"The Eighteenth century is one of the most important periods in the history of Western philosophy, witnessing the philosophical, scientific, religious, and social and political change of the Enlightenment on a massive scale. In spite of this, there are few overviews of the philosophy of the period as a whole. The Routledge Companion to Eighteenth Century Philosophy is an authoritative survey and assessment of this momentous period, covering major thinkers, topics and movements in Eighteenth century philosophy. The thirty-six specially commissioned chapters by a team of international contributors offer an extensive treatment of the Enlightenment, metaphysics and religion, mind, knowledge, perception, passions, morals, politics and aesthetics. A section on Philosophy and the Arts and Sciences shows the connections between philosophy and other areas of inquiry, and the final part is devoted to major figures of the period: Hume, Kant, and Rousseau. The Routledge Companion to Eighteenth Century Philosophy provides students of philosophy and those from related disciplines with an outstanding and accessible guide to this fascinating period in the history of philosophy"--

Die Piraten zogen schon früh das mediale Interesse auf sich und fallen seit ihrer Gründung immer wieder durch diverse Aktionen auf, über die die Medien gerne berichten. Doch derzeit befinden sich die Piraten in einer medialen Ebbe, da das Interesse um die jungen Wilden des deutschen Parteiensystems stark zurückgegangen ist. In dieser Untersuchung wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob sich die deutschen Piraten bereits im Prozess des Kenterns befinden. Um diese Frage zu erörtern, werden in verschiedenen Kapiteln unterschiedliche Aspekte, wie die Gründung der Partei, innerparteiliche Demokratie oder Organisation sowie die Wähler- und Sympathisantenstruktur präsentiert, erläutert und dann im Schlusskapitel in den Kontext eingebettet.

Since colonization, dominant ideologies of «race» have been visualized and communicated through advertising. At its core, this book delineates the continuities and changes in what is termed the «colonial racial script» within global advertising representations. The origins of that script are traced back to the eighteenth century – through the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the age of High Imperialism, the post-World War II era to the current stage of globalization – and are identified and analyzed. From ads selling slaves to the ones promoting the ideal of equality, from the campaigns generating new racial currencies to the ones turning down the existing racist overtones, Linda C. L. Fu examines over 100 advertisements and draws on a 300-year span of references to reveal the plurality, chaos, variation, and resilience of the colonial concepts of race in society through advertising discourses in the West. Advertising and Race is the first book devoted exclusively to the study of strategic deployments of racial tropes in advertising amid waves of historical challenges. With a well-mixed theoretical, historical, social, and professional narrative, it presents a new approach, critical insight, and a comprehensive reference for the study of advertising and communication, as well as the study of race, society, culture, and globalization

"From the moment radiation was discovered in the late nineteenth century, nuclear science has had a rich history of innovative scientific exploration and discovery, coupled with mistakes, accidents, and downright disasters. Mahaffey, a long-time advocate of continued nuclear research and nuclear energy, looks at each incident in turn and analyzes what happened and why, often discovering where scientists went wrong when analyzing past meltdowns."--
