One of the most important of Jung's longer works, and probably the most famous of his books, Psychological Types appeared in German in 1921 after a "fallow period" of eight years during which Jung had published little. He called it "the fruit of nearly twenty years' work in the domain of practical psychology," and in his autobiography he wrote: "This work sprang originally from my need to define the ways in which my outlook differed from Freud's and Adler's. In attempting to answer this question, I came across the problem of types; for it is one's psychological type which from the outset determines and limits a person's judgment. My book, therefore, was an effort to deal with the relationship of the individual to the world, to people and things. It discussed the various aspects of consciousness, the various attitudes the conscious mind might take toward the world, and thus constitutes a psychology of consciousness regarded from what might be called a clinical angle." In expounding his system of personality types Jung relied not so much on formal case data as on the countless impressions and experiences derived from the treatment of nervous illnesses, from intercourse with people of all social levels, "friend and foe alike," and from an analysis of his own psychological nature. The book is rich in material drawn from literature, aesthetics, religion, and philosophy. The extended chapters that give general descriptions of the types and definitions of Jung's principal psychological concepts are key documents in analytical psychology

Based on a survey of more than 6,700 top civil servants in 17 European countries, this book explores the impacts of New Public Management (NPM)-style reforms in Europe from a uniquely comparative perspective. It examines and analyses empirical findings regarding the dynamics, major trends and tools of administrative reforms, with special focus on the diversity of top executives' perceptions about the effects of those reforms. Resulting from research funded by the European Commission, this book is an ambitious, comprehensive portrait of public administration in the central European bureaucracies after more than three decades of NPM reforms and in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The chapters present extensive data on single countries but invaluably take a comparative approach, presenting a broad, explorational perspective.Public Administration Reforms in Europe is an indispensable resource for researchers, practitioners and students in a variety of social science areas, especially public administration, public policy and public management.Contributors include: J.

Since 1992 the EU has incorporated a concept previously exclusive to states: citizenship. In embracing supranational citizenship the EU entered terra incognita, creating a concept resembling, but essentially different to traditional citizenship. This book provides an in-depth historical, political and constitutional analysis of the first 25 years of EU citizenship, and considers how it could develop over the next 25 years.Bringing together scholars from the fields of law, political science and history, this book takes a multidisciplinary approach to EU citizenship. It examines the history and development of EU citizenship, the roles of institutional and political actors, and the dynamics which it created in the post-Maastricht accession process, providing readers with a unique multifaceted examination of the topic. Exploring new insights into the nature and importance of EU citizenship, this book shows that after a quarter of a century EU citizenship has lost none of it's game-changing potential, and remains one of the most important features of EU law.Students of European law and politics and international relations will find this concise book an invaluable tool, with interesting and original insights into the present status of a key aspect of EU law. Its multidisciplinary approach will also help professionals working in fields relating to the subject.Contributors include: A.G. Harryvan, G. Hoogers, J. Langer, S. Neuman Stanivukovic, T. Nowak, R. Procee, J. van der Harst, J.W. van Rossem, G. Voerman, N. Zeegers

This text presents the key findings of the International Symposium held in Delft in 2003, which explored the process of shallow flows. Shallow flows are found in lowland rivers, lakes, estuaries, bays, coastal areas and in density-stratified atmospheres, and may be observed in puddles, as in oceans. They impact on the life and work of a wide variety of readers, who are here provided with a clear overview of the subject. Shallow flows are intrinsically turbulent. On one hand, there are strongly three-dimensional, small-scale turbulent motions and on the other hand, large-scale quasi-two-dimensional turbulence. This book explains and examines these differences and their effects with sections on transport processes in shallow flows; shallow jets, wakes and mixing layers; stratified and rotating flows in ocean and atmosphere; river and channel flows; and numerical modelling and turbulence closure techniques. The reader is provided with the pick of current studies and a fresh approach to the subject, with expert examination of a fascinating and crucial phenomenon of our world's water systems.

Trilingual edition (English/German/Slovenian) / Dreisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch/slowenisch) Günther Domenig died in 2012, having become internationally known for his iconic Steinhaus and the architecturally important Nazi Party Rally Grounds Documentation Center in Nuremberg. The trilingual volume In Resonance takes an unusual approach to his work, offering an outsider's view of the Carinthia- born architect’s oeuvre—ne that stands apart from both the dominant perspectives on his work and from the norms of architecture books in general. The intimate picture series by photographer Gerhard Maurer comprises over thirty of the buildings designed by Günther Domenig and stands in dialogue with writer Anna Baar’s essayist approach to the architect’s work. The essays and photos capture the architecture in its current context and create space for contradictions, for lacunae, for the unusable—nd for the beautiful.

