In this classic work, originally published in 1932, Hook set out to demonstrate to the radical and conservative philosophers and activists of the 1920s and 1930s that Marx was a systematic thinker who developed a sound set of philosophical principles. His major argument is that Marx was undogmatic in his approach to philosophy and a critical thinker who assimilated and synthesized a variety of ideas. Hook explains how Marx engaged both Hegel and the young Hegelians in order to develop the notion of the dialectic with Marx's take on historical materialism. The individual chapters engage the reader through the debates and discussions between Marx and young Hegelians such as Moses Hess, who influenced Marx in the study of social and economic problems; Feuerbach, who influenced Marx's view of religion; Bruno Bauer (antiliberalism); Arnold Ruge (philosophy as politics); and Max Stirner (ideals as illusions).

This volume of essays is dedicated to George Soros in honor of his seventieth birthday. The authors come from the different but intersecting worlds of academia, politics and business. The editors have chosen the title The Paradoxes of Unintended Consequences to encourage the contributors to adopt a dialogue-oriented approach and in reference to the example of Giordano Bruno, who was burnt at the stake 400 years ago for holding heretic views which were probably far more backward than the views of those condemning him. The idea behind this approach was that any complex social process or political attempt to change the lives of people will have unintended consequences, usually paradoxical ones. These consequences should force us to reconsider our original theory. The volume also contains a short biography of George Soros and a list of his published works and philanthropic initiatives.

Until he meets Shmuel, a boy who lives a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence and who, like the other people there, wears a uniform of striped pyjamas.Bruno's friendship with Shmuel will take him from innocence to revelation.

March 1932. After the recently incarcerated Al Capone offers to negotiate the return of the kidnapped son of Charles Lindbergh, Nathan Heller of the Chicago P.D. is sent to Hopewell, New Jersey, as a police liaison. As a part of Lindbergh’s inner circle, Heller investigates crooks, cranks, socialites, and psychics in a frustrating, fruitless attempt to solve the case. Max Allan Collins makes the crime that captivated a nation the focal point of yet another fascinating and thoroughly spellbinding foray into his world of histori¬cal crime fiction. Four years later, in 1936, Heller—now a private detective, and considered an expert and insider on the Lindbergh case—is hired by the governor of New Jersey in an eleventh-hour quest to determine the guilt or innocence of Bruno Hauptmann, who sits on death row convicted of the murder and kidnapping of the Lindbergh child.

En un mundo que percibe a Dios más como ausencia que como presencia, la actualidad de Dionisio consiste en hacernos patente que la luz está en la oscuridad. Nos muestra un camino, una forma de penetrar en el interior de la tiniebla luminosa en que acaba toda búsqueda.El mundo mediterráneo de los cinco primeros siglos fue un crisol de pensamiento vivo: la filosofía griega que culminaba en el neoplatonismo se encontraba con el cristianismo, el gnosticismo, el pensamiento hindú y el budista. Todo ello configuró el mundo de Dionisio Areopagita quien nos ha legado una obra imprescindible para entender las líneas maestras de la mística de Occidente.A pesar de que su persona permanece en la penumbra, el pensamiento de Dionisio Areopagita ha llegado hasta nuestros días. Filósofo, teólogo, místico, la huella del Areopagita es manifiesta en maestros como Eckhart, Nicolás de Cusa, San Juan de la Cruz o Giordano Bruno.

Un desfalco en una firma financiera y la aparición de un cuerpo en una cuneta de una carretera de Cancún sirven al autor de la aclamada Celda 211 para construir otra trama apasionante que sumerge al lector en el lado oscuro del poder económico y policial, dos sectores de la sociedad de plena actualidad. Si Malamadre y Juan Oliver acabaron convirtiéndose en personajes para la historia literaria y cinematográfica española, ahora Bruno Silva, socio del bróker; Wie López, español chino de segunda generación, y Lidia Salmerón, alto cargo del Gobierno, toman el relevo del presidiario y del funcionario novato para conducirnos, como lazarillos, por la vorágine de acontecimientos imprevisibles que desembocarán en un nudo y en un final dignos de las mejores páginas de suspense de todos los tiempos.Con un lenguaje directo, sin concesiones a florituras superfluas ni a descripciones prolijas encaminadas a rellenar páginas, Francisco Pérez Gandul nos hace reflexionar sin aburrirnos, nos emociona sin

