Conflict and Reconciliation
This book deals with one of the main themes in the life and thinking of Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464), the experience of conflict and the need to realise reconciliation and tolerance. The essays in this volume are discussing not only the various conflicts in which this important philosopher, theologian, mathematician and politician of the 15th century was involved, but also try to interpret the main speculative themes in his philosophical and theological works in the perspective of his historical experiences. As such, the book also delivers a contribution to a better understanding of intellectual, religious and cultural life of the 15th Century as an era of transition between late Middle Ages and Early Modernity. Contributors include: Inigo Bocken, Tilman Borsche, Gerald Christianson, Jean-Michel Counet, Jos Decorte (†), Wilhelm Dupré, Stephan van Erp, Maarten J.F.M. Hoenen, William Hoye, Thomas Izbicki, Frans Maas, Markus Riedenauer, Nikolaus Staubach, and Anton G. Weiler.
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...
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...
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...

Adolf Kardinal Bertram (1859-1945) war Bischof von Hildesheim und Furstbischof zu Breslau sowie langjahriger Vorsitzender der Fuldaer Bischofskonferenz. Vor allem seine kirchenpolitische Rolle in der Weimarer Republik und insbesondere in der NS-Zeit wurde oft diskutiert und in der Forschung ambivalent beurteilt.

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.
Umbruch oder Übergang?
Ausgehend von der Situation der beiden Fürstbistümer am Ende des 18. Jh., einer umfänglichen Analyse der politischen und wirtschaftlich-sozialen Gegebenheiten sowie einem intensiven Blick auf die inneren Strukturen der beiden Bistümer wird insbesondere deren Aufhebung und die ihrer zahlreichen Klöster beleuchtet. Auch die Neuanfänge des 19. Jh. und die Situation der evangelischen Kirche finden entsprechende Berücksichtigung. Der Band erweitert das Wissen um das Geschehen in Norddeutschland an der Wende des 18. zum 19. Jh. erheblich und bietet - zum ersten Mal überhaupt - eine "Gesamtschau" der kirchlichen Entwicklung dieser Zeit für diesen Raum. Die Publikation vereint die Referate ...