Equipping machines with comprehensive knowledge of the world’s entities and their relationships has been a longstanding goal of AI. Over the last decade, large-scale knowledge bases, also known as knowledge graphs, have been automatically constructed from web contents and text sources, and have become a key asset for search engines. This machine knowledge can be harnessed to semantically interpret textual phrases in news, social media and web tables, and contributes to question answering, natural language processing and data analytics. This monograph surveys fundamental concepts and practical methods for creating and curating large knowledge bases. It covers models and methods for discovering and curating large knowledge bases from online content, with emphasis on semi-structured web pages with lists, tables etc., and unstructured text sources. Case studies on academic projects and industrial knowledge graphs complement the survey of concepts and methods. The intended audience is students and researchers interested in a wide spectrum of topics: from machine knowledge and data quality to machine learning and data science as well as applications in web content mining and natural language understanding. It will also be of interest to industrial practitioners working on semantic technologies for web, social media, or enterprise content.

Why do people write a warning on cigarette packs that smoking can be fatal? Because we don't trust individuals to always make the decision that the general public thinks is the right one. To answer the question "What should I do?", People need motivational aids. They are controlled by a complex set of rules, laws and moral requirements to protect individuals from "wrong" decisions. This danger is obviously classified as great; unlike what it suggests based on rational ethics, even ethical decisions fit fully into an economic system. Economics is to be understood as the organization of our life needs: Our brain tries to simplify everything as possible and to use its resources sparingly. It is committed to an economy of thought. The authors of the book discuss how our picture of economy, ethics, morality and decision changes if we take the results of recent brain research seriously.

Surrounded by potential adversaries, nineteenth-century Prussia and twentieth-century Germany faced the formidable prospect of multifront wars and wars of attrition. To counteract these threats, generations of general staff officers were educated in operational thinking, the main tenets of which were extremely influential on military planning across the globe and were adopted by American and Soviet armies. In the twentieth century, Germany's art of warfare dominated military theory and practice, creating a myth of German operational brilliance that lingers today, despite the nation's crushing defeats in two world wars.In this seminal study, Gerhard P. Gross provides a comprehensive examination of the development and failure of German operational thinking over a period of more than a century. He analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of five different armies, from the mid--nineteenth century through the early days of NATO. He also offers fresh interpretations of towering figures of German military history, including Moltke the Elder, Alfred von Schlieffen, and Erich Ludendorff. Essential reading for military historians and strategists, this innovative work dismantles cherished myths and offers new insights into Germany's failed attempts to become a global power through military means.

In 2019, Wolfgang Laib entered into a dialogue with masterpieces by Fra Angelico, Leon Battista Alberti, Filippo Brunelleschi and Benozzo Gozzoli in his philosophical and poetic installations of pollen and beeswax. The publication documents impressively this unique and spectacular art event. Following an invitation from the Museo Novecento in Florence, Wolfgang Laib – one of the outstanding artists of the present day – created five works in four of the city’s main sights, including the convent of San Marco and the Pazzi Chapel. In their juxtaposition with the historic masterpieces, the delicate pollen sculptures and the imposing beeswax ziggurat cause the contrast between present and past, physical place and endless space, and real and spiritual life to become blurred and lead us towards the central questions of life.

Der dritte Band der Gesammelten Schriften von Hermann Schweppenhäuser enthält im ersten Teil systematische Erörterungen sozialphilosophischer Begriffe, im zweiten Teil Abhandlungen mit philosophiegeschichtlichen Schwerpunkten (vom späten 18. bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts) und im dritten Teil Texte, die im Zusammenhang mit der akademischen philosophischen Lehre stehen. Ergänzt wird der Band durch einen Brief von Theodor W. Adorno aus dem Jahre 1960 und ein Nachwort von Schweppenhäusers langjährigen Kollegen Günther Mensching. Eine „spezifische Verbindung von scharfer Kritik am Üblichen und Konventionellen mit eindringlicher Besinnung auf die Verbindlichkeit vergangener geistiger Zeugnisse kennzeichnet, über die Gründer der Frankfurter Schule weit hinaus, die Denkweise Hermann Schweppenhäusers. Die Komplexität seines Stils macht die Anstrengung spürbar, Kontinuität und radikale Diskontinuität der europäischen Kultur, zumal der deutschen, zusammenzudenken. Kein anderes Mitglied der Schule hat sich so hingebungsvoll seinen Gegenständen zugewendet wie er.“ (Günther Mensching)

