2. vermehrte Aufl., 1922, has title: "Es War alles Ganz anders." ; Charakteristiken.--Aus dem politischen und gesellschaftlichen Leben zur Zeit Wilhelms II. ; Mode of access: Internet.

"Am Beginn steht die Frage, ob angesichts der Tendenz von Theorien über die menschliche Natur sich in self fulfilling prophecies zu verwandeln (von Herrschaftsideologien absorbiert zu werden) die Frage nach ihrer Wahrheit von der Beantwortung der Frage ihrer gesellschaftlichen Konsequenzen abhängig gemacht werden soll. Anhand des Verhaltensbiologen Eibl-Eibesfeldt, der zu einem den politischen Einwanderungsdiskurs mitgestaltenden Akteur wird, wird das Verschmelzen von Wissenschaft und Politik demonstriert. Als Gegenstrategie zu ideologischer Vereinnahmung wird der Verhaltensbiologie statt Rückzug auf 'Wissenschaftlichkeit' die Teilnahme an einem öffentlichen Diskurs, den Sozialwissenschaften hingegen eine Öffnung gegenüber der Verhaltensbiologie empfohlen. Ein Einblick in den Stand von Theorie und Forschung zeigt, daß - ohne die Idee der menschlichen Natur aufzugeben - eine Entkräftung der Thesen möglich ist." (Autorenreferat)

Abstract: The broad contours of the doctrine of election and predestination from the second to the fifth centuries involve a decided shift from a fundamentally corporate conception to a fundamentally individual conception, from the election of the Church as a visible whole to the election of a hidden few, from election as the context of salvation to election as identified with salvation and destiny, from a fundamentally temporal and historical framework to a fundamentally eternal and ahistorical framework, from predestination being subsumed under election to election being subsumed under predestination, from an inclusive yet particular people to an exclusive aggregate, from the supposition of the historic and continuing election of Israel to the implicit denial of the election of Israel as a people, and finally from the Church as God's chosen nation to the Roman Empire as taking over or at least sharing in the political dimension of the Church's election.
