"This volume offers a critical re-assessment of the thought of Ernst Bloch, best-known for his groundbreaking study The Principle of Hope and one of the most significant European thinkers and public intellectuals of the twentieth century. It explores Bloch's life, work and reception; his debt to Marx and Hegel; his central concepts of hope and utopia; his affinities with philosophers such as Gramsci and Zizek; and his radical reframing of our understanding of history, society and culture. Above all, this volume examines the relevance of Bloch's ideas today, in a world still shot through with economic inequality and social injustice. Contributors are: Agata Bielik-Robson, Ivan Boldyrev, Henk de Berg, Sam Dolbear, Vincent Geoghegan, Holger Glinka, Loren Goldman, Douglas Kellner, Cat Moir, Jan Rehmann, Nina Rismal, Johan Siebers, and Peter Thompson"--

"Originally known for his groundbreaking work in literary studies, the Bulgarian-born French scholar Tzvetan Todorov (1939-2017) was one of the world's foremost cultural theorists. His interventions cover an astounding range of topics, from narratology to ethics, from painting to politics, and from the Enlightenment to current affairs. Written by an international team of experts, this volume - the first-ever comprehensive examination of Todorov as a cultural critic - discusses the crucial elements of his work as well as his place in European thought"--

Niklas Luhmann hat eine soziologische Theorie entwickelt, die alle wichtigen Funktionsbereiche der Gesellschaft behandelt und damit in ein Konkurrenzverhältnis zu solchen Beschreibungen tritt, die in wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen angefertigt werden, welche sich auf die Beobachtung je eines gesellschaftlichen Funktionssystems spezialisiert haben. Diese Fachdisziplinen sind durch spezifische Loyalitäten zu ihren eigenen Traditionen sowie zu dem Operieren ihres jeweiligen Funktionsbereichs gekennzeichnet, so dass eine einfache Übernahme der soziologischen Fremdbeschreibung unwahrscheinlich ist. Auf der Grundlage dieser von der Luhmann'schen Gesellschaftsheorie selbst nahe gelegten Annahme wird in dem vorliegenden Band die Resonanz der soziologischen Systemtheorie außerhalb der Soziologie diskutiert. - Schmidt, Johannes F.K.: Die Differenz der Beobachtung Kieserling, André: Die Soziologie der Selbstbeschreibung Ziegert,Klaus A.: Rechtstheorie, Reflexionstheorien des Rechtssystems und die Eigenwertproduktion des Rechts Göbel, Andreas: Politikwissenschaft und Gesellschaftstheorie Berg, Henk de: Kunst kommt von Kunst Dallmann, Hans-Ulrich: Von Wortübernahmen, produktiven Missverständnissen und Refelxionsgewinnen Kaube, Jürgen: Wechselwirkungslosigkeit Corsi, Giancarlo: Zwischen Irritation und Indifferenz Clam, Jean: Unbegegnete Theorie Werber, Niels: Medien der Evolution Simon, Fritz B.: Name dropping Bauch, Jost: Selbst-und Fremdbeschreibung des Gesundheitswesens Hellmann, Kai-Uwe: ".. und ein größeres Stück Landschaft mit den erloschenen Vulkanen des Marxismus" Scherr, Albert: Luhmanns Systemtheorie als soziologisches Angebot an Refelexionstheorien der Sozialen Arbeit Dammann, Klaus: Luhmannianische und Luhmannesque Gedanken in der Verwaltungsreflexion.
