Explores the implications of Gillian Rose's social & political theory of modernity. For Rose, modernity not only construes "the autonomous moral subject as free within the order of representations & unfree within its preconditions & outcomes," it is also "the working out of that combination" (1996). Focus is on how Rose tackled the aporias & contradictions of modern sociology & social theory, concluding that (1) Rose retrieves the absolute as fundamental to the meaning of social & political critique, & (2) in the face of demands for radical political action, not least in Karl Marx's 11th thesis on Anselm Ritter von Feuerbach, it is the religious dimension of political experience that has been consistently overlooked. It is argued that, in her concept of "the broken middle," Rose does not overcome the gap between theory & practice, but she does comprehend it as a way of life, one characterized by human struggling & failing. This way of life calls society to "mind the gap.". 20 References. Adapted from the source document.

Der Band diskutiert und erweitert den aktuellen Forschungsstand zu militärischen Interventionen. Hierbei werden sowohl Fragen der Legitimität von Interventionen als auch ihrer Durchführung sowie spezifischer Akteure betrachtet. Der Band gliedert sich in drei bewusst interdisziplinär angelegte Teile mit jeweils eigenem thematischem Schwerpunkt. Teil I widmet sich der Frage, wann eine Intervention legitim ist und, so sie erfolgt, wie sie durchgeführt werden sollte. Teil II geht darauf aufbauend der Frage nach, ob, und wenn ja, warum die hohen Hürden, die für Interventionen bestehen, eine Berechtigung haben. Teil III schließlich stellt die Frage nach relevanten Akteuren und danach, wer intervenieren sollte sowie welche Bevölkerungsgruppen nach Ende des Konflikts in den Wiederaufbau einbezogen werden sollten.Mit Beiträgen vonChristopher Beuter, Enrico Fels, Anna Goppel, Bob Sugeng Hadiwinata, Matthias Heise, Goetz Herrmann, Zarifa Mamedova, Christian Neuhäuser, Kathrin Rucktäschel, Steve Schlegel, Reinhold Schmücker, Chrisoph Schuck, Uwe Steinhoff, Andreas Vasilache, Sylvia Yazid.

AbstractI argue that from its beginning environmental philosophy has held two contrasting views of Eastern thought and of Indian philosophical and religious ideas in particular. Utilising the insights of Edward Said and others I find that these contrasting images are reflective of a duality according to which India has been constituted in Western discourse. I argue that these Western images of India remain a significant feature of writing concerning environmental ethics to the present time. As it appears in some recent scholarship in environmental ethics, this discourse remains an obstacle to an informed appreciation of the significance of Indian thought and of Asian thought more generally for environmental philosophy.

ABSTRACT
Immasculation, Judith Fetterley's neologism, describes how male-coded language usages dominate the teaching of literature. In science and philosophy as well, male-coded uses of language have created innacurate senses of what scientists have studied in nature and in how we understand nature.
