Politische Ideen und politische Bildung (Politische Bildung)
by Ingo JuchlerDieses Buch hat die Beobachtung zum Ausgangspunkt, dass politische Ideen seit jeher das politische Denken und die politische Praxis bestimmen. Sie sind mit dem Politischen verwoben, sei es offensichtlich, implizit oder kaschiert. Doch wie steht es um das Verhältnis politischer Ideen und politischer Bildung? Als Unterrichtsgegenstände stehen sie in den schulischen Curricula. In den einschlägigen Nachschlagewerken der politischen Bildung finden politische Ideen allenfalls indirekt Beachtung. In den Beiträgen des Sammelbandes wird das Verhältnis politischer Ideen und politischer Bildung in seinen unterschiedlichen Dimensionen reflektiert.

Politische Partizipation: Eine Einführung in Theorie und Empirie (Elemente der Politik)
by Oscar W. GabrielPolitische Partizipation ist ein wichtiges Element der Demokratie. Sie legitimiert politische Herrschaft und verbindet die Regierenden und Regierten miteinander. Deshalb beschäftigt sich die empirische Partizipationsforschung schon seit langem mit der Frage, wer sich in welcher Form, aus welchen Gründen und mit welchen Folgen politisch engagiert. Das Lehrbuch gibt einen Überblick über Ausmaß, Formen und Bestimmungsfaktoren politischer Partizipation in Deutschland und führt in die theoretischen und methodischen Grundlagen der empirischen Partizipationsforschung ein.
Politische Persönlichkeiten und ihre weltpolitische Gestaltung
by Xuewu Gu Hendrik W. OhnesorgeDer Sammelband widmet sich der Frage nach dem Einfluss politischer Persönlichkeiten auf weltpolitische Entscheidungen in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Dazu werden zu Beginn des Bandes diskutierte Grundannahmen über die Einflussmöglichkeiten einzelner Persönlichkeiten mit Hilfe von detaillierten Fallstudien untersucht und so ein Zusammenhang zwischen Persönlichkeit und Politik an ausgewählten Beispielen und in entscheidenden Situationen der Weltgeschichte herausgearbeitet. Der Band versteht sich damit als ein Beitrag zum lange vernachlässigten personenbezogenen Ansatz der Politikwissenschaft.
Politische Streitfragen: Band 6: Die Zuspitzung internationaler und gesellschaftspolitischer Konflikte
by Egbert JahnIn diesem Buch geht es um die Zuspitzung internationaler Konflikte wie um die Ukraine, Bergkarabach und Palästina sowie um Putins Fehlinterpretation der national-territorialen Struktur der Sowjetunion, außerdem um die Entschärfung des Konflikts um Südtirol und um innenpolitische Konflikte wie die Demokratisierungsversuche im ehemals kommunistischen Europa und die Polarisierung der politischen Öffentlichkeit in westlichen Demokratien. Dabei kommen die Corona-Politik, die Kampagnen gegen den Rassismus, die Migrationspolitik seit 2015, die Neuinterpretation von "linker" und "rechter" Politik, Einschränkungen der Meinungsfreiheit und die gegenwärtige Deutung der Frankfurter Nationalversammlung von 1848/49 zur Sprache.
Politischer Extremismus: Eine Einführung (Elemente der Politik)
by Hans-Gerd JaschkeModerner politischer Extremismus hat viele Facetten: Linke und rechte Varianten, Islamismus, Fundamentalismus und Terrorismus. Der einführende Überblick informiert über diese Begriffe und ihre Hintergründe, über gegenwärtige Szenarien und mögliche künftige Entwicklungen. Auch die aktuelle sozialwissenschaftliche Debatte wird einbezogen. Alle Formen des politischen Extremismus sind Angriffe auf die liberale Verfassungs- und Gesellschaftsordnung. Im Mittelpunkt der Erklärung steht die Abspaltung der politischen Extremismen aus der historischen Konstellation von Liberalismus, Konservatismus und Sozialismus, wie sie sich im 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhundert entwickelt hat. Bei der Bekämpfung des Extremismus kann es nicht darum gehen, ihn zu beseitigen, sondern darum, ihn möglichst effektiv einzudämmen.
