The Diffusion of Military Power

Causes and Consequences for International Politics

2010

EN

The Diffusion of Military Power examines how the financial and organizational challenges of adopting new methods of fighting wars can influence the international balance of power. Michael Horowitz argues that a state or actor wishing to adopt a military innovation must possess both the financial resources to buy or build the technology and the internal organizational capacity to accommodate any necessary changes in recruiting, training, or operations. How countries react to new in...

The history of political events is made by people. From wars to elections to political protests, the choices we make, our actions, how we behave, dictate events. Not all individuals have the same impact on our world and our lives. Some peoples' choices alter the pathways that history takes. In particular, national chief executives play a large role in forging the destinies of the countries they lead. Why Leaders Fight is about those world leaders and how their beliefs, world views, and tol...

Leonard Bernstein

Magier der Musik. Die Biografie


2017

DE

"In Bernsteins Konzerte gingen die Leute auch, wenn er der schlechteste Dirigent der Welt wäre", sagte einst Arturo Toscanini. Die Begeisterung für Musik begleitete Leonard Bernstein von klein auf – und übertrug sich später bei zahlreichen Auftritten nahtlos auf sein Publikum. Mit 25 Jahren hatte Leonard Bernstein seinen ersten großen Auftritt: Als Dirigent des New York Philharmonic Orchestra sprang er kurzfristig für den erkrankten Bruno Walter ein – der Beginn einer beispiellosen Weltkar...

Horowitz tells the unfolding story of this decision: of tension between the hope ushered in by the normalisation agreements, and the ...

In einer Zeit, in der seelische Erkrankungen und auch Verirrungen zunehmen, in der sich das Bild unserer Gesellschaft rasant verändert, in der die Menschen immer gestresster und überforderter sind.

2022

DE

Es ist ein schmaler Grat zwischen Genuss und Sucht. Befreien Sie sich von der Abhängigkeit! Immer mehr beherrschen Süchte unsere Gesellschaft. Auch die Pandemie führte zu einer Zunahme der psychischen Belastung und damit verbunden zu einem erhöhten Risiko für Suchtverhalten. Immer öfter wird ein Augenblick des Wohlbefindens mit dem hohen Preis der Unfreiheit bezahlt. Und immer öfter wird allein die Suche nach diesem Moment zur Sucht. Und süchtig sein kann man nach vielem: Zigaretten, Alkoh...

Angst

Erkennen – Verstehen – Überwinden

Angst ist ein Grundgefühl des Menschen, doch sie sollte nicht über den Menschen bestimmen. Jeder empfindet sie zeitweise: Angst. Dieses Urgefühl kann unser Leben dominieren. Nichts ist so bestimmend wie psychische Beklommenheit. Angst lähmt uns. Macht uns krank. Treibt uns aber auch zu Höchstleistungen an. Angst öffnet die Tore der menschlichen Psyche für viele Irritationen des Seelenlebens: Panik, Phobien und persönliche Sorgen, Depressionen, Zwangsstörungen und Süchte. Was ist das Wesen ...

The contributors to Early Modern Skepticism raise and address questions of the...

Rethinking Intuition

The Psychology of Intuition and its Role in Philosophical Inquiry

1998

EN

Ancients and moderns alike have constructed arguments and assessed theories on the basis of common sense and intuitive judgments. Yet, despite the important role intuitions play in philosophy, there has been little reflection on fundamental questions concerning the sort of data intuitions provide, how they are supposed to lead us to the truth, and why we should treat them as important. In addition, recent psychological research seems to pose serious challenges to traditional intuition-driv...

Toward a New Realism

2004

EN

Ethnic conflict is the major form of mass political violence in the world today, and it has been since World War II. Dramatic acts of terrorism and calculated responses to them may distract the attention of policymakers and the public, but ethnic and nationalist conflict continues to pose the greatest challenge to peace and security across the globe. Causes of such conflict and ideas about how to address it are hotly debated in the literature that has emerged over the past fifteen years.

Tracing the surv...
