The Vehement Passions
by Philip FisherBreaking off the ordinary flow of experience, the passions create a state of exception. In their suddenness and intensity, they map a personal world, fix and qualify our attention, and impel our actions. Outraged anger drives us to write laws that will later be enforced by impersonal justice. Intense grief at the death of someone in our life discloses the contours of that life to us. Wonder spurs scientific inquiry. The strong current of Western thought that idealizes a dispassionate world has ostracized the passions as quaint, even dangerous. Intense states have come to be seen as symptoms of pathology. A fondness for irony along with our civic ideal of tolerance lead us to prefer the diluted emotional life of feelings and moods. Demonstrating enormous intellectual originality and generosity, Philip Fisher meditates on whether this victory is permanent-and how it might diminish us. From Aristotle to Hume to contemporary biology, Fisher finds evidence that the passions have defined a core of human nature no less important than reason or desire. Traversing the Iliad, King Lear, Moby Dick, and other great works, he discerns the properties of the high-spirited states we call the passions. Are vehement states compatible with a culture that values private, selectively shared experiences? How do passions differ from emotions? Does anger have an opposite? Do the passions give scale, shape, and significance to our experience of time? Is a person incapable of anger more dangerous than someone who is irascible? In reintroducing us to our own vehemence, Fisher reminds us that it is only through our strongest passions that we feel the contours of injustice, mortality, loss, and knowledge. It is only through our personal worlds that we can know the world.
The Veil of Isis: An Essay on the History of the Idea of Nature
by Pierre Hadot Michael ChaseNearly 25 hundred years ago the Greek thinker Heraclitus supposedly uttered the cryptic wprds 'Phusis kruptesthai philei'. How the aphorism, usually translated as 'nature loves to hide', has haunted Western culture ever since is the subject of this engaging study by Pierre Hadot.
Venezuela – Dimensions of the Crisis: A Perspective on Democratic Backsliding (Contributions to Political Science)
by Miguel Angel Latouche Wolfgang Muno Alexandra GerickeThe book is devoted to the subject of Venezuela's politics and the different dimensions of its longstanding crisis, with various researchers exchanging ideas on the current problems affecting the country. It is the first comprehensive overview on the dimensions of Venezuela’s current crisis written in English, thus filling an important research gap. Especially the participation of international, well-known scholars make it a global enterprise. The book covers historical and theoretical facts surrounding the case of Venezuela and also focuses on the parties and actors that play decisive roles in the conflict. Subjects include the military, public administration, ideology, the opposition, the party landscape along with its crisis and Venezuela's oil policy. Furthermore the book touches upon international and regional aspects: Venezuela's diplomatic relations with the EU, the USA, Cuba and Colombia, respectively. The volume addresses a wider audience, such as scholars on Latin American and especially Venezuelan Politics, International Relations, as well as an interested public, including journalists and politicians.
Venezuela's Bolivarian Democracy: Participation, Politics, and Culture Under Chávez
by David Smilde Daniel HellingerVenezuela's Bolivarian Democracy brings together a variety of perspectives on participation and democracy in Venezuela. An interdisciplinary group of contributors focuses on the everyday lives of Venezuelans, examining the forms of participation that have emerged in communal councils, cultural activities, blogs, community media, and several other forums. The essays validate many of the critiques of democracy under Chvez, as well as much of the praise. They show that while government corporatism and clientelism are constant threats, the forms of political and cultural participation discussed are creating new discourses, networks, and organizational spaces--for better and for worse. With open yet critical minds, the contributors seek to analyze Venezuela's Bolivarian democratic experience through empirical research. In doing so, they reveal a nuanced process, a richer and more complex one than is conveyed in international journalism and scholarship exclusively focused on the words and actions of Hugo Chvez.