Polizei und Protest in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Geschichte und Ethik der Polizei und öffentlichen Verwaltung)
by Sabine MeckingDie Polizei als Vertreterin des staatlichen Gewaltmonopols gilt als Garantin für die öffentliche Sicherheit und Ordnung im Inneren eines Staates. Von jeher gehört damit das staatliche Protest-Management zu den zentralen Aufgaben der Polizei. Die Art und Weise, wie die Polizei hierbei vorgeht und der Bevölkerung gegenübertritt, gibt Einblicke in den inneren Zustand der Gesellschaft, die politische Verfasstheit und die Herrschaftsordnung des Landes. Der Blick auf die 70-jährige Geschichte der Bundesrepublik offenbart, dass sich sowohl die Inhalte und Formen des öffentlichen Protests als auch der polizeiliche Umgang damit mehrfach verändert haben. Polizeiliche und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen, obgleich aufeinander bezogen, verlaufen dabei jedoch nicht selten versetzt und in unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten.Prof. Dr. Sabine Mecking lehrt Landes- und Zeitgeschichte an der Philipps-Universität Marburg.
Polygamy, Women, and Higher Education: Life After Mormon Fundamentalism
by Laura ParsonThis volume explores the life stories of women who were former members of Mormon fundamentalist polygamous societies, from their own perspectives, to seek insight into their readiness for higher education settings. In order to support all learners in higher education, it is important to understand the unique needs of women students who have non-traditional formal schooling experiences and/or have come from restrictive or patriarchal cultures. This book helps further the discourse by providing recommendations for inclusive programs that consider how to develop elements of self-concept, empowerment, and motivation necessary for higher education success—academically and beyond.
Polyphonic Minds: Music of the Hemispheres
by Peter PesicPolyphony -- the interweaving of simultaneous sounds -- is a crucial aspect of music that has deep implications for how we understand the mind. In Polyphonic Minds, Peter Pesic examines the history and significance of "polyphonicity" -- of "many-voicedness" -- in human experience. Pesic presents the emergence of Western polyphony, its flowering, its horizons, and the perspective it offers on our own polyphonic brains. When we listen to polyphonic music, how is it that we can hear several different things at once? How does a single mind experience those things as a unity (a motet, a fugue) rather than an incoherent jumble? Pesic argues that polyphony raises fundamental issues for philosophy, theology, literature, psychology, and neuroscience -- all searching for the apparent unity of consciousness in the midst of multiple simultaneous experiences. After tracing the development of polyphony in Western music from ninth-century church music through the experimental compositions of Glenn Gould and John Cage, Pesic considers the analogous activity within the brain, the polyphonic "music of the hemispheres" that shapes brain states from sleep to awakening. He discusses how neuroscientists draw on concepts from polyphony to describe the "neural orchestra" of the brain. Pesic's story begins with ancient conceptions of God's mind and ends with the polyphonic personhood of the human brain and body. An enhanced e-book edition allows the sound examples to be played by a touch.

Política
by AristòtilLa Política, tot i ser un text incomplert i poc homogeni, és l’anàlisi més realista de l’estructura sociopolítica dels estats de l’antiguitat. A la Política, Aristòtil reflexiona sobre l’organització d’una ciutat-estat, la ciutadania i la democràcia, els tipus de constitució i la naturalesa dels governants. Vol evitar que els polítics creguin que posseeixen la veritat absoluta i intentin imposar un ordre determinat fent ús de la violència. Segons el filòsof, l’home és un animal polític per naturalesa, un ésser que ha de viure i participar en l’administració de l’estat i que no es pot resignar que uns altres prenguin per ella decisions que l’afectin. L’obra és, en definitiva, una invitació a qüestionar la tasca del polític tenint en compte la naturalesa humana, la raó i l’ètica.
