Norske partier og velgere beskriver og analyserer de toneangivende norske partiene fra starten av i 1880-årene fram til i dag. Bokas mål er å binde sammen historie og valgforskning. Nesten to av tre velgere stemte i 2021 på partier som var hundre år eller eldre. Men om partinavnene er de samme, har partienes budskap endret seg. De tilpasser seg nye tider og nye konflikter, endrer profil og kommer dermed nye partier i forkjøpet. Partiene har etterlatt seg mange spor. Valgresultatene er omhyggelig registrert, og i kombinasjon med hvor partiene stiller lister, kan regionale profiler tegnes. I 1949 kom den første samfunnsvitenskapelige kartlegging av partivalg. I 1957 gikk startskuddet for de regelmessige stortingsvalgundersøkelsene som Henry Valen og Stein Rokkan sto bak, og fra 1995 ble de supplert med regelmessige lokalvalgundersøkelser. Datatilfanget i denne boka inkluderer også Norsk Monitors sosiokulturelle undersøkelser fra 1985 til 2021. De omfattende og gode datagrunnlaget i denne boka åpner for å studere velgerne i detalj etter en mengde ulike egenskaper. Boka er skrevet for studenter og andre som er opptatt av norsk partihistorie og valgforskning, og er en interessant og tilgjengelig framstilling av norske partiers framvekst og utvikling over en lang historisk periode

"René Descartes's Regulae ad directionem ingenii ('Rules for the Direction of the Understanding') is his earliest surviving philosophical treatise, and in many respects his most puzzling text. It is a profoundly original work with few intellectual precursors, and offers the fullest account anywhere in Descartes's work of his theory of method. Yet Descartes left it unfinished, and unpublished, at his death in 1650. The versions currently known to modern readers are all posthumous: a manuscript copied for Leibniz in the late seventeenth century, a Dutch translation of 1684, and the version printed in 1701 in Amsterdam. As a result, the details and date of its composition, its fragmentary, unfinished state, and its philosophical content have long puzzled scholars. The discovery by Richard Serjeantson in 2011 of a previously unknown, early manuscript draft of the Regulae in Cambridge University Library was a hugely significant event in Cartesian scholarship. This edition presents the Cambridge manuscript of the Regulae alongside the 1701 Amsterdam version of the text to allow comparison between the early manuscript draft and the version best-known to modern readers, together with a full English translations of both texts. It is also the first critical edition of the Regulae to take into account the full range of textual witnesses to the text, both manuscript and printed. The new Cambridge manuscript sheds important light on the composition, date, and philosophical content of the Regulae, and will provoke scholars to rethink key questions about Descartes's early philosophical development

"The author focuses on one of the most fascinating texts of the 17th and 18th century China mission - the Tianxue benyi (The Original Meaning of the Heavenly Teachings) and the more elaborate Gujin jingtian jian (Mirror on the Worship of Heaven in Ancient Times and Nowadays), both written and compiled by the Jesuit Joachim Bouvet (1656-1730) with the assistance of Chinese converts. The two works were even translated into Latin in order to support the Jesuit position in the Chinese Rites Controversy in the Roman Curia. Through them, Bouvet presented the Jesuit missionary strategy of accommodation in a nutshell: He aimed at introducing Christianity in the terms of Chinese traditional culture. Thus, Bouvet's approach can be characterised as an early attempt at a contextualized theology which is meaningful even for contemporary discussions. The present study offers an introduction to Bouvet's thoughts and works and their respective historical and theological context, a transcription of the Latin texts - the Cœlestis Disciplinæ vera notitia and the De cultu cœlesti Sinarum veterum & modernorum - with an annotated German translation"--