Venice's Intimate Empire: Family Life and Scholarship in the Renaissance Mediterranean
by Erin MaglaqueMining private writings and humanist texts, Erin Maglaque explores the lives and careers of two Venetian noblemen, Giovanni Bembo and Pietro Coppo, who were appointed as colonial administrators and governors. In Venice’s Intimate Empire, she uses these two men and their families to showcase the relationship between humanism, empire, and family in the Venetian Mediterranean.Maglaque elaborates an intellectual history of Venice’s Mediterranean empire by examining how Venetian humanist education related to the task of governing. Taking that relationship as her cue, Maglaque unearths an intimate view of the emotions and subjectivities of imperial governors. In their writings, it was the affective relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, humanist teachers and their students that were the crucible for self-definition and political decision making. Venice’s Intimate Empire thus illuminates the experience of imperial governance by drawing connections between humanist education and family affairs. From marriage and reproduction to childhood and adolescence, we see how intimate life was central to the Bembo and Coppo families’ experience of empire. Maglaque skillfully argues that it was within the intimate family that Venetians’ relationships to empire—its politics, its shifting social structures, its metropolitan and colonial cultures—were determined.
Verantwortungsvolle Digitalität: Warum wir den digitalen Wandel gestalten sollten
by Christoph BöhmDigitale Produkte, Dienste sowie Kommunikationsformen zeichnen sich besonders dadurch aus, dass sie im physikalischen Sinne immateriell sind. Aus dieser Eigenschaft folgen vielfältige Möglichkeiten, Lebenspraktiken und Lebenswelten individuell zu gestalten. Leicht zu verbreitende Digitalprodukte vermitteln gesteigerte Wirksamkeitserfahrung, welche den Digitalen Wandel wirtschaftlich, technisch und gesellschaftlich in Gang hält. Wachstumsgrenzen scheinen durch disruptive Innovationen der Künstlichen Intelligenz, der digitalen Vernetzung sowie auch der Virtualisierung von Lebenswelten zu diffundieren. Ein systemischer Blick auf die Veränderungsdynamiken führt zur Einsicht, dass Anerkennungswettläufe zur Sicherung der sozialen Position entbrennen. Um einer Abwärtsspirale zu entfliehen, fühlen sich Individuen sowie wirtschaftliche Akteure genötigt, Verwirklichungschancen der Digitaltechnologie ergreifen zu müssen, da ansonsten die Todeserfahrung einer sozialen oder wirtschaftlichen Irrelevanz droht. Diesem Krisenphänomen setzt das Buch eine Idee entgegen, wie aus selbstfürsorglicher Integrität heraus eine lebensdienliche und vor allem gerechte Digitalität verwirklicht werden könnte.
Verbraucherpolitik von unten: Paradoxien, Perspektiven, Problematisierungen (Konsumsoziologie und Massenkultur)
by Kai-Uwe Hellmann Ansgar Klein Bernward BauleVerbraucherpolitik wurde in Deutschland seit ihrem Bestehen in den 1950er Jahren vorwiegend als ein Aktions‐ und Maßnahmenbündel verstanden und betrieben, das in erster Linie staatlicherseits initiiert und institutionalisiert wurde. Oftmals auch wurden von Staats wegen entsprechende Aufträge erteilt und Fördermodelle aufgesetzt, wodurch ein Erscheinungsbild entstand, als ob man es im Grunde nur mit einer durch die Makropolitik verordneten ‚Verbraucherpolitik von oben‘ herab zu tun hätte. Nicht, dass in diesen zurückliegenden Jahrzehnten nicht auch immer wieder Versuche unternommen worden wären, verbraucherpolitische Anstöße aus der Mitte der Zivilgesellschaft – oft in Gestalt kleiner Bürgerinitiativen – zu geben. Und gerade in den letzten Jahren sind einige neue Verbraucherorganisationen entstanden, die ungleich basisnäher operieren. Dennoch scheint sich bei den großen, regierungsnahen ‚Playern‘ im Feld, die schon jahrzehntelang im ‚Geschäft‘ sind, von der regierungsinternen Verbraucherpolitik ganz zu schweigen, der Eindruck festgesetzt zu haben, Verbraucherpolitik betreffe ein Politikfeld, das im Wesentlichen durch eine Kollaboration von Staat einerseits, sämtliche Verbraucher und Verbraucherinnen gleichermaßen vertretenden Verbraucherschutzorganisationen andererseits bestellt wird, während die vielen kleinen Verbraucherinitiativen, von einzelnen engagierten Verbrauchern oder Verbraucherinnen gar nicht erst angefangen, demgegenüber regelmäßig ins Hintertreffen geraten. Diese Perspektive bezieht sich größtenteils auf die Sicht auf und aus dem Zentrum der Politik heraus. Diesem institutionell vorherrschenden Eindruck, es gäbe im Prinzip nur ‚Verbraucherpolitik von oben‘, die wirklich schlag‐ und durchsetzungsfähig sei, soll mit diesem Band ein Stück weit entgegengewirkt werden.
