Starmer Project
The Starmer Project is a forensic and revealing account of Keir Starmer's rise to the top of British politics. Oliver Eagleton paints a fascinating picture of a human-rights barrister turned chief prosecutor and his handling of a number of cases involving the police and security services. He traces Starmer's political alliances and his leading role in Labour's Brexit agony. When Starmer stood for party leader, he pledged to revitalise Corbynism with a dose of lawyerly competence. The Starmer Project details how he instead purged Jeremy Corbyn and pulled Labour to the right.Helped into power by the Conservatives' collapse in 2024, Starmer was soon as unpopular as his Tory predecessors. Embroiled in austerity and allegations of sleaze, he has further alienated the public and disappointed business interests as well. He stands accused by critics on the left and right alike of lacking principles. But although devoid of charisma, Starmer is anything but an empty political vessel. Indeed, the implications of his authoritarian politics for a country in need of renewal, not retrenchment, appear dire.This is the definitive, updated and revealing biography of the Labour Prime Minister.

Teachings of Syrianus on Plato's Timaeus and Parmenides
Although it has long been established that Syrianus, the teacher of Proclus, was the source of much of his student's metaphysics, it is not known precisely what in Proclus' thought can be attributed to Syrianus. The problem is compounded by the fact that Syrianus wrote very little and there is uncertainty as to whether written commentaries ever existed of his teaching on Plato's Timaeus and Parmenides, the most important sources for Platonic metaphysics. This work attempts to re-construct the major tenets of Syrianus' philosophical teachings on the Timaeus and Parmenides based on the testimonia of Proclus, as found in Proclus' commentaries on Plato's Timaeus and Parmenides and, Damascius, as reported in his On First Principles and commentary on Plato's Parmenides.

Regionalitaet in Johann Jakob Bodmers Uebersetzungen von Miltons Paradise Lost
Der Schweizer Literaturkritiker Johann Jakob Bodmer (1698-1783) befasste sich fünf Jahrzehnte lang damit, seine Übersetzung des epischen Gedichtes Paradise Lost (1667) von John Milton (1608-1674) verbessernd zu überarbeiten. Das Buch geht der Frage nach, welche Bearbeitungen Bodmer von Auflage zu Auflage vornahm und inwiefern er seine sprachtheoretischen Konzeptionen in den verschiedenen Überarbeitungen in die Praxis umsetzte. Bodmers Lexeme werden unter Berücksichtigung der diatopischen, diachronen und diastratisch-diaphasischen Dimensionen mithilfe verschiedener Wörterbücher und zeitgenössischer deutscher Übersetzungen überprüft. Die Studie zeigt auf, wie sich die Gewichtung der von Bodmer im Revisionsprozess gewählten Stildimension verschoben hat.

American Paradox
For Americans entering the twenty-first century, it is the best of times and the worst of times. Material wealth is at record levels, yet disturbing social problems reflect a deep spiritual poverty. In this compelling book, well-known social psychologist David G. Myers asks how this paradox has come to be and, more important, how we can spark social renewal and dream a new American dream.Myers explores the research on social ills from the 1960s through the 1990s and concludes that the materialism and radical individualism of this period have cost us dearly, imperiling our children, corroding general civility, and diminishing our happiness. However, in the voices of public figures and ordinary citizens he now hears a spirit of optimism. The national dialogue is shifting—away from the expansion of personal rights and toward enhancement of communal civility, away from efforts to raise self-esteem and toward attempts to arouse social responsibility, away from “whose values?” and toward “our values.” Myers analyzes in detail the research on educational and other programs that deal with social problems, explaining which seem to work and why. He then offers positive and well-reasoned advice, suggesting that a renewed social ecology for America will rest on policies that balance “me thinking” with “we thinking.”
