Why would René Descartes, the father of modern rationalist philosophy, choose "meditations"—a term and genre associated with religious discourse and practice—for the title of his magnum opus that lays the metaphysical foundations for his reform of all knowledge, including mathematics and sciences? Why did he believe that the immortality of the soul and the existence of God, which the Meditations on First Philosophy set out to demonstrate, can only be made self-evident through meditating? These are the question that Christopher Wild's book answers. Descartes discovered the "foundations of a marvelous science" through a dramatic conversion in southern Germany in the winter of 1619. The spiritual and cognitive exercises, derived from ancient philosophy and the Christian meditative tradition, which Descartes deployed in the Meditations, enable readers to discover metaphysical truths with the same degree of self-evidence with which Descartes did during his own conversion. Descartes' meditative turn, Wild argues, brings to a culmination a lifelong preoccupation with the practice or craft of thinking, known as Cartesian method. By joining meditation to method the Meditations becomes the founding document for a Cartesian "art of turning," a new practice of both thought and life

"Belief and Disbelief from the Great Terror to Stalin's Death Like over a million of her fellow Soviet subjects, the Muscovite actress Vera Shults was arrested during the Great Terror of 1937-38. The secret police interrogated her at Taganskaya Prison in southeast Moscow and ultimately sentenced her to five years of exile in Central Asia for being a "socially dangerous element." During her time at Taganskaya, Shults was deeply impressed by one of her cellmates, an older religious woman named Tatyana Pavlovna, whom she described as "radiating kindness" while patiently accepting her unjust imprisonment. While pondering the meaning of religion during this time of great trial, Shultz remarked in her memoir, "We all grew up as atheists, and so I have a hard time judging what role her faith played, but I think that Tatyana Pavlovna found solace in it." In the Gulag of the late 1930s to the early 1950s, solace was in short supply as the brutal system of incarceration and compulsory labor was rocked by the successive calamities of the Great Terror and World War II. The Great Terror, a horrific crime against humanity perpetrated by Stalin's regime, resulted in the execution, imprisonment, or exile of some 1.5 million people, many of them falsely convicted of conspiring against the Soviet Union. This was followed by the Second World War, a terrible war of attrition that ultimately caused over twenty million Soviet deaths. More Stalinist repression followed the war, and long sentences for minor infractions such as petty theft swelled the ranks of the incarcerated. For those imprisoned in the Soviet Gulag, these successive waves of violence and repression brought chaos, overcrowding, suffering, and death to an already dangerous and desultory system. Thousands of religious leaders were among the millions of people sent to the camps from the beginning of the Great Terror in 1937 to Stalin's death in 1953, along with untold numbers of lay believers. In the crucible of these darkest years of the Soviet Gulag, maintaining belief was difficult. The Gulag prohibited religious worship, guards and nonreligious inmates mocked expressions of faith, and the matter of survival for many took precedence over all other concerns. Some believers ultimately lost their faith or were criticized by fellow inmates for selfish hypocrisy-preaching Christian charity while hoarding food, for example. Others hid their faith. Yet like the Orthodox clergy imprisoned at Solovki in the 1920s, many managed to hold to their beliefs and share them with others, finding camaraderie, patience, peace, and joy. Such inmates were examples of Christian love and service in the Gulag's bleak and brutal camps"--

Terrorismusbekämpfung ist für Offene Gesellschaften aufgrund ihrer Verwundbarkeit ein Balanceakt zwischen Sicherheit, Freiheit und Wohlstand. Der Autor argumentiert dafür, dieser strategischen Verwundbarkeit mit dem Konzept der Strategischen Resilienz zu begegnen. Er analysiert detailliert die Schritte zu deren Aufbau durch materielle, soziale und psychologische Ressourcen und skizziert in einem Modell neun zentrale Handlungsfelder für die Politik. Dieses wird durch detaillierte Fallstudien aus Großbritannien und Singapur validiert und bietet praktische Handlungsempfehlungen für politische Entscheidungsträger, Sicherheitsexperten und Wissenschaftler, die sich mit gesellschaftlicher Resilienz und der Abschreckung von Terroristen befassen.
