Описание: Since Ameis-Hentze-Cauer (1868-1913) no comprehensive, scholarly commentary of Homer's Iliad has been published in German. In the meantime considerable progress has been made in many traditional areas of Homeric studies (language, realia, structure etc.). In addition, generally acknowledged new fields such as narratology have been systematically studied. Furthermore, the knowledge of the Mycenaean language (Linear B) and oral poetry provide completely new possibilities of textual constitution and analysis. Using the old Ameis-Hentze-Cauer as a starting point, the new commentary reflects the current scholarship on Homer in a comprehensive way. As a new standard work, the "Basel Commentary" of the Iliad has received considerable recognition among scholars worldwide. The fresh concept in terms of content and form serves the needs of different groups of users. The commentary primarily aims at students and academic teachers (at schools and universities), not only of Classics but also of cultural and literary studies as well as of humanities in general. The original plan to proceed from book to book was abandoned. With respect to the current preferences in schools and universities the six most important books will be available until 2009 at the latest: 3 (teichoscopia, truce, single-combat between Menelaus and Paris), 6 (the episode of Diomedes and Glaucus, Hector in Troy), 9 (overtures to the angry Achilles), 19 (Achilles' reconciliation and return to battle), 22 (Hector's death) and 24 (Hector's body is returned to Priam by Achilles). The authors of the volumes to be published until 2009 are the following: Book 3: Dr. Martha Krieter-Spiro Book 6: Dr. Magdalene Stoevesandt Book 9: Prof. Dr. Joachim Latacz Book 19: Dr. Marina Coray Book 22: Prof. Dr. Robert Plath Book 24: lic. phil. Claude Brgger.
Why is the Catholic Church against the death penalty? This second edition of Brugger’s classic work Capital Punishment and Roman Catholic Moral Tradition traces the doctrinal path the Church has taken over the centuries to its present position as the world’s largest and most outspoken opponent of capital punishment. The pontificate of John Paul II marked a watershed in Catholic thinking. The pope taught that the death penalty is and can only be rightly assessed as a form of self-defense. But what does this mean? What are its implications for the Church’s traditional retribution-based model of lethal punishment? How does it square with what the Church has historically taught? Brugger argues that the implications of this historic turn have yet to be fully understood.
In his new preface, Brugger examines the contribution of the great Polish pope’s closest collaborator and successor in the Chair of Peter, Pope Benedict XVI, to Catholic thinking on the death penalty. He argues that Pope Benedict maintained the doctrinal status quo of his predecessor’s teaching on capital punishment as self-defense, with detectable points of reluctance to draw attention to nontraditional implications of that teaching.
"I have read Ruth's book twice, and I am amazed at the calm and wry wit that she brings to our final endeavor, dying. The last cartoon particularly struck me as humorous. Even though I am mid-way through my 70th year, and have some of the final details worked out, I can not for the life of me come up with a three word epitaph. I will just have to re-read Born-Lived-Died until I get one with the right amount of whimsy and mischief. Thanks Ruth Brugger " --Michael S. Logan, M.S. Retired Counselor
We all know our time on Earth is limited. Unfortunately, just like taxes, we all have to face death sooner or later. Yet when we approach it with a different attitude than dread, the idea of death doesn't seem nearly as foreboding.
In a collection of poignant and sometimes humorous essays and other writings, Ruth Brugger offers a heartfelt glimpse into one of life's most complex challenges by sharing wisdom from older folks, a creative list of three-word obituaries, thoughtful reflections on the performance of morticians and the size of funeral homes, and entertaining musings about a variety of subjects that include why a woman shopping for a casket might just have a reasonable excuse to buy a new dress.
Born-Lived-Died shares essays and reflections that share a light-hearted yet touching look at life, death, and everything in between.
"... Ruth Brugger perfectly balances humor with great thoughtfulness in a fun but caring manner." --Marianne Mueller, columnist / reporter, Herald News
