The Hybrid Reformation
Three basic forces dominated sixteenth-century religious life. Two polarized groups, Protestant and Catholic reformers, were shaped by theological debates, over the nature of the church, salvation, prayer, and other issues. These debates articulated critical, group-defining oppositions. Bystanders to the Catholic-Protestant competition were a third force. Their reactions to reformers were violent, opportunistic, hesitant, ambiguous, or serendipitous, much the way social historians have described common people in the Reformation for the last fifty years. But in an ecology of three forces, hesitations and compromises were natural, not just among ordinary people, but also, if more subtly, among reformers and theologians. In this volume, Christopher Ocker offers a constructive and nuanced alternative to the received understanding of the Reformation. Combining the methods of intellectual, cultural, and social history, his book demonstrates how the Reformation became a hybrid movement produced by a binary of Catholic and Protestant self-definitions, by bystanders to religious debate, and by the hesitations and compromises made by all three groups during the religious controversy.

Der rhetorische Auftritt
Die an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München zwischen 1826 und 1968 gehaltenen Rektorats- und Universitätsreden sind mit Blick nach innen ein erstklassiges Abbild des universitären Lebens – das letztlich gesehen aus einer fortlaufenden Abfolge verschiedener Reden besteht –, mit Blick nach außen des universitären Selbstverständnisses. Alle, die Zeit zwischen der Neuordnung Europas im ersten Viertel des 19. Jahrhunderts und den Umbrüchen von 1968 prägenden Phänomene finden darin einen Niederschlag als Antworten der Universität auf die Zeitläufe. Im Vorfeld der Freischaltung der Volldigitalisate des LMU-Reden-Korpus beschloss das Universitätsarchiv München, nicht bei der Onlinepräsentation stehen zu bleiben, sondern im Rahmen einer Studiotagung tiefer zu loten, also eine erste wissenschaftliche Erschließung des Quellenbestands zu bieten. Der vorliegende Sammelband enthält die Ausarbeitungen der während dieser Veranstaltung gehaltenen Vorträge sowie eine Bibliographie aller für die LMU nachweisbaren Rektorats- und Universitätsreden.
Volume 6, Tome III: Kierkegaard and His German Contemporaries - Literature and Aesthetics
This volume explores in detail Kierkegaard's various relations to his German contemporaries. Kierkegaard read German fluently and made extensive use of the writings of German-speaking authors. It can certainly be argued that, apart from his contemporary Danish sources, the German sources were probably the most important in the development of his thought generally. The volume has been divided into three tomes reflecting Kierkegaard's main areas of interest with regard to the German-speaking sources, namely, philosophy, theology and a more loosely conceived category, which has here been designated "literature and aesthetics." This third tome is dedicated to the German literary sources that were significant for Kierkegaard; in particular the work of authors from German Classicism and Romanticism. Important forerunners for many of Kierkegaard's literary motifs and characters can be found in the German literature of the day. His use of pseudonyms and his interest in irony were both profoundly influenced by German Romanticism. This volume demonstrates the extent to which Kierkegaard's views of criticism and aesthetics were decisively shaped by the work of German authors.
The Italian Renaissance
Four new titles in the series of comprehensive critical overviews of major literary movements in Western literary history The Renaissance was a turning point in the development of civilization. The great flowering of art, architecture, politics, and especially the study of literature began in Italy the late 14th century and spread throughout Europe and the Western world.
Thought Thinking
The Italian author Giovanni Gentile (1875-1944) occupied a radical position among philosophers of the first half of the twentieth century. He tried in earnest to revolutionize idealist theory, developing a doctrine that retained the idealist conception of the thinking subject as the centre and source of any intelligible reality, while eschewing many of the unwarranted abstractions that had pervaded earlier varieties of idealism and led their adherents astray. Given his great prominence during his lifetime, it is perhaps remarkable that Gentile is so little discussed, and even then so poorly understood, in the English-speaking world. Few of his works have ever been translated into English, an...
