˜Aœ study of Nietzsche

Stern, Joseph Peter
"Whether we are to regard Friedrich Nietzsche as a philosopher, a cultural critic, and 'amoralist' or a pre-fascist ideologist, it is certain that his work is one of the main sources of twentieth-century western thought. Formulations such as 'God is dead' or 'the world is the product of the will to power and nothing else besides', and Nietzsche's belief that true value lies in a morality of strenuousness have become part of the experience of our age. His aim is to unmask what he considered the intellectual self-deception of his time and to create a new rejuvenating mythology. His assault on the abstraction and over-systematization of traditional philosophy resulted in a body of writing - much of it published posthumously - which is unsystematic and often contradictory, yet all unmistakably characterized by his philosophical imaginativeness. J. P. Stern's new study offers a careful exegesis of what Nietzsche said and a critical assessment of its importance. In a series of analyses of Nietzsche's 'philosophical experiments' Professor Stern unwinds the many strands of the work - the moral-existential, the religious, the linguistic, the aesthetic - and shows how they all interweave in a single, powerful philosophical enterprise: The enhancement of man in Nietzsche's time and ours. The means to this end Nietzsche saw as the pursuit of truth in all its uncompromising harshness and essential relativity. Stern also considers the political implications of the writings in the light of later developments in German history; he includes a detailed survey of Nietzsche's life; and he contrasts Nietzsche's achievement with that of Marx and Freud as the two thinkers who were to exercise a comparable influence in the twentieth century. This is the only full-scale study of Nietzsche's philosophy which takes issue with the language and literary forms in which his writings are cast. It will provide an exhilarating introduction for those who are unfamiliar with or only beginning to explore the writings of this most vibrant and paradoxical of writers. In addition the book will offer new insights for those who find in the work of Nietzsche an enduring source of fascination and stimulation." -- Book jacket.

Humane politics and methods of inquiry

Pool, Ithiel de Sola
Ithiel de Sola Pool was a distinguished scholar of the political process, and one of the most original thinkers in the development of an integrated social science. This volume focuses upon his contributions to the development of research methods that deepen our understanding of human behaviour. The book is divided into five parts treating the analysis of communications, computer simulation, forecasting, network theory, and the social sciences in political contexts. The first part considers the problems and possibilities of analysis raised by the unprecedented quantity of data made available by widespread and improved communications technology; what should be counted and how should inferences be made. Part two explores computer simulation in the study of presidential election patterns and how it can provide in-depth analyses of crisis situations in history. Part three focuses on strategies for predicting the future of international politics and methods to forecast the impacts of new communications technologies, while part four offers a rigorous analysis of domestic and global contact networks and the so-called "small world" phenomenon. Part five is concerned with external challenges to the use of social science to create more humane politics, including the question of value neutrality, ideology, "deconstructive" critical theory, and threats by government to the health of universities. In a concluding essay Lloyd Etheredge draws upon Pool's work to discuss several new ways in which the methods treated in this volume can be applied to contemporary social change.

An American urban poet with an informal style that is direct and often colloquial, he captures the essence of life in anxiety-ridden, overstimulating New York: "If you walk by the river, Manhattan / is like a book, the pages turn, / the words march down those pages. / Look back to the lights along the river. / Wait for the dark, wait for the city to come on, / windows and bridges blazing, / Whatever you needed was there, wasn't it?" With haunting insistence Shapiro, former editor of the New York Times Book Review , explores his ambivalence, pain and fascination regarding his Jewish lineage, childhood, women and marriage, fatherhood, and mortality: "I was conceived on the night / of my sister's funeral. / . . . This is family history. / What is unclear is my father's role. / Was the night of my sister's funeral / a suitable time for making love? / Did they both think that? / Or was my father excited by my mother's grief? / Though I honor my mother and father, / I want to ask a few more questions." He describes domestic life candidly and with considerable humor and humility, but his words are serious and linger. The length of the poems varies; many are spontaneous snippets of thought, others are longer, carefully crafted and, richer in texture and content, offer more of Shapiro's seasoned insight and tenacity of spirit. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Meticulous and deceptively simple, Shapiro's poems embody craft and concept. Had William Carlos Williams been Jewish, fought in World War II, and later lived in New York City, he might well have written poems like these. Though Shapiro offers a unique exploration of the American Jewish identity, what stands out in this collection are the love poems: "I believe we came together/ Out of ignorance not love." Shapiro's career in publishing (including editorship of The New York Times Book Review from 1975 to 1983) has overshadowed his poetry, but one comes away from this collection wishing it had inclu

