The reading contains selected texts from Augustine's work "De civitate dei". In 410 Rome, the invincible city, was sacked by the Visigoths - but what was the cause of the decline of Rome? For many Romans it was clear: Christianity was to blame. Augustine turns against this accusation and gives us insights into society at the end of the Western Roman Empire and into the political thinking of early Christianity.

Karl Popper behandelt und kritisiert in diesem Buch zwar vordergründig den Historizismus, das heißt die Lehre, daß es Gesetze der historischen Entwicklung gibt, in seinen antinaturalistischen und pronaturalistischen Ausprägungen. Im Grunde ist das Buch aber viel breiter angelegt. Es ist die erkenntnisfördernde Übertragung von Poppers Wissenschaftslehre auf Politik, Soziologie und Geschichte, für deren Problemstellungen es neue überraschende Lösungen aufzeigt.Karl Popper diskutiert hier die Vor- und Nachteile praxisorientierter Wissenschaft. Er behandelt nicht nur Fragen, ob die Methoden der Naturwissenschaften auf die Sozialwissenschaften übertragen werden können, sondern ebenso Fragen, auf welche Weise eine demokratische Gesellschaft organisiert sein soll, damit die Politik nicht zu großen Schaden anrichtet und ein Höchstmaß an Freiheit garantiert ist.Jeder, der an politischen, soziologischen und historischen Fragestellungen interessiert ist, wird deshalb aus diesem Buch Anregungen und Lösungsvorschläge entnehmen können, die heute noch so aktuell sind wie vor 50 Jahren. Das Buch ist ein Standardwerk der Anwendung wissenschaftlicher Theorien auf die konkrete Praxis."... Mit Nachdruck richtet Popper seine differenzierte und sorgfältig aufgebaute Kritik vor allem gegen die ‚ganzheitliche Betrachtungsweise' der sozialen Welt (‚Holismus'), gegen das ‚intuitive' Verstehen und Deuten geschichtlicher Veränderungen und gegen trügerische historische oder naturwissenschaftlich verbrämte Analogieschlüsse bei den theoretischen und spekulativen Bemühungen um geschichtliche ‚Großprognosen'. ..."Ernst Weymar in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Nr. 246 vom 22.10.1966

"Castles, Battles, and Bombs" reconsiders key episodes of military history from the point of view of economics - with dramatically insightful results. For example, when looked at as a question of sheer cost, the building of castles in the High Middle Ages seems almost inevitable: though stunningly expensive, a strong castle was far cheaper to maintain than a standing army. The authors also reexamine the strategic bombing of Germany in World War II and provide new insights into France's decision to develop nuclear weapons. Drawing on these examples and more, Jurgen Brauer and Hubert van Tuyll suggest lessons for today's military, from counter terrorist strategy and military manpower planning to the use of private military companies in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Policies to promote high participation in Higher Educations (HE) systems aim to deliver social justice and economic development through widening participation of under-represented groups. Degrees of Success provides a critical test of this through examination of participation and success of learners progressing to HE with a vocational background. Employing an original conceptual framework that combines the ideas of Basil Bernstein and Pierre Bourdieu the authors analyse the various transitional frictions experienced by learners with VET backgrounds on their journeys into and through the HE system. The findings indicate that including students with vocational qualifications does lead to widening participation but that their modes of participation may not provide fair access and outcomes. In part this is due to the epistemic incompatibilities between higher and vocational education which remain unresolved despite constant VET qualification reform. This book, therefore, extends the debate about widening participation beyond metaphors of barriers to access to consider the epistemic and pedagogical challenges of increasing student heterogeneity in high participation HE systems. The analysis and policy suggestions therefore have relevance for all seeking to support students' HE learning journeys, and policy makers concerned with how best to utilise HE systems as means of furthering social mobility and justice.

Few novels have caused as much debate as Hubert Selby Jr.'s notorious masterpiece, Last Exit to Brooklyn, and this Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting.Described by various reviewers as hellish and obscene, Last Exit to Brooklyn tells the stories of New Yorkers who at every turn confront the worst excesses in human nature. Yet there are moments of exquisite tenderness in these troubled lives. Georgette, the transvestite who falls in love with a callous hoodlum; Tralala, the conniving prostitute who plumbs the depths of sexual degradation; and Harry, the strike leader who hides his true desires behind a boorish masculinity, are unforgettable creations. Last Exit to Brooklyn was banned by British courts in 1967, a decision that was reversed the following year with the help of a number of writers and critics including Anthony Burgess and Frank Kermode. Hubert Selby, Jr. (1928-2004) was born in Brooklyn, New York. At the age of 15, he dropped out of school and went to sea with the merchant marines. While at sea he was diagnosed with lung disease. With no other way to make a living, he decided to try writing: 'I knew the alphabet. Maybe I could be a writer.' In 1964 he completed his first book, Last Exit to Brooklyn, which has since become a cult classic. In 1966, it was the subject of an obscenity trial in the UK. His other books include The Room, The Demon, Requiem for a Dream, The Willow Tree and Waiting Period. In 2000, Requiem for a Dream was adapted into a film starring Jared Leto and Ellen Burstyn, and directed by Darren Aronofsky.If you enjoyed Last Exit to Brooklyn, you might like Larry McMurty's The Last Picture Show, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'Last Exit to Brooklyn will explode like a rusty hellish bombshell over America, and still be eagerly read in 100 years'Allen Ginsberg'An urgent tickertape from hell'Spectator

