The condition Buber calls the "eclipse of God" is the reality that modern life and the teachings of many scholars have in many ways destroyed the opportunity for intimacy with an eternal, ever-present, Thou, or God. Based in part on a series of lectures he gave in the United States in 1951, this bo

Eclipse of God: Studies in the Relation Between Religion and Philosophy

BUBER, Martin

Martin Buber, scholar, philosopher, theologian, and Bible translator, is now considered one of the great thinkers and spiritual authorities of the 20th century. As a work of his late maturity, Moses offers the possibility to review Buber's longstanding concern with Scripture. It is in this book that Buber's methodological presuppositions about biblical language and stylistics, and his views on the enduring value of the Bible's religious teachings, come to clear expression.

Ecological Enlightenment: Essays on the Politics of the Risk Society

Beck examines the politics of the risk society. He starts from the assumption that the ecological issue, considered politically and sociologically, is a systematic, legalized violation of fundamental civil rights and, from this position, adduces that the ecological conflict, politically speaking, is the successor to the industrial conflict.One of his central concerns is to illustrate just how the establishment, but expressing as much concern over the environmental issues as the radical groups who first raised them, has endeavored to take over the debate and then effectively stifled it. Beck argues that the vested interests have developed a strategy of avoiding discussion of accountability by bringing mega-risks to the foreground so that containable risks are hidden in their shadow. He concludes by arguing that only by bringing the discussion back to the accountability issue as informed by social sciences can the political initiative be wrested back from the vested interests.

Conversations With French Philosophers

The volume consists of interviews with eight contemporary French philosophers. The main issue of discussion is how contemporary French philosophy is received in Germany, particularly by thinkers such as Jürgen Habermas, who tend to characterize the French as "irrationalist." The charge of irrationalism is provoked by two aspects of contemporary French though: its preoccupation with the texts of Nietzsche and Heidegger (both of whom are tainted by an association with the National Socialism), and the tendency to "aestheticize" philosophy by dissolving discursive identities into radical pluralities. The charge against the French is answered directly by the the theorists interviewed here. They point out that the non-rational is not necessarily "irrational," and that the non-rational is discovered when reason seeks its own grounds or limits. The emergence of the non-rational in philosophy is thus a consequence of reason itself, whose destiny, as Kant says, is to find limit and definition in its other.The interviews in this volume are accessible to readers at all levels. They are particularly helpful in clarifying some of the least understood aspects of French thought, and do so in a manner that is simple, direct, and jargon-free. The book will be especially valuable to those interested in philosophy, literary theory, aesthetics, political theory, and sociology.

Reference

Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) is one of the most original and seminal thinkers of the twentieth century. Rich in ideas, vast in scope, far-ranging and complex, his work is distributed over a large corpus of writing. In fact, it is just the very size and the range of his thought that have tended to make Jaspers inaccessible. The editors of this volume set out to provide a guided introduction to Jaspers through a systematic organisation of selections from the whole body of his writing. The volume aims to convey an accurate presentation of the content and movement of Jaspers' philosophising and to provide insights into the wide range of his philosophical achievements. The editors provide comments and information on each of the seventy-four selections to help set each piece within the context of the whole of Jaspers' work. This is an invaluable introduction to Karl Jaspers' work for the student and the critical reader.

Philosophy

Here, Professor Burbidge tries to do justice to all aspects of Hegel's dense prose. Eight chapters from The Science of Logic are analyzed, to show the systematic development of his thought. The study also relates the Logic to the other major texts by Hegel.

On Hegel's Logic: Fragments of a Commentary

John W. Burbidge

In The German Public and the Persecution of the Jews, editor Joerg Wollenberg examines the painful question of the extent to which the German public was aware of Nazi persecution of the Jews. By weaving together eyewitness reports of Reichskristallnacht, this "night of arson, terror, and destruction" of November 9, 1938, with interpretive essays by contemporary scholars, he constructs an eerie insider look at a gruesome event.Written in stark, almost conversational tones, the eyewitness testimony of Jews, half-Jews, and non-Jews is both moving and horrifying. The first-person narratives of the non-Jews document how impossible it was not to know what was happening on Reichskristallnacht and how painful it is years later to deal with repression and denial. The victims whose accounts are included here struggle with the subjectivity of their childhood memories, filling gaps with adult verification and continuing to agonize about distrust of their record.The text is arranged in two parts: first the eyewitness accounts from Nuremberg of the events of November 1938; then a section containing analyses of policies, behavior, and events as they were directed at the Jews during the Third Reich.
