Power and Parenting (Edinburgh Studies in Culture & Society)
by Kieran Bonner
The power to act is two-sided in that it refers to the parent's ability to initiate (having children or responding to their actions) and to the ability to suffer consequences (irreversibility and unpredictability). The book argues that the best way of responding to these essential limits is for the parent to develop the interrelation between wisdom, ethnicality and self-mastery, that is, practical wisdom.

Although semiotics has, in one guise or another, ftourished uninterruptedly since pre- Socratic times in the West, and important semiotic themes have emerged and devel- oped independently in both the Brahmanie and Buddhistic traditions, semiotics as an organized undertaking began to 100m only in the 1960s. Workshops materialized, with a perhaps surprising spontaneity, over much ofEurope-Eastern and Western- and in North America. Thereafter, others quickly surfaced almost everywhere over the lite...
Die Untersuchung entwickelt hermeneutisch-phanomenologisch eine Antwort auf die Frage, wie die Lebenswelt als Natur erfahren wird. Sie zeigt, wie der Naturbegriff bei Kant, insbesondere in den mathematischen Grundsatzen der "Kritik der reinen Vernunft", verarmt und wie er sich schon bei Aristoteles verengt. Bei beiden eroeffnet sich aber zugleich die Moeglichkeit des Ruckgangs zu einem ursprunglicheren Naturverstandnis im fruhgriechischen Denken von Anaximander und Heraklit. Diesen Ruckgang real...