Robert le diable

Meyerbeer, Giacomo
Giacomo Meyerbeer, one of the most important and influential opera composers of the nineteenth century, enjoyed a fame during his lifetime hardly rivalled by any of his contemporaries. This ten volume set provides in one collection all the operatic texts set by Meyerbeer in his career. The texts offer the most complete versions available. Each libretto is translated into modern English by Richard Arsenty; and each work is introduced by Robert Letellier. In this comprehensive edition of Meyerbeer's libretti, the original text and its translation are placed on facing pages for ease of use. The eleventh volume presents the fourth of Meyerbeerâ (TM)s grands opÃ(c)ras, and his final work. By 1860 long-imposed labor had started to tell upon the composerâ (TM)s health: he knew that he must concentrate on the â oenavigator projectâ which he had started twenty years earlier if he intended to finish it. Meyerbeer died on 2 May 1864, the day after the completion of the copying of the full score of this his last opera, Vasco da Gama. Minna Meyerbeer and CÃ(c)sar-Victor Perrin, the director of the OpÃ(c)ra, entrusted the editing of a performing edition to the famous Belgian musicologist François-Joseph FÃ(c)tis, while the libretto was revised by MÃ(c)lesville. The original title of Lâ (TM)Africaine was restored out of deference to public expectation. Much of the music and action was suppressed, in spite of the strain this inflicted on the internal logic of the story. While L'Africaine is not lacking in the grandeur of statement and stirring climaxes for which the composer was so famous, there is a new intimacy, a new intensity of melancholic lyricism. Like its famous predecessors, it is basically an historical work, derived from the period of sixteenth-century Renaissance. The account of Vasco da Gama's voyage of discovery around the Cape of Good Hope and conquest of Calicut (1497-98) is subjected to a fictional treatment that raises many interesting issues. The framework is historical, but most of the characters and course of action are not; in fact the end of the opera, in the suicide of the heroine, suddenly leaves the terra firma of reality, and transports us into the mystical realms of the spirit. It is this mixture of modes that is central to the dramaturgy of L'Africaine, a confusion of history and fairytale, ancient certainties and challenging discoveries, in the creation of a new mythology. There is also originality in formal developments, with the great tenor scene in act 4 providing a new malleability in handling the constraints of shape and genre: recitative, arioso and cabaletta have a fluent integration in trying to explore the text more pointedly. Lâ (TM)Africaine was produced on 28 April 1865, a great posthumous tribute to its famous creators. The Ship Scene, the exotic Indian act, and the Scene of the Manchineel Tree exerted a fascination on audiences, and elicited new praise. The work full of melodic beauty and rapturous lyricism, began a triumphal progress through the world, beginning with the big stages of London and Berlin.

Greed as idolatry: the origin and meaning of a Pauline metaphor

Rosner, Brian S.
What are the origin and meaning of the words "greed is idolatry" found in Ephesians 5:5 and Colossians 3:5? In what sense are the greedy guilty of idolatry? Many different answers have been given to this question throughout the history of interpretation. In fact, a consensus exists on only one score - that the expression serves to vilify greed. Brian Rosner takes on the challenge of interpretation by tackling the phrase as a metaphor, structuring his argument around an intriguing comparison to mountain climbing. From this vantage point, he offers a history of interpretation of the phrase, including a study of the origin of the concept of idolatrous greed in biblical and Jewish sources. Rosner concludes that the comparison of greed with idolatry teaches that to desire to acquire and keep for oneself more money and material things is an attack on God's exclusive right to human love, trust, and obedience. With this work comes an understanding of familiar terms - "greed," "idolatry," and even "God"--Challenging both the church as a whole and individual believers to consider the far-ranging implications of our materialistic world. --From publisher's description.

Catbird: the ballad of Barbi Prim

Ostfeld, Barbara J.
"In Catbird: The Ballad of Barbi Prim, the world meets an insightful, opinionated eight-year-old who's already taken a few steps toward becoming a pioneer--but also a shadow of her quirky self. Although she's corroded--sometimes literally--by a toxic but familiar social atmosphere, her love of singing propels her to become the first ordained woman cantor in 3,000 years of Jewish history. A family crisis exposes old and enduring wounds, but she begins to rescue herself--by diligently going to therapy--and embarks on an imperfect but perpetual metamorphosis, becoming the well-coiffed heroine of her own story. Barbara Ostfeld shows us that we are all brave pioneers--at becoming our true selves." -- Amazon.com.

Desert memories: journeys through the Chilean North

Dorfman, Ariel
El Norte Grande of Chile is the world's driest desert, a vast, barren expanse where a person can live an entire lifetime without ever feeling a single drop of rain, where rivers vanish into the sands and trees are all but unknown. But this forbidding landscape has many stories to tell an observant, inquisitive traveler. Someone like Ariel Dorfman. Renowned as a poet, essayist, novelist, and playwright, he combines eloquence, passion, and personal experience with a sure sense of place and a keen eye for the telling detail that brings history to life -- for this account of his journey through the desert is also a chronicle of modern Chile. Like an archaeologist, he sifts through shards of memory to recreate a world that no longer exists but still casts a long shadow over his native land. Ghosts are at the heart of his tale, from the ruined boomtowns where great nitrate fortunes were built to the seaside prison where Dorfman's old friend Freddy Taberna spent his last night before being executed in 1973 after the overthrow of Salvador Allende's government. In these pages, long-abandoned mining communities are summoned up in their glory days, when the mansions of mineral millionaires were built on the punishing labor of workers forever in hock to the company store. Nor are these the only ghosts. In this sweeping book, Dorfman also examines the oldest mummies in the world, visits an observatory at the top of the world that scans the light from long-dead stars, and sifts through the remains of indigenous villages buried under tons of sand. Skillfully interweaving present and past, memoir and meditation, fascinating history and colorful family lore, Desert Memories gazes across the seeming emptiness of el Norte Grande, finds a complete and compelling world, and conjures it up with the kind of elegant simplicity that only the most sophisticated of travelers can achieve.

