The Book of Qohelet is still mysterious and challenging. Disguised as King Solomon, a philosopher and scribe reflects how wisdom can be found, how God can be perceived. Within the book, traditional Jewish Wisdom and Hellenistic philosophy intermingle and Qohelet deconstructs both of them. He presents his argument as a dialogue between a fictitious author and an unknown audience. The audience is drawn into the dialogue and challenged to take position. Melanie Köhmoos focuses on the literary structure and its strategies in this commentary on the Book of Qohelet.

In the mid-1920s, Adler and his group of individual psychologists in Vienna devoted themselves intensively to the practice of educational counseling. The book "Human Knowledge" can be seen as the result and foundation of this socio-educational commitment. In it, Adler shows the background and motivations of human behavior and wants to make it understandable. With this in mind, in the first part he deals with basic anthropological questions such as the "social nature of mental life", the child's ability to be influenced in its environment or the "relationship between the sexes". In the second part, Adler focuses on the essence and development of the human character and analyzes various character traits as well as separating and connecting affects. With his character studies he also wants to lead to a deeper understanding of people as "community beings", because "Errors in knowing human nature are life-threatening", writes Adler in the foreword Self-knowledge with a theoretical presentation of its individual psychology.

Language and narratives are bridges between the body and the world. We convey our work experiences in stories and dialogues. Counselors can build on these narrative motifs, tell stories, use metaphors and empower their clients to rearrange narratives and free up resources. Klaus Obermeyer conveys the inherent power of the narratives contained in work narratives and organizational theories and describes thought models and methods of narrative consulting. A detailed practical example illustrates how consultation can function as a poetic process of shared authorship. A consulting approach that builds on the creative power of language, narratives and metaphors as well as their aesthetic dimension.

Das Phänomen Transidentität oder Transsexualismus begegnet uns heutzutage an vielen Orten. Transidente Menschen treten auch in Talkshows und Doku-Sendungen auf, wo sie über ihr Leben berichten in einer im Vergleich zu früheren Zeiten zwar toleranteren, aber noch längst nicht wirklich akzeptierenden Gesellschaft. Udo Rauchfleisch skizziert den Weg vom Pathologiekonzept "Transsexualismus" zur "Genderdysphorie" bis hin zur "Geschlechtsinkongruenz" und dem nichtpathologischen Begriff der "Transidentität". Er fordert die absolute Selbstentscheidung der Transidenten über die von ihnen gewünschten Schritte in ihrer sogenannten Transition. Eine professionelle Begleitung Transidenter hat meist den Charakter eines transaffirmativen Coachings. Neben Transmenschen selbst und ihren Angehörigen richtet sich das Buch vor allem an Fachleute der verschiedenen Disziplinen, die an der Begleitung und Therapie von Transidenten beteiligt sind.

Intercultural competence is already recognized as a key qualification for professional success. However, there is less agreement on the following questions: - What are the scientific foundations of intercultural competence? - Is intercultural competence understood the same everywhere in the world? - How can intercultural competence be acquired and developed in schools, universities and companies? - How does it work? Intercultural competence in practical fields such as corporate culture, peace and security policy, development cooperation, migration and personnel development? Application-oriented scientific analyzes and theoretically reflected practical contributions provide answers to these questions in a transdisciplinary dialogue. Proven experts from research and practice and at home and abroad draw an interim assessment and show innovative ways for the future.

Supervision has undergone a remarkable development in recent decades. It established itself in many fields of work world. The very practical and application-related supervision is required to review, update and expand their knowledge and knowledge, and to achieve a scientific foundation for their practice. The necessity and attractiveness of a research-based further development of the theory and practice of supervision is seen both by the community and by scientists without their own supervision training. The frequent complaint that there is no supervision research can be put into perspective. One can currently complain rather about the lack of networking, the lack of awareness of research work and the rare discussion about findings and results. This volume addresses these circumstances and contributes to publicizing, networking and a research-friendly culture. It presents a collection of research results and research considerations by authors from a wide variety of disciplines. This reflects a differentiated understanding of research and science. The book is not only aimed at scientists and researchers, but the content and perspectives are chosen so that practitioners can also benefit from it in many ways.

