Eranos
Every year since 1933 many of the world's leading intellectuals have met on Lake Maggiore to discuss the latest developments in philosophy, history, art and science and, in particular, to explore the mystical and symbolic in religion. The Eranos Meetings - named after the Greek word for a banquet where the guests bring the food - constitute one of the most important gatherings of scholars in the twentieth century. The book presents a set of portraits of some of the century's most influential thinkers, all participants at Eranos: Carl Jung, Erich Neumann, Mircea Eliade, Martin Buber, Walter Otto, Paul Tillich, Gershom Scholem, Herbert Read, Joseph Campbell, Erwin Schrodinger, Karl Kereyni, D.T. Suzuki, and Adolph Portmann. The volume presents a critical appraisal of the views of these men, how the exchange of ideas encouraged by Eranos influenced each, and examines the attraction of these esotericists towards authoritarian politics.

Philosophy and Anthropology
Philosophy and anthropology have many, but largely unexplored, links and interrelationships. Historically, they have informed each other in subtle ways. This volume of original essays explores and enhances this relationship through anthropological engagement with philosophy and vice versa, the nature, sources and history of philosophical anthropology, phenomenology, and the practical, methodological and theoretical implications of a dialogue between the two subjects. ‘Philosophy and Anthropology: Border Crossings and Transformations’ seeks to enrich both the humanities and the social sciences through its informative and stimulating essays.
The Gift of Science
Moving from the scientific revolution to the nineteenth-century rise of legal codes, Berkowitz tells the story of how lawyers and philosophers invented legal science to preserve law's claim to moral authority. The "gift" of science, however, proved bittersweet. Instead of strengthening the bond between law and justice, the subordination of law to science transformed law from an ethical order into a tool for social and economic ends.
Schriften zur Politik und Kulturphilosophie (1918–1923)
Politisch wie geistig spielte Ernst Troeltsch für die Gründungsgeschichte der Weimarer Republik eine bedeutsame Rolle. Der Band versammelt 35 Texte, die Troeltschs publizistisches Engagement in den Fragen staatlicher, kirchlicher und kultureller Neuordnung ebenso dokumentieren wie seine Rolle als Politiker der Deutschen Demokratischen Partei mit parlamentarischem Mandat und Amt. Im Rahmen der Kritischen Gesamtausgabe erfaßt der Band erstmals in dieser Breite und Vollständigkeit der Textfassungen Troeltschs Verknüpfung von Politik und Philosophie, um den politischen Systemwandel in Deutschland aus den Konstellationen der gesamteuropäischen Kulturgeschichte heraus zu begründen. Troeltschs intellektuelles Orientierungsangebot wird hier in den extremen Kontroversen um die Legitimität einer demokratischen Herrschaftsordnung in der deutschen Gesellschaft neu lesbar.
History Retold
This collected volume focuses on the history of Western translation of premodern Chinese texts from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Divided into three parts, nine chapters feature close readings of translated texts, micro-studies of how three translations came into being, and broad-based surveys that inquire into the causes of historical change. Among the specific questions addressed are: What stylistic, generic, and discursive permutations were undergone by Chinese texts as they crossed linguistic borders? Who were the main agents in this centuries-long effort to transmit Chinese culture to the West? How did readership considerations affect the form that particular translations take? More generally, the contributors are concerned with the relevance of current research paradigms, like those of World Literature, transcultural reception, and the rewriting of translation history.
