George Berkeley (1685-1753), Bishop of Cloyne, was an Irish philosopher and divine who pursued a number of grand causes, contributing to the fields of economics, mathematics, political theory and theology. He pioneered the theory of 'immaterialism', and his work ranges over many philosophical issues that remain of interest today. This volume offers a complete and accurate edition of Berkeley's extant correspondence, including letters written both by him and to him, supplemented by extensive explanatory and critical notes. Alexander Pope famously said 'To Berkeley every virtue under heaven', and a careful reading of the letters reveals a figure worthy of admiration, sheds new light on his personal and intellectual life, and provides insight into the broad historical and philosophical currents of his time. The volume will be an invaluable resource for philosophers, modern historians and those interested in Anglo-Irish culture.

Inicialmente, a Grande Guerra foi recebida com euforia por muitos escritores e filósofos, entre eles Max Weber, Martin Buber, Max Scheler e também Georg Simmel. Para Simmel, a guerra era sinónimo de uma maior intensidade da vida, uma maneira de enfrentar / superar os nivelamentos da sociedade causados pela adoração do dinheiro ("Mammonismus"). Esta exaltação dos intelectuais perante a guerra não era comum a todos – conhecidas são as críticas duras de Georg Lucácz e Ernst Bloch ao entusiasmo bélico de Simmel. Sobre Stefan George, Simmel escreveu em 1901: "A sua arte é conhecida desde o início pelo desejo de agir exclusivamente como uma arte (.) a mudança fundamental é completa: que, ao contrário, todo o conteúdo é o mero meio para formar valores puramente estéticos." Assim, Simmel reconhece na estética de Stefan George a razão a partir da qual George vai rejeitar a guerra – ao contrário de muitos membros do círculo de George (George-Kreis) – e que tem a sua expressão no poema "A Guerra", publicado pela primeira vez em 1917. Este contributo pretende demonstrar as razões filosóficas e estéticas relativamente ao entusiasmo pela guerra e a sua rejeição por Simmel e George, atitudes que não podem ser explicadas pela oposição militarismo/pacifismo, normalmente utilizada para distinguir apoiantes e críticos da guerra. ; Initially, the Great War was received euphorically by many writers and philosophers, including Max Weber, Martin Buber and Max Scheler along with Georg Simmel. For Simmel, the war was synonimous with a greater pace of life, a form of dealing with / overcoming the levelling of society caused by the worshipping of money (´Mammonismus`). This exaltation of the war on the part of intellectuals was not common to all – the harsh criticisms of Simmel´s enthusiasm for the war on the part of Georg Lucácz and Ernst Bloch are well-known. Regarding Stefan George, in 1901 Simmel had written: ´His art has been known since its beginning for the wish to act exclusively like an art (.) the fundamental change is complete: ...

It will be recalled that on 13 December 1961, Georges Olivet, a delegate of the International Committee, died on Red Cross service. This took place in Katanga when, in the middle of the fighting, he tried to save the lives of those undergoing intensive fire. In this he did not succeed, made a further attempt, and that was the end. He was accompanied by two volunteers of the Katanga Red Cross, Nicole Vroonen and Styts Smeding who suffered the same fate.