Military hospitals shaped the war experience of millions of German soldiers during the First World War. In the home hospital the wounded and sick met military doctors, nurses and civilian helpers, inspectors, prisoners of war and onlookers. Alina Enzensberger tracks down the hospitals on the home front as transitional areas between the military and civilian spheres. Using a wide range of sources, she reconstructs the everyday life and experience of patients, military medical disciplinary and propaganda strategies as well as debates about war neuroses, invalidity and the commitment of the civilian population.

Text in German. Werner Conze (19101986) is one of the most important, but also most controversial German historians of the 20th century. With his pioneering work in social and conceptual history, he contributed significantly to broadening the perspective of West German historical studies after 1945. As a young historian he had worked against National Socialism, which he never commented on publicly after the war. On the basis of a newly opened estate and other sources that have not been taken into account so far, the biography traces the historian's scientific and political metamorphoses between the Third Reich and the Federal Republic.

The study examines the life and work of the Polish-Jewish historians Mojżesz Schorr and Majer Balaban, who both were active primarily in Lvov and Warsaw during the Second Polish Republic. Against the backdrop of a then pluralistic environment of multinational and multiethnic empires caught up in change and reeling towards ultimate collapse, they developed a perspective on Jewish history combining the long tradition of Jewry in Poland with Polish general history. Both historians shared the conviction that a Jewish consciousness of history could increasingly supplant religion in a world that was in the process of secularization.For the first time, Maria Gotzen-Dold connects a broad assessment of the works by Schorr and Balaban, and subsequent studies by their pupils following in their footsteps, with findings from extensive archival research conducted in Poland and Ukraine. In doing so, she draws a picture of the expectations and perspectives arising from the decline and eventual fall of the old imperial order and its transition to cultures of history grounded in the nation state at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Using five basic texts written in early modern Europe between 1499 and 1627, Susanne Zepp examines the role of Jewish culture in the process of the development of modernity in Romanticism: "La Celestina", the "Dialoghi d'amore" by Leone Ebreo, the first picaresque novel in world literature "Lazarillo de Tormes", the "Essais" by Michel de Montaigne and João Pinto Delgado's poetic adaptations of the Bible. It presents the change in genres and the literary evidence of that time against the background of the history of the 16th century and shows how the emergence of early modern subject consciousness can also be explained from a literary perspective as a universalization of originally particular Jewish experiences.

In the fifty years in which representatives of two ideological messages of salvation ruled in Germany, the religious community of Jehovah's Witnesses was banned. Both regimes believed they saw an imminent threat to their rule in the refusal of required gestures of loyalty, in the denial of any military or military service, and in the illegal continuation of the religious life. Many of the believers died, thousands were imprisoned, lost their jobs, or otherwise harassed. Neglected for many years by the public and by historical research, the Jehovah's Witnesses are no longer "forgotten victims".

The focus of the volume is on the negative factors for the establishment and consolidation of democratic constitutional states resulting from previous autocratic regimes with totalitarian features. The fall of the Iron Curtain and the collapse of the one-party regimes in Central and Eastern Europe favored democratic developments in many countries. But they went different ways, and some of them abandoned the path of democratic transformation that had been taken initially after a short time. The great differences in the eastern transformations raise the question of why, at first glance, very similar starting conditions led to very different results. What role did the totalitarian hereditary burden of "actually existing socialism" play in this?

Few philosophers and social scientists of the 20th century are likely to have had an intellectual influence on the debates in science and the public as much as Hannah Arendt. At the same time, only a few were so controversial, only a few were so polarized and only a few saw themselves exposed to such intense hostility as they did. A number of their theses and considerations met with energetic opposition and triggered downright hateful debates, some of which are still carried on today. Hannah Arendt is rightly regarded as a stimulating thinker - who will possibly continue to have an effect in the future, especially through her problems. In this volume, philosophers, political scientists, sociologists and historians take up Hannah Arendt's ideas, problems and considerations and continue them critically.

Small-scale living environments shaped existence from the German Empire to the Nazi era. For the contemporaries, everyday activities in a small room were a matter of course. In a changing world, one's own community, city and region created identity and meaning. What was the relationship between regional identity and other identitary reference systems, what ideas were associated with the design of the regional and what influence did it exert on society and politics? Using the example of Bavarian Swabia, Martina Steber follows the mental construction of the regional and assesses its function and relevance in the very period in which the ambivalence of modernity was so dazzling and horrific at the same time.

