„Remapping the Jungle...“? - „Enlightening“, „white“-washing „shadows“ of Kant et al.!?
Document from the year 2009 in the subject Law - Philosophy, History and Sociology of Law, University of Vienna (Institut für Rechtsphilosophie, Religions- und Kulturrecht), course: Anton Wilhelm AMO vs Immanuel KANT ? - Rassismus und Arroganz bei KANT et al, language: English, abstract: Who was Anton Wilhelm AMO ? Was KANT a "saint"? Is KANT "trustworthy"? Was DE LAS CASAS "trustworthy"? These questions arose when one of my former colleagues, Prof Dr Martin SPITZER voiced a critical question with respect to DE LAS CASAS in one of his highly interesting courses. It was not only SPITZER but also the wish to send my dead relative Em Prof Dr Kurt SCHUBERT who founded the departement for Jewish Studies at the University of Vienna a "message" about the importance of being critical about basically all too often quite "convergently" presented (pseudo-)facts e.g. with respect to KANT.
(Universal/University) „ethics“ with Kant, Hume, Hegel, Rousseau et al.?
Document from the year 2009 in the subject Gender Studies, University of Vienna (Ludwig Boltzmann Institut für Menschenrechte), course: "Ich kenne Kant ..."? - "Quality" Management and Business "Ethics" with KANT et al?, language: English, abstract: Why are we basically and regularly often only informed about the positive aspects of KANT? What about his opinion towards women? What about his scientific contemporary Prof Dr Anton Wilhelm AMO? What did KANT, HUME, et al, think of Afro-americans? What was KANT's, HEGEL's, or ROUSSEAU's opinion towards the Jewish minority? Why are students of law, e.g. in Vienna, be it at the University of Vienna, be it at the Vienna university of Economics and Business Adminstration, still often only "informed" about positive sides, not any shadows of KANT, often called the "master of critical (!) thinking"?
„Ich kenne Kant...“? - So called legal and business „ethics“ referring to Kant et al.
Document from the year 2009 in the subject Law - Philosophy, History and Sociology of Law, University of Vienna (Institut für Rechtsphilosophie, Religions- und Kulturrecht ), course: Against „white“-washing shadows of philosophers in ethics lectures/courses, language: English, abstract: Those interested in an interesting and (!) scientific text about Immanuel KANT, and texts rarely ever mentioned, and: if mentioned then mostly often in a quite positive way, are to be satisfied by this fact-bound and critical text. This text is also written upon the wish to introduce readers not specialised in so called KANTian "ethics" to a (partly very shocking), "down-to-earth" KANT insofar as KANT is...
Vom Faulen Holze Lebend ?! - Remapping the Jungle with Amo, Latino, Levinas Et Al ?
Document from the year 2009 in the subject Law - Philosophy, History and Sociology of Law, University of Vienna (Institut für Rechtsphilosophie, Religions- und Kulturrecht), course: What could universities "learn" from Prof Dr Anton Wilhelm Amo?, language: English, abstract: Who was Anton Wilhelm AMO? What can we learn from him today? What should universities - with respect to so called "knowledge management", so called "divergent thinking", and anti-discriminatory measures learn from Amo, Levinas, Latino (De Sesa) et al ? These questions are raised as are questions with respect to rarely ever mentioned texts of KANT, HUME, HEGEL, ROUSSEAU and others, focussing on *anti-semitic, racist, misogyn(ist), uncritical, pseudo-scientific nonsense*, which is hardly ever mentioned in so called "biographies" about some of these men often presented as ethical "role models".
Strategic Challenges for Austrian Universities with a Special Emphasis on Vienna 2010 Ad
Scientific Study from the year 2009 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, Vienna University of Economics and Business (Institut für Rechtsphilosophie, Religions- und Kulturrecht), course: Against "white"-washing shadows of philosophers in ethics lectures/courses, language: English, abstract: At universities, students are often presented (almost) "semi-divine" personalities, be it KANT, be it HEGEL, be it HUME, be it other important, influencial thinkers, especially in the field of - so called - "ethics", be it e.g. so called "management ethics", be it so called "legal ethics". Some of these students are simply one thing: fed up with the way of in fact almost "glor...
Who Was Anton Wilhelm Amo? - Remapping the Jungle Vs. Vom Faulen Holze Lebend ?!
Document from the year 2009 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, ...), University of Vienna (Institut für Rechtsphilosophie, Religions- und Kulturrecht), course: Wider das Vergessen! - Kritische Beiträge junger RechtswissenschafterInnen?, language: English, abstract: Karl LARENZ (jun) - a "famous prime father" of German legal science (, as e.g. judge Prof Dr Thomas HOEREN put it in the - basically - highy-quality newspaper "FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG"? Immanuel KANT - a "world master" of thinking (, as e.g. GRABNER-HAIDER/WEINKE put it)? - E.g. WIMMER, FIRLA, HENTGES et al cast doubt on the "mode" of presenting e.g. students (almost) "semi-divine" (?) legal thinkers, often not even mentioning any of their pseudo-scientific research. Should holocaust-implications not at least cause a "stir" (of critical re-thinking) the mode of presenting "viri "boni""?
Remembrance, History, and Justice
The twentieth century has left behind a painful and complicated legacy of massive trauma, monstrous crimes, radical social engineering, creating collective/individual guilt syndromes that were often specters haunting the process of democratization in the various societies that have emerged out of these profoundly de-structuring contexts, such as Germany, Romania, Russia and others.
Confronting Antisemitism from Perspectives of Philosophy and Social Sciences
The five volumes provide a compendium of the history of and discourse about antisemitism - both as a unique cultural and religious category. Antisemitic stereotypes function as religious symbols that express and transmit a belief system of Jew-hatred, which are stored in the cultural and religious memories of the Western and Muslim worlds. This volume explores the phenomenon from the perspectives of Philosophy and Social Sciences.

An informative abstract in English is provided for each entry, and Hebrew titles are provided with English translations.
A Companion to the Waldenses in the Middle Ages
The medieval dissenters known as ‘Waldenses’, named after their first founder, Valdes of Lyons, have long attracted careful scholarly study, especially from specialists writing in Italian, French and German. Waldenses were found across continental Europe, from Aragon to the Baltic and East-Central Europe. They were long-lived, resilient, and diverse. They lived in a special relationship with the prevailing Catholic culture, making use of the Church’s services but challenging its claims. Many Waldenses are known mostly, or only, because of the punitive measures taken by inquisitors and the Church hierarchy against them. This volume brings for the first time a wide-ranging, multi-authored interpretation of the medieval Waldenses to an English-language readership, across Europe and over the four centuries until the Reformation. Contributors: Marina Benedetti, Peter Biller, Luciana Borghi Cedrini, Euan Cameron, Jacques Chiffoleau, Albert de Lange, Andrea Giraudo, Franck Mercier, Grado Giovanni Merlo, Georg Modestin, Martine Ostorero, Damian J. Smith, Claire Taylor, and Kathrin Utz Tremp.
