Matilda Joslyn Gage

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Woman VS. Church and State," Matilda Joslyn Gage compellingly navigates the intersecting realms of gender and religion within the socio-political landscape of the late 19th century. Employing a persuasive yet accessible literary style, Gage critically examines the oppressive structures upheld by church and state that have historically marginalized women. This text, situated within the feminist literary tradition, challenges the existing norms of her time, advocating for the emancipation and recognition of women's rights. Gage's meticulous research features an array of contemporary sources, making her arguments both robust and relevant. Matilda Joslyn Gage was a prominent suffragist, abolitionist, and a key figure in the women's rights movement. Her rich background in social activism, along with her personal experiences of discrimination, profoundly influenced her writing. Gage's collaboration with other notable figures, including Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, underscores her commitment to the cause and situates her work within a broader context of civil rights activism that was gaining momentum during her lifetime. "Woman VS. Church and State" is not merely a historical account; it is a clarion call for justice and equality. Gage's eloquent argumentation and unwavering commitment to women's rights offer invaluable insights for contemporary readers. This essential read is not only crucial for those interested in feminist theory and history but also for anyone committed to challenging the status quo and understanding the enduring struggle for women's rights.

Conversations for skeptics

How real is reality? Are our images of the world mere inventions or do they correspond to an external reality? Is it possible to know the truth?

These are some of the questions that are discussed in this book by physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and media studies scholar Bernhard Poerksen. Together they explore the limits of our cognitive capacities; they debate the apparent objectivity of our sensual perception and the consequences of "truth terrorism"; and they talk about the relationship between knowledge and ethics, sight and insight.
The authors:
Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) completed his studies of physics in Vienna and worked at different research labs before emigrating to the United States in 1949. In 1957, at the University of Illinois, he established the Biological Computer Lab (BCL) – the cradle of the epistemology that would later cause a stir under the label of "constructivism." The focus was on analyzing the logical and methodological problems that in evitably arise when one seeks to know knowledge. He is the author of numerous books, including Understanding Understanding: Essays on Cybernetics and Cognition.
Bernhard Poerksen is professor of media studies at the University of Tübingen with a particular research interest in the new media age. His books about systemic thinking have been translated into many languages. In 2008 he was voted "Professor of the Year" in honor of his teaching. His most recent book publications in English include From Being to Doing: The Origins of the Biology of Cognition (with Humberto Maturana), The Unleashed Scandal: The End of Control in the Digital Age (with Hanne Detel), and Digital Fever: Taming the Big Business of Disinformation.
