Der englische Philosoph John Locke (1632-1704) hat sich mit der Begrenztheit des menschlichen Denkens und mit Problemen der politischen Freiheit und des religiösen Friedens befaßt. Seine politische Theorie hat die Welt verändert: Er hat gegen den Absolutismus argumentiert und die Theorie eines freien Staates entwickelt, der durch Vertrag mit freien Bürgern entsteht sowie Gewaltenteilung praktiziert. Angesichts der Zerrissenheit der Christen hält Locke Einheit und Frieden auf dem Boden der Vernunft für möglich: Was über den vernünftigen Kern des Christentums hinausgeht, muß dem Gewissen des Einzelnen überlassen bleiben. Locke gilt als Wegbereiter einer liberalen Wirtschaftspolitik und der späteren Whig-Partei. Rainer Specht beschreibt Leben, Werk und Wirkung Lockes vor dem Hintergrund seiner Zeit und zeigt Lockes Beziehungen zur mittelalterlichen und neuzeitlichen Philosophie.

This article considers recent films by the artist John Akomfrah (b. 1957, Ghana). It argues that Vertigo Sea, The Airport, and Purple exemplify a new phase of black British art production. While building on the methods and themes that characterize his time with the Black Audio Film Collective, these projects exemplify ways in which diasporic histories provide crucial insights into the early twenty-first century—notably around questions of national sovereignty, spaces of flow and mobility, and human interventions in shared ecosystems. Ultimately, these films present a way of "doing history," a form of visual genealogy Akomfrah calls "an essay" that is suited to a landscape in which fixed temporal or spatial narratives are no longer adequate.

A century after John Muir's death, Glen MacDonald examines his legacy and argues that while Muir's message of the value of wilderness to society might need to evolve for a twenty-first century audience, it is still relevant. For instance, Muir believed in the transformative power of visiting remote wildernesses such as Yosemite and urged everyone to do so, and his conception of nature preservation as preserving nature in a specific moment in time is now understood to be misguided. His specific prescriptions for relating to the natural world now seem old-fashioned, but his core values and his passion for getting Californians out in nature is just as important today, whether those natural places are national parks or city parks.
