Without God or His Doubles : Realism, Relativism and Rorty /
:
Without God or His Doubles offers a sympathetic, but critical interpretation of the philosophy of Richard Rorty. Rorty is one of the most widely discussed of contemporary philosophers, but there exist few attempts to deal with the full scope of Rorty's writings in a systematic fashion. This book shows that the unifying theme that runs through Rorty's writings on epistemology, the philosophy of science, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of language, and political philosophy is a quasi-religious conception of human creativity and human freedom. In other words, Rorty's attempt to avoid both realism and relativism is best understood in relationship to his claim that traditional philosophy has been god-obsessed. The animating spirit of Rorty's philosophy is to complete the Enlightenment project, to completely wean philosophy away from both God and the various god-doubles (Reason, Nature, Mind, Man, Science, Art). Rorty believes that a radical secularity will result in a kind of human emancipation and a heightened sense of human freedom. The book concludes with a critique of Rorty's proposal for philosophy and culture after the final departure of all the gods.

Forts of North Omdurman : Mariusz Drzewiecki and Aneta Cedro /
:
The Forts of North Omdurman volume presents research aimed at establishing when and why a group of nine forts were built in Upper Nubia (modern Sudan). These defences resemble late Roman fortlets commonly found in the Egyptian Eastern Desert and elsewhere in the Roman Empire. The nine forts were irregularly positioned within a 550km section of the Middle Nile Valley, a land which was never subject to Roman authority.0Excavations were conducted at the three southernmost forts situated on the outskirts of modern Omdurman. The methodology chosen was designed to define the possible chronological limits of the defences and to identify the remains left by the first settlers. The chapters include a detailed analysis of the forts' architecture, stratigraphy, pottery, beads, plaster, animal and plant remains supplemented by a series of radiocarbon dates. The result is a new insight into the dynamic beginnings of the forts and the challenges faced by the rulers of the medieval Kingdom of Alwa in the 6th and 7th centuries AD.

"Our house is on fire" : Theater / Drama / Theatertext und Klimakrise /
:
Der Band untersucht, wie Theater und Dramatik Klimakrise und Artensterben als konkrete Realität darstellen, neue ästhetische Formen entwickeln und nichtmenschliche Akteur:innen einbeziehen, um über die Reflexion hinaus zum Handeln zu bewegen. Klimawandel und Artensterben sind seit Jahrzehnten bekannt, doch weiterhin scheuen viele die Konsequenzen notwendiger Veränderungen. Theater, Drama und Theatertext spielen traditionell eine gewichtige Rolle in gesellschaftspolitischen Reflexionsprozessen. Der Band versammelt Beiträge führender Wissenschaftler:innen, Dramatiker:innen und Dramaturg:innen, die sich mit der Frage auseinandersetzen, wie die Krise nicht nur als abstrakte Bedrohung, sondern als konkrete Realität darzustellen wäre, welche neuen Ästhetiken und Dramaturgien geeignet sind, auch nichtmenschliche Akteur:innen einzubeziehen und den anthropozentrischen Blickwinkel aufzubrechen. Dabei soll nicht nur wirksam reagiert, sondern zum Handeln motiviert werden.
