During the period of the Enlightenment, the word home could refer to a specific and defined physical living space, the location of domestic life, and a concept related to ideas of roots, origins, and retreat. The transformations that the Enlightenment encouraged created the circumstances for the concept of home to change and develop in the following three ways. First to influence homemaking were the literary and cultural manifestations that included issues around attitudes to education, social order and disorder, sensibility, and sexuality. Secondly, were the roles of visual and material culture of the home that demonstrated themselves through print, portraiture, literature, objects and products, and dress and fashion. Thirdly, were the industrial and sociological aspects that included concepts of luxury, progress, trade and technology, consumption, domesticity, and the notions of public and private spaces within a home.The chapters in this volume therefore discuss and reflect upon issues relating to the home through a range of approaches. Enlightenment homes are examined in terms of signification and meaning; the persons who inhabited them; the physical buildings and their furniture and furnishings; the work undertaken within them; the differing roles of men and women; the nature of hospitality, and the important role of religion in the home. Taken together they give a valuable overview of the manners, customs, and operation of the Enlightenment home

Seit dem Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts lässt sich ein neues Verteilungs- und Versorgungssystem beobachten, in dessen Rahmen gebrauchte oder überschüssige Waren in Sozialkaufhäusern, Lebensmittelausgaben und Tafeln jeden Tag an Hunderttausende von 'armen' und 'bedürftigen' Personen weitergegeben werden.Hat sich mit dieser »neuen Mitleidsökonomie« parallel zum Wohlfahrtsstaat ein neues System der Armutsbekämpfung etabliert? Dieser Band stellt erstmals empirische Erkenntnisse über die Ausprägungen der neuen Mitleidsökonomie vor und diskutiert ihre sozialpolitische Verortung im bundesdeutschen Kontext.

Since the original publication of The Death of Expertise, the assault on experts has only ratcheted up. Numerous forces have driven the increase, including a deepening of populist anti-intellectualism, a notable rise in conspiratorial thinking, and the hostile reaction to the medical establishment during the Covid pandemic. Trump and Trumpism, of course, have also played an outsized role, and social media continues to fan the flames. In this new edition, Tom Nichols covers the latest developments in the past half dozen years. Along with updating all the chapters, he has added a chapter on the Covid pandemic. Arguably the most influential book written on the attack on expertise in our era, this new edition is sure to remain the standard book on the subject.