The Third Testament: a novel

Rehov, Pierre
Long-held secrets. Unusual events. Eerily similar coincidences or potential disaster decades in the making? Imagine Dan Brown meets Tom Clancy in a fast-paced, philosophical mystery thriller 1992... Agent Alexei Soloviev discovers Adolf Hitler's secret will in the KGB's underground archives. Thirty years later... Intelligence Services Analyst, Melany Carson, infiltrates a group of white supremacists in Pennsylvania following a series of disturbances in Islamic circles that are connected to neo-Nazi organizations. A discovery as terrifying as it is shocking forces Melany and her new companion, Jeff Cartright, a young millionaire, into danger as they search for the only person who knows what Hitler's last diabolical plan was. If they don't find Alexei, any hope of preventing disaster will be lost. From Washington to Pennsylvania and Boston to Moscow through the suffocating jungles of Sumatra and beyond, THE THIRD TESTAMENT takes readers on a breathtaking adventure that blurs the line between fiction and reality and raises questions about the potential reincarnation of the Third Reich. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************Pierre Rehov's The Third Testament: A shocking and terrifying discovery that could change the course of history is a thriller in every sense of the word. It's a fast-paced, briskly plotted, twist-laden adventure spanning from rural Pennsylvania to Moscow to Indonesia, and imagining a scenario for international bloodshed and terror that sheds light on some commonly ignored but crucially important truths about the contemporary world. (Robert Spencer - PJ Media) Beyond its thriller dimension, which makes it a real "page-turner", a book that you can't let go once opened, "The Third Testament" evokes this natural union between Nazism and Islamism around a breathtaking chase against a background of current events and historical facts. The construction of the book is of a very high level, the reading particularly limpid and rhythmic. Drop everything and hurry to acquire it. This novel is incredible, way beyond Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" (Pamela Geller's report) Pierre Rehov's latest novel, "The Third Testament" is a well-written, fast reading voyage into an exciting and frightening world of violence and intrigue.While traveling throughout the US, Russia and Sumatra searching for answers to questions that Agent Alexei Soloview discovered in Hitler's Will thirty years earlier, Intelligence Services Analyst Melany Carson and her friend Jeff find themselves in terrifying life threatening situations.The answers to the questions, was there a will, and if so, what was prophesied and is that prophesy becoming a reality today must be left to the reader. I recommend the book, it's a great read. (Judith Nusbaum - Jpost) Pierre Rehov brings the knowledge and excitement of his exceptional documentaries on terrorism, combined with the experience from his bestselling European novels to bring the reader on a thrilling journey. You will NOT be able to put it down! One thing I can say for sure: I wait with bated breath for the movie! (Audrey Russo-Real Talk With Audrey Russo)

The History of May Day

Alexander Trachtenberg
Written by Alexander Trachtenberg in 1935, The History of May Day is an invaluable asset for any Marxist-Leninist student. In this classic pamphlet Alexander Trachtenberg delivers a concise history of the origins of May Day. The origin of May Day is indissolubly bound up with the struggle for the shorter workday--a demand of major political significance for the working class. This struggle is manifest almost from the beginning of the factory system in the United States. Although the demand for higher wages appears to be the most prevalent cause for the early strikes in this country, the question of shorter hours and the right to organize were always kept in the foreground when workers formulated their demands against the bosses and the government. As exploitation was becoming intensified and workers were feeling more and more the strain of inhumanly long working hours, the demand for an appreciable reduction of hours became more pronounced.

British policy and the refugees, 1933-1941

Kapp, Yvonne
This book was written in 1940, but never published. The authors had held, until May 1940, responsible positions in the Czech Refugee Trust Fund, which brought political refugees (including large numbers of communists) to Britain. In May 1940 they were dismissed from their posts by the Home Office due to their political affiliations. The introduction (pp. ix-xxvi) relates the history of the authors and their book, which is a critique of British prewar and wartime immigration policy. 65,000 refugees from Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia immigrated to Britain in 1933-39; 90% of them were "racial refugees" - i.e. Jews or part-Jews. Describes the events that impelled these people to leave the Reich. Dwells on the hardships and social discrimination which confronted the refugees in Britain both before and during the war. In April 1940 an internment campaign was launched; many refugees were interned in camps in the country or in the dominions. Discusses the legal aspects of the reception of refugees in Britain. Compares the ordeals of refugees in Britain with those in France, where the situation was much worse.