Entre 1932 y 1936, Carlo Emilio Gadda se embarcó en el proyecto de escribir una novela ambientada en Milán que se llamaría Un fulmine sul 220, donde se proponía narrar el amor prohibido entre Elsa, esposa del adinerado Gian Maria Cavigioli, y Bruno, un asistente de carnicero. Finalmente, insatisfecho con el proyecto, decidió abandonarlo. Unos años después dicha novela fallida se convertiría en su magistral libro de relatos La Adalgisa, un retrato satírico y burlesco ?y, a la vez, un fresco abigarrado y enciclopédico? de la sociedad milanesa de la época: banqueros fraudulentos, empresarios ingenuos en apuros, ingenieros que construyen puentes que se desmoronan, viejas brujas goyescas que encarnan la decadente aristocracia local, burgueses obsesionados por tener descendencia masculina? y mujeres que se lanzan en brazos de simpáticos proxenetas que, por su parte, prefieren a las criadas recién llegadas del campo. Un caótico maelstrom humano pasado por el filtro de la irrisión. Pero como s

A masterpiece of literary craft and concision; sparse, beautiful and hugely affecting - Daily MailSince the liberation of the Netherlands, Emma Verweij has been living in Rotterdam, in a street which became a stronghold of friendships for its inhabitants during the Second World War. She marries Bruno, they have two sons, and she determines to block out the years she spent in Nazi Berlin during the war, with her first husband Carl. But now, ninety-six years old and on the eve of her death, long- forgotten memories crowd again into her consciousness, flashbacks of happier years, and the tragedy of the war, of Carl, of her father, and of the friends she has lost. In The Longest Night, his impressive, reflective new novel after News from Berlin, Otto de Kat deftly distils momentous events of 20th-century history into the lives of his characters. In Emma, the past and the present coincide in limpid fragments of rare, melancholy beauty.Translated from the Dutch by Laura Watkinson

In Facing the Planetary William E. Connolly expands his influential work on the politics of pluralization, capitalism, fragility, and secularism to address the complexities of climate change and to complicate notions of the Anthropocene. Focusing on planetary processes—including the ocean conveyor, glacier flows, tectonic plates, and species evolution—he combines a critical understanding of capitalism with an appreciation of how such nonhuman systems periodically change on their own. Drawing upon scientists and intellectuals such as Lynn Margulis, Michael Benton, Alfred North Whitehead, Anna Tsing, Mahatma Gandhi, Wangari Maathai, Pope Francis, Bruno Latour, and Naomi Klein, Connolly focuses on the gap between those regions creating the most climate change and those suffering most from it. He addresses the creative potential of a "politics of swarming" by which people in different regions and social positions coalesce to reshape dominant priorities. He also explores how those displaying spiritual affinities across differences in creed can energize a militant assemblage that is already underway.

Galicia was created at the first partition of Poland in 1772 and disappeared in 1918. Yet, in slightly over a century, the idea of Galicia came to have meaning for both the peoples who lived there and the Habsburg government that ruled it. Indeed, its memory continues to exercise a powerful fascination for those who live in its former territories and for the descendants of those who emigrated out of Galicia. The idea of Galicia was largely produced by the cultures of two cities, Lviv and Cracow. Making use of travelers' accounts, newspaper reports, and literary works, Wolff engages such figures as Emperor Joseph II, Metternich, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Ivan Franko, Stanisław Wyspiański, Tadeusz "Boy" Żeleński, Isaac Babel, Martin Buber, and Bruno Schulz. He shows the exceptional importance of provincial space as a site for the evolution of cultural meanings and identities, and analyzes the province as the framework for non-national and multi-national understandings of empire in European history.

The Greek arte povera artist Nakis Panayotidis was born in 1947 in Athens and was educated in architecture in Turin and in visual arts in Rome. Since 1974 he has been living and working both in Bern and Greek island of Serifos. In the tradition of arte povera, Panayotidis employs a great diversity of materials in his art, such as stone, straw, lead, iron, copper and lamps etc. His art combines light and life and is never static. It always revolves around opposites that have found a moment of equilibrium. In his work, Panayotidis aims to emphasise the intrinsically permanent in momentary incidental images. This new book is published to coincide with a major retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Fine Art Bern. It features work by the artist in painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and photography. Essays are contributed by curators Matthias Frehner and Regula Berger, Italian scholar, curator and art critic Bruno Cora, and also by personal friends of Panayotidis and collectors of his work.

