Die Deutsch-Japanischen Denkwege bilden zusammen mit dem Band Dimensionen des Äs-thetischen die zweibändige Ausgabe der Schnittpunkte. Beide Bände machen auf Schnittpunkte in den zwei Denkwegen, dem deutschen und dem japanischen, aufmerksam. Schnittpunkte bilden sich dort, wo unterschiedliche Denkwege einander beleuchten, so dass diese oft anders als in ihrem je eigenen Selbstverständnis in Erscheinung treten. Der zweite Band enthält Schriften und Vortragstexte aus den Jahren 1980 bis 2013; sie wurden vom Verfasser selbst ausgewählt und für diese Veröffentlichung überarbeitet. Streng hermeneut

Die Beiträge des Bandes gehen grundlegenden Problemstellungen der Pädagogik nach. Dabei handelt es sich um Probleme, die nicht erst im gegenwärtigen Bildungsdenken oder in der heutigen Bildungslandschaft offenkundig werden, sondern die Denker aller Epochen beschäftigten. Dennoch liegt der Fokus auf einer Reflexion aktueller Fragen der Bildung. So versuchen die einzelnen Artikel in problemgeschichtlicher Auseinandersetzung historische Positionen mit aktuellen Problemen zu verknüpfen und jene für diese fruchtbar zu machen. Der Titel des Bandes deutet jedoch bereits auf die Unmöglichkeit einer endgültigen Beantwortung pädagogischer Probleme hin. Er verweist auf die unablässige Forderung, diese Fragen immer wieder aufzugreifen, zu reflektieren und konstruktiv-praktische Orientierungen zu geben.

Myth, art, literature, film, and other discourses are replete with depictions of evil plants, salvific plants, and human-plant hybrids. In various ways, these representations intersect with “deep-rooted” insecurities about the place of human beings in the natural world, the relative viability of animalian motility and heterotrophy as evolutionary strategies, as well as the identity of organic life as such . Plants surprise us by combining the appearance of harmlessness and familiarity with an underlying strangeness. The otherness of vegetal life poses a challenge to our ethical, philosophical, and existential categories and tests the limits of human empathy and imagination. At the same time, the resilience of plants, their adaptability, and their integration with their habitat are a perennial source of inspiration and wisdom. Plants and Literature: Essays in Critical Plant Studies examines the manner in which literary texts and other cultural products express our multifaceted relationship with the vegetable kingdom. The range of perspectives brought to bear on the subject of plant life by the various authors and critics represented in this volume comprise a novel vision of ecological interdependence and stimulate a revitalized sensitivity to the relationships we share with our photosynthetic brethren.

Writing Death opens a meditation on the possibility of mourning; of whether there is a subject, or even object, that one mourns—of whether one is mourning, can only mourn, the very impossibility of mourning itself. The manuscript is framed by two attempts at mourning—Avital Ronell’s “The Tactlessness of an Unending Fadeout” and Jeremy Fernando’s “adieu.” In-between—for this is where both pieces posit the possibility of attending to the passing, the memory, the fading of the person—is an attempt to think this impossibility. The text is continually haunted by the question of whether one is mourning the person as such, or a particular version of the person, a reading of the person. And in reading another, in attempting to respond to the other, one can never have the metaphysical comfort that one is reading accurately, correctly; in fact, one may always already be re-writing the person. Thus, all one can do is attempt to mourn the name of that person, whilst never being certain of whether her name even refers to her any longer. All one can do is write death.

In this collection of exquisite essays, Elizabeth Dodd explores the natural and human history of sites in the American Southwest, the caves of southern France, the Kansas grasslands, and the forests of the Pacific Northwest. In the Mind's Eye considers the artistic and creative impulses of those who preceded us, making sense of the different ways in which they-and we-express our experiences of landscape in words and images.
