Appearing here in English for the first time, Vladimir Jankélévitch's Henri Bergson is one of the two great commentaries written on Henri Bergson. Gilles Deleuze's Bergsonism renewed interest in the great French philosopher but failed to consider Bergson's experiential and religious perspectives. Here Jankélévitch covers all aspects of Bergson's thought, emphasizing the concepts of time and duration, memory, evolution, simplicity, love, and joy. A friend of Bergson's, Jankélévitch first published this book in 1931 and revised it in 1959 to treat Bergson's later works. This unabridged translation of the 1959 edition includes an editor's introduction, which contextualizes and outlines Jankélévitch's reading of Bergson, additional essays on Bergson by Jankélévitch, and Bergson's letters to Jankélévitch.

Issues surrounding birth and death have been fundamental for Western philosophy as well as for individual existence. The contributors to this volume unravel the gendered aspects of the classical philosophical discourses on death, bringing in discussions about birth, creativity, and the entire chain of human activity. By linking their work to major thinkers such as Heidegger, Nietzsche, Beauvoir, and Arendt, and to major philosophical currents such as ancient philosophy, existentialism, phenomenology, and social and political philosophy, they challenge prevailing feminist articulations of birth and death. These philosophical reflections add an important sexual dimension to current thinking on identity, temporality, and community.

After Sept. 11, 2001, George W. Bush declared, “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.” Bush’s assertion was not simply jingoist bravado—it encapsulates the civilizationalist moralism that has motivated and defined the United States since its beginning, linking the War on Terror to the nation’s settlement and founding.In Queer Terror, C. Heike Schotten offers a critique of U.S. settler-colonial empire that draws on political, queer, and critical indigenous theory to situate Bush’s either/or moralism and reframe the concept of terrorism. The categories of the War on Terror exemplify the moralizing politics that insulate U.S. empire from critique, render its victims deserving of its abuses, and delegitimize resistance to it as unthinkable and perverse. Schotten provides an anatomy of this moralism, arguing for a new interpretation of biopolitics that is focused on sovereignty and desire rather than racism and biology. This rethinking of biopolitics puts critical political theory of empire in dialogue with the insights of both native studies and queer theory. Building on queer theory’s refusal of sanctity, propriety, and moralisms of all sorts, Schotten ultimately contends that the answer to Bush’s ultimatum is clear: dissidents must reject the false choice he presents and stand decisively against “us,” rejecting its moralism and the sanctity of its “life,” in order to further a truly emancipatory, decolonizing queer politics.

Dass Historiker ihren Beruf heute anders begreifen als vor hundert Jahren, verdanken sie nicht zuletzt einem wissenschaftlichen Paradigmenwechsel, der mit dem Namen "Annales" verbunden ist. Vor allem nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde diese 1929 von Marc Bloch und Lucien Febvre gegründete Zeitschrift zum Inbegriff einer nonkonformistischen, interdisziplinären Geschichtsschreibung. Darin war nicht mehr von großen Männern, Kriegen und Diplomatie die Rede, sondern von ökonomischen Interessen und sozialen Klassen, von technologischen Entwicklungen und Mentalitäten. Mit dem Erfolg der "Annales" entstand allerdings auch ein Mythos, den es zu historisieren gilt. Dabei kommt dem Verhältnis der "Annales" zu Deutschland und zur deutschen Geschichtsschreibung eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Denn zum einen galt die deutsche Geschichtswissenschaft zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts als führend, zum anderen haben sich Bloch, Febvre und die anderen "Annales"-Historiker mit keiner anderen Historiographie so intensiv auseinandergesetzt, wobei sie immer wieder betonten, dass man angesichts von Weltkrieg und "Pangermanismus" nicht nur "von Deutschland lernen", sondern auch "verlernen" müsse. Diesen schwierigen, konfliktuellen Beziehungen und Verflechtungen zwischen französischen und deutschen Historikern, vor allem in den Zwischenkriegsjahren und während der NS-Zeit, spürt der deutsch-französische Historiker Peter Schöttler in diesem Buch nach.Für den vorliegenden Band wurden Beiträge aus etwa fünfundzwanzig Jahren zusammengestellt, gegebenenfalls übersetzt und überarbeitet.

