This book offers the first comprehensive exploration of the relevance of naturalism and theories of nature in Classical German Philosophy. It presents new readings from internationally renowned scholars on Kant, Jacobi, Goethe, the Romantic tradition, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, and Marx that highlight the significance of conceptions of nature and naturalism in Classical German Philosophy for contemporary concerns.

Wie kann die Existenz einer »internationalen Gemeinschaft« und eines »geokulturellen Raumes« konzeptualisiert und analysiert werden? Das Buch geht dieser klassischen Fragestellung der Geographie am Beispiel der Frankophonie nach. Der Hegemonietheorie von Laclau und Mouffe folgend werden Räume - wie Identitäten - als historisch und kontingent und in diesem Sinne politisch konzipiert. Der Kulturgeograph Georg Glasze untersucht sowohl sprachliche als auch nicht-sprachliche Artikulationen und leistet mit der Verknüpfung von korpuslinguistisch-lexikometrischen und kodierenden Verfahren einen innovativen Beitrag zur Diskursforschung.

Aimed at theologians, philosophers of religion, scholars and students, Peter Hodgson provides a study of Hegel and of 19th century religious thought
Peter C. Hodgson engages the speculative reconstruction of Christian theology that is accomplished by Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion, and provides a close reading of the critical edition of the lectures. He analyses Hegel's concept of the object and purpose of the philosophy of religion, his critique of the theology of his time, his approach to Christianity within the framework of the concept of religion, his concept of God, his reconstruction of central Christian themes, and his placing of Christianity among the religions of the world. Hodgson makes a case for the contemporary theological significance of Hegel by identifying currently contested sites of interpretation and their Hegelian resolution.
Stefan Plenk untersucht in seiner politikwissenschaftlichen Studie über die regionale Integration und Kooperation im sub-saharischen Afrika fundiert drei der wichtigsten Regionalorganisationen Afrikas - die Ostafrikanische Gemeinschaft (EAC), die Südafrikanische Entwicklungsgemeinschaft (SADC) und die Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft westafrikanischer Staaten (ECOWAS). Er stellt fest, dass auch in Afrika nicht mehr nur die klassische Zusammenarbeit zwischen Regierungen von Bedeutung ist, sondern dass zudem transnationale und supranationale Dynamiken Kooperation und Integration beeinflussen bzw. teilweise auch diktieren. Neben der staatlichen und supranationalen Perspektive liegt ein Fokus auf transnationalen und nicht-staatlichen regionalen Dynamiken, so dass eine umfassende Betrachtung von Kooperation und Integration in Afrika möglich wird.
Julius Wellhausen was a monumental figure in the field of biblical studies, but his work has been denounced as antisemitic in recent years.
