Wie entwickelt sich ein ich-loses Selbstgefühl? Wie vollzieht sich der Schritt zum Selbstbewusstsein? Und wie wird aus einer emotionalen Reaktion ein Werturteil? Eva-Maria Engelen beschreibt die Übergänge zwischen verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen des Geistigen. So skizzieren die vier Kapitel des Bandes dessen Genealogie als Prozess, der vom Lebendigen zum Bewusstsein führt. Die Argumentation integriert Erkenntnisse aus der Philosophie der Emotionen ebenso wie Elemente aus der Theorie der Bedeutung und der Philosophie des Geistes. Einen roten Faden bildet dabei die Frage nach der Rolle der Sprache für die Entwicklung der Erscheinungsformen des Geistigen. Aus dieser Perspektive gelingt es auch, den Übergang von der Kognition der Tiere zu der des Menschen ansatzweise darzustellen. Ebenfalls als produktiv erweist sich das Konzept des Intentionalen, das eng mit dem Begriffsvermögen verwoben ist und sich in Erleben, Wahrnehmen und sprachlichem Bezugnehmen aufzeigen lässt. Die Genealogie des Geistigen wird schließlich um eine des Normativen erweitert, wenn die Autorin die Genese von Werturteilen nachzeichnet. Die Studien zu beiden Genealogien ordnet sie innerhalb der Debatte zum Für und Wider des Naturalismus ein.

"Nancy Hill and Alexis Redding contest the accusation that today's young people are coddled and immature. Unearthing studies of college students five decades ago, the authors show that the behaviors now decried as markers of stalled development have long been typical of adolescents. Hill and Redding's advice for adults? Judge less, nurture more"--

In this rare firsthand account, Lorna Rhodes takes us into a hidden world that lies at the heart of the maximum security prison. Focusing on the "supermaximums"-and the mental health units that complement them-Rhodes conveys the internal contradictions of a system mandated to both punish and treat. Her often harrowing, sometimes poignant, exploration of maximum security confinement includes vivid testimony from prisoners and prison workers, describes routines and practices inside prison walls, and takes a hard look at the prison industry. More than an exposé, Total Confinement is a theoretically sophisticated meditation on what incarceration tells us about who we are as a society. Rhodes tackles difficult questions about the extreme conditions of confinement, the treatment of the mentally ill in prisons, and an ever-advancing technology of isolation and surveillance. Using her superb interview skills and powers of observation, she documents how prisoners, workers, and administrators all struggle to retain dignity and a sense of self within maximum security institutions. In settings that place in question the very humanity of those who live and work in them, Rhodes discovers complex interactions-from the violent to the tender-among prisoners and staff. Total Confinement offers an indispensable close-up of the implications of our dependence on prisons to solve long-standing problems of crime and injustice in the United States.
