Nach Kant muss der Mensch als frei aus praktischer Vernunft gelten. Gleichzeitig reformuliert er die ErbsÃ"ndenlehre der christlichen Tradition, wenn er den Menschen als radikal böse bezeichnet. Heit zeigt, dass Kant die Spannung zwischen Freiheit und SÃ"nde nur durch religiösen Vollzug fÃ"r Ã"berwindbar hält. Der Rechtfertigungsgedanke spielt dabei eine entscheidende Rolle, und durch die Rekonstruktion von Kants Philosophie werden die Differenzen der reformatorischen und der katholischen Vorstellung von Rechtfertigung erklärbar. Der Autor gibt Aufschluss darÃ"ber, in welchem Verhältnis laut Kant Vernunft und Glaube bei der Vollendung des Individuums stehen und welche Funktion die Kirche fÃ"r den Gedanken von der Vollendung der Menschheit als Gattung einnimmt.

In dieser Studie stellt Alexander Drews den Gebrauch, die Semantik und die moralische Signifikanz des Wortfeldes Ergon im Johannesevangelium heraus. Dabei diskutiert er alle relevanten Belegstellen und vergleicht ihre Bedeutung mit dem berühmten Ergon -Argument von Aristoteles und einem antiken Textkorpus. Das Herzstück der Arbeit ist ein ausführlicher exegetischer Teil, in dem das Wortfeld auf seine ethische Wirkung hin ausgewertet wird. Als zentral wird hier der Abschnitt in Joh 3,18-21 gesehen, der eine Perspektive vom 'Raum des Lichts', vom 'Raum der Dunkelheit' und einem 'ambivalenten Handlungsraum' eröffnet und damit dem Leser Handlungsimpulse bietet. Methodisch beschreitet der Autor Neuland, indem er in Bezug auf die Semantik die Korpuslinguistik erprobt und in Bezug auf die Ethik die Methodologie zur 'impliziten Ethik' von Ruben Zimmermann anwendet.

Architectural models are used at various stages of a project. As working models they support the design process: they are made up from time to time using simple materials, such as cardboard, without any attempt at accuracy, and continue to be adjusted and added to as the ideas and the design progress. The point here is to swiftly check a design idea, to allow it to be continued or dismissed. Presentational models are more involved; at this stage the design has been completed and the purpose of the model is to convey the ideas to the potential user in a clear and easy-to-understand way. The book Architecture and Model Building includes outstanding examples explaining the possibilities of this medium and, at the same time, provides comprehensive information on materials and techniques.

Women and Art surveys the history of women in art and addresses the effects of feminist art history and art production. This book is among the first to offer a critical assessment of the role of feminism in art history and how it has presented and misrepresented women's roles in art. Seeking to counterbalance overwhelmingly pro-feminist narratives, it relies on evidence from artists, statisticians, and historians to support individual women artists while remaining critical of feminism. Cogent and persuasive, Women and Art stands as a key for students and researchers interested in art history, gender studies, feminism, and cultural studies.

Children of the New World introduces readers to a near future world of social media implants, memory manufacturers, dangerously immersive virtual reality games, and alarmingly intuitive robots. Many of these characters live in a utopian future of instant connection and technological gratification that belies an unbridgeable human distance, while others inhabit a post collapse landscape made primitive by disaster, which they must work to rebuild as we once did millennia ago. In "The Cartographers," the main character works for a company that creates and sells virtual memories, while struggling to maintain a real-world relationship sabotaged by an addiction to his own creations. ln "Saying Goodbye to Yang," the robotic brother of an adopted Chinese child malfunctions, and only in his absence does the family realise how real a son he has become. Children of the New World grapples with our unease in this modern world and how our ever growing dependence on new technologies has changed the shape of our society. Alexander Weinstein is a visionary new voice in speculative fiction for all of us who are fascinated by and terrified of what we might find on the horizon.