Verbs, Bones, and Brains: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Human Nature
by Agustín Fuentes and Aku Visala&“A benchmark collection of essays on the contemporary understanding of human nature. . . . [engaging] biology and anthropology to theology and philosophy.&” —Robin W. Lovin, Cary M. Maguire University Professor of Ethics emeritus, Southern Methodist University, author of What Do We Do When No One is Listening: Leading the Church in a Polarized Society The last few decades have seen an unprecedented surge of empirical and philosophical research into the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, the origins of the mind/brain, and human culture. This research has sparked heated debates about the nature of human beings and how knowledge about humans from the sciences and humanities should be properly understood. The goal of Verbs, Bones, and Brains: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Human Nature is to engage these themes and present current debates, discussions, and discourse for a range of readers. The contributors bring the discussion to life with key experts outlining major concepts paired with cross-disciplinary commentaries in order to create a novel approach to thinking about, and with, human natures. Throughout, they emphasize the importance of seeking a convergence in our views on human nature, despite metaphysical disagreements. They caution that if convergence eludes us and a common ground cannot be found, this is itself a relevant result: it would reveal to us how deeply our questions about ourselves are connected to our basic metaphysical assumptions. Instead, their focus is on how the interdisciplinary and possibly transdisciplinary conversation can be enhanced in order to identify and develop a common ground on what constitutes human nature. &“A landmark volume. . . . It shows the fruitfulness of a mutually respectful and yet rigorous approach to cross-disciplinary engagement.&” (William Storrar, Center of Theological Inquiry, Princeton, NJ, editor of A World for All?: Global Civil Society in Political Theory and Trinitarian Theology &“Fascinating, well-organized, and well-edited.&” —Choice
Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas, Volume 2
by Bernard Lonergan Frederick Crowe, S.J. Robert Doran, S.J.Bernard Lonergan's theological writings have influenced religious scholars ever since the first publication in the 1940s of the series of five articles which make up Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas. These articles first appeared in Theological Studies and were subsequently republished in book form in 1967 under the present title. This volume contains a new preface by the editors and full translations of all Latin texts.Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas is a product of Lonergan's eleven years of study of the thought of Thomas Aquinas. The work is considered by many to be a breakthrough in the history of Lonergan's theology and a foundation upon which his later contributions were constructed. Here he interprets aspects in the writing of Aquinas relevant to trinitarian theory and, as in most of Lonergan's work, one of the principal aims is to assist the reader in the search to understand the workings of the human mind.Verbum: Word and Idea in Aquinas is a vital component of Lonergan's oeuvre, and of continuing relevance to trinitarian theology, Aquinas studies, and inquiries into human cognition.Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984), a professor of theology, taught at Regis College, Harvard University, and Boston College. An established author known for his Insight and Method in Theology, Lonergan received numerous honorary doctorates, was a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1971 and was named as an original members of the International Theological Commission by Pope Paul VI.
Verbundenheit: Die Konstruktion der religiösen Selbst-Identität als Sinnsystem
by Britta RichterIst Verbundenheit, wie Studien nahelegen, die Essenz von Spiritualität? Und wie könnte ein Religionsmodell aussehen, das auf Verbundenheit als religiöse Bewusstseinsqualität aufbaut? Auf Basis qualitativer Daten aus Interviews mit Langzeitpraktizierenden aus spirituellen und künstlerischen Handlungsfeldern, entwickelt Britta Richter, im Gefolge phänomenologischer Lebensweltanalyse (Luckmann/Schütz), Modelle religiöser Selbst-Identität. Die Autorin folgt in phänomenologischen Analysen den narrativen Sinn-Konstruktionen zu ihrem Ursprung im praktischen Tun. Sie zeigt auf, dass Bindungen an Sinn-Quellen (Charles Taylor), Praktiken und Habitus, einer ontologischen Handlungslogik des Seins-Bewusstseins folgen und rekonstruiert, wie im Zwischenraum von Immanenz und Transzendenz, Welt-Beziehung und Seins-Beziehung, bedingtem und unbedingtem Sinn, Seins-Sinn-Bewusstsein verkörpert wird (religio). Unter Aufnahme bindungstheoretischer und theologischer Ansätze, wird ein Verständnis von symbolischer Identität entwickelt, in dem sich das Selbst, in der Praxis von Verbundenheit, Selbst-Transzendenz und Transformation, durch Selbstdeutung in der Gesellschaft, als verkörperte Religion seiner religio, individuiert.
