"Written in code under constant threat of battle, Wittgenstein's searing and illuminating diaries finally emerge in this first-ever English translation. During the pandemic, Marjorie Perloff, one of our foremost scholars of global literature, found her mind ineluctably drawn to the profound commentary on life and death in the wartime diaries of eminent philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). Upon learning that these notebooks, which richly contextualize the early stages of his magnum opus, the Tractatus-Logico-Philosophicus, had never before been published in English, the Viennese-born Perloff determinedly set about translating them. Beginning with the anxious summer of 1914, this historic, en-face edition presents the first-person recollections of a foot soldier in the Austrian Army, fresh from his days as a philosophy student at Cambridge, who must grapple with the hazing of his fellow soldiers, the stirrings of a forbidden sexuality, and the formation of an explosive analytical philosophy that seemed to draw meaning from his endless brushes with death. Much like Tolstoy's The Gospel in Brief, Private Notebooks takes us on a personal journey to discovery as it augments our knowledge of Wittgenstein himself"--

Think tanks are institutions that create knowledge which influence public opinion & policy making processes. In fact, neoliberalism can look back on a long tradition in this respect. Beginning with the Mont Pelerin Society, founded by the Austrian economist & philosopher Friedrich v. Hayek in 1947, there arised fust in England, then in other countries numerous institutions whose intention were to oppose the Keynesean afterward consensus. Hayek called Western democracies "unrestricted democracies" that would be inconsistent with a liberal order. In his view they would finally lead to "The Road to Serfdom," that is the title of his famous book published in 1944. The Viennese Hayek Institute wants to support the worldwide renaissance of the Austrian School of Economics & tries to make its ideas useful for public affairs activities. Starting with giving an overview of the basic ideas of Hayek the article first outlines the neoliberal think tank scene on a broad scale, also in a historical perspective, & tries to evaluate the significance of the Austrian School within this network; then it deals with the activities of the Hayek Institute & analyzes the connections with both national economic & political elites & a transnational neoliberal community.

Hayek's work can be located halfway between the liberal and conservative thesis. However, many of its exegete emphasize the first of these aspects and come to devalue its conservative imprint, or even go without it. Herein may have influenced the fact that Hayek's himself works to mark the distance with conservatism. The objective of this analysis is to highlight that other side of the famous Austrian-British philosopher, in order to contribute to the overall picture offered by his legacy to be more in line with reality.

The German-Austrian social theorist and philosopher Leo Kofler (1907-1995) represents what Oskar Negt once called ?unmutilated, living Marxism?. Throughout his life he dealt with issues of history and modernity, Marxist philosophy and the critique of ideology, philosophical anthropology and aesthetics. In this volume, author and Kofler biographer Christoph Jünke elucidates the contours of his philosophy of praxis, traces an arc from the socialist classics to postmodernism, and outlines the socialist humanist thinker?s enduring relevance. The book also includes six essays by Leo Kofler published in English for the first time.00The main work was first published in German as 'Leo Koflers Philosophie der Praxis: Eine Einführung in sein Denken' by Laika Verlag, 2015
