Ciudadanía y etnicidad en Bosnia y Herzegovina
La cuestión que se aborda en este libro se cuenta entre las más complejas que ha tenido que afrontar Europa en las últimas décadas. La paz firmada en Dayton en 1995 aún no ha logrado convertir a Bosnia y Herzegovina en un Estado funcional, integrador, eficaz e inequívocamente democrático. Sigue habiendo un problema bosnio, no tan sangriento como en otras épocas más o menos recientes de nuestra historia, pero en todo caso carente de solución, en cuya comprensión se centra este estudio. No hay futuro para Bosnia y Herzegovina que no pase por su efectiva integración en la Unión Europea. Y no hay lugar para Bosnia y Herzegovina en Europa si el país no abandona antes su estructura constitucional vigente y se encamina hacia la construcción de un Estado para todos los ciudadanos.
Das Zeichen der Vier
"Nichts ist trügerischer als eine offenkundige Tatsache" (Sherlock Holmes).
"Im Jahr 1878 hatte ich meinen Doktor an der Medizinischen Fakultät der Universität London gemacht und im Royal Victoria Military Hospital Netley die für Militärärzte vorgeschriebene medizinische Spezialausbildung absolviert." – So beginnt ein Mythos. Sir Arthur Conan Doyles Detektivgeschichten wurden oft kopiert, vielfach verfilmt und mehr als einmal fürs Fernsehen adaptiert. Aber woher rührt eigentlich die Faszination für den kühlen Logiker Sherlock Holmes und seinen Kompagnon Dr. Watson? Viermal ließ der britische Autor sein berühmtes Duo insgesamt auf Romanlänge ermitteln, jeder Band avancierte rasch zum Klassiker der Kriminalliteratur.
Der zweite Fall mit dem Originaltitel The Sign of Four erschien erstmalig 1890 in «Lippincott's Monthly Magazine». Er liegt hier in vollständiger Neuübersetzung von Susanne Luber vor. Dazu gibt's ein Kompendium zum Holmes-Kosmos mit einem Who's who, einer Einführung in den Kriminalroman von Joachim Kalka und einer Doyle-Chronik
Summa Theologica, Part I-II (Pars Prima Secundae)
Summa Theologica Part I-II (Pars Prima Secundae) Thomas Aquinas – The Summa Theologiae (Latin: Compendium of Theology or Theological Compendium; also subsequently called the Summa Theologica or simply the Summa, written 1265-1274) is the best-known work of Thomas Aquinas (c.1225-1274), and although unfinished, «one of the classics of the history of philosophy and one of the most influential works of Western literature.» It is intended as a manual for beginners in theology and a compendium of all of the main theological teachings of the Church. It presents the reasoning for almost all points of Christian theology in the West. The Summa's topics follow a cycle: the existence of God; Creation, Man; Man's purpose; Christ; the Sacraments; and back to God. (courtesy of wikipedia.com).
This is part 1-2, 'Pars Prima Secundae'.
In a chain of acts of will, man strives for the highest end. They are free acts, insofar as man has in himself the knowledge of their end (and therein the principle of action). In that the will wills the end, it wills also the appropriate means, chooses freely and completes the consensus. Whether the act be good or evil depends on the end. The «human reason» pronounces judgment concerning the character of the end; it is, therefore, the law for action. Human acts, however, are meritorious insofar as they promote the purpose of God and his honor.
By repeating a good action, man acquires a moral habit or a quality which enables him to do the good gladly and easily. This is true, however, only of the intellectual and moral virtues (which Aquinas treats after the manner of Aristotle); the theological virtues are imparted by God to man as a «disposition», from which the acts here proceed; while they strengthen, they do not form it. The «disposition» of evil is the opposite alternative. An act becomes evil through deviation from the reason, and from divine moral law.
Zwinglis gefährdetes Erbe
Zwingli steht für grundlegenden Wandel – aktiv vorangetrieben mit Worten und Taten. 1519 trat Ulrich Zwingli das Leutpriesteramt am Grossmünster an und läutete die Reformation ein. Innerhalb kurzer Zeit wurden auf dem Zürcher Stadt- und Landgebiet Klöster säkularisiert, das Zölibat aufgehoben, der Solddienst verboten und das Armenwesen erneuert. Die Reformation veränderte die wirtschaftlichen Voraussetzungen des Stadtstaates, der neue Glauben trug zu Zürichs Stellung als führender Wirtschaftsmacht bei. Doch bald waren einige der Errungenschaften gefährdet.
«Zwinglis gefährdetes Erbe» beleuchtet den Zürcher Alltag der Reformationsjahre. Die Aufhebung der Klöster, das Soldwesen und die Währungssysteme kommen ebenso zur Sprache wie die Stellung der Frau, das Almosenwesen oder Zwinglis Schreib- und Redeweise.

Filosofía on demand
Una buena serie de televisión puede estimular nuestra capacidad de cuestionar cualquier ámbito de la realidad conocida. La filosofía, a través del análisis de conceptos y de herramientas como la duda y las preguntas, apunta al mismo objetivo. Por eso, este libro conecta esta disciplina con uno de los productos culturales más consumidos en la actualidad. Siguiendo la estructura en episodios, en esta primera temporada Tomás Balmaceda se formula preguntas a partir de distintas series (algunas clásicas, otras más recientes) y reflexiona guiado por las ideas de grandes filósofos y filósofas de todos los tiempos. Así, un suceso o un personaje sirven para debatir problemas ampliamente planteados en la filosofía, como el libre albedrío o el sentido de la vida (y de la muerte), los dilemas que suscitan las nuevas tecnologías, o temas más mundanos como la acumulación de dinero o la amistad. Filosofía on demand es una invitación abierta a «filosofar» desde la experiencia de los contenidos de una serie de televisión, dejando de lado prejuicios y viejas creencias.
