Development Policy: An Introduction to Objectives and Results by Joachim Betz
English | EPUB | 2022 | 213 Pages | ISBN : 3658350105 | 11.4 MB
Developing countries have made rapid but highly varied progress since the 1990s. So much so that the boundaries to the traditional industrialized countries have become partially blurred. On the other hand, there are a number of mostly fragile states that have not succeeded in doing so, or have only rudimentarily succeeded. Talk of one "Third World" and common development problems thus explains little. Instead, development has become a requirement for all states, which this textbook breaks down and assesses according to key development goals.

In the eyes of both contemporaries and historians, the United States became an empire in 1898. By taking possession of Cuba and the Philippines, the nation seemed to have reached a watershed moment in its rise to power―spurring arguments over whether it should be a colonial power at all. However, the questions that emerged in the wake of 1898 built on long-standing and far-reaching debates over America's place in the world.

Darina Staudt, "Der eine und einzige Gott: Monotheistische Formeln im Urchristentum und ihre Vorgeschichte bei Griechen und Juden"
English | 2011 | pages: 348 | ISBN: 3525550154 | PDF | 2,2 mb
English summary: This volume focuses on the question of Monotheism, particularly on the semantic analysis of Hebrew and Greek formulas. It follows the beginnings of the monotheistic thinking outside Judaism, starting with Presocratics, Plato and the Stoics, writers and rhetoricianss like Cicero, Epictet, Plutarch and Aristides, and ending in the Roman Period. Various texts, inscriptions, hymns are analyzed in order to demonstrate the traces of pagan monotheism. The second section concentrates on the usage of monotheistic formulas and expressions in the Old Testament and in the Jewish literature of the Hellenistic period, including the writings of Philo and Flavius Josephus. In the third part, the usage of these specific formulas in the New Testament and by the Church fathers is explored. This section also deals with the question of how it was possible that Christianity, with its inherited monotheistic belief, deified Jesus Christ and put him alongside the Father. It concentrates on the usage of such formulas in the early church, whether they indicate interest in the nations or rather represent traditional patterns. The thesis as a whole proves that such formulas were not just private witness but finally had a strong impact on the structure of the early church. German text. German description: Die vorgelegte Untersuchung reiht sich in die vielen Arbeiten uber Fragen des Monotheismus ein und nimmt die sprachliche Analyse hebraischer und griechischer Sprachformeln in den Focus. Sie verfolgt die wenig beachteten Anfange monotheistischen Denkens ausserhalb des Judentums, beginnend bei den Vorsokratikern, Platon und den Stoikern uber Epiktet, Plinius d.A., Plutarch und Aristides bis ins ausgehende romische Reich. Hymnen, Prosatexte und Inschriften werden als Zeugen des paganen Monotheismus herangezogen. In einem zweiten Kapitel wird der Gebrauch monotheistischer Sprachformeln im Alten Testament und den judischen Schriften der hellenistisch-romischen Zeit untersucht, einschliesslich des ausgiebigen Gebrauchs bei Philo von Alexandrien und dem eher zuruckhaltenden bei Flavius Josephus. In einem dritten Kapitel wird die Verwendung dieser Formeln im Neuen Testament und bei den apostolischen Vatern unter der Fragestellung fortgesetzt, wie es moglich war, dass die fruhe Christenheit mit einem ererbten monotheistischen Bekenntnis den Menschen Jesus Christus als gottliche Grosse integrieren und als aSohn neben den aVater setzen konnte. Die Untersuchung geht auch der Frage nach, welche religionspolitische Folgen der Gebrauch einer bestimmten Formelsprache zeigt, ob sie vorsichtige Offnung der judischen Gemeinschaft zur hellenistischen Welt oder schroffe Ablehnung signalisiert, oder welche Formulierungen Apostel Paulus ubernimmt und welche er abweist. Die Arbeit, die zahlreiche Bedeutungsvarianten dieser Formeln aufdeckt, zeigt, dass diese Begriffe nicht nur personliche Bekenntnisse waren, sondern Auswirkung auf die normativen Grundlagen der fruhen Kirche hatten.
Demography Through Problems by Nathan Keyfitz
English | PDF | 1984 | 149 Pages | ISBN : 0387908366 | 9.5 MB
The book that follows is an experiment in the teaching of population theory and analysis. A sequence of problems where each is a self-contained puzzle, and the successful solution of each which puts the student in a position to tackle the next, is a means of securing the active participation of the learner and so the mastery of a technical subject. How far our questions are the exciting puzzles at which we aimed, and how far the sequence constitutes a rounded course in demography, must be left to the user to judge.
Piotrek Swiatkowski, "Deleuze and Desire: Analysis of "The Logic of Sense" "
English | ISBN: 9462700311 | 2015 | 336 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The engagement of Gilles Deleuze with psychoanalysis has led to the development of a remarkable and highly influential theory about human desire. The most systematic account of this theory, crucial for anyone interested in the work of Deleuze and Félix Guattari, can be found in the discussion of the dynamic genesis of sense, a pivotal part of Deleuze's The Logic of Sense. In Deleuze and Desire Piotrek Swiatkowski picks up the challenge to provide a commentary on this text. Swiatkowski makes use of a broad range of examples, from psychoanalytic case studies to art, literature, and film, and systematically analyzes in an accessible and clear way the impact of the work of psychoanalysts such as Melanie Klein on Deleuze.