Die Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitnehmerinnen sollen zukünftig länger erwerbstätig sein. Die gesetzliche Anhebung der Altersgrenze zum Renteneintritt und finanzielle Verschlechterung bei einem frühzeitigen Berufsausstieg bewirken jedoch nicht, daß die Beschäftigten auch länger arbeiten können. Die Arbeits- und Beschäftigungsbedingungen, die Erwerbsverläufe, die Arbeitszeit und die Arbeitsanforderungen müßten auch entsprechend "altersgerecht" organisiert und gestaltet werden. Welche Konzepte und Vorstellungen gibt es dazu? Und wie ist es um die Möglichkeiten bestellt, diese in der betrieblichen Praxis umzusetzen? An welche Voraussetzungen und finanzielle Rahmenbedingungen sind sie geknüpft? Diesen Fragen gehen die Autoren anhand konkreter betrieblicher Beispiele nach, so daß die Chancen einer altersorientierten Arbeits- und Beschäftigungspolitik, aber auch die Widerstände und die zu überwindenden Barrieren in den Unternehmen deutlich werden.

The Welfare State and Life Transitions uses the lens of key life stages to highlight changes in these transitions and in available resources for citizen support within nine European welfare states.This timely book reveals that new life courses are found to require more, and not less welfare support, but only Sweden has developed an active life course approach and only three more could be considered supportive, in at least some life stages. For the remainder, policies were at best limited or, in Italy?s case, passive. The contributors reveal that the neglect of changing needs is leading to greater reliance on the family and the labour market, just as these support structures are becoming more unpredictable and more unequal. They argue that alongside these new class inequalities, new forms of inter-generational inequality are also emerging, particularly in pension provision.This topical book will strongly appeal to academics and students interested in social policy, gender equality policy, pensions, industrial relations, labour economics, political science, and comparative welfare systems.

Christa Wolf tried for years to find a way to write about her childhood in Nazi Germany. In her 1976 book Patterns of Childhood, she explained why it was so difficult: "Gradually, over a period of months, the dilemma has emerged: to remain speechless or to live in the third person, these seem to be the options. One is impossible, the other sinister." During 1971 and 1972 she made thirty-three attempts to start the novel, abandoning each manuscript only pages in. Eulogy for the Living, written over the course of four weeks, is the longest of those fragments. In its pages, Wolf recalls with crystalline precision the everyday details of her life as a middle-class grocer's daughter, and the struggles within the family--struggles common to most families, but exacerbated by the rise of Nazism. And as Nazism fell, the Wolfs fled west, trying to stay ahead of the rampaging Red Army. Though Wolf abandoned this account, it stands, in fragmentary form, as a testament to her skill as a thinker, storyteller, and memorializer of humanity's greatest struggles.

This book makes available for the first time in English—and for the first time in its entirety in any language—an important yet little-known interview on the topic of photography that Jacques Derrida granted in 1992 to the German theorist of photography Hubertus von Amelunxen and the German literary and media theorist Michael Wetzel. Their conversation addresses, among other things, questions of presence and its manufacture, the technicity of presentation, the volatility of the authorial subject, and the concept of memory. Derrida offers a penetrating intervention with regard to the distinctive nature of photography vis-à-vis related technologies such as cinema, television, and video. Questioning the all-too-facile divides between so-called old and new media, original and reproduction, analog and digital modes of recording and presenting, he provides stimulating insights into the ways in which we think and speak about the photographic image today. Along the way, the discussion fruitfully interrogates the question of photography in relation to such key concepts as copy, archive, and signature. Gerhard Richter introduces the volume with a critical meditation on the relationship between deconstruction and photography by way of the concepts of translation and invention. Copy, Archive, Signature will be of compelling interest to readers in the fields of contemporary European critical thought, photography, aesthetic theory, media studies, and French Studies, as well as those following the singular intellectual trajectory of one the most influential thinkers of our time.
