Mit dem Wort "Aufklärung" verbinden sich wesentliche Aspekte der gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung und Veränderung, die in der neueren Geschichte Europas ihren Ursprung hatten und die inzwischen globale Wirksamkeit entfalten. Der Kerngehalt dieses Wortes gelangt in der Vorstellung einer "vernunftgeleiteten" Nutzung der Möglichkeiten des menschlichen Selbstentwurfs zum Ausdruck, wobei Begriffe wie "Freiheit", "Gleichheit" und "Brüderlichkeit", aber auch "Demokratie" zentrale Leitplanken darstellen.Diese Leitplanken sind allerdings variabel und mehrdeutig. Sie vermögen sich in vielfältige Richtungen zu entfalten, die sich als einander ausschließende Entwicklungen begegnen und durchkreuzen können. Die Dynamik des aufklärungsgeleiteten Denkens und Handelns verläuft somit keineswegs linear, sondern weist vielfältige Bewegungsfiguren auf, die sich ebenso durch kühne Ausgriffe, wie auch durch Zusammenstöße, Widersprüche und Überschneidungen kennzeichnen. Zwar lässt sich in diesen Bewegungsvarianten teils eine verborgene Gesetzlichkeit erkennen, deren Entzifferung u.a. zur Entstehung "dialektischer" Deutungssysteme beigetragen hat. In vielen Fällen kommt in ihnen jedoch eine unbeherrschbare Überschussenergie zum Vorschein, die ihre Kräfte aus einer zunehmenden Entfesselung des Menschen aus vormaligen Ordnungen und Einhegungen bezieht, wobei sich chaotische Wirbel entwickeln können, die im Grenzfall katastrophische oder auch karnevaleske Züge annehmen.Es sind diese eruptiven Ausbrüche, die im vorliegenden Text als "Kapriolen der Aufklärung" bezeichnet und behandelt werden.

In this intellectually seducing highly introspective erotic novel and existential testament Cosmin Stefan Georgescu takes us on the life's journey of a covert Alpha Male (but not only) exploring the multiplicity of the human psyche and labyrinthine spectrum of manly desires from the coming-of-age phase to the young self-aware libertine adventurer to the finally disenchanted mature man conscious of his own and of the human nature limits.In his new ingenuously open-hearted literary journey, he makes peace with his own contradictions and gives a compassionate look at the complexities of human nature establishing a fine balance between self-awareness, narcissistic contemplation and objective observation of detailed reality.In his novel women's bodies and intimate body parts and diversified heterosexual interaction become poetry and source of endless inspiration.This is a rare must-read for those not afraid to wander into forbidden realms of the senses and to spiral cerebral journeys enriched by ponderings and sexual depiction of the most intrinsic analytical nature.Cosmin Stefan Georgescu Born in Romania, in 1971. From an early age he was fascinated by words. He liked listening to his parents reading him bedtime stories, he used to learn a lot of poems by heart and recite them proudly. His first models were his parents, both of them teachers. However, Cosmin did not follow in his parents' footsteps and decided to become a doctor. He graduated from Carol Davilla Medical University in Bucharest in 1997. In 2015 he went to France and ever since he has been living and working there.

Es erscheint den meisten Menschen, die von den Nachrichten der Presse, des Fernsehens oder des Internets überschwemmt werden, dass die Probleme im eigenen Land oder in der Welt immer größer und die Politik und die Politiker immer schlechter werden.Die Politiker können die anstehenden Probleme gar nicht oder nur schlecht lösen. Sie orientieren sich nicht am Gemeinwohl aller Bürger und stellen oft mit ihren Handlungen das eigentliche Problem dar.Es ist fast allen Menschen bewusst, dass sich nur "schlechte" Nachrichten gut verkaufen lassen, aber es gelingt ihnen meistens nicht, sich von dieser Fehleinschätzung zu befreien.Vielleicht kann dieses Buch dazu anregen, diese Gedankenfalle zu überwinden und Wege für weitere positive Entwicklungen aufzuzeigen. Es zeigt die soziale Entwicklung des Homo Sapiens seit der Entwicklung der Schrift auf. Es versucht Wege zu zeigen, wie man durch eine bessere Auswahl der Politiker und durch die Eliminierung von katstrophalen Fehlbesetzungen unsere politische Kultur weiter verbessern kann.

