Download or read book Life Body Person and Self written by Stephan Grätzel and published by Verlag Herder GmbH. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Ziel des Sammelbandes ist es, in der aktuellen bioethischen Debatte neue Impulse zu setzen, da sie augenscheinlich mit ihrem Personenbegriff noch keine zufriedenstellenden Ergebnisse erreicht hat. Die, auf den ersten Blick, nonpersonale buddhistische Ethik mit ihrem annatā-Konzept könnte auf die drängenden bioethischen Fragen und Probleme neue Antworten finden. Sie steht deshalb im Zentrum dieses Bandes. Andere Beiträge beschäftigen sich mit den Themen Leben, Körper/Leib, Person und Selbst und stellen indische, afrikanische und westliche Standpunkte vor. So kann aufgezeigt werden, wie reich die Debatte an kulturell wie theoretisch unterschiedlichen Perspektiven ist. Schließlich werden noch die Feldforschungs-Ergebnisse aus Sri Lanka, Ladakh und Dharmasala des durch die DFG finanzierten Projekts präsentiert, womit erst die ambitionierte Aufgabe des Bandes erfüllt werden konnte, die festgefahrene Diskussion in der Bioethik mit alternativen Blickwinkeln wiederzubeleben. Mit Beiträgen von Stephan Grätzel, Paul Nnodim, Patricia Rehm-Grätzel, Dirk Solies, Tobias Schlicht, Michael von Brück, Jens Schlieter, Eberhard Guhe, Mark Siderits, Alfred Weil, Jonardon Ganeri, Volker Caysa, Matthias Koßler und Stephan Schaede.

Download or read book Evaluation of Translation Technology written by Walter Daelemans and published by ASP / VUBPRESS / UPA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of scholarly articles asks the question How useful is translation technology? Pointing to the need for a widely used and reliable way to test the efficiency of language translation programs, the presenters show that commercial tools such as translation memories and translation workbenches are popular, and their developers find them useful in terms of productivity, consistency, or quality. However, these claims are rarely proven using objective comparative studies, and this group describes several new statistical approaches to more rigorous evaluation methods. -- Product Description.

Download or read book The Best Film I Never Made written by Bruce Beresford and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This entertaining collection of pieces from the acclaimed director of Breaker Morant, Driving Miss Daisy and Mao’s Last Dancer features memoirs, brief lives and revealing accounts of the film world. Alongside unsung heroes from behind the camera and producers of dubious repute are Madeleine St John and Clive James, Margaret Olley and Jeffrey Smart, as well as a particularly seductive 1963 EH Holden—and Bruce Beresford’s father, whose strange and startling decline in old age is charted in a brilliant, poignant essay. Opinionated, wry and engaging, The Best Film I Never Made will provoke and delight in equal measure. It is the ideal gift not only for cinema buffs but for anyone interested in music, art or literature. Bruce Beresford has directed more than two dozen films, including Breaker Morant, Tender Mercies, Driving Miss Daisy, Black Robe, Double Jeopardy and Mao’s Last Dancer. He has directed Rigoletto for the Los Angeles Opera and A Streetcar Named Desire for Opera Australia, and is the author of Josh Hartnett Definitely Wants to Do This. He lives in Sydney. ‘Beresford’s style resembles the action of a veteran wrist-spinner. His technique looks loose, even effortless. His sentences drift along genially for a while, then suddenly bite the pitch and turn...He isn’t merely smart by Hollywood standards. He is smart by any standard...In a world rife with philistines, he demonstrates that the best revenge is laughter, and living and working well.’ Australian ‘Beresford writes with skill and insight, humour.’ Otago Daily Times ‘This quirky collection of occasional writings from 2007 to 2017 paints a picture of a modest man with a curious mind...Beresford retains a wry sense of humour and an enjoyable willingness to share candid and unflattering details.’ Big Issue ‘A collection of warm, droll and often frank personal essays...An honest and reflective book.’ AU Review

Download or read book Tragedy Offstage written by Rachel Hall Sternberg and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humane ideals were central to the image Athenians had of themselves and their city during the classical period. Tragic plays, which formed a part of civic education, often promoted pity and compassion. But it is less clear to what extent Athenians embraced such ideals in daily life. How were they expected to respond, emotionally and pragmatically, to the suffering of other people? Under what circumstances? At what risk to themselves? In this book, Rachel Hall Sternberg draws on evidence from Greek oratory and historiography of the fifth and fourth centuries BCE to study the moral universe of the ancient Athenians: how citizens may have treated one another in times of adversity, when and how they were expected to help. She develops case studies in five spheres of everyday life: home nursing, the ransom of captives, intervention in street crimes, the long-distance transport of sick and wounded soldiers, and slave torture. Her close reading of selected narratives suggests that Athenians embraced high standards for helping behavior—at least toward relatives, friends, and some fellow citizens. Meanwhile, a subtle discourse of moral obligation strengthened the bonds that held Athenian society together, encouraging individuals to bring their personal behavior into line with the ideals of the city-state.
