FRENCH, MARILYN. Shakespeare's division of experience. New York: Summit Books, 1981, 1st printing number line ending with 1, 376pp., . William Shakespeare regarded men and women quite differently. In his early plays, the so-called masculine qualities of prowess, bravery, and individualism were accorded more respect than "feminine" attributes of mercy, compassion, and intuitiveness. Yet, in his later plays, there is evidence of a reversal in Shakespeare's attitudes, a new fear of the power of the masculine principle and new admiration for the feminine. Marilyn French offers a feminist perspective on each of Shakespeare's plays. More than a brilliantly original literary interpretation, this fascinating volume provides penetrating insight into attitudes toward men, women, love, and power in Western culture. - CONTENTS: Gender principles -- Formal equivalents of the gender principles -- Power : the first tetralogy -- Marriage -- Constancy -- Money -- Realm of emotion -- Chaste constancy -- Problem plays -- Chaos come again : ideals banished -- Late tragedies -- New sythesis : Romances. 9780671448653 ISBN 067144865X.…

Aug. 2002. DAHRENDORF, RALF. Über Grenzen: Lebenserinnerungen. München: Beck, 2002, 189pp., . Ralf Dahrendorf (Jg. 1929), Sozialwissenschaftler, liberaler Politiker und zeitkritischer Intellektueller, erinnert sich an seine Kindheit und Jugend in der Weimarer Republik und im Nazi-Deutschland, an seine Studienjahre nach dem Krieg und den Beginn seiner Karriere. / Ralf Dahrendorf, geboren 1929, lehrte Soziologie in Hamburg, Tübingen und Konstanz, ab 1974 an der London School of Economics und bis 1997 in Oxford. Seit 1993 ist er Mitglied des britischen Oberhauses. In seinen Lebenserinnerungen beschreibt er in erster Linie seine Kindheit und Jugend in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus seine Studien in Nachkriegsdeutschland und im Ausland und die ersten beruflichen Erfolge als Journalist und Wissenschaftler, die mit der Berufung auf einen Lehrstuhl für Soziologie an der Akademie für Gemeinwirtschaft in Hamburg (als 29-Jähriger!) einen frühen Höhepunkt erreichten. Immer wieder geht der Blick aber auch auf spätere Ereignisse und Begegnungen, quasi als Verlängerung in eine aus dem Blickwinkel des 28-Jährigen noch unbekannte Zukunft. Man erfährt viel über die Zeit und die gesellschaftlichen Umstände, vor allem aber über das Heranreifen einer großen Persönlichkeit, eines brillanten Wissenschaftlers und politischen Zeitgenossen, dem Freiheit und Toleranz wesentliche Werte sind. Ein überaus sympathisches und ehrliches Buch - nicht nur für soziologisch Interessierte. (Gerhard König-Kurowski). 9783406493386 ISBN 3406493386.…

dust-jacket with tiny light stain along bottom edge, apparent only from reverse, otherwise looks great, fresh attractive copy, light green cloth. DAHRENDORF, RALF. Versuchungen der Unfreiheit: die Intellektuellen in Zeiten der Prüfung. München: Beck, 2006, 239pp., . Warum sind so viele Intellektuelle des 20. Jahrhunderts Faschismus und Kommunismus in die Arme gelaufen Das Spektrum der Antworten auf diese oft gestellte Frage reicht von Opportunismus und Karrierestreben bis zum Idealismus der Überzeugungstäter. Doch läßt sich die Frage auch umkehren: Warum haben manche allen Versuchungen der Unfreiheit widerstanden Was war ihnen eigen, das den Idealisten und Opportunisten abging Ralf Dahrendorf lotet in seinem neuen Buch eine Fülle von beispielhaften Biographien aus, um die Ursachen für die Unversuchbarkeit des liberalen Geistes freizulegen: Karl Popper, Isaiah Berlin, Raymond Aron und Norberto Bobbio, Hannah Arendt, Theodor W. Adorno und George Orwell treten auf - aber auch kontrastierende Persönlichkeiten wie Martin Heidegger und Ernst Jünger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Manes Sperber, Arthur Koestler oder Georg Lukács.Das Resultat ist eine Tugendlehre der Freiheit, die über die Zeiten hinaus Gültigkeit beanspruchen kann. Erasmus von Rotterdam ist gleichsam der Prototyp dieser 'Erasmus-Menschen', einer Geisteshaltung, die weder innere Emigration erlaubt noch zum Widerstandskämpfer tauglich macht, aber mit der Besonnenheit der 'engagierten Beobachtung' und der Weisheit der leidenschaftlichen Vernunft über einen Kompaß verfügt, der die Erasmier auch durch solche Zeiten navigiert, in denen andere Geister häufig Schiffbruch erleiden. Dahrendorf wäre nicht Dahrendorf, wenn dabei nicht mehr herauskäme als eine historische Betrachtung. Seine brillante Anamnese des 'liberal mind' ist zugleich eine politische Ethik - nicht nur für Intellektuelle. ISBN 9783406540547.…
