Sinopsis

In "The Beautiful: An Introduction to Psychological Aesthetics," Vernon Lee meticulously explores the intersection of beauty and psychology, offering an innovative perspective on aesthetic experience. This seminal work, characterized by Lee's elegant prose and incisive analysis, draws on contemporary philosophical ideas while also engaging with the rich tradition of aesthetic theory. Lee argues that the appreciation of beauty is a deeply psychological phenomenon, intricately linked to the sensory experiences and emotional responses elicited by art and nature. Her integration of psychological insights into aesthetic theory marks a significant contribution to the field, encouraging readers to reconsider the essence of beauty in both art and everyday life. Vernon Lee, born Violet Paget, was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for her extensive writings on aesthetics, fiction, and essays. Lee's unique background as a cultivated intellectual in Europe contributed to her profound understanding of the complex interplay between aesthetics and psychology. Her exposure to various artistic movements and philosophical discussions of her time significantly shaped her approach to beauty, making her insights particularly relevant in an age grappling with the subjectivity of artistic value. "The Beautiful" is recommended for readers interested in aesthetic theory, psychology, and the arts. Its thoughtful examination of beauty invites both scholars and general readers to engage with the deeper dimensions of aesthetic enjoyment. Lee's compelling arguments and stylistic elegance make this work an essential addition to any library of critical thought.

    The Brexit Referendum - The UK's...

    The Brexit referendum, which took place on June 23, 2016, marked a pivotal moment in the history of the United Kingdom and its relationship with the European Union. The decision to leave the EU, known as Brexit, came after years of mounting debate and growing division within British society and politics. The referendum was the result of a long-standing debate over the UK’s membership in the European Union, with political, economic, and cultural tensions playing a central role in shaping the outcome. 
    The road to Brexit began long before the referendum vote. The United Kingdom joined the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1973, a precursor to the European Union, and since then, the nation’s relationship with the organization has been fraught with disagreement. Euroscepticism, or skepticism about the benefits of EU membership, had been steadily rising, particularly among certain political groups and sections of the public. Critics of the EU argued that membership undermined national sovereignty and that the UK was bound by regulations and policies that did not align with its interests. This sentiment was exacerbated by issues such as immigration, trade regulations, and the financial burden of contributing to the EU budget. 
    In the years leading up to the referendum, the political landscape of the UK began to shift. The rise of UKIP (the United Kingdom Independence Party), led by Nigel Farage, brought the issue of EU membership into sharper focus. UKIP’s success in the 2014 European Parliament elections, where it emerged as the largest UK party, put pressure on the Conservative Party to address the growing concerns over the EU. Prime Minister David Cameron, seeking to quell dissent within his own party and avoid a potential electoral challenge from UKIP, promised a referendum on EU membership in 2013. This pledge set the stage for the referendum that would ultimately decide the UK’s fate within the EU.

    You're One of Us! - Systemic...

    In this gripping account of her work, Marianne Franke-Gricksch speaks from her experience as a teacher and therapist, describing how systemic ideas enable fundamentally new and effective learning and encourage creative cooperation between students, teachers, and parents. Rather than viewing the participants in this process as isolated individuals, she shows how people and their environment constantly influence and change each other. Franke-Gricksch's own systemic view connects Bert Hellinger's work on the power of one's bond with his or her family of origin with various other approaches within systemic theory. The author's reports are consistently supported by practical examples from the everyday classroom situation. Especially fascinating is the children's enthusiasm and array of ideas that they use to pick up and transfer the new impulses and procedures. Readers who are new to these methods will also be amazed at the powerful effect that is released by systemic thinking and action.

    Despite all of the imperfections present throughout Ancient Mesopotamian legislation, these laws of the ancient world are a priceless treasure influencing the history of judicial science.
    In ancient Mesopotamia, a written set of laws adopted by a ruler or his kingdom was quickly established as the foundational governing document. The emergence of royal decrees came about due to the special conditions surrounding the establishment and development of multiple federations due to war, coups, conquests, the formation of territorial and political treaties, the rise or fall in power of a particular ruler, or the rising supremacy of one ethnic group or another. 
    Contents:
    Chapter 1. Sources of Law: Mesopotamia
    Chapter 2. Code of Ur-Nammu (2100-2050 BC)
    Chapter 3. Code of Lipit-Ishtar (c.1870-1860 BC)

    The History of Political Thought...

    Thinking about politics has tended to be historical in nature because of the comparisons and contrasts that can be drawn between past and present. Different periods in politics have used the past differently. At times political thought can be said to have been drawn directly from the study of history; at others, perhaps including our own time, the relationship is more indirect. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction explores the core concerns and questions in the field of the history of political thought. Richard Whatmore considers the history of political thought as a branch of political philosophy/political science, and examines the approaches of core theorists such as Reinhart Koselleck, Strauss, Michel Foucault, and the so-called Cambridge School of Quentin Skinner and John Pocock. Assessing the current relationship between political history, theory and action, Whatmore concludes with an analysis of its relevance for current politics.
