'A groundbreaking work . . . Federici has become a crucial figure for . . . a new generation of feminists' Rachel Kushner, author of The Mars RoomA cult classic since its publication in the early years of this century, Caliban and the Witch is Silvia Federici's history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages through the European witch-hunts, the rise of scientific rationalism and the colonisation of the Americas, it gives a panoramic account of the often horrific violence with which the unruly human material of pre-capitalist societies was transformed into a set of predictable and controllable mechanisms. It Is a study of indigenous traditions crushed, of the enclosure of women's reproductive powers within the nuclear family, and of how our modern world was forged in blood.'Rewarding . . . allows us to better understand the intimate relationship between modern patriarchy, the rise of the nation state and the transition from feudalism to capitalism' Guardian

Die Amerikanerin Dorothy Day gilt manchen als eine moderne Heilige. Als Pazifistin und Anarchistin stellte sie in der Zeit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg den american way of life infrage und kam in Konflikt mit Kirche und Staat. Monika Bauer zeichnet in ihrer Biografie Dorothy Days Weg nach von der Bohemienne zur gläubigen Katholikin. Sie zeigt, dass die Sozial­aktivistin ihr widersprüchliches Leben als Pilgerweg verstand und wie sehr sie an einer Kirche litt, die sie mehr als mächtige Institution denn als geschwisterliche Gemeinschaft in der Nachfolge Jesu wahrnahm. Als Mitbegründerin und Herausgeberin der Zeitung The Catholic Worker verlieh sie dem linken Flügel der katholischen Kirche Amerikas eine Stimme. Sie legte mit diesem Engagement den Grundstein für eine radikale Bewegung, die wegweisend wurde für eine zeitgemässe katholische Laienspiritualität und die Perspektiven für Sendung und Praxis der Kirche in einer säkularen Welt eröffnete. So ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass für Dorothy Day inzwischen ein Seligsprechungsprozess eröffnet worden ist.

Karl Rahner kennt das Gefühl, dass betendes Rufen ein Leben lang ohne Antwort zu bleiben scheint. Dabei hält dieser spirituelle Meister nicht den »billigen« Trost bereit, die eigenen Gefühle und Stimmungen beim Beten vorschnell als »göttliche Antwort« zu verstehen. Vielmehr ist für Rahner gerade die im Beten gemachte Erfahrung des Schweigens Gottes der Schlüssel zum erwachsenen Beten, zum Beten als Vorbereitung dafür, dass Gott dem Menschen von innen her das eigene Herz erschließt.

Wie bewahrt man seine Selbstachtung in einer historischen Epoche, in der die Menschheit ihre Würde verliert?Wir brauchen ein neues Leitbild für die planetare Krise. Das alte, durch Gier, Neid und Dominanzstreben angetriebene Modell führt uns in eine globale Katastrophe. Der offensichtlichste Grund (von vielen) ist die enge Korrelation zwischen Wirtschaftswachstum und Kohlendioxidemissionen. Realistisch betrachtet sind unsere Möglichkeiten bereits jetzt auf Schadensbegrenzung und intelligentes Krisenmanagement beschränkt.Intellektuelle Redlichkeit, Mitgefühl und eine bestimmte Form von innerer Bewusstheit sind das, was wir für mentale und politische Resilienz dringend brauchen. Der Begriff einer 'Bewusstseinskultur' bildet den Ausgangspunkt für eine neue Debatte.

The essential companion to the phenomenal bestseller THE POWER OF NOW

The problem of whether we should love ourselves - and if so how - has particular resonance within Christian thought and is an important yet underinvestigated theme in the writings of Soren Kierkegaard. In Works of Love, Kierkegaard argues that the friendships and romantic relationships which we typically treasure most are often merely disguised forms of 'selfish' self-love. Yet in this nuanced and subtle account, John Lippitt shows that Kierkegaard also provides valuable resources for responding to the challenge of how we can love ourselves, as well as others. Lippitt relates what it means to love oneself properly to such topics as love of God and neighbour, friendship, romantic love, self-denial and self-sacrifice, trust, hope and forgiveness. The book engages in detail with Works of Love, related Kierkegaard texts and important recent studies, and also addresses a wealth of wider literature in ethics, moral psychology and philosophy of religion.

'One of the greatest books of a very great thinker' Michael TannerBeyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects traditional Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche seeks to demonstrate that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual impose their own 'will to power' upon the world.Translated by R. J. HOLLINGDALE With an Introduction by MICHAEL TANNER