'The editor has grouped the 15 substantive chapters into one of four themes: order, leadership, institutions, and prospects and perspectives. She succinctly expresses the unifying challenge within the region as one of managing rapid growth but also confronting its vulnerability. There is much of value in this volume …'Journal of the Indian Ocean RegionFive out of the eight South Asian countries have direct access to the Indian ocean, yet research tends to focus instead on the region's landmass. Much less attention is paid to the extensive maritime space that links South Asian countries, provides their populations with vital access to resources, connects their economies to global trade networks and perhaps most importantly, contributes to law and order at sea.At a time when the Indian Ocean has gained great interest and relevance for many global actors, the role and location of South Asia will have critical implications for strategic calculation and alignment. Furthermore, if trade imbalances are to be tackled and economic globalization to regain steam, enhancing South Asia's ability to export and import through the oceans is essential. Finally, climate change is projected to impact South Asia massively. Coping with humanitarian crises and natural disasters will need critical investments in maritime capacities and cooperation.This edited volume brings together multiple perspectives on contemporary maritime governance in South Asia, from practitioners, policy-makers and academics around the world. They examine India's role as South Asia's leading naval and economic power and the capacity of key actors to shape maritime order in the Indian Ocean.

Hiermit liegt der erste Band einer Auswahl von Briefen Max Webers auf der Grundlage der Max Weber-Gesamtausgabe vor. Dieser erste Band Reisebriefe enthält mehr als siebzig Briefe und Karten, die Max Weber auf seinen zahlreichen Reisen innerhalb Europas und in Nordamerika geschrieben hat. Der Band setzt mit Webers Jugendbriefen ein, denn er war früh eingeübt in die Kulturpraxis des Bürgertums, Anderen von seinen Reiseerfahrungen ausführlich und anschaulich Mitteilung zu machen.Schon von den Reisen mit Vater und Brüdern berichtete der junge Max lebhaft seiner Mutter. Über die ausgedehnten, mit Marianne Weber unternommenen Reisen nach Schottland und Irland 1895, Frankreich und Spanien 1897 und die berühmte Reise quer durch die Vereinigten Staaten 1904 erhielt Helene Weber eingehende Berichte. Es sind kulturhistorische Momentaufnahmen mit dem Blick auf Clans und Sozialstrukturen in Schottland und Irland, auf den Erzabbau im Baskenland, den "Brutstätten des Capitalismus", oder die amerikanischen Sekten. Wir können Max Weber, stets mit Manuskripten und Lektüre unterwegs, bei seinem Besuch des Rijksmuseums in Amsterdam und in den mediterranen Süden begleiten. Der Band endet 1914 mit der letzten Reise in den Süden, wenige Monate vor Ausbruch des 1. Weltkriegs.Eingeleitet wird die Auswahl der Reisebriefe durch einen Essay von Hinnerk Bruhns (Paris); ein biografisches Personenregister erschließt die Briefe, die gegenüber der zugrundeliegenden Max Weber-Gesamtausgabe vereinfacht zum Abdruck gelangen. Die Briefauswahl wird durch einen weiteren Band Gelehrtenbriefe fortgeführt.

The book investigates China’s relations to the outside world between ca. 100 BCE and 1800 CE. In contrast to most histories of the Silk Roads, the focus of this book clearly lies on the maritime Silk Road and on the period between Tang and high Qing, selecting aspects that have so far been neglected in research on the history of China’s relations with the outside world.

One of the major challenges of modern neuroscience is to define the complex pattern of neural connections that underlie cognition and behaviour. Brain connections have been investigated extensively in many animal species, including monkeys. Until recently, however, we have been unable to verify their existence in humans or identify possible tracts that are unique to the human brain. The Atlas of Human Brain Connections capitalises on novel diffusion MRI tractography methods to provide a comprehensive overview of connections derived from virtual in vivo tractography dissections of the human brain. The book introduces the reader to the fundaments of human brain organization as derived from the study of the surface, sectional and connectional anatomy. It starts with an historical overview of the giant steps taken in neuroanatomy, from its birth more than 2000 years ago, to contemporary neuroimaging insights. Next, detailed descriptions of the major white matter connections, their function, and associated clinical syndromes are dealt with in detail. The composite maps of the Atlas are an excellent anatomical resource for teaching, clinical, and research purposes. By reviewing the basic principles of neuroanatomy, its historical roots, and its modern achievements in the field of DTI tractography, the book fills the gap between the detailed connectional anatomy of the monkey brain and the 19th century descriptions of white matter tracts from post-mortem human dissections. Covering a wide range of topics in the field of clinical neuroanatomy, this book constitutes both an excellent introduction to the brain, and a valuable reference work for experienced clinicians and researchers working in the field of neurology, psychiatry, neurosurgery, and neuroradiology.
