Das E-Book "Heimliche Leser in der DDR" behandelt ein Phänomen, das dem geistig regen Bewohner des einstigen "Leselandes" und seinem westlichen Besucher bestens vertraut war: Man versuchte irgendwie an Literatur heranzukommen, die in der DDR ausgegrenzt oder verboten war. Dabei ging es nicht nur um Biermann und Bahro, sondern auch um Bravo und Erotika, um Orwell und den Otto-Katalog. Der Leser erfährt, wie 42 000 Exemplare des Wachtturms in einen VW-Bus passen und wie man Bücher am besten im Eisenbahnklo verstecken konnte. Die Nervenanspannung bei der Zollkontrolle kommt dabei genauso zur Sprache wie die unwiderstehliche Anziehungskraft von Giftschränken in Bibliotheken und das Verlangen nach Westliteratur an den Leipziger Messeständen

The various efforts to develop a Marxist philosophy of science in the one time 'socialist' countries were casualties of the Cold War. Even those who were in no way Marxists, and those who were undogmatic in their Marxisms, now confront a new world. All the more harsh is it for those who worked within the framework imposed upon professional philosophy by the official ideology. Here in this book, we are concerned with some 31 colleagues from the late German Democratic Republic, representative in their scholarship of the achievements of a curiously creative while dismayingly repressive period. The literature published in the GDR was blossoming, certainly in the final decade, but it developed wi...
In Schwante, dem kleinen Ort in der Nähe von Oranienburg im Nordwesten von Berlin gelegen, wurde am 7. Oktober 1989 Geschichte geschrieben. 45 Männer und Frauen gründeten die SDP, die Sozialdemokratische Partei in der DDR. Wir erinnern mit diesem Buch an die Gründung der Sozialdemokratie vor 35 Jahren in Schwante. Wir lassen drei Gründer zu Wort kommen, die mit dem Blick von heute über die damaligen Ereignisse und die daraus folgenden politischen Entwicklungen diskutieren. Dieses Buch ist damit auch ein Beitrag zu einer offenen und vielfältigen Diskussion über die Situation und Entwicklung im Osten Deutschlands. Entstanden ist das Buch aus der Arbeit der Historischen Kommission der SPD Brandenburg.

This book is a selection of articles and chapters published over Martin Golding's academic career. Golding's approach to the philosophy of law is that it contains conceptual and normative issues and in this volume logical issues in legal reasoning are examined, and various theories of law are critically discussed. Normative questions are dealt with regarding the rule of law and criminal law defenses, and the concept of rights and the terminology of rights are analyzed. Much of Golding's work is critical-historical as well as constructive. This volume will prove an informative and useful collection for scholars and students of the philosophy of law.
The fall of the Berlin Wall, and the chain of events leading up to it, arguably constitute one of the most thoroughly documented episodes in recent history. Nonetheless, most accounts have focused predominantly on high-level politics and diplomacy along with the most dramatic and photogenic public displays. End Game, a rich, sweeping account of the autumn of 1989 as it was experienced “on the ground” in the German Democratic Republic, powerfully depicting the desolation and dysfunction that shaped everyday life for so many East Germans in the face of economic disruption and political impotence. Citizens’ frustration mounted until it bubbled over in the form of massive demonstrations and other forms of protest. Following the story up to the first free elections in March 1990, the volume combines abundant detail with sharp analysis and helps us to see this familiar historical moment through new eyes.
