    Im frühgriechischen Denken nimmt die Idee der Abhängigkeit menschlichen Lebens von ihn übersteigenden Mächten eine zentrale Stellung ein; der Mensch wird als weitgehend passiv verstanden. Anders Hesiod: Hinter seinen Erga steht das Bild eines aktiven, gestaltenden Menschen, der die Möglichkeit besitzt, sich für ein bestimmtes Handeln - gut wie schlecht - zu entscheiden. Die Entscheidung trifft sein nous (Verstand), der "das eigentliche Selbst des Menschen" (Arbogast Schmitt) darstellt. Soll Handeln erfolgreich sein, muss es sich innerhalb der auf klaren Regeln beruhenden dike-Ordnung (Recht, Gerechtigkeit) bewegen; so kann der Mensch seine Zukunft weitgehend selbst gestalten und seine Ziele (ökonomisch, sozial) verwirklichen. Weil er erkennen kann, was schlecht ist, existiert auch kein scheinbar irrational waltendes Schicksal: Er ist nicht mehr nur Verantwortlicher (wie im homerischen Epos), er ist schuldig (aitios) an dem durch ihn in Gang gesetzten Geschehen. Vorliegende Untersuchung geht nicht nur dieser neuartigen Sichtweise nach, sondern zeigt auch, dass dem nous die Schlüsselfunktion für die adäquate Rezeption der Erga zukommt, die als Vereinigung unterschiedlicher Gattungen Hesiods bereits in der Theogonie erhobenen Anspruch, neuartige Dichtung zu schaffen, einlöst

    Der Essay von Jörn Ahrens befreit König Ödipus aus den Schablonen seiner psychoanalytischen Deutung und liest das Drama als einen modernen Text über die Möglichkeit von Subjektivität und Gesellschaftsbildung. Im Rückgang auf mythische Bilder, die vom Ursprung des Sozialen erzählen, nähert er sich dem symbolischen Aspekt von Gesellschaft und liefert auf dieser Grundlage eine spannende Reflexion über das Verhältnis von Souveränität, Schuld und Autonomie. Ebenso originell wie unzeitgemäß bestimmt er den Schicksalsbegriff für die Gesellschaftstheorie neu und stellt damit der anhaltenden Diskussion um »Kontingenz« ein mögliches Korrektiv bereit

    A fresh reading of Marvell's most important works, exploring the variety and complexity of his approaches to contemporary religious and political events. Andrew Marvell's celebrated poetic ambivalence to the philosophical, political and religious controversies of mid-seventeenth century England is the subject of this book, which includes major new historical readings of his most important lyrics and political verse, incorporating material from hitherto unpublished contemporary manuscripts. It places the poetic imagination of Marvell and his contemporaries - such as John Milton, Henry Vaughan, Abraham Cowley, Margaret Cavendish, William Davenant, and Thomas Fairfax - into the context of the turbulent public events of the time; and demonstrates Marvell's hitherto unnoticed connection with the liberal, rational and sceptical thinkers associated with the Great Tew circle. It also argues that Marvell's 'middle way' in theology is bound up with his ambivalence towards the Calvinist God. Takashi Yoshinaka took his D.Phil. at the University of Oxford, and is Professor of English in the Graduate School of Letters, Hiroshima University

The present volume brings together for the first time a collection of essays on the themes of freedom and fate in the creative works of Gao Xingjian.

    "What was the function of the invocation of destiny in the increasingly secularized era of turn-of-the-century Vienna? By exploring this question, Stereotype and Destiny in Arthur Schnitzler's Prose offers a new psycho-sociological perspective on the narrative works of Arthur Schnitzler. While Vienna 1900 as a site of crisis has been established in the scholarship, this book focuses on the presence of forces that deny the existence of said crisis and work to contain its subversive and critical potential. Stereotype and destiny emerge in Schnitzler's prose texts as a form of these counter-critical forces. In her readings, Kolkenbrock shows that stereotype and destiny serve as an interrelated coping mechanism for a central psychological conflict of modernity: the paradoxical need to be recognized as 'normal' and 'special' at the same time. While, through the complex of 'stereotype and destiny', Schnitzler's prose addresses central modern questions of identity and subjecthood, Kolkenbrock's close readings also reveal how the texts inscribe themselves aesthetically in the literary tradition of Romanticism and as such offer crucial sources for understanding Schnitzler's representations of embattled subjecthood within broader social and aesthetic traditions."--Bloomsbury Publishing

    "What was the function of the invocation of destiny in the increasingly secularized era of turn-of-the-century Vienna? By exploring this question, Stereotype and Destiny in Arthur Schnitzler's Prose offers a new psycho-sociological perspective on the narrative works of Arthur Schnitzler. While Vienna 1900 as a site of crisis has been established in the scholarship, this book focuses on the presence of forces that deny the existence of said crisis and work to contain its subversive and critical potential. Stereotype and destiny emerge in Schnitzler's prose texts as a form of these counter-critical forces. In her readings, Kolkenbrock shows that stereotype and destiny serve as an interrelated coping mechanism for a central psychological conflict of modernity: the paradoxical need to be recognized as 'normal' and 'special' at the same time. While, through the complex of 'stereotype and destiny', Schnitzler's prose addresses central modern questions of identity and subjecthood, Kolkenbrock's close readings also reveal how the texts inscribe themselves aesthetically in the literary tradition of Romanticism and as such offer crucial sources for understanding Schnitzler's representations of embattled subjecthood within broader social and aesthetic traditions."--Bloomsbury Publishing

The contributions aim at investigating the question whether there does exist a historical link between the last and manifold blossoming of a discourse on "Fortuna" between the late 16th and the early 17th century, the final demise of such a discourse roughly after mid-17th century, and the rise of modernity" --

    This book explores how Virgil in his Aeneid incorporates the ancient Stoics' thinking about how humans can exercise moral responsibility and how this can affect providential world fate. The third-century BC philosopher Chrysippus of Soli located this freedom in the way we can assent to courses of action, and Graham Zanker innovatively demonstrates how Virgil appropriates this concept in the way that Jupiter and Aeneas can assent to the world fate in which they have discovered they must play a part, or Juno and Dido can withhold their assent to it. Indeed, Virgil even offers the model to no-one less than Augustus: the emperor is invited to give his assent to ruling what was believed to be his 'world-wide' empire justly. The book is accessible to both students and professional scholars of the Aeneid, with all Greek and Latin translated into idiomatic English

In this fascinating book, Jennifer Ann Bates examines shapes of self-consciousness and their roles in the tricky interface between reality and drama. Shakespeare's plots and characters are used to shed light on Hegelian dialectic, and Hegel's philosophical works on art and politics are used to shed light on Shakespeare's dramas. Bates focuses on moral imagination and on how interpretations of drama and history constrain it. For example: how much luck and necessity drive a character's actions? Would Coriolanus be a better example than Antigone in Hegel's account of the Kinship-State conflict? What disorients us and makes us morally stuck? The sovereign self, the moral pragmatics of wit, and the relationship between law, tragedy, and comedy are among the multifaceted considerations examined in this incisive work. Along the way, Bates traces the development of deleterious concepts such as fate, anti-Aufhebung, crime, evil, and hypocrisy, as well as helpful concepts such as wonder Judgment, forgiveness, and justice. --Book Jacket
