How have our conceptions of politics changed, and how have these changes altered politics and its possibilities? These are the burning questions at one of the biggest campfires in political theory, and the answers are disputed as these three volumes show.

Menschenwürde wird oft als »absoluter Wert« bezeichnet, als »unantastbar« oder »unverfügbar«. Während die einen sie für eine zentrale Idee der Moral halten, weisen andere sie zurück: Weil nichts »absolut« und »unverfügbar« sei, könne es auch keine Menschenwürde geben. In diesem Band wird neben diesen Positionen erstmals eine dritte ausführlich diskutiert. Ihr zufolge ist die Menschenwürde bezüglich Genese und Geltung zwar zumindest zum Teil kontingent, was jedoch nicht zu ihrer Verabschiedung führen muss. Nötig scheint vielmehr eine Deutung, die den Dimensionen dieser Kontingenz Rechnung trägt. Mit Beiträgen von u. a. Rüdiger Bittner, Christian Neuhäuser, Peter Schaber und Ralf Stoecker.

The construction and the role of the economic canon, the accepted list of great works and great authors, has been the subject of much recent literary and historical debate. By contrast, the concept of the canon has been largely dormant in the study of the history of economics, with the canonical sequence of Smith, Ricardo, Marx, etc. constituting the skeleton for most teaching and research. This important collection represents the first critical attempt at exploring and defining the relationship between the canon and the construction of the history of economics

This exciting new study examines the role of British Abolition celebrations in the mobilization against American slavery in the Atlantic world between 1830 and 1860. Kerr-Ritchie's argument is constructed through an analysis of social, political, and cultural history. It offers the first major examination of an important black institution and contributes greatly to scholarship concerned with the need to think, write, and research in hemispheric, cross-national, and international ways. Kerr-Ritchie demonstrates how culture and community were and can be political.

Dr. Sherman P. Vinograd fulfilled the roles of Chief of Medical Science and Technology and Director of Biomedical Research at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) from the fall of 1961 until the spring of 1979. In this role he shaped, organized, and directed NASA's program of medical research as a funded program of studies, which was carried out in not only NASA Center laboratories, but also in university, industry, and other government laboratories and hospitals all over the country. It produced a large substrate of information through its bed rest studies, vestibular, bone, neuromuscular, hematology, and cardiovascular researches. It also produced valuable fall-out, such as an accurate bone density measurement technique which is now in common clinical use. ; His major activities during this career were conceptualizing, establishing, and chairing the Space Medicine Advisory Group (SPAMAG) charged with defining the earth-based and space-based research and life-support requirements for a manned orbiting research laboratory. This group designed a carefully planned study utilizing highly qualified, specialized members of the scientific community. They postulated a non-existent orbiting laboratory to be designed according to the needs of future human flight crews and requirements for human spaceflight information. This would result in the creation of Skylab. ; He was also responsible for establishing the In-flight Medical Experiments Program in preparation for the Apollo series of manned space flights. This program was a series of carefully designed flight crew studies derived from proposals by qualified scientists both from within and outside NASA to evaluate human responses to spaceflight. ; In addition, Dr. Vinograd developed a supportive Research and Development Program necessary to provide pertinent ground-based data and to advance state-of-the-art medical measurement technology, a major development of which was the Integrated Medical and Behavioral Laboratory Measurement System (IMBLMS). This consisted of medical experiments and accompanying equipment necessary to perform them that was used from the Gemini through the Skylab manned space flight programs. Carried aboard virtually any post-Apollo space vehicle by virtue of its rack and module design, these designs were used well into the future. He also fostered the continuing ground-based medical research program sponsored and/or conducted by NASA. ; The Dr. Sherman P. Vinograd Aerospace Exploration collection consists of artifacts, books, correspondence, financial materials, newspapers, photographs, plaques, printed materials, and reports relating to Dr. Vinograd's early life, his career as an M. D. prior to joining NASA, his years as a physician and researcher at NASA, and the other professional organizations and projects in which he was involved both during and after these periods. ; Box 8, Folder 16