Política: Nuevomexicanos and American Political Incorporation, 1821–1910
by Phillip B. GonzalesPolítica offers a stunning revisionist understanding of the early political incorporation of Mexican-origin peoples into the U.S. body politic in the nineteenth century. Historical sociologist Phillip B. Gonzales reexamines the fundamental issue in New Mexico’s history, namely, the dramatic shift in national identities initiated by Nuevomexicanos when their province became ruled by the United States. Gonzales provides an insightful, rigorous, and controversial interpretation of how Nuevomexicano political competition was woven into the Democratic and Republican two-party system that emerged in the United States between the 1850s and 1912, when New Mexico became a state. Drawing on newly discovered archival and primary sources, he explores how Nuevomexicanos relied on a long tradition of political engagement and a preexisting republican disposition and practice to elaborate a dual-party political system mirroring the contours of U.S. national politics.Política is a tour de force of political history in the nineteenth-century U.S.–Mexico borderlands that reinterprets colonization, reconstructs Euro-American and Nuevomexicano relations, and recasts the prevailing historical narrative of territorial expansion and incorporation in North American imperial history. Gonzales provides critical insights into several discrete historical processes, such as U.S. racialization and citizenship, integration and marginalization, accommodation and resistance, internal colonialism, and the long struggle for political inclusion in the borderlands, shedding light on debates taking place today over Latinos and U.S. citizenship.
Ponderings II–VI: Black Notebooks, 1931–1938 (Studies in Continental Thought)
by Martin HeideggerPonderings II–VI begins the much-anticipated English translation of Martin Heidegger's "Black Notebooks." In a series of small notebooks with black covers, Heidegger confided sundry personal observations and ideas over the course of 40 years. The five notebooks in this volume were written between 1931 and 1938 and thus chronicle Heidegger's year as Rector of the University of Freiburg during the Nazi era. Published in German as volume 94 of the Complete Works, these challenging and fascinating journal entries shed light on Heidegger's philosophical development regarding his central question of what it means to be, but also on his relation to National Socialism and the revolutionary atmosphere of the 1930s in Germany. Readers previously familiar only with excerpts taken out of context may now determine for themselves whether the controversy and censure the "Black Notebooks" have received are deserved or not. This faithful translation by Richard Rojcewicz opens the texts in a way that captures their philosophical and political content while disentangling Heidegger's notoriously difficult language.
Ponderings VII–XI: Black Notebooks, 1938–1939 (Studies in Continental Thought)
by Martin HeideggerThrough these broad and sprawling notebooks, Heidegger offers fascinating opinions on Holderlin, Nietzsche, Wagner, Wittgenstein, Pascal, and many others. The importance of the Black Notebooks transcends Heidegger's relationship with National Socialism. These personal notebooks contain reflections on technology, art, Christianity, the history of philosophy, and Heidegger's attempt to move beyond that history into another beginning.
Ponderings XII–XV: Black Notebooks, 1939–1941 (Studies in Continental Thought)
by Martin HeideggerPonderings XII–XV is third in a series of four "Black Notebooks" which Martin Heidegger composed in the early years of World War II. As always with Heidegger, the thoughts expressed here are not superficial reflections on current events, but instead penetrate deeply into them in order to contemplate their historical importance. Throughout his ponderings, Heidegger meditates on the call for an antidote to the rampant technological attitude which views all things with a dismissive consumer mentality. Although this volume caused quite a scandal when originally published in German due to references to World-Judaism, English readers with access to the full text can now judge for themselves what Heidegger means in his use of that term. In style, this notebook is less aphoristic and more sustained than the previous ones, but remains probing, challenging, and fascinating.

Popper and His Popular Critics
by Joseph AgassiThis volume examines Popper's philosophy by analyzing the criticism of his most popular critics: Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend and Imre Lakatos. They all followed his rejection of the traditional view of science as inductive. Starting from the assumption that Hume's criticism of induction is valid, the book explores the central criticism and objections that these three critics have raised Their objections have met with great success, are significant and deserve paraphrase. One also may consider them reasonable protests against Popper's high standards rather than fundamental criticisms of his philosophy The book starts out with a preliminary discussion of some central background material and essentials of Popper's philosophy. It ends with nutshell representations of the philosophies of Popper. Kuhn, Feyerabend and Lakatos. The middle section of the book presents the connection between these philosophers and explains what their central ideas consists of, what the critical arguments are, how they presented them, and how valid they are. In the process, the author claims that Popper's popular critics used against him arguments that he had invented (and answered) without saying so. They differ from him mainly in that they demanded of all criticism that it should be constructive: do not stop believing a refuted theory unless there is a better alternative to it. Popper hardly ever discussed belief, delegating its study to psychology proper; he usually discussed only objective knowledge, knowledge that is public and thus open to public scrutiny.
