A Cultural History of the Atlantic World, 1250-1820 explores the idea that strong links exist in the histories of Africa, Europe and North and South America. John K. Thornton provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the Atlantic Basin before 1830 by describing political, social and cultural interactions between the continents' inhabitants. He traces the backgrounds of the populations on these three continental landmasses brought into contact by European navigation. Thornton then examines the political and social implications of the encounters, tracing the origins of a variety of Atlantic societies and showing how new ways of eating, drinking, speaking and worshipping developed in the newly created Atlantic World. This book uses close readings of original sources to produce new interpretations of its subject.

Der Band zeigt die Chancen und Grenzen des Begriffs eines literarischen Primitivismus auf. Die Beiträge entwerfen Theorien des Primitivismus und rekonstruieren seine wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Hintergründe, sie erarbeiten anhand von Beispielen aus der Literatur die Konturen eines literarischen Primitivismus und beleuchten dessen Verhältnis zum Primitivismus in der bildenden Kunst. Dabei erweist sich der Primitivismus als prägendes Moment in der Ausbildung der literarischen Moderne. This volume explores the usefulness and limitations of the concept of literary primitivism. The individual essays propose theories of primitivism and reconstruct its historical and theoretical background. Using literary examples, they reveal the contours of literary primitivism and explain its relationship to primitivism in the visual arts. The overall picture that emerges from the analysis is of primitivism as a powerful force in the development of literary modernity.

Modernity's break with the Middle Ages is distinguished by a comprehensive turn to a world of individual, empirical experience, a turn that was a repudiation of Plato's idea that there is a reality of rationality and intellect. Yet already in the Renaissance it was no longer thought necessary to seriously confront the 'old' concept of rationality that emanates from Plato. Arbogast Schmitt's book sets itself this until-now-unfulfilled task, comparing the arguments for a life based on theory and one based on praxis in order to provide a balance sheet of profit and loss. Showing that the Enlightenment did not, as often assumed, discover rationality, but instead a different 'concept' of rationality, the book opens one's view to other forms of rationality and new possibilities of reconciliation with one's own - that is, Western - history. 'Modernity and Plato' was hailed upon its publication in Germany (2003, revised 2008) as 'one of the most important philosophy books of the past few years,' as 'a book that belongs, without any doubt, in the great tradition of German philosophy,' and as 'a provocative thesis on the antiquity-modernity debate.' It is a major contribution to synthetic philosophy and philosophical historiography, in English for the first time. Arbogast Schmitt is Honorary Professor at the Institute for Greek and Latin Philology at Free University, Berlin and Emeritus Professor of Classical Philology and Greek at the University of Marburg, Germany.
