What Does "Academic" Mean? focuses, in two essays, on the prospects of contemporary universities. The term "academic" is traced back to Plato's Academy in a grove in Athens. The Academy is isolated, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Western universities founded in the Middle Ages show continuity, via Byzantium, with Plato's Academy. Not surprisingly, the Oxford Dictionary quoted by Pieper defines "academic" as "Not leading to a ...

Der moderne Gesundheitsbetrieb ist mit sehr widersprüchlichen Tendenzen konfrontiert: Auf der einen Seite verstärken sich die Zwänge der immer komplizierter werdenden Gesundheitsversorgung, auf der anderen Seite wird die Gestaltung des Arzt-Patient-Verhältnisses und das Mitspracherecht der Patienten in therapeutischen und finanziellen Belangen immer wichtiger. Dieses Buch versucht die Problematik der Wahrhaftigkeit zwischen Arzt und Patient au...

Josef Pieper's readers become accustomed to the clarity of thought and expression in his writing--in combination with the impression he gives of being profoundly in touch with fundamentals. His conceptual clarity emerges from his awareness of basic human experience. This book began life in 1933 as a small book produced in a sociological research institute and was encumbered, not surprisingly, with unwieldy academic jargon. It took on a new lif...

The current volume deals with the post-war years, 1945-1964, offering a personal documentation of the institutional rubble through which an emerging academic and philo...

Sie bleiben meist im Hintergrund und sind doch als engste Vertraute des Papstes immer dabei: die Privatsekretäre der Päpste. Dieser sensationelle Bildband mit Fotos aus den Pontifikaten von Pius XII. bis Franziskus stammt vom einzigen Fotografen weltweit, der diese Dokumentation bieten kann: Josef A. Slominski. Christa Langen-Peduto hat die noch lebenden Papstsekretäre und enge Vertraute von bereits verstorbenen Sekretären getroffen und ausfüh...

This title, which at first sight seems curious, shows Pieper's philosophical work as rooted in the basics. He takes his inspiration from Plato - and his Socrates - and Thomas Aquinas. With them, he is interested in philosophy as pure theory, the theoretical being precisely the non-practical. The philosophizer wants to know what all existence is fundamentally about, what "reality" "really" means. With Plato, Pieper eschews the use of language t...

The authors give, in brief and simple form, a summary of the fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church, and of the fruits of the faith contained in the teachings. The first part,

In ordinary conversation, including among the "educated", the word "sin" rarely gets mentioned except when one is trying to be coy or facetious. As Thomas Mann once said, "sin" is nowadays "an amusing word used only when one is trying to get a laugh".But this small work will interpret sin in its true -- that is, serious -- meaning. What will emerge from its analysis is the discovery that the concept of sin can still serve to unlock the mystery...

This is a profound reflection on contemporary understandings and misunderstandings of what tradition is. Pieper argues powerfully that the modern scientific situation, and the zeal for the new, do not and cannot supersede the human need of tradition if we are to orient ourselves in the world and find meaning. Pieper's quest for the reconciliation of reason/science with tradition/revelation suggests Thomas Aquinas speaking in the language and c...
