Abstract

This book provides a transatlantic and interdisciplinary perspective of dictatorships in the Hispanic World, focusing on the common strategies used to represent and/or protest these regimes in narrative, film, poetry, essays, theater, and visual arts. By looking at the similarities and differences of dictatorships represented in the diverse landscapes of Latin America and Spain, we hope to provide a more panoramic view of the dictatorship that moves beyond historiographical accounts of oppression and engages actively in a more broad dialectics of resistance and a politics of memory

Abstract

Die kritische Diagnose des Buches lautet: Ein Großteil der nachmetaphysischen Ethik, die heute den Ton angibt, ist innerlich defekt. Sie leidet an einem Zuviel an Säkularisierung. Jede Moral, die den Anspruch auf Universalität zu Recht erhebt, hat einen metaphysischen Horizont: das absolut Gute. Das absolut Gute ist dasjenige, was wir um seiner selbst willen anstreben. Es ist gut in allen möglichen Welten, unabhängig davon, was hier und jetzt für gut befunden wird. Gegen die zunehmende Immanenzverdichtung wird argumentiert, dass die Ethik wesenhaft auf zwei Grundpfeilern ruht. Erstens: Die transzendente Freiheit des Ichs ist eine Voraussetzung der Moral. Daher scheitern die Naturalisten, wenn sie den biologischen Menschen zugleich als ethisches Subjekt denken. Zweitens: Der Mensch ist nicht begreifbar als der Schöpfer seiner eigenen Werte. Daher muss der ethische Subjektivismus falsch sein. Gezeigt wird, wie unter dem Vorzeichen der Moderne, die auf kulturellem Gebiet relativistisch verfährt, dennoch ein visionärer Objektivismus in der Moral überlebt. Werte sind Wertpotentiale, deren Wahrheitsgehalt die Vielfalt benötigt, um sich zu offenbaren. Inhalt: Einleitung Teil A: Die Richtung des Guten I. Das Gute und das Gesollte II. Von Werten zu Normen III. Die ethische Blindheit des Naturalismus IV. Die Transzendenz des Guten V. Die Nichtkontingenz der Werte VI. Wertsachverhalte VII. Selbstevidenz und aufgeklärte Intuition VIII. Das Kriterium des Nicht-Wollen-Könnens IX. Der Kontext des guten Lebens X. Der axiologische Horizont: das Beispiel Abtreibung XI. Was wir um seiner selbst willen anstreben XII. Werte als Eröffnungspotentiale XIII. Die axiologische Richtung XIV. Die axiologische Grundtransformation Teil B: Die Kategorien des Guten XV. Autonomes Leben XVI. Schönheit: Sinnenreiz und Verklärung XVIII. Das gute Ich Teil C: XIX. Nach der Endzeit: Der Weg ist das Ziel XX. Angenommen, Jesus würde wiederkommen.

Abstract

This is the first comprehensive exploration of ancient and modern tyranny in the history of political thought. Waller R. Newell argues that modern tyranny and statecraft differ fundamentally from the classical understanding. Newell demonstrates a historical shift in emphasis from the classical thinkers' stress on the virtuous character of rulers and the need for civic education to the modern emphasis on impersonal institutions and cold-blooded political method. By diagnosing the varieties of tyranny from erotic voluptuaries like Nero, the steely determination of reforming conquerors like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar and modernizing despots such as Napoleon and Ataturk to the collectivist revolutions of the Jacobins, Bolsheviks, Nazis and Khmer Rouge, Newell shows how tyranny is every bit as dangerous to free democratic societies today as it was in the past.

Abstract

Graeco-Roman literary works, historiography, and even the reporting of rumours were couched as if they came in response to an insatiable desire by ordinary citizens to know everything about the lives of their leaders, and to hold them to account, at some level, for their abuse of constitutional powers for personal ends. Ancient writers were equally fascinated with how these same individuals used deceit as a powerful tool to disguise private and public reality. The chapters in this collection examine the themes of despotism and deceit from both historical and literary perspectives, over a range of historical periods including classical Athens, the Hellenistic kingdoms, late republican and early imperial Rome, late antiquity, and Byzantium.
