Die wissenschaftliche Gerechtigkeitsdebatte, jahrelang dominiert von John Rawls' »Theorie der Gerechtigkeit«, erhielt 1983 durch Michael Walzer eine bedeutende Wendung.

Er geht davon aus, dass wahre Gerechtigkeit nicht durch einen wörtlich verstandenen Gleichheitsbegriff ver...

Zweifellos hat die Sowjetunion die Moderne auf eige...

Iran presents a hyper dilemma for the Bush Administration. On the one hand, the power players seem to want to invade Iran to halt any nuclear weapons development and deployment. On the other hand, it seems clear that America's military resources are already seriously strained by their occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Thus a policy of diplomacy, threats and old-fashioned knuckle-breaking is being applied. Iran, of course, realises this and i...

The study of sport tourism is on the cusp of moving from a descriptive phase of research into an explanatory phase. Consequently, many academics and graduate students are searching for theories upon which to ground their work. This book draws upon theories and concepts from sociology and anthropology (the socio-cultural perspective), sport and tourism studies, and business studies.

Physical objects--such as one's own body--situate and define us, yet at the same time they are fundamentally indifferent to us.