Popper's Approach to Education: A Cornerstone of Teaching and Learning (Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education #38)
by Stephanie ChitpinChallenging the theory of induction in teacher education, this book proposes a knowledge-building framework based on the critical rationalism of philosopher of science, Karl Popper. The Objective Knowledge Growth Framework developed in this book is designed to be an effective critical analysis framework for empowering teachers and schools to build and share professional knowledge. This book is essential reading for educational scholars, researchers, professionals, policymakers, and all those interested in exploring the application of Popperian philosophy to the field of education and re-envisioning educational practice.
Popper's Critical Rationalism: A Philosophical Investigation (Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science)
by Darrell RowbottomPopper’s Critical Rationalism presents Popper’s views on science, knowledge, and inquiry, and examines the significance and tenability of these in light of recent developments in philosophy of science, philosophy of probability, and epistemology. It develops a fresh and novel philosophical position on science, which employs key insights from Popper while rejecting other elements of his philosophy. Central theses include: Crucial questions about scientific method arise at the level of the group, rather than that of the individual. Although criticism is vital for science, dogmatism is important too. Belief in scientific theories is permissible even in the absence of evidence in their favour. The aim of science is to eliminate false theories. Critical rationalism can be understood as a form of virtue epistemology
Popper's Legacy: Rethinking Politics, Economics and Science
by Raphael SassowerThe work of Karl Popper has had extraordinary influence across the fields of scientific and social thought. Widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the twentieth century, he was also a highly influential social and political philosopher, a proponent and defender of the "open society". "Popper's Legacy" examines Popper in the round, analysing in particular his moral and psychological insights. Once Popper's scientific legacy is couched in political and moral terms, it becomes apparent that his concern for individual autonomy does not come at the expense of institutional guidelines and social conventions. Instead, these guidelines turn out to be essential sanctions for individual freedom. Popper envisions the conduct of the scientific community as paralleling the conduct of any democratically established community. Critical rationality guides the words and actions of all participants and leadership can be replaced without violence. In presenting a critical overview, "Popper's Legacy" reveals the debt many intellectual movements - such as Marxism, feminism, and postmodernism - still owe to Popper.
Popper's Open Society After Fifty Years
by Ian Jarvie Sandra PralongPopper's Open Society After Fifty Years presents a coherent survey of the reception and influence of Karl Popper's masterpiece The Open Society and its Enemies over the fifty years since its publication in 1945, as well as applying some of its principles to the context of modern Eastern Europe.This unique volume contains papers by many of Popper's contemporaries and friends, including such luminaries as Ernst Gombrich, in his paper 'The Open Society and its Enemies: Remembering its Publication Fifty Years Ago'.
Popper, Otto Selz, and the Rise of Evolutionary Epistemology
by Michel Ter HarkThis book demonstrates that Karl Popper's philosophy of science, with its emphasis on the method of trial and error, is largely based on the psychology of Otto Selz. Selz's theory of problem solving and scientific discovery laid the foundation for much of contemporary cognitive psychology. This original analysis covers Popper's early writings before he began his career as a philosopher.

Popular Agency and Politicisation in Nineteenth-Century Europe: Beyond the Vote (Palgrave Studies in Political History)
by Diego Palacios Cerezales Oriol LujánThis book provides an entry point to the most cutting-edge lines of research on popular political mobilisation in Europe. It brings together leading scholars from Germany, France, Britain, the Netherlands and Spain. The chapters explore the connected dimensions of popular participation within different countries and across borders, covering the topics of iconoclasm, popular acclamations, street politics, associations, petitions and electoral agitation. Focusing on the role of disenfranchised citizens and women, this collection broadens the themes of traditional political historical research that has identified political participation with the right to vote and struggles for political inclusion, and brings a wide array of formal and informal political practices to the centre of nineteenth-century European life. A must-read for scholars, undergraduates, and graduate students wishing to explore multiple dimensions of the history of political engagement and politicisation.
