Download or read book German Culture Past and Present Classic Reprint written by Ernest Belfort Bax and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Culture, Past and Present The following pages aim at giving a general view of the social and intellectual life of Germany from the end of the mediaeval period to modern times. In the earlier por tion of the book, the first half of the sixteenth, century in Germany is dealt with at much greater length and in greater detail than the later period, a sketch of which forms the subject Of the last two Chapters. The reason for this is to be found in the fact that while the roots Of the later German Character and culture are to be sought for in the life of this period, it is comparatively little known to the average educated English reader. In the early fifteenth century, during the Reformation era, German life and culture in its widest sense began to consolidate themselves, and at the same time to take on an originality which differentiated them from the general life and culture of Western Europe as it was during the Middle Ages. To those who would fully appreciate the later developments, therefore, it is essential thoroughly to understand the details of the social and intellectual history of the time in question. For the later period there are many more works of a generally popular character available for the student and general reader. The chief aim of the sketch given in Chapters IX and X is to bring into sharp relief those events which, in the Author's view, represent more or less crucial stages in the development of modern Germany.

Download or read book The Museum and Popular Culture Classic Reprint written by T. R. Adam and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Museum and Popular Culture We are apt to underestimate the importance of origins in appraising present-day institutions. We judge the development of museums as instruments for popular learning in science, in history, and in art as if the objective of widespread knowledge among the masses had always been an avowed aim of our culture. In historical fact, we have had less than two centuries of open acknowledgment of a general right of access to the uncensored tools of learning. In many fields, particularly those that touch upon the domain of theology or human biology, such freedom as exists for the untrammeled propagation of facts and opinions is of very recent origin. For at least ten centuries during the formative period of our Christian era, the widespread propaga tion of critical and factual information concerning man and his environment was not only physically difficult but also anathema to all the powers that ruled the community of Christendom.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctrine and Discipline of Human Culture Man is the noblest of the Creator's works. He is the most richly gifted of all his creatures. His sphere of action is the broadest; his influence the widest and to him is given Nature and Life for his heritage and his possession. He holds dominion over the Outward. He is the rightful Sove reign of the Earth, fitted to subdue all things to him selfi'and to know of no superior, save God. And yet he enters upon the scene of his labors, a feeble and wailing Babe, at first unconscious of the place as signed him, and needs years of tutelage and discipline to fit him for the high and austere duties that await him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Silent Past: Mysterious and Forgotten Cultures of the World Civilization is a word of wide application. It is the sum total of human achievement, of techniques, of methods of building and transportation, of living conditions, of handicrafts and utensils, of written characters, of sciences; it is the moral and religious order of things; it is the behavior of each individual; it embraces all man's Spiritual endeavors, his art and morals, his sense of values and his religion.

Download or read book Culturgeschichtliche Novellen written by W. H. Riehl and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.

Download or read book Fat written by Christopher E. Forth and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fat: such a little word evokes big responses. While ‘fat’ describes the size and shape of bodies, our negative reactions to corpulent bodies also depend on something tangible and tactile; as this book argues, there is more to fat than meets the eye. Fat: A Cultural History of the Stuff of Life offers a historical reflection on how fat has been perceived and imagined in the West since antiquity. Featuring fascinating historical accounts, philosophical, religious and cultural arguments, including discussions of status, gender and race, the book digs deep into the past for the roots of our current notions and prejudices. Three central themes emerge: how we have perceived and imagined obesity over the centuries; how fat as a substance has elicited disgust and how it evokes perceptions of animality; but also how it has been associated with vitality and fertility. By exploring the complex ways in which fat, fatness and fattening have been perceived over time, this book provides rich insights into the stuff our stereotypes are made of.