The year is 1959, one of the darkest periods of Romania’s communist regime. Political prisoner Bruno Matei, a puppeteer of Italian ancestry, has been released from jail a broken man, suffering from amnesia. An uneasy relationship forms between `Matei Brunul’ and Bojin, the secret policeman who keeps him under constant surveillance. Gradually, the secret police will try to remould Matei’s mind by rewriting his past, turning the puppeteer into a puppet of the new totalitarian order. In parallel, a harrowing second narrative reveals Matei’s prison experiences: the story of an innocent man physically and mentally crushed by the totalitarian system, which explodes the manipulative fictions of the secret police one by one. Matei Brunul was the first Romanian novel to explore the carceral world of the former regime, but it is also a subtle meditation on Heinrich von Kleist’s On the Marionette Theatre and the ways in which a totalitarian state and ultimately fiction itself create and manipulate puppets.

Bad New Days examines the evolution of art and criticism in Western Europe and North America over the last twenty-five years, exploring their dynamic relation to the general condition of emergency instilled by neoliberalism and the war on terror.Considering the work of artists such as Thomas Hirschhorn, Tacita Dean, and Isa Genzken, and the writing of thinkers like Jacques Rancière, Bruno Latour, and Giorgio Agamben, Hal Foster shows the ways in which art has anticipated this condition, at times resisting the collapse of the social contract or gesturing toward its repair; at other times burlesquing it.Against the claim that art making has become so heterogeneous as to defy historical analysis, Foster argues that the critic must still articulate a clear account of the contemporary in all its complexity. To that end, he offers several paradigms for the art of recent years, which he terms "abject," "archival," "mimetic," and "precarious."

Amb 91 anys, la Gretel Fernsby du una vida tranquilla i confortable al seu magnífic pis londinenc, malgrat amagar un passat fosc i pertorbador. No parla mai de com va fugir de l'Alemanya nazi quan tenia 12 anys. Ni els anys de postguerra a França amb la seva mare. I sobretot, no parla del seu pare, el comandant d'un dels camps d'extermini més tristament cèlebres del Reich.Quan una parella es trasllada al pis de sota, fa amistat amb el fill de nou anys, en Henry, tot i que li porta records incòmodes del seu germà Bruno.

En La civilización de la memoria de pez, Bruno Patino denunciaba los peligros de una humanidad que ya entonces estaba confinada entre los cristales de su pecera digital: perfectamente libres para nadar en sus aguas y abiertos a todo, pero atrapados dentro de unos límites que no por ser transparentes resultaban menos rígidos, incapaces de concentrarnos ni de crecer, agotados por el paso del tiempo y las interminables exigencias de las notificaciones que acosan nuestros dispositivos.La experiencia sin precedentes de la pandemia puso en evidencia esta misma situación: somos una sociedad desatenta y olvidadiza, que se salvó del asilamiento gracias a su capacidad técnica para hablar, trabajar, verse, mantenerse en contacto y divertirse a distancia, pero al mismo tiempo descubrió, de forma acelerada, los barrotes de su prisión digital, libre para saberlo todo, pero carente de deseo; parloteando constantemente, pero ansiosa de contactos reales...Ahora, cuando por fin hemos podido aban

Eloquent, urgent, and inspiring, "The Constant Fire" tackles the acrimonious debate between science and religion, taking us beyond its stagnant parameters into the wider domain of human spiritual experience. From a Neolithic archaeological site in Ireland to modern theories of star formation, Adam Frank traverses a wide terrain, broadening our sights and allowing us to imagine an alternative perspective. Drawing from his experience as a practicing astrophysicist and from the writings of the great scholars of religion, philosophy, and mythology, Frank locates the connective tissue linking science and religion - their commonality as sacred pursuits - and finds their shared aspiration in pursuit of 'the True and the Real'. Taking us from the burning of Giordano Bruno in 1600 to Einstein and on to today's pressing issues of global warming and resource depletion, "The Constant Fire" shows us how to move beyond this stale debate into a more profound experience of the world as sacred - a world that embraces science without renouncing human spirituality.