Am Samstagabend, den 7. November 2020 um circa 22 Uhr passiert es: Ich spürte an meinem Hinterkopf einen sehr starken Schlag, und dies mehrere Male hintereinander. Ich war plötzlich wach, dachte ich zumindest.Dies ist das prägendste Erlebnis in Federico Sorbellis bisherigem Leben. Er fiel ins Wachkoma und hatte das große Glück, wieder aufzuwachen und weiterleben zu dürfen. Was führte zu diesem schrecklichen und dennoch letztendlich erlösenden und glückbringenden Ereignis im Leben des Autors? Was war der Auslöser? Es war der Alkohol, der sich auf tückische Weise schon seit der Kindheit in seinem Leben nach und nach immer mehr Platz erstahl. Anfangs nur aus Unwissenheit und Dummheit, probierte der junge Autor bereits mit ungefähr sechs Jahren das erst Mal Alkohol, bis es seine Eltern entdeckten und ihm verboten. Als Jugendlicher beginnt er, die verschiedenen Alkoholika mehr und mehr zu konsumieren, schon damals in für ihn schädlichen Mengen. Was hier begann, wurde dem Autor in seinem beruflichen und privaten Werdegang immer öfter zum Verhängnis. Es nahm ihm die klare Sicht und verhinderte bis vor einem Jahr auch die wirkliche Einsicht, mit dem Trinken aufzuhören.Der Autor möchte mit seiner ehrlichen, schonungslosen und aufrüttelnden Lebensgeschichte allen Alkoholikern aufzeigen, dass es möglich ist auszusteigen, wenn man nur immer wieder aufsteht, sich seinen Weg erkämpft und nie lockerlässt.

Kein Lehrbuch der Nationalökonomik kann jemals eine immer und überall empirisch gültige Einheitstheorie für das bestmögliche Funktionieren einer staatlich eingebundenen Wirtschaft (Nationalökonomie) zugunsten der Bürger, des Gemeinwesens und befreundeter Länder anbieten. Unwissen über Zustände und Funktionsweisen künftiger Nationalökonomien, die sich mit turbulentem innovativem Wandel in unvorstellbarer Weise neugestalten, ist ein Hauptgrund. Gleichwohl sollen und wollen Nationalökonomen bestmögliche Ratschläge für eine gesamtwirtschaftliche Entwicklung erteilen, die allen nützt. Sie trachten durch ein "Spurenlesen" der Menschen da und dort sowie ein "Spurendeuten" über gewisse Zeitspannen hinweg ein dynamisches Makro-Modell für die speziell betrachtete Nationalökonomie zu gewinnen. Üblich sind Zwei-Schritt-Einzelschätzungen (versuchs- und schrittweise Hinzunahme und sodann Wegnahme von Regressoren) für Verknüpfungen von Gruppen-Daten. Misslich ist dabei zweierlei: (1.) dass mit den verfügbaren Daten unterschiedliche und gleichermaßen vertretbare Modelle möglich sind, (2.) ferner jedoch keines dieser Modelle zukunftsgültig "wie eine Maschine" sein kann. Tiefere Gründe für beides liegen (mangels "Allwissens") in der allüberall nur "beschränkten Rationalität", im unkalkulierbaren Ausleben persönlicher Freiheiten in der "Marktwirtschaftlichen Demokratie" sowie schließlich im erwähnten Wandel moderner Nationalökonomien. Ungeachtet aller unvermeidlichen "Unschärfen" (mit ungenauen Definitionen der Variablen, den nur ungefähr dazu passenden Daten und tatsächlich bloß weichen Verknüpfungen) werden die Modelle mit Mathematik und ökonometrischen Spezifikationen als scheingenau präsentiert, von einzelnen Fachleuten zum Glauben angeboten und sogar zur "Rechtfertigung" politischer Maßnahmen nach bestimmten Weltanschauungen als allgemeingültig verfochten. Meinungsführer erreichen dabei nicht selten eine sozialpsychologische Immunisierung bestimmter Thesen. Diese wirkt im Alltag (bei Handlungsempfehlungen, bei Prüfungen und bei Karriere-Schritten) oftmals als verbindlich und "wahr". Der bei führenden Nationalökonomen bisher praktizierte "naturwissenschaftliche Denkstil" (mit genauer Ausdrucksweise, Überprüfbarkeit der Zusammenhangsvermutungen und Suche nach Gesetz- oder Regelmäßigkeiten) hat sich erschöpft, dabei aber eine große Herausforderung an die Wissenschaft hinterlassen.

