    Notes:

    Der zweite Band der philosophischen Korrespondenz zeigt Leibniz während seiner Tätigkeit in Hannover und Wolfenbüttel, unterbrochen durch die mehrjährige Reise nach Süddeutschland und Italien (1687–1690) Eine besondere Stellung nimmt der gewichtige Briefwechsel mit Antoine Arnauld ein, in dem es nach dem Anfang 1686 verfassten ersten metaphysischen Systementwurf, dem sogenannten "Discours de métaphysique", vor allem um Fragen des Substanzbegriffs und eine vertiefte Explikation seiner metaphysischen Grundpositionen geht. Wichtige metaphysische Diskussionen werden ebenfalls im Briefwechsel mit Foucher erörtert, die schon nahe heran an den Entwurf des "Système nouveau de la communication des substances" von 1695 führen. Nach der Italienreise ist es dann vor allem die ausführliche Korrespondenz mit Fardella, seit 1694 Professor für Mathematik in Padua, in der es Leibniz um die Erörterung metaphysischer Grundgedanken geht.

    Leibniz ist bereits auf dem Weg zu seinem "Specimen dynamicum" von 1695. Infolgedessen spielt in dieser Zeit auch seine erneute (erstmals 1684 öffentlich gemachte) und vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit Descartes und dessen Materiebegriff und die Entwicklung eines eigenen Kraftbegriffs eine große Rolle, so z. B. in den Korrespondenzen mit Bossuet, Pellisson-Fontanier, Huygens und Bayle. Leibniz beginnt einen Briefwechsel mit Basnage de Bauval in Den Haag, dem Herausgeber der "Histoire des ouvrages des savants", in dem es um allgemeine Neuigkeiten aus der respublica literaria, aber auch um die Kritik an Descartes geht. In den mit Bossuet, Pellisson-Fontanier und von Seckendorff gewechselten Briefen geht es darüber hinaus auch um theologische Probleme und Fragen der Reunion.

    Hauptthemen dieser Jahre sind demnach vor allem die Fundamentierung seines metaphysischen Systems und die damit verbundene Descartes-Kritik, wobei die Begriffe der Kraft und der Substanz im Zentrum stehen, insbesondere auch die logische Begründung des vollständigen Begriffs der singulären Substanz. Der erste Band der philosophischen Korrespondenz, der bereits 1926 – allerdings ohne wissenschaftlichen Apparat – erschienen war, ist im März 2006 in einer zweiten, vollständig neu bearbeiteten und erweiterten Auflage mit Überlieferungen, Varianten, Kommentaren, Register und Konkordanzen vorgelegt worden

    This comprehensive presentation of Axel Hägerström (1868-1939) fills a void in nearly a century of literature, providing both the legal and political scholar and the non-expert reader with a proper introduction to the father of Scandinavian realism. Based on his complete work, including unpublished material and personal correspondence selected exclusively from the Uppsala archives, A Real Mind follows the chronological evolution of Hägerström's intellectual enterprise and offers a full account of his thought. The book summarizes Hägerström's main arguments while enabling further critical assessment, and tries to answer such questions as: If norms are neither true nor false, how can they be adequately understood on the basis of Hägerström's theory of knowledge? Did the founder of the Uppsala school uphold emotivism in moral philosophy? What consequences does such a standpoint have in practical philosophy? Is he really the inspiration behind Scandinavian state absolutism?A Real Mind places the complex web of issues addressed by Hägerström within the broader context of 20th century philosophy, stretching from epistemology to ethics. His philosophy of law is examined in the core chapters of the book, with emphasis on the will-theory and the relation between law and power. The narrative is peppered with vignettes from Hägerström's life, giving an insightful and highly readable portrayal of a thinker who put his imprint on legal theory. The appendix provides a selected bibliography and a brief synopsis of the major events in his life, both private and intellectual.

    "The forced suicide of Seneca, former adviser to Nero, is one of the most tortured - and most revisited - death scenes from classical antiquity. After fruitlessly opening his veins and drinking hemlock, Seneca finally succumbed to death in a stifling steam bath, while his wife Paulina, who had attempted suicide as well, was bandaged up and revived by Nero's men. From the first century to the present day, writers and artists have retold this scene in order to rehearse and revise Seneca's image and writings, and to scrutinize the event of human death." "In The Deaths of Seneca, James Ker offers the first comprehensive cultural history of Seneca's death scene, situating it in the Roman imagination and tracing its many subsequent interpretations. Ker shows first how the earliest accounts of the death scene by Tacitus and others were shaped by conventions of Greco-Roman exitus-description and Julio-Claudian dynastic history. At the book's center is an exploration of Seneca's own prolific writings about death - whether anticipating death in his letters, dramatizing it in the tragedies, or offering therapy for loss in the form of consolations - which offered the primary lens through which Seneca's contemporaries would view the author's death. These ancient approaches set the stage for prolific receptions, and Ker traces how the death scene was retold in both literary and visual versions, from St. Jerome to Heiner Muller and from medieval illuminations to Peter Paul Rubens and Jacques-Louis David." "Dozens of interpreters, engaging with prior versions and with Seneca's writings, forged new and sometimes controversial views on Seneca's legacy and, more broadly, on mortality and suicide. The Deaths of Seneca presents a new, historically inclusive, approach to reading this major Roman author."--BOOK JACKET.

    The first authorized biography of one of the most influential and controversial intellectuals of the twentieth century, based on new research and full access to its subject's papers. Best known as the creator of the classic anti-Communist novel Darkness at Noon, Koestler is here revealed as a man whose personal life was as astonishing as his literary accomplishments. The young Hungarian Jew whose experience of anti-Semitism and devotion to Zionism provoked him to move to Palestine; the foreign correspondent who risked his life from the North Pole to Franco's Spain; the committed Communist for whom the brutal truth of Stalin's show trials inspired the angry novel that became an instant classic in 1940; the escape from occupied France by joining the Foreign Legion and his bluffing his way illegally to England, where his controversial 1943 novel Arrival and Departure was the first to portray Hitler's Final Solution. Scammell also gives a full account of the author's voluminous writings, making the case that the autobiographies and essays are fit to stand beside Darkness at Noon as works of lasting literary value.--From publisher description
