Abstract

Thomas Alva Edison revolutionized daily life as few people before or after him have done. The light bulb, the phonograph, motion pictures--through these and countless other technological marvels Edison left an indelible mark on the modern world. Although he had little formal education, Edisonshowed a remarkable talent for practical science as a teenager and was only in his early twenties when he launched his inventing career. In 1876, he established the world's first industrial research laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, and within six years he and his assistants had developed a light-and-power system that amazed the world. For more than half a century, Edison remained active and involved in science and invention. Upon Edison's death in 1931, President Herbert Hoover asked the nation to dim its lights in tribute to the inventor.

Abstract

Die Buddenbrooks essen, Joachim Ziemßen ißt, Peeperkorn frißt, Joseph läßt essen, Adrian Leverkühn ißt, Gregorius ißt. Die Reihe ließe sich fortsetzen. In allen Romanen Thomas Manns spielen Essensszenen eine bedeutungstragende Rolle. Sie bedienen nicht nur den Hunger. Sie problematisieren den Appetit, den Willen, das Streben, den Austausch mit der Natur, dem Anderen, letztlich dem Göttlichen. Die "Götterspeise" geht dieser ebenso abgründigen wie ironischen Geschichte der Ernährung und der Mahlzeiten nach, indem sie den Bedeutungshorizont genealogisiert. Das heißt, sie beginnt mit den antiken Mysterienkulten, geht über das platonische Gastmahl und das christliche Abendmahl, über Ludwig Feuerbach und Heinrich Heine über zur vollen Ausfaltung des Themas bei Thomas Mann. Ein Ausblick in die alimentären Notstandsgeschichten Thomas Bernhards beschließt die Arbeit. Reibungslos und opferfrei, so die leitende These, ist kein Essen. Kein Austausch ohne Opfer. Das lehren die Helden der Mannschen Romane. In dieser Hinsicht ist das vorliegende Buch keine literaturwissenschaftliche Dekonstruktion, sondern eine Art Dekonsumtion bekannter und übersehener Mahl-Szenen im Werk Thomas Manns.

Abstract

Quentin Skinner presents a fundamental reappraisal of the political theory of Hobbes. Using, for the first time, the full range of manuscript as well as printed sources, it documents an entirely new view of Hobbes's intellectual development, and re-examines the shift from a humanist to a scientific culture in European moral and political thought. By examining Hobbes's philosophy against the background of his humanist education, Professor Skinner rescues this most difficult and challenging of political philosophers from the intellectual isolation in which he is so often discussed. This book presents a splendid exemplification of the 'Cambridge' contextual approach to the study of intellectual history with which Professor Skinner himself is especially associated. It will be of interest and importance to a wide range of scholars in history, philosophy, politics, and literary theory. Professor Skinner has been awarded the Balzan Prize Life Time Achievement Award for Political Thought, History and Theory. Full details of this award can be found at http://www.balzan.it/News_eng.aspx?ID=2474.
