Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

As it entered the 1960s American institutional psychiatry was thriving with a high percentage of medical students choosing the field. But after Thomas S. Szasz published his masterwork in 1961 The Myth of Mental Illness the psychiatric world was thrown into chaos. Szasz enlightened the world about what he called the “myth of mental illness. ” His point was not that no one is mentally ill or that people labeled as mentally ill do not exist. Instead he believed that diagnosing people as mentally ill was inconsistent with the rules governing pathology and the classification of disease. He asserted that the diagnosis of mental illness is a type of social control not medical science. The editors were uniquely close to Szasz and here they gather for the first time a group of their peers—experts on psychiatry psychology rhetoric and semiotics—to elucidate Szasz’s body of work. Thomas S. Szasz: The Man and His Ideas examines his work and legacy including new material on the man himself and the seeds he planted. They discuss Szasz’s impact on their thinking about the distinction between physical and mental illness addiction the insanity plea schizophrenia and implications for individual freedom and responsibility. This important volume offers insight into and understanding of a man whose ideas were far beyond his time. | Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

Soviet Society And Culture Essays In Honor Of Vera S. Dunham

Soviet Society And Culture Essays In Honor Of Vera S. Dunham

Academic analysis has not always kept pace with the dramatic changes that have occurred in the USSR since Stalin’s time for objective study has often been overshadowed—especially in the 1980s—by publicity concerning the negative aspects of the “Evil Empire. ” Recently however because of reforms initiated by Gorbachev the dynamics of the Soviet system have come into sharper focus. This book provides a wide-ranging detailed view of economic social ideological and literary aspects of the Soviet system leading up to the Gorbachev era. The essays include both historical and contemporary perspectives on the sources of stability (and stagnation) in the post-Stalin years. Examining the intricate fabric of Soviet society the contributors provide insights into the social and cultural motivations for Gorbachev’s “restructuring” policies. Their themes echo the work of Vera S. Dunham who for more than four decades has focused on diverse aspects of Soviet society and culture particularly on the noncoercive means of social control that have often been overlooked but that are a vital component of the Soviet system. | Soviet Society And Culture Essays In Honor Of Vera S.

Dallas who defined the periodical as 'the great event in modern history' the book explores these premises and conclusions regarding authorship publishing and readership considering the nineteenth century as a whole. After an introductory section discussing questions of theory and method the analysis first offers an overview of the quantitative growth of the periodical market whether measured in terms of publications readership or authorship before turning to a more detailed consideration of its qualitative determinants and effects again distinguishing the same three aspects.

T. S. Eliot’s Ariel Poems Making Sense of the Times

T. S. Eliot’s Ariel Poems Making Sense of the Times

T. S. Eliot once stated that the supreme poet in writing himself writes his time. In saying that he honoured Dante and Shakespeare but this pithy remark fittingly characterises his own work including The Ariel Poems with which he promptly and pointedly responded to the problems of his times. Published with unwavering regularity a poem a year the Ariels were composed in the period when Eliot was mainly writing prose; and like his prose they reverberated with diverse contemporary issues ranging from the revision of the Book of Common Prayer to the translations of Heidegger to the questions of leadership and populism. In order to highlight the poems' historical specificity this study seeks to outline the constellations of thought connecting Eliot’s poetry and prose. In addition it attempts to expose the Ariels’ shared arc of meaning an unobtrusive incarnational metaphor determining the perspective from which they propose an unorthodox understanding of the epoch— an underlying pattern of thought bringing them together into a conceptually discrete set. This is the first study that both universalizes and historicises the series striving to disclose the regular without suppressing the random. Approaching the series as a system of orderly disorder the notion very much at home with chaos theory it suggests new intellectual contexts offering interpretations that are either fresh or significantly reangled.

UNESCO s Utopia of Lifelong Learning An Intellectual History

UNESCO s Utopia of Lifelong Learning An Intellectual History

With a focus on lifelong learning this book examines the shifts that UNESCO’s educational concepts have undergone in reaction to historical pressures and dilemmas since the founding of the organization in 1945. The tensions between UNESCO’s humanistic worldview and the pressures placed on the organization have forced UNESCO to depart from its utopian vision of lifelong learning while still claiming continuity. Elfert interprets the history of lifelong learning in UNESCO as part of a much bigger story of a struggle of ideologies between a humanistic-emancipatory and an economistic-technocratic worldview. With a close study of UNESCO’s two education flagship reports the Faure and Delors reports Elfert sheds light on the global impact of UNESCO’s professed humanistic goals and its shifting influence on lifelong learning around the world. | UNESCO�s Utopia of Lifelong Learning An Intellectual History
