Nine experts on Cold War history offer commentaries about John Lewis Gaddis's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of George F. Kennan, the first head of the U.S. State Department's Policy Planning Staff. The commentators come from several countries and offer a wide range of perspectives about Gaddis's George F. Kennan: An American Life, published by Penguin Books in 2011. Although most of the commentators express highly favorable assessments of the book, they also raise numerous points of criticism. Two of the commentators, Barton J. Bernstein and Anders Stephanson, present extended critiques of Gaddis's biography. The forum concludes with a reply by Gaddis to all the commentaries, especially those by Bernstein and Stephanson.

The president's domestic policy agenda is the starting point for the yearly give-&-take between presidents & Congress. It also reflects the president's efforts to achieve good public policy, reelection, & historical achievement. This paper extends research that has explored the president's domestic policy agenda to the George W. Bush Administration by cataloging the size, length, & importance of Bush's yearly domestic policy agenda priorities. Supplemented with three case studies on education, social security, & charitable choice policies, this paper demonstrates the necessity of moving fast & having public support to explaining the content & ultimate success of George W. Bush's yearly legislative domestic policy agendas. Adapted from the source document.

Georg Simmel (1858-1918) ist nicht nur einer der zentralen Begründer der Soziologie, sondern trug auch eine einflussreiche Ästhetik vor. Dabei ist Simmels Ansatz doppelt ausgerichtet: Der säkular gearbeiteten und bis heute höchst erfolgreichen soziologischen Ästhetik, die sich am Konzept sozialer Wechselwirkung orientiert, steht eine in ihrem Gesamtprofil bisher nicht erfasste, emphatische Kunstphilosophie kulturalistischer Prägung gegenüber, die Artefakte als Schauseite der Metaphysik im Modus einer spezifischen Weltgründungskunst versteht.0Die vorliegende Arbeit diskutiert Eigenart und Verhältnis dieser beiden Ästhetiken und leitet so über zu einer exemplarischen Würdigung von Simmels eminenten Wirkungen in Kunstgeschichte, liberalkonservativer Kulturkritik und früher Frankfurter Schule.0Negation der Arbeitsteilung, Formwerdung als kreativistische Entäusserung schlechthin der ?Seele? sowie Werk- als Wirkungsästhetik von Bedeutungsintensität sind 'Leitbegriffe', mittels derer Simmels Denken radikaler Autonomie der Kunst sortiert und in ihren Chancen und Grenzen um 1900 erfasst wird

Looks at the possibilities and limits of the eighteenth-century way of thinking about 'the other'. The work of the anthropologist, Georg Forster, shows the ambivalence he felt about his 'civilised' culture in the face of 'primitive' alternatives, and the conceptual equipment he had available to understand alien cultures.
