In-visibility
The content of the book reconsiders the relation between visibility and transcendence. The focus is especially on the contribution to this issue from the theological tradition in protestant Europe between the 16th and the 21st Centuries. In the book a thematically broad field is covered embracing more than five centuries and a plurality of methods drawn from theology, philosophy, and the history and theory of art.The book is divided into five sub-themes: In the first and more fundamental part, 'The phenomenology of in-visibility', questions underlying the other four themes are sought defined or narrowed down. Here the modes of appearing/revealing or hiding of phenomena are reflected. In the ...

In Search of Corporate Accountability
There is currently much debate over corporate social responsibility on whether business companies should look beyond shareholder primacy and profit maximisation to act for the benefit of others. It is generally agreed, however, even amongst advocates of shareholder primacy, that profit maximisation should only be achieved within the framework of external laws regulating the conduct of individuals and companies generally. If the objectives of such external laws are not to be defeated, then it is important for controllers of companies to ensure corporate compliance with the law. Despite this, controversies have arisen where corporate enterprises may have improperly flouted or evaded liabilitie...
Work, Youth, and Schooling
At the beginning of the twentieth century, American reformers saw vocational education as a promising way to cure many of the nation's economic and social ills. But the ensuing educational reforms had disappointingly little effect on the problems they were supposed to solve. Today we are still distressed by the extent of unemployment among young people, especially blacks and other minorities, and our doubts about the effectiveness of schools in preparing young people for work have never been greater. Did vocational education go wrong? Or were the problems so deep-rooted that the schools could not solve them? These are the questions these nine essays address. They consider such topics as the changing economic and political context of vocational education, the role of federal legislation, the various ideas of early vocationalists, the growth of the idea of school as the primary route to employment, the theoretical relationship between schooling and work, the special problems of vocational education for blacks and women, and the directions that future research must take.

Moral Panic
Today, it is commonly acknowledged that sexual abuse of children is a grave and pervasive problem. Yet 20 years ago many experts believed that child molestation was a rare offense. This book traces shifting social responses to child molestation.
Die Grünen und die Pädosexualität
Im Wahljahr 2013 entflammte in Deutschland eine heftige Debatte über Pädophilie und Pädosexualität. Im Zentrum der intensiven wie plakativen Auseinandersetzung mit diesem heiklen Thema stand die Partei Die Grünen, in der in den 1980er Jahren die Forderung nach einer Legalisierung von pädosexuellen Kontakten nicht nur debattiert, sondern auch verschiedentlich beschlossen wurde. Der Band analysiert die Diskussion zum sexuellen Verhältnis mit Kindern und deren Niederschlag in der grünen Debatte und Programmatik. Er befreit ein Tabu- und Skandalthema aus dem Gehege einer Pro-und Contra-Debatte. Es wird dargestellt als Teil einer sozialen Lebenswirklichkeit, zu der kulturelle Emanzipationsbewegungen, ein neues Verständnis der kindlichen Sexualität und Einsprüche gegen traditionelle Familienmuster ebenso gehören wie Einblick in sexuelle Gewalt und Machmissbrauch. Eine facettenreiche Lebenswirklichkeit in der Gründungsära der Grünen wird offengelegt, ein virulentes Problem wird sichtbar als Symptom der gesellschaftlichen Verfassung.
