Goethe His Life and Times

Goethe His Life and Times

The study of Goethe's life is a task that each generation must undertake anew. Thus writes Richard Friedenthal author of this rich biography. Spanning eight momentous decades of war revolution and social upheaval Goethe's life reveals itself as one of conflict and dynamic development of inner contradiction and unceasing creativity. As novelist dramatist and poet Goethe produced epochal works of fiery romanticism only later to dedicate himself to a classical ideal of purity and measure. His superb love lyrics immortalize a succession of ardent relationships; yet in him too was a strain of frigid egotism mingled with an Olympian detachment. The new introduction serves to place in perspective this outstanding work on the German master. He was capable of tirelessly exploring the external world as physiologist geologist and botanist. He was equally capable of plunging to the depths of profound subjective analysis. A minister of state a model of distinguished probity Goethe nonetheless lived a life of passionate seeking eternally questioning official values. Nothing perhaps better sums up this vast complexity than his lifelong work Faust the supreme dramatization of man's quest on earth. | Goethe His Life and Times

Interpreting Residential Life Values to Practise

Interpreting Residential Life Values to Practise

First published in 1989 Interpreting Residential Life raises questions like – a) what makes residential establishments tick b) what is going on beneath the surface of the daily routine c) why is change so difficult to create and even more difficult to sustain and d) how can residential social workers evaluate their work? James Atherton provides a set of tools to enable residential workers to answer these questions in their own establishments. Simply and directly he provides a framework which shows how policy and practice relate to each other and reinforce or hinder each other in crises as well as in routines. He examines the whole residential establishment as a social system concentrating on daily life within it and demonstrating how values are implicit in all aspects of practice. He draws on the experiences of residential staff at all levels to uncover the working myths and offers ways of understanding how establishments function and indicates the pathways to change. This is an essential read for students of social work and sociology. | Interpreting Residential Life Values to Practise

Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

Values and Technology Religion and Public Life

In 1749 Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on the Arts and Sciences surprised leading Enlightenment thinkers who had enthusiastically upheld the positive benefits of humanity's technological advance. Voltaire who celebrated the ends of civilization mocked Rousseau's praise for an original creative state of nature in which man enjoyed an optimum level of freedom. Given the unprecedented intrusion of technology into our lives the question raised by Rousseau's critique may be even more pertinent. In this volume of Religion and Public Life contributors address some of the challenges to conventional morality brought on by the technological augmentation of the social structure. John Barker's essay explores how Luciano Floridi's philosophy of technology has complicated the conventional way of determining what ought to receive moral consideration. Fani Zlatarova provides a practical guide for incorporating ethical components into teaching computer technology. Grant Havers explores the controversies surrounding the biogenetic explosion through an examination of the competing philosophical perspectives and Christopher Vassilopolos examines the science-based justification for taking life. Gabriel R. Ricci looks at recent political history in the United States in order to highlight the sometimes uneasy relationship between science and social policy. Volume 37 is a welcome addition to the acclaimed Religion and Public Life series. | Values and Technology Religion and Public Life
