Abstract

Mit der geistesgeschichtlichen Biographie des lutherischen Alchemisten und Hofpfalzgrafen Michael Maier legt der Autor eine Studie über die westliche Esoterik im allgemeinen und über die Alchemie und die Rosenkreutzer im besonderen vor. The author presents with this intellectual biography of the Lutheran alchemist Count Michael Maier an academic study of western esotericism in general and to the study of alchemy and rosicrucianism in particular. The author charts the development of Maier's Hermetic worldview in the context of his service at the courts of Emperor Rudolf II and Moritz of Hessen-Kassel. The problem of the nature of early Rosicrucianism is addressed in detail with reference to Maier's role in the promotion of this "serious jest" in the years immediately prior to the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War. The work is set in the context of ongoing debates concerning the nature of early modern alchemy and its role in the history of Western esotericism.

Abstract

Que devient le regard quand la lumière s'absente ? Que voit-on dans l'ombre ? Que voit-on de l'ombre ? Dans quelle mesure l'ombre affecte-t-elle la visibilité du monde et son intelligibilité ? Puisant aux sources de la philosophie, de la mystique, de l'histoire de l'art, de la littérature et du cinéma, Max Milner explore les rapports complexes du clair et de l'obscur. De Platon à Diderot, du Caravage à Goya, de Virgile à Blanchot... autant d'arrêts sur image propices à une réflexion sur la fascination qu'exerce l'ombre, autant d'incitations à faire contrepoids à la" surexposition " d'un monde où règne, souvent aux dépens de la vérité et de la profondeur, une tyrannie du visible. Rendre à l'image sa part d'ombre, scruter les voies qui conduisent de l'obscur à l'illimité et au transcendant, explorer les envers d'une réalité dont la face lumineuse ne contient pas tous les secrets, tel a été le but des penseurs et des artistes dont il est question dans ce livre.

Abstract

The Croix de Feu and its successor the Parti Social Français stood at the centre of political conflict in the turbulent final years of the French Third Republic. Membership peaked at 750,000 in 1937, and at the time the movement was widely regarded as the counterpart of fascism in Germany and Italy. However, only recently has the view that fascism also has roots in France become a serious topic for debate. From Liberalism to Fascism is based largely on archival research, and shows that contemporary perceptions of the Croix de Feu and the PSF as fascist were in fact correct. Dr Passmore places French fascism in the wider context of the history of French conservatism through a micro-study of a crisis of the liberal-conservative tradition in Lyon. This 1997 book was the first to place the emergence of French fascism in the wider political and social context. In the process, received views of the nature of French society and politics are contested.

Abstract

Ask the Grey Sisters: Sault Ste. Marie and the General Hospital, 1898-1998 tells the story of the creation and one-hundred-year history of the Sault Ste. Marie General Hospital. At a time when Canada's healthcare system is at a crossroads and we are asked to make crucial decisions for its future, it is intriguing and enlightening to look at the colourful past of a typical community hospital. Throughout the 1890s, Sault Ste. Marie was a town in search of a hospital. Its glory days at the centre of the fur-trade route were long gone and the Sault was in the process of becoming a