The relationship between the Ministry of State Security and the Polish Ministry of the Interior or its secret service was one of the most difficult within the Warsaw Pact. The volume describes the coexistence and opposition of the two secret services on the basis of extensive source research and a detailed consideration of their diverging interests. Behind the facade of an officially prescribed and contractually agreed friendship, there was abysmal mistrust. The Polish perspective also reveals surprising weaknesses of the Stasi. The time focus is on the years 1974 to 1990, but the study also looks at the early years since 1949. In the frosty relationship of the allied secret services, the problematic relationship between the two 'brother states' is always reflected.

For many people in German-speaking countries, the natural sciences in particular seemed to promise social progress after the revolution of 1848/49. The most radical representatives of this interpretation were the so-called natural scientific materialists Carl Vogt (18171895), Jacob Moleschott (18221893) and Ludwig Büchner (18241899). In a mixture of scientific popularization, anti-clericalism and progressive thinking, the materialists turned against religious interpretations of life and celebrated the natural sciences as the central authority of modernity. These positions sparked decades of debate. The study asks what conceptions of the relationship between science, religion and society manifested themselves in the discussion of materialism.

The New World was at the center of a variety of interests. Only slowly, however, did it become a space of the imaginary, the utopian, and the experience of others and oneself. Christian Kiening describes for the first time coherently how the two Americas are discovered as objects of aesthetic, literary and scientific meaning, how complex processes of exchange and intersections arise and figures of transition - the feral European and the Europeanized savage - emerge. The diverse stories of alterity and mimesis, of utopian and literary islands are dealt with. Kiening's brilliant study offers a prehistory of exoticism and a longing for nature and reveals the cultural and historical conditions under which the foreign is represented as the foreign.

The contributions are devoted to various manifestations of the formation of rule and the regional consolidation of rule in the Middle Ages from the areas of medieval art and building history, from literary studies and source studies, from archeology and the comparative interpretation of Palatinate research as well as from the analysis of outpatient rulership practice. The focus of the volume is on the representative side of the travel kingdom in the buildings connected to it, as well as the literary representation of actions and places. All in all, the result is a balance sheet of the Palatinate research as well as the opening of new perspectives for future studies on Palatinate, residences and court culture in the early Middle Ages.

The Enlightenment revolutionized consciousness by stretching it into the Kantian polarity of "Age of Enlightenment" and "Enlightened Age". Enlightenment means on the one hand a clearly delimited historical epoch, on the other hand a universal process that continues to this day. The Enlightenment accelerated modernization processes like the rationalization of statehood. With her progressive thinking she established the belief in inner-worldly happiness realization and thus gave all cultural, social and political processes a new dynamic. The Enlightenment has European origins, but it worked and works worldwide. The current world contrast between Islamism and Western civilization can therefore be understood as a result of the effects of the Enlightenment.

Nach der Aufarbeitung der Fruhgeschichte des Bundesnachrichtendienstes und des Bundesamtes fur Verfassungsschutz folgt die Geschichte des dritten Nachrichtendienstes der Bundesrepublik, der Militarische Abschirmdienst der Bundeswehr (MAD). Dieser ist fur die Sicherheit der Bundeswehr zustandig. Erstmals liegt eine aktengestutzte Geschichte der Organisation und ihrer Mitarbeiter von 1956 bis 1990 vor. Dabei werden die personellen Kontinuitaten innerhalb der Aufbaugeneration ebenso in den Blick genommen, wie die Hauptarbeitsfelder personeller und materieller Geheimschutz, Spionage- und Sabotageabwehr und der Kampf gegen politischen Extremismus und Terrorismus. Daruber hinaus wird das schwierige Verhaltnis des MAD zu den Medien thematisiert. Wie bei den anderen Nachrichtendiensten auch, gibt es beim MAD Kontinuitaten und Bruche. Insgesamt hat sich der MAD gegen einen personell und materiell stets uberlegenen Gegner trotz einiger Pannen und Skandale meist durchsetzen konnen.