The Verdict of Battle: The Law Of Victory And The Making Of Modern War
by James Q. WhitmanToday, war is considered a last resort for resolving disagreements. But a day of staged slaughter on the battlefield was once seen as a legitimate means of settling political disputes. James Whitman argues that pitched battle was essentially a trial with a lawful verdict. And when this contained form of battle ceased to exist, the law of victory gave way to the rule of unbridled force. The Verdict of Battle explains why the ritualized violence of the past was more effective than modern warfare in bringing carnage to an end, and why humanitarian laws that cling to a notion of war as evil have led to longer, more barbaric conflicts. Belief that sovereigns could, by rights, wage war for profit made the eighteenth century battle’s golden age. A pitched battle was understood as a kind of legal proceeding in which both sides agreed to be bound by the result. To the victor went the spoils, including the fate of kingdoms. But with the nineteenth-century decline of monarchical legitimacy and the rise of republican sentiment, the public no longer accepted the verdict of pitched battles. Ideology rather than politics became war’s just cause. And because modern humanitarian law provided no means for declaring a victor or dispensing spoils at the end of battle, the violence of war dragged on. The most dangerous wars, Whitman asserts in this iconoclastic tour de force, are the lawless wars we wage today to remake the world in the name of higher moral imperatives.

Vergil and Elegy (Phoenix Supplementary Volumes #60)
by Alison Keith Micah Y. MyersBorn in 70 BCE, the Roman poet Vergil came of age during a period of literary experimentalism among Latin authors. These authors introduced new Greek verse forms and metres into the existing repertoire of Latin poetic genres and measures, foremost among them being elegy, a genre that the ancients thought originated in funeral lament, but which in classical Rome became first-person poetry about the poet-lover’s amatory vicissitudes. Despite the influence of notable elegists on Vergil’s early poetry, his critics have rarely paid attention to his engagement with the genre across his body of work. This collection is devoted to an exploration of Vergil’s multifaceted relations with elegy. Contributors shed light on Vergil’s interactions with the genre and its practitioners across classical, medieval, and early modern periods. The book investigates Vergil’s hexameter poetry in relation to contemporary Latin elegy by Gallus, Tibullus, and Propertius, and the subsequent reception of Vergil’s radical combination of epic with elegy by later Latin and Italian authors. Filling a striking gap in the scholarship, Vergil and Elegy illuminates the famous poet’s wide-ranging engagement with the genre of elegy across his oeuvre.
Vergil, Philodemus, and the Augustans
by David Armstrong Jeffrey FishThe Epicurean teacher and poet Philodemus of Gadara (c. 110-c. 40/35 BC) exercised significant literary and philosophical influence on Roman writers of the Augustan Age, most notably the poets Vergil and Horace. <P><P>Yet a modern appreciation for Philodemus' place in Roman intellectual history has had to wait on the decipherment of the charred remains of Philodemus' library, which was buried in Herculaneum by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. As improved texts and translations of Philodemus' writings have become available since the 1970s, scholars have taken a keen interest in his relations with leading Latin poets.

Verificationism: Its History and Prospects (Philosophical Issues in Science)
by C.J. MisakVerificationism is the first comprehensive history of a concept that dominated philosophy and scientific methodology between the 1930s and the 1960s. The verificationist principle - the concept that a belief with no connection to experience is spurious - is the most sophisticated version of empiricism. More flexible ideas of verification are now being rehabilitated by a number of philosophers.C.J. Misak surveys the precursors, the main proponents and the rehabilitators. Unlike traditional studies, she follows verificationist theory beyond the demise of positivism to examine its reappearance in the work of modern philosophers. Most interestingly, she argues that despite feminism's strenuous opposition to positivism, verificationist thought is at the heart of much of contemporary feminist philosophy.Verificationism is an excellent assessment of a major and influential system of thought.
