Abstract

A. G. Long presents a new account of the importance of conversation in Plato's philosophy. He provides close studies of eight dialogues, including some of Plato's most famous works and traces the emergence of internal dialogue or self-questioning as an alternative to the Socratic conversation from which Plato starts.

Abstract

From the Publisher: Many native North American cultures have origins that predate Confucius, who lived five hundred years before the birth of Christ. For generations the people of these traditions have thrived under conditions that many view as harsh if not hostile. Through their close association with nature, members of native communities have created complex systems for cooperating with one another and living within their environments. Learning Native Wisdom: What Traditional Cultures Teach Us about Subsistence, Sustainability, and Spirituality explains how to nurture a society by closely observing the traditions of various native cultures. Author Gary Holthaus explores the need to live sustainably, in harmony with the land, in order to preserve our cultures, communities, and humankind itself. Holthaus asserts that all cultures are subsistence cultures: urban or rural, all humans depend on the land and its provisions for survival. Humankind faces a convergence of forces: climate change, oil depletion, loss of water, loss of topsoil, and species die-off of proportions that exceed those of the past 65 million years. In Learning Native Wisdom, Holthaus shows that any path to sustainability includes elements of both subsistence and spirituality. The book offers a way to confront potential perils and create a better future.

Abstract

La poussée alternative qui s'exprime avec force autour de 1900 dans le cadre des mouvements de la réforme de la vie (Lebensreform) est marquée par la recherche d'une adéquation de l'homme à son environnement et s'affirme comme réforme de soi (Selbstreform) au sein d'une communauté repensée, notamment sur le plan économique. Elle visait ainsi à ouvrir une "troisième voie", transcendant à la fois le système capitaliste et le modèle socialiste, oscillant entre "capitalisme utopique" et "social-libéralisme".L'écho de ce "grand recommencement" auquel aspiraient les réformateurs de la vie semble avoir résonné durablement au sein du paysage protestataire qui cherche aujourd'hui encore à "défaire le développement pour refaire le monde" (slogan du Forum social de Porto Alegre, 2002). L'altermondialisme qui émerge autour de 2000 et que l'on peut saisir comme désir utopique d'un autre monde et de facto d'une "autre mondialisation" ne fait pas exception.Ce type de mobilisation dont le déploiement se jouerait des frontières peut être saisi comme la riposte d'une société civile transnationale à la globalisation marchande. Si "plus de liens, moins de biens" doit contribuer à une réévaluation tant de l'individu que de son environnement naturel, social et économique, l'altermondialisme se situe effectivement dans le sillage des idéaux issus de la Lebensreform.Cet ouvrage collectif propose d'aborder les deux mouvements "en résonance", malgré le contexte fort différent qui en a vu l'émergence et le changement d'échelle impliqué.

Abstract

In the 1970s, a multifaceted alternative scene developed in West Germany. At the core of this leftist scene was a struggle for feelings in a capitalist world that seemed to be devoid of any emotions. Joachim C. Häberlen offers here a vivid account of these emotional politics. The book discusses critiques of rationality and celebrations of insanity as an alternative. It explores why capitalism made people feel afraid and modern cities made people feel lonely. Readers are taken to consciousness raising groups, nude swimming at alternative vacation camps, and into the squatted houses of the early 1980s. Häberlen draws on a kaleidoscope of different voices to explore how West Germans became more concerned with their selves, their feelings, and their bodies. By investigating how leftists tried to transform themselves through emotional practices, Häberlen gives us a fresh perspective on a fascinating aspect of West German history.
