Professor Spingarn has done students of literature a real favor; for he has gathered into a single and well-made volume, golden pages from one of the great masters of literature. As divergent-minded judges as Carlyle, Matthew Arnold and Sainte-Beuve acclaimed Goethe the supreme literary critic of all time and, whatever might be said against so superlative an opinion, certainly Goethe's many-sidedness, his undoubted genius, and his keen insight all conspired to give his judgments on literature a value too great to be ignored. All phases of his critical activity are represented in this excellent volume, which is the work of several translators, all of high standard. Goethe was keenly interested in French and in English literature, no less than in German, and for the English reader there will be much to stimulate thought in his sympathetic appreciation of Shakespeare. Those of us who have found the great dramatist's plays strangely failing in power to lift us out of ou selves, can find much to ponder over in Goethe's declaration: "Shakespeare gets his effect by means of the living word, and it is for this reason that one should hear him read, for then the attention is not distracted either by a too adequate or too in adequate stage-setting. There is no higher . . . pleasure than to sit with closed eyes and hear a naturally expressive voice recite, not declaim, a play of Shakespeare's." Goethe was no hard and fast critic, and as he re-read a book and found that it appealed to him in a new light, he did not hesitate to revise his earlier opinions and even to call attention to corrected impressions or reversals of judgments. It was because of his open-mindedness to new impressions that his critical dicta appear perennially fresh and stimulate the reader by their frankness and their vitality. The task of collecting these admirable and valuable essays required a scholar. It found one in Professor Spingarn, to whom the lovers of the best in literature owe genuine gratitude for this volume. The essays are grouped under The theory of art — The theory of literature — On Shakespeare — On other writers — Extracts from the conversations with Eckermann.

Have you at any time asked yourself why we are here? Do you believe in a superior being or in spirituality? Are we really the only ones that exist in the here and now? By reading "The Spiritual Journey" we will be reminded that, inside each one of us there is a treasure that is difficult to explain and that we have perhaps forgotten about. Some call it a spirit; others call it light, and others, energy. But if we look deep inside our minds and are brave enough to decide to listen to ourselves, perhaps we will realise that this treasure exists.

Climate change is the central global problem of the twenty-first century, and its effects are now being felt throughout the world economy: damage caused by all kinds of extreme weather, droughts, the simultaneous rise in ocean levels and increasing hunger are forcing us to take action. The reduction in greenhouse gases required cannot be tackled by national measures alone and demands a geopolitically coordinated approach. This needs to take into account both the findings of climate science and also economic facts and constraints. In this context, the first step is to present the economic and ecological facts and interrelationships, sector-specific climate risks and approaches to economic solutions.

Theologians maintain that just the presence of a feeling of God in Man's heart, is, in itself, a proof of His existence. Since –as they assure us- that feeling is innate, it's actually a reminiscence. Well, if it's as they say, Blanca, then, along with a feeling of God (and, as I hope to demonstrate during the course of these letters, closely bound to it), there exists in Man's heart another innate feeling of no less power. The feeling of the twin soul, of the one creature who, out of every other, is destined to us, for it's the other half that will us complete us." Thus begins one of the letters of this epistolary essay in which the author undertakes an exhaustive tracing of the theory of soul mates in the history of Religion and Philosophy, of Literature and Occult Sciences, showing the preeminent place that in the worldview of the ancient sages occupied this enigmatic feeling that we know today with the name of romantic love.

Die Pandemie namens Corona war auch im zweiten Quartal 2020 das alles beherrschende Thema, und der das Thema beherrschende Tenor war Die elende Sehnsucht nach ‚Normalität‘. Wie wenig die ‚normalen‘, nämlich hier und weltweit alternativlos herrschenden wirtschaftlichen und politischen Zustände irgendeine Anhänglichkeit oder Sehnsucht verdienen, das zeigt nicht zuletzt der pandemische Ausnahmezustand selbst. Die öffentliche Debatte um die Frage „Wer oder was ist systemrelevant?“ angesichts von Lock-down-Verfügungen samt Ausnahmen, Sonderschichten samt eventuellen Extravergütungen und einer Runde gratis Wertschätzung für Pflegekräfte etc. war zwar an verlogener Moral nicht zu überbieten. Aber alle wirklichen Schäden und die praktischen Maßnahmen der Obrigkeit machen umso deutlicher: ‚Relevant‘ oder nicht – das entscheidet sich an der Logik marktwirtschaftlicher Normalität. Und die ist nun einmal eine der kapitalistischen Ausbeutung, entsprechender Reichtumsvermehrung auf der einen, einer massenhaften, teils nützlichen, teils bloß unnützen Armut auf der anderen Seite. Daran ändert sich auch in Zeiten der Seuche nichts. Auch um die Normalität des deutschen Schulbetriebs gibt es seit Corona viele Sorgen. Die drehen sich um regelgerechte Prüfungen, mangelnde Gleichheit und Vergleichbarkeit von home schooling, fehlende Sozialkontakte und zeugen allesamt von einem: von Zweck und Funktionsprinzipien der Schule der Konkurrenz als Vorbereitungs- und Ausleseanstalt für die marktwirtschaftliche Berufshierarchie. Das Wichtigste, was jeder aus der schulischen Konkurrenz, egal wie weit er es in ihr bringt, fürs Leben mitnimmt, ist die Einübung von Konkurrenztugenden samt allen verlogenen Moralismen einer nationalen Werte- und Verantwortungsgemeinschaft. Ganz normal geht auch der Rassismus in den USA seinen Gang. Leider ist auch der werweißwievielte von US-Polizisten zu Tode gebrachte Afroamerikaner samt den folgenden Unruhen und der militärischen Antwort des Staates für die deutsche Öffentlichkeit nur Gelegenheit, das Ideal eines rassismusfreien Amerika zu beschwören, um die rassistische Realität Trump anzulasten. Dabei beweist der umgekehrt mit seinem ganzen Auftritt, wie systemisch der Rassismus einer freien, egalitären Staatsgewalt zum amerikanischen Freiheitsstall gehört. Gar nicht normal findet der französische Patriot und gute Europäer Macron den Zustand von Europa, weil und solange das nicht so ausgreifend und systematisch als Militär- und Kriegsmacht agiert, wie es das seiner atomwaffengestützten Meinung nach gefälligst tun sollte. Mit seiner Parole Die NATO ist „hirntot“ – es lebe die sicherheitspolitische Autonomie Europas unter Frankreichs Führung! irritiert er die deutsche Politik und Öffentlichkeit; die sehen darin den Angriff auf ihre Vision imperialistischer Weltgeltung Europas – unter deutscher Führung nämlich. Der § 18 der Abhandlung über die Konkurrenz der Kapitalisten, der die geistigen Verrenkungen erklärt, mit denen diese Gesells...
