zu setzen und sind dabei auf gesprachsbereite Menschen in ihrem Umfeld angewiesen. Viele Kinder mussen bereits in ihren ersten Lebensjahren lernen, mit variablen und instabilen Familienbeziehungen, Bruchen und Krisen verschiedener Art umzugehen. Religion kann in diesem Prozess stabilisierend wirken. Die Auseinandersetzung mit religiosen Themen erhalt in konfessionell getragenen Kindergarten eine besondere Bedeutung. Die Qualitat religionspadagogischer Arbeit und ihre besondere Profilierung sollen wesentliche Kennzeichen evangelischer Kindertagesstatten sein. Eine verantwortliche, zeitgemasse religionspadagogische Praxis ist subjektorientiert und partizipativ zu gestalten. Die Fragen und Interessen des Kindes sind dabei als Ausgangspunkte fur religiose Bildung und Erziehung wahrzunehmen. Wie sich diese Prinzipien praktisch umsetzen lassen, wird an ausgewahlten Beispielen deutlich.
Female, Jewish, and Educated
Female, Jewish, and Educated presents a collective biography of Jewish women who attended universities in Germany or Austria before the Nazi era. To what extent could middle-class Jewish women in the early decades of the 20th century combine family and careers? What impact did anti-Semitism and gender discrimination have in shaping their personal and professional choices? Harriet Freidenreich analyzes the lives of 460 Central European Jewish university women, focusing on their family backgrounds, university experiences, professional careers, and decisions about marriage and children. She evaluates the role of discrimination and anti-Semitism in shaping the careers of academics, physicians, and lawyers in the four decades preceding World War II and assesses the effects of Nazism, the Holocaust, and emigration on the lives of a younger cohort of women. The life stories of the women profiled reveal the courage, character, and resourcefulness with which they confronted challenges still faced by women today.
