Conflict and Reconciliation
This book offers historical, philosophical and theological studies on the meaning of conflicts in life and thinking of Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464) and deals with his attempts to develop a model for peace and tolerance.
Nazi Ideology and Ethics
This volume documents the still-rare encounter of moral-philosophical, historiographic and medical-ethical research on National Socialism, and looks at the ethical aspects of the National Socialist ideology, as well as at the moral convictions of National Socialist perpetrators, some of whom acted as “perpetrators with a good conscience”. It furthermore discusses questions such as the content and rationale of Nazi race ethics, the “euthanasia” killings and the Nazi ethics of racial warfare and the role of the SS as the vanguard of the National Socialist race state, the moral conditioning of Nazi perpetrators and their self-exoneration strategies after the defeat of Nazism, and German...
Hitler's Priests
Shaken by military defeat and economic depression after War World I, Germans sought to restore their nation's dignity and power. In this context the National Socialist Party, with its promise of a revivified Germany, drew supporters. Among the most zealous were a number of Catholic clergymen known as "brown priests" who volunteered as Nazi propagandists. In this insightful study, Spicer unearths a dark subchapter in Roman Catholic history, introduces the principal clergymen who participated in the Nazi movement, examines their motives, details their advocacy of National Socialism, and explores the consequences of their political activism. Some brown priests, particularly war veterans, advoca...
Making Prussians, Raising Germans
An investigation into why the creation of nation-states coincided with bouts of civil war in the nineteenth-century Western world.
Fifteenth-Century Studies
Founded in 1977 as the publication organ for the Fifteenth-Century Symposium, Fifteenth-Century Studies has appeared annually since then. It publishes essays on all aspects of life in the fifteenth century, including literature, drama, history, philosophy, art, music, religion, science, and ritual and custom. The editors strive to do justice to the most contested medieval century, a period that is the stepchild of research. The period defies consensus on fundamental issues: some dispute, in fact, whether the fifteenth century belonged at all to the middle ages, arguing that it was a period of transition, a passage to modern times. At issue, therefore, is the very tenor of an age that stood u...
Nazi Persecution and Postwar Repercussions
Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum The International Tracing Service, one of the largest Holocaust-related archival repositories in the world, holds millions of documents that enrich our understanding of the many forms of persecution during the Nazi era and its continued repercussions ever since. Drawing on a selection of recently available documents from the archive, this essential resource provides new insights into human decision-making in genocidal settings, the factors that drive it, and its far-reaching consequences. The sources that the author has collected and contextualized here reflect the full range of behaviors and roles that victims, their oppressors, beneficiaries, and postwar aid organizations played beginning in 1933, through World War II, the Holocaust, and up to the present.
Religions- und Ethikunterricht zwischen Konkurrenz und Kooperation
Religionsunterricht und Ethikunterricht werden vielerorts nebeneinander angeboten. In den Augen der Schüler, nicht selten auch der Lehrkräfte konkurrieren beide Fächer, bisweilen kooperieren sie in Unterrichtssequenzen und Projekten. Vielen Schulen ist dies zu aufwändig und so werden beide nicht selten zu einem daseins- und wertorientierenden Unterricht im Klassenverband "fusioniert". Der Band kartografiert die schulische Realität und diskutiert, wie das Verhältnis der Fächer Religions- und Ethikunterricht zu gestalten ist. Konkrete Möglichkeiten der Zusammenarbeit in Unterricht und Schulleben werden vorgestellt – ein Plädoyer für die differenzsensible Kooperation von Religions- und Ethikunterricht um der Stärkung der daseins- und wertorientierenden Fächer in der Schule willen.
Porzellan der Kirche
»Organisation und Finanzierung«, »Kirchliches Arbeitsrecht«, »Diakonische Bildung« sowie »Diakonische Haltung« – das sind die vier Analysekategorien, in denen Maike Mittelsteiner nach diakonischen Identitäten in der Geschichte des Oldenburgischen Landesvereins für Innere Mission fragt. Der Untersuchungsschwerpunkt liegt auf den knapp drei Jahrzehnten der Weimarer Republik sowie der NS-Diktatur. Doch werden auch die Anfänge der Inneren Mission im Oldenburger Land seit dem Jahr 1882 berücksichtigt. Im Blick der detailreichen Untersuchungen sind sowohl der Landesverein insgesamt als auch die einzelnen Einrichtungen in dessen Trägerschaft – u. a. ein Fürsorgeerziehungsheim. Der...
