From the 1920s to the 1980s Oakeshott filled dozens of notebooks with his private reflections, both personal and intellectual. Their contents range from aphorisms to miniature essays, forming a unique record of his intellectual trajectory over his entire career. This volume makes them accessible in print for the first time, drawing together a host of his previously inaccessible observations on politics, philosophy, art, education, and much else besides. Religion in particular emerges as an o

Citation: Cooper, Allan Elizabeth. Michael Angelo. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1907. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: Most of our information concerning Michael Angelo has come through the biographies of him written by Condivi and Vasari. The most complete history of Michael Angelo, and his age, is that which was written by Herman Grimm the material being gathered from Condivi's and Vasari's biographies, Michael Angelo's letters and a very careful and complete study of his works. -- previous to Michael Angelo's birth, his father, Ludovico, received an appointment as Governor of the little fortified cities of Chiusi and Caprese situated on the , where he and his wife immediately repaired. Here on the 6th of March 1475. The child was born who received the name of Michael Angelo. This being the true orthography instead of the more usual one of Angelo. Two years later when his term expired Ludovico and his wife returned to Florence leaving the little Michael Angelo with the nurse on the Buonarroti estate, three miles outside of Florence. In these surroundings, he began to draw as soon as he could use his hands. His brothers were merchants and this being a more esteemed profession than painting, his uncle and father tried in every way to prevent him from becoming an artist, even resorting to punishment. However, they found it impossible to overcome his love for art so in April, 1488 his father signed a contract, by nature of which, he was articled to the masters Domenico and David Ghirlandaio for three years. He made rapid progress here and it soon became evident that he had surpassed his masters, in the knowledge of his art. It seemed imperative that he sever his connection with Ghirlandaio before the expiration of the three years and this was accomplished by his acquaintance with Lorenzo de' Medici who was at the head of the government at Florence.

Internet, film, television, and popular music are rather broad categories, each containing nutritious wheat and faddish
chaff. By "television," do we mean The Wire or Dancing with the Stars? By "Internet," do we mean amazon.com or
pornography? But without wasting space on a virtually endless inventory of such distinctions, I say, Embrace! On
balance, these are overwhelmingly liberating and progressive forces. At this point in history, I can't imagine that
there's even any argument about this. In fact, I thought it was more or less settled by the 1990s, let's say, that the
antique left-intellectual disdain for popular culture had been rather embarrassing. Go back and read, as I once did, the
initial grudging and snobbish assessments of The Beatles in the highbrow journals ("No Soul in Beatlesville," ran the
Nation's headline in March 1964).

Der Band versammelt die für die akademische Gedenkfeier für Michael Stolleis (1941-2021) am 24. Juni 2022 verfassten Vorträge. Sie würdigen die vielfältigen Facetten des Juristen und Historikers, des Wissenschaftlers wie des Hochschullehrers. Einige Aufsätze beleuchten im Anschluss an sein Werk die Wissenschaftsgeschichte des deutschen Völkerrechts oder die Geschichte des Kolonialrechts; andere stellen seine große Bedeutung für europäische Kolleginnen und Kollegen heraus. Doch alle Beiträge durchzieht ein Grundgedanke: dass Rechtsgeschichte und Rechtsgeschichten untrennbar zusammengehören, wie es Stolleis in seinem letzten Buch unter dem Titel recht erzählen (2021) meisterhaft vorführte. So halten persönliche Erinnerungen von Freunden und Wegbegleiter das Andenken an den einzigartigen Erzähler vom Recht fest. Auch Michael Stolleis selbst kommt noch einmal in einem wieder abgedruckten Gespräch über Väter, Bildungswege und Zeitgenossenschaft zu Wort.This volume presents the lectures written for the academic memorial service for Michael Stolleis (1941-2021) on June 24, 2022. They pay tribute to the many facets of the jurist and historian, the scientist as well as the university teacher. Tying in with his work, some essays shed light on the academic history of "German international law" or the history of colonial law; others highlight his great importance for European colleagues. Yet through all the contributions runs one basic idea: that legal history and legal histories inseparably belong together, as Stolleis masterfully demonstrated in his last book bearing the title "recht erzählen" (2021). Thus, personal recollections of friends and academic companions sustain the memory of an unique narrator of law. Michael Stolleis himself also has his say once again in a reprinted conversation about fathers, educational paths and contemporaneity

Michael Walzer is one of the world's most important political thinkers, whose major works, such as Spheres of Justice and Just and Unjust Wars, have transformed many central debates in contemporary political philosophy. In this book, Toby J. Reiner provides the most wide-ranging and up-to-date introduction to his work available. Reiner examines his writings on topics ranging from justice in war, humanitarian intervention and migration ethics to distributive justice, multiculturalism, and the political role of religion. Situating Walzer's thought in the intellectual environment of post-war American leftist politics, Reiner demonstrates the importance of his attempt to provide a social-democratic alternative to liberalism, Marxism, and post-modernism. He shows that Walzer has developed a novel approach to political theory based on the thesis that human communities construct the values that give meaning to their lives, giving his work a significance that goes well beyond political theory, into political and social science more broadly.

The English philosopher Michael Oakeshott (1901-1990) is known as a conservative who rejected philosophically ambitious rationalism and the grand political ideologies of the twentieth century on the grounds that no human ideas have ultimately reliable foundations. Instead, he embraced tradition and habit as the guides to moral and political life. In this book, Aryeh Botwinick presents an original account of Oakeshott's skepticism about foundations, an account that newly reveals the unity of his thought

Michael Walzer responds to James Rules' piece on Iraq.
