Paul Bishop Bücher

Im November 1925 veröffentlichte Ludwig Klages in der Zeitschrift Die Tat. Monatsschrift für die Zukunft deutscher Kultur einen Beitrag mit dem Titel »Über Sexus und Eros«, den er im folgenden Jahr in die zweite, erweiterte Auflage des schmalen Buches Vom kosmogonischen Eros aufnahm. Wie zukunftsweisend war dieser Aufsatz von Klages – und ist er überhaupt noch zeitgemäß? In diesem Band, der aus einer internationalen Tagung zum Thema »Eros und Sexus in der Philosophie von Ludwig Klages« hervorgeht, wird die Problematik der Eros-Sexus-Beziehung aus verschiedenen Perspektiven untersucht und beleuchtet. Unter anderem werden folgende Aspekte erörtert: Theorien der Erotik bei Klages, Bataille, Fromm und Maffesoli; Ausdruckskunde und Ausdruckstanz in der Künstlerkolonie auf dem Monte Verità; Ausdruck und Bewegung als Grundimpulse des Eros; die Rolle des Eros in Platons Symposion; die Klages-Rezeption bei Per Leo und Gerd-Klaus Kaltenbrunner; Klages’ Auffassung des Eros und dessen Konzeption im George-Kreis sowie seine Beziehung zu diversen Personen wie etwa Friedrich Huch, Franziska zu Reventlow, Martin Heidegger und Plotin. Angesichts der eifrig verfochtenen Gender-Debatten der heutigen Zeit versuchen die Autorinnen und Autoren, die »Kosmogonität« des Eros kritisch zu prüfen und für zukünftige Diskussionen zu erschließen.

The book offers a message of hope and empowerment through the narratives of biblical characters who face struggles similar to those of modern readers. Each chapter addresses themes such as identity, addiction, and redemption, illustrating the journey from dysfunction to recovery. Drawing on his experience as a therapist and recovery leader, the author provides relatable stories that emphasize the possibility of change and healing, reassuring readers that they are not alone in their struggles.

The Anti-Christ is one of the most notorious, if not the most notorious, books by Nietzsche – and one of his most frequently misrepresented. Presupposing no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or the text, nor with Christian beliefs or doctrines, Paul Bishop carefully guides students through The Anti-Christ section by section. Bishop unpacks the difficulties that many readers face when dealing with Nietzsche’s rhetoric. And he contextualises the text within the wider contexts of Nietzsche's thought as a whole and the broader currents of contemporary 19th and 20th century thought. Student resources include a chronology of Nietzsche's life and work, a glossary of key terms, an index of names and subjects and a guide to further reading.

Remember when football was fun? When you knew the tea-lady's name, could watch your heroes train at the local park and get close enough to hear their banter? When you could go to a game without having to buy a ticket three weeks beforehand? No? Well, let Paul Bishop remind you of what it was like in his autobiographical tale From Father to Son.

The examination focuses on the conflicting discourses of theology and philology in Nietzsche's works.
