Therefore, language cannot be measured as neutral (Wijsen, 2012, p. 77). Not only does it outline, regulate and strengthen our understanding of the world, but language also sets out the actions accessible to us, while eliminating and delegitimizing other worldviews (Wijsen, 2012, p. 71). In this respect discourse serves as an instrument of influence and control often used by groups motivated for power to generate and preserve hegemonic regimes (Fairclough, 1992). The purpose of this paper is to examine the linguistic strategy employed by ISIS as a means through which it constructs the notion of the Muslim Ummah (Muslim community), which seeks to lay emphasis on the unity of an international Muslim community based off the supremacy of Islam. -

Collisions with Hegel in Bertolt Brecht's Early Materialism DISSERTATIO
“Und das Geistige, das sehen Sie, das ist nichts.” Collisions with Hegel in Bertolt Brecht’s Early Materialism DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jesse C. Wood, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Germanic Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2012 Committee Members: John Davidson, Advisor Bernd Fischer Bernhard Malkmus Copyright by Jesse C. Wood 2012 Abstract Bertolt Brecht began an intense engagement with Marxism in 1928 that would permanently shape his own thought and creative production. Brecht himself maintained that important aspects resonating with Marxist theory had been central, if unwittingly so, to his earlier, pre-1928 works. A careful analysis of his early plays, poetry, prose, essays, and journal entries indeed reveals a unique form of materialism that entails essential components of the dialectical materialism he would later develop through his understanding of Marx; it also invites a similar retroactive application of other ideas that Brecht would only encounter in later readings, namely those of the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Initially a direct result of and component of his discovery of Marx, Brecht’s study of Hegel would last throughout the rest of his career, and the influence of Hegel has been explicitly traced in a number Brecht’s post-1928 works. While scholars have discovered proto-Marxist traces in his early work, the possibilities of the young Brecht’s affinities with the idealist philosopher have not been explored. Although ultimately an opposition between the idealist Hegel and the young Bürgerschreck Brecht is to be expected, one finds a surprising number of instances where the two men share an unlikely commonality of imagery. -

As such, film and video have extended human sense-perception properties by mimicking and manipulating the natural processes of the optic nerve. -

Book Review F. J. Mootz III and G. H. Taylor, eds. Gadamer and Ricoeur: Critical Horizons for Contemporary Hermeneutics (New York/London: Continuum, 2011), 297 pp. Five years ago, it was totally impossible to find a book entirely dedicated to a systematic study of the complex relations between the hermeneutics of Gadamer and Ricoeur. This was quite surprising if we consider the importance of these two philosophers to the development of a hermeneutical philosophy over the last century. Fortunately, it seems that the relevance of a critical discussion on Gadamer’s and Ricoeur’s hermeneutics has recently become more obvious, first with the publication of Daniel Frey’s book on L’interprétation et la lecture chez Ricoeur et Gadamer (2008), and now with this initiative of Francis J. Mootz III and George H. Taylor to bring into conversation "Gadamerian and Ricoeurian scholars" in one volume. The result of this well- inspired idea is a book containing twelve chapters studying, from different perspectives, the agreements and disagreements between Gadamer’s and Ricoeur’s philosophies, not without significant convergences and divergences between the authors. -

On the Development of Critical Theory
Analyse & Kritik 30/2008 ( c Lucius & Lucius, Stuttgart) p. 331–354 Anton Leist The Long Goodbye: On the Development of Critical Theory Abstract: It is not easy to give up on a tradition that promises to rationalize, explain, and thereby ultimately help improve, society. This article narrates the history of Cri- tical Theory in three stages, following the dynamics of its own self-criticism during distinct historical periods and within different societies. Horkheimer/Adorno, Haber- mas and Honneth are read as participating in a philosophical project of societal ratio- nalism which can be criticized by appeal to a pragmatist view of social theories, and specifically the ‘pragmatic maxim’. In spite of its post-metaphysical announcements, Critical Theory overextends itself when it seeks to reconcile fully the normative and the empirical. An alternative, and more explicitly ethical and empirically controllable, scheme for critical theories (plural!) is suggested. 0. Why We Need Critical Theory The idea of a ‘critical theory’ of society—importantly, of society as a whole—has dropped out of present debates in social philosophy and the social sciences, and it may have dropped out for good. Moral and political philosophy have regained the intellectual terrain they lost to Marxism and the newly emerging discipline of sociology at the end of the 19th century. Today statements about how to improve society are typically suggestions for small-scale improvements to special institutions within society, backed up by reference to ‘our’ moral intuitions, a common moral knowledge taken as given among a representative part of citizens, or, even more abstractly, among humans. -

Yeo objected when the town voted to adopt a condom distribution policy in Lex- ington High School ("LHS" ). 1 He responded by forming a political action group to oppose the policy arid submitting pro-abstinence ad- vertisements for publication in the official LHS yearbook ("the year- book") and newspaper ("the Musket"). 2 When student editors of both publications declined to run Yeo's advertisements, citing unwritten policies prohibiting the acceptance of political advertisements, Yeo claimed that his First and Fourteenth Amendment rights had been violated and threatened to sues Upon the editors' issuance of their final refusal to publish, Yco brought an action against his town and his son's high school principal in federal district court.' Both the local press and the district court decision that granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment portrayed plaintiff Yeo as overly litigious and moralistic. -