Van de kartuizers zegt men dat zij een speciale en heilige relatie met boek en bibliotheek hebben. Volgens de master narrative onderscheiden de monniken van Bruno zich in de omvang van hun collecties, de zorg voor het boek en de spirituele representatie van beide. Dat iconische verhaal evoceert enkel de handschriftentijd. De ontdekking van de zeldzaam gedetailleerde en meticuleuze bibliotheekcatalogus (1742) van de Roermondse kartuis Bethlehem, maakt het mogelijk de mythe van kartuizer en boek te toetsen. Deze studie, in november 2012 in Nijmegen als proefschrift verdedigd, onderzoekt hoe met de handschriften werd omgesprongen, hoe de ontwikkeling van de bibliotheek ná de vijftiende eeuw verliep, en hoe die ontwikkeling beïnvloed werd door de boekenmarkt. De analyse van het achttiende-eeuwse bibliotheekbeheer toont vervolgens hoe de kartuizers met hun boeken omgingen in een periode die tot nu toe zowel door de wetenschappelijke literatuur als door de bevlogen verhalen veronachtzaamd werd.

The Covid-19 crisis is a relevant example about the need for research in digital communications in order to understand current health info communication.After an overview of the challenges of digital healthcare, this book offers a critical look at the organizational and professional limits of ICT uses for patients, their caregivers and healthcare professionals.

Frida Leider, the greatest Wagnerian soprano of the pre-war period, has a permanent place in operatic history. In this, her own memoirs, Leider recreates the fascinating operatic world of her day, and recounts her association with Bruno Walter, Wilhelm Furtwangler, Lauritz Melchior, Lotte Lehmann, Maria Jeritza, Elisabeth Schumann, Erich Kleiber, as well as many other great musical figures of the twentieth century.

Her account of musical life in Nazi Germany adds yet another dimension to an autoEdition Biography which, by virtue of its charm and warmth, is already far removed from more conventional operatic memoirs.

''[A] gripping and fascinating book'' JAMES HOLLAND, DAILY TELEGRAPH, 5* review''A brilliant book . . . timely . . . gripping'' RACHEL COOKE, OBSERVER''A thrilling read '' PHILIPPE SANDS, author of EAST WEST STREET***On 17 October 2019, in Hamburg''s imposing criminal justice building, a trial laden with extraordinary historical weight begins to unfold. Bruno Dey stands accused of being involved in a crime committed over seven decades ago: the murder of at least 5,230 inmates at Stutthof, the Nazi concentration camp in present-day Poland. Only seventeen at the time, Dey was a member of the SS unit responsible for administering the camp. Though he concedes to his role as a guard, he adamantly denies responsibility for the killings. Dey''s trial comes at a poignant moment. As the last members of the war generation - both victims and perpetrators - disappear, so does their first-hand knowledge of the Holocaust''s horrors. Bey

Ivre de Dieu, Giordano Bruno nous offre une presentation violemment heterodoxe des dogmes chretiens, moins pour les destituer de leur autorite que pour les faire fonctionner autrement. Devenus les concepts operatoires d'un immanentisme radical, ceux-ci trouvent dans un naturalisme sans frein une acception nouvelle, hors toute transcendance. Cette reprise inversee de la dogmatique traditionnelle fera du plus inspire des philosophes modernes l'heresiarque le plus accuse, le detracteur aussi le plus determine de l'appareil rationnel que la theologie de son temps emprunte encore a Aristote. L'etrange retournement auquel il procede l'ouvre aux intuitions qui courent l'air du temps: univers infini, pluralite des mondes, matiere vivante, convertibilite de la nature et de l'esprit...pour faire de lui le createur visionnaire de la plus flamboyante des gnoses. La science nouvelle appelle une revelation nouvelle, Dieu partout visible dans la Nature, et un nouveau salut, Dieu partout vivant dans la Nature, seule mediatrice. Bref un mysticisme sauvage au service duquel se deploie le plus organise des discours.

Hace cerca de seiscientos años, en 1417, un humanista italiano emprendió un viaje para visitar conventos alemanes en busca de manuscritos antiguos. En uno de ellos descubrió el único ejemplar que había sobrevivido de una obra escrita en el siglo primero antes de Cristo, De rerum natura, un poema filosófico de Tito Lucrecio Caro que desarrollaba una visión materialista del mundo, destinada a liberar al hombre del temor a los dioses. Lo copió y regresó con él a Italia, donde la difusión de sus peligrosas ideas fue una de las fuentes del giro cultural del Renacimiento, que iba a dar lugar al cambio ideológico del que surgió el mundo moderno. Aquel libro ignorado, que pudo haberse perdido, ejerció una considerable influencia sobre una línea de pensadores que va de Giordano Bruno o Montaigne hasta Freud o Einstein. Stephen Greenblatt, que a su calidad de investigador une la de ser un gran escritor, nos ofrece un apasionante relato de esta aventura de las ideas.
