Notat_1_2023_Ecology and Freedom – Outlines of a Liberal Climate Policy pdf Ĭlimate change is a litmus test for liberal democracy: Will we manage the rapid transition to climate neutrality and at the same time preserve the achievements of liberal modernity – or will we slide into a new era of commandments and prohibitions and a new kind of an «ecological planned economy» that distributes scarcity as fairly as possible? Or will we move forward towards ecological modernity, the unleashing of a new scientific and technological revolution and a new synthesis of man and nature? Those who set ecology and freedom against each other will lose both in the end.Ĭlimate change heralds the end of an era. ![]()

![]() ![]() The material is very rich, with a world of examples that have definite reader appeal. "It is an excellent scholarly work, thoroughly researched and lucidly written. the book has much to offer: its survey of a New England Gothic tradition and the associated medievalism, its treatment of folk belief, and its linkage of modern horror tales to ideologies that would create greater horrors yet." - New England Quarterly "Ringel's sweep is broad and illuminating. Some parts of the work read like a novel, as Ringel acts as a kind of scholarly detective hunting down some faint thread of superstition through the ages." - Studies in Weird Fiction ![]() ![]() so full of remarkable research - that old-time philological and historical research which involves poring through old newspapers, obscure treatises, and little-read works of fiction - that each page contains some illuminating insight. a stimulating and refreshing study that displays the author's wide range, exhaustive erudition, and aesthetic sensitivity, and constitutes one of the most signal contributions to the field in recent years. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() MacIntyre (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1961). a being who affirms the recognition, in the invisible, of a higher order of reality.

And I will not take the fifth amendment against self-incrimination, because my political beliefs do not incriminate me, they incriminate the Nixons, Agnews, and Reagans.” “The very institutions which condemned Nat Turner and reduced his struggle for freedom to a simple criminal case of murder, owed their existence to the decision, made a half century earlier, to take up arms against the British oppressor.” If They Come in the Morning: Voices Of Resistance (1971) Not familiar with Davis’ books?

And to top it all off, the slowly developing D/s relationship is imaginative and includes dealing with issues that would only happen between a human and a werewolf of this world. In that respect, this book reminded me of ‘Duck!’ and ‘Magpie’, two novels about avian shifters where Kim Dare developed unique cultural perceptions in that world, and she has done the same thing in ‘Axel’s Pup’. ![]() Each of the men’s point of view is well-developed and includes the way they see the world based on not only who they are as men, but who they are as a member of their species. There are also wonderful, multi-layered characters who struggle to understand their differences, and are determined to figure out how to overcome their cross-species issues-and there are a few. There is a creative shifter world with rules and behaviors all its own, mysteries to solve as the story unfolds, and, most fascinating to me, a world where humans are the bad guys, the ones who bring the darkness. This is an amazing story that contains several elements I love in any novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mira and Lemoine come to an uneasy truce, and the collective is able to continue its work.