Disappointment, hope, struggle, love, failure and resilience are everyday themes that occupy our thoughts and constitute our inner monologue. In this book, the writer takes you on a journey of self-reflection. It invites each of us to pause and reflect on the beauty, simplicity and complexity of life. To reconnect with ourselves and nature. And to rediscover ties and pure feelings with our families, friends, and the world around us... "The water gliding forming ripples on the lake. Above the clouds, blue skies, pure air... You are you... time to get happy, smile and laugh again." And "silence, alone with my thoughts again, inviting, and familiar, like communing with an old friend..."

Born of personal experience this anthology is representative of a heartfelt poetry collection by Anglo Asian born author Dawn Beasley.The collection is the fruit of trauma and her extremely difficult experiences including being a cancer sufferer who lost her ability to paint because of it.The poems are pregnant with desperation and hope, faith and doubts, fear and ultimate courage that has helped Dawn in overcoming each new challenge. It is through faith and help from supporting family and friends that Dawn has managed to focus on her writing abilities giving birth to a profound, touching selection of poems reflecting her personal state of mind and her physical struggle for survival. Ultimately Healing Words is a compendium of cathartic proportions leading to a sense of liberation and resulting in a generous transmission of grief and positive and optimistic vibrations for the reader to thoroughly enjoy and suffer at the same time.Dawn Beasley was born into an Anglo Asian family in 1952. She grew up in North London amongst a fair deal of colour prejudice. She soon found she had a natural flair for languages which became apparent in her later years at school and has now come to the fore.Her Christian faith, love of people, adoption of two daughters and care for their well-being through serious personal traumas over the years brought her to a place of using her gifting in writing to release emotion and enable others to do the same.Dawn's once fine art skills disappeared after her battle with major oesophageal cancer in 2013. What she found she could not do with a paintbrush anymore seemed to accelerate her ability to write and she has been encouraged by numerous people to publish what now has become Healing Words her heartfelt and touching poetry collection.

Can the sight of a fly landing on a rock lead to the realisation of the ephemerality of existence? For Clem, it can. He is in his forties, he drives a taxi in Cork, and he lives in waiting: waiting to earn more money, waiting to finish his book of poems, waiting to move to Madrid - the promised land - where he hopes to open a bar and start living for real. And while he waits, he thinks. A lot.Reading this book, we soon find ourselves floating in a complex stream of consciousness featuring cosmic journeys, epiphanies, cold wars fought online with ex-girlfriends, and a good dose of self-sabotage. In the midst of all this, a single, obsessive question keeps coming back with haunting insistence - the only question worth asking: What is the meaning of life? Colm Michael O'Driscoll was born in 1971 in Ireland. He has had a passion for writing from an early age, developing a unique forthright style by composing multitudes of poems and scripts in his bedroom throughout his teenage years.

He moved to Madrid in 2012, where he lives and works as an English Teacher. He has published a well-received poetry book In the Latter Stages of Something Else (2012), and a novel Not Quite a Christmas Carol (2019).