Welchen Einfluss hatte die Ausbildung des Imperium Romanum auf die Religionsgeschichte des dadurch integrierten Raumes? In einer Reihe von Fällen unterstützt religiöse Kommunikation die neuen Herrschaftsstrukturen, Rom kann sich hier Mechanismen zunutze machen, die schon in hellenistischer Zeit ausgebildet wurden. Der überraschende Befund der hier vorgelegten Untersuchungen reicht aber weiter: Die Diffusion von religiösen Zeichen und Praktiken wie die Ausbildung universaler Züge in den regionalen Kulturen wie der römischen Religion im besonderen legen es nahe, von einer 'Koine', von der Religion des Imperium Romanum im Singular zu sprechen. Diese Koine findet weder an den administrativen Trennlinien der Provinzen, an den Rändern ethnischer Gruppen noch an unterschiedlichen Überzeugungen und Gottheiten eine strikte Grenze, sie umschließt Kleinasien wie Nordafrika, den Donauraum wie Griechenland und Italien. In dieser Koine agieren Intellektuelle und religiöse Spezialisten, Architekten und Heilssucher. Zugleich ist, bei aller Verbreitung und Strukturähnlichkeit, die religiöse Vielfalt nicht zu übersehen. Es existieren tiefgreifende Unterschiede, die zu Konfrontationen führen. Akzeptanz und Repression, Toleranz und erzwungene Homogenität stehen nebeneinander, lokale Pluralität und gewalttätige Konfrontation lassen sich nachweisen. Historisch spannen die Beiträge in deutscher, englischer und französischer Sprache einen Bogen vom zweiten Jh. v. Chr. bis zum 4. Jh. n. Chr.

A.S.J. Tessimond (1902-1962) was one of the most individual, versatile and approachable voices in 20th century poetry. Influenced at first by the Imagists, his poetry is remarkable for its lucidity and formal exactness and for its witty, humane depiction of life in the modern city. Out of step with his contemporaries - both Pound and Eliot as well as Auden and his followers - Tessimond was always a marginalised figure, publishing only three collections in his lifetime, one in each decade from 1934 to 1958. Yet his work has been popular enough to be included in numerous anthologies and has been a perennial favourite with listeners of radio programmes such as Poetry Please. This edition is a long awaited reissue of the posthumous Collected Poems edited by his friend the writer Hubert Nicholson, who characterised his poems as 'beautiful, shapely, well wrought and elegant, whether in public of private mode', penetrating the heart of both London and England: 'His hallmark, his unique contribution to the body poetic, is to be found in those poems encapsulating urban types - and the institutions that shape and demarcate their lives, the popular press and radio, films, money, advertising, houses, tube stations, the implacable streets...He wrote a good deal about love, its hopes and ecstasies and its frustrations and sadness.' As Nicholson has pointed out, Tessimond wrote many poems in the first person, 'but they are not in the least egotistical. They are imaginative projections of himself into types, places, generalised Man, even God or Fate.' He was 'entirely a man of the city', his 'landscape' pieces depicting Hyde Park Corner, Chelsea Embankment, a Paris cafe and even an overcrowded bus in Jamaica. 'He loved the life around him and was a meditative as well as an observant man. He reflected, and reflected on, the passing show, kindly, honestly, and with wit and wisdom.' Tessimond has been described as an eccentric, a night-lifer, loner and flaneur. He loved women, was always falling in love, but never married. He suffered from frequent bouts of depression, alleviated neither by a succession of psychiatrists nor by electric shock therapy. The fact that he was plagued by self-doubt and was fiercely critical of his own work must have contributed to his work being too little published and too much neglected, despite being championed by an extraordinary variety of admirers, from Michael Roberts, John Lehmann and Ceri Richards to Bernard Levin, Maggie Smith, Bill Deedes and Trevor McDonald. Maggie Smith read his poem 'Heaven' at the funeral of Bernard Levin, for whom Tessimond was 'a quiet voice, which makes it easy to miss the resonances, but they are there, and although I doubt if he will achieve a widespread fame, I am sure that any future anthology of twentieth-century English verse that does not include a sample of his work will be less complete, less representative and less valuable than it might have been.' In an obituary for The Times, Tessimond's friend, the critic George Rostrevor Hamilton, said he was 'modest about his poetry, and sometimes thought it too small to be worthwhile. But over and above a dry wit and fancy, he had an exquisite feeling for words, meticulous but, like himself, without affectation. In his own way he was unrivalled.'