Verissimus: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius
by Donald J. RobertsonIn the tradition of Logicomix, Donald J. Robertson's Verissimus is a riveting graphic novel on the life and stoic philosophy of Marcus Aurelius.Marcus Aurelius was the last famous Stoic of antiquity but he was also to become the most powerful man in the known world – the Roman emperor. After losing his father at an early age, he threw himself into the study of philosophy. The closest thing history knew to a philosopher-king, yet constant warfare and an accursed plague almost brought his empire to its knees. “Life is warfare”, he wrote, “and a sojourn in foreign land!” One thing alone could save him: philosophy, the love of wisdom!The remarkable story of Marcus Aurelius’ life and philosophical journey is brought to life by philosopher and psychotherapist Donald J. Robertson, in a sweeping historical epic of a graphic novel, based on a close study of the historical evidence, with the stunning full-color artwork of award-winning illustrator Zé Nuno Fraga.
Verkannt, verfemt, vergessen: Geschichten aus der europäischen Mathematik der Neuzeit
by Heinz Klaus StrickSobald Sie sich eingehender mit der Geschichte der Mathematik beschäftigen, werden Sie auch auf Personen stoßen, deren Namen Ihnen bislang unbekannt waren oder von deren Bedeutung für die Entwicklung der Mathematik Sie bisher nichts wussten. Dieses Buch bietet Ihnen einen Einblick in das Leben und Wirken von 67 besonderen Persönlichkeiten aus dem europäischen Raum – und geht bei der Betrachtung der Einzelschicksale jeweils auch der Frage nach, warum diese Personen vergleichsweise unbekannt sind, warum sie regelrecht „vergessen“ wurden. Die Gründe dafür sind vielfältig und meist in den jeweiligen politischen, gesellschaftlichen oder individuellen Lebensumständen zu finden – viele wurden diskriminiert und konnten ihre Fähigkeiten gar nicht erst entfalten, andere waren Ihrer Zeit voraus und blieben lange Zeit unverstanden. Über die historische Einordnung hinaus werden einige der mathematischen Beiträge dieser Personen dargestellt – so ausgewählt, dass sie mit denin der gymnasialen Oberstufe üblicherweise vermittelten Kenntnissen nachvollzogen werden können. Die in diesem Buch enthaltenen Darstellungen beginnen mit Persönlichkeiten aus dem 16. Jahrhundert und schließen somit chronologisch an das Buch Geschichten aus der Mathematik desselben Autors an, sind aber unabhängig davon lesbar. Das Buch richtet sich an alle, die sich für die Entwicklung der Wissenschaften interessieren und dabei insbesondere ein tieferes Verständnis für die menschlichen Aspekte der Mathematik entwickeln möchten.

Verleiblichte Differenz: Kritische Phänomenologie und narrative Texte über Behinderung, Race und Sexualität
by Simon DickelDieses Buch untersucht, wie phänomenologische Ansätze zu den Themen Verleiblichung, Wahrnehmung und gelebte Erfahrung innerhalb der Disability Studies, der Critical Race Theory und der Queer Studies diskutiert werden. Auf Grundlage dieser Disziplinen analysiert der Autor Autobiografien und Romane, die sich mit den Folgen von Stigmatisierung und den körperlichen Dimensionen sozialer Ungleichheit auseinandersetzen. Die untersuchten Texte sind Robert F. Murphys The Body Silent, Simi Lintons My Body Politic, Rod Michalkos The Two-in-One: Walking with Smokie, Walking with Blindness, drei autobiografische Texte von Stephen Kuusisto, Vincent O. Carters The Bern Book sowie zwei Romane, Matthew Griffin's Hide und Armistead Maupin's Maybe the Moon. All dieseTexte haben die Bedeutung von Körpergedächtnis und Wahrnehmungsgewohnheiten, den Einfluss von Sprache und Kultur für Prozesse der Verleiblichung, die Bedeutung von Relationalität und Gemeinschaft,die Auswirkungen von Beleidigung und Nichtanerkennung sowie Emanzipation und soziale Anerkennung zum Thema. Folglich werden sie als bahnbrechende Beiträge zur kritischen Phänomenologie diskutiert.
