World War Two first person German U-Boat (submarine) veterans' memories of the Battle of the Atlantic.

This collection marks a new era of Anglophone research into the philosophy of J.G. Fichte, both in its historical context and in its relationship to contemporary controversies.Several of the essays demonstrate the relevance of Fichte's thought to current debates over philosophical "foundationalism." Others address such topics as the relationship between morality and law, the role of the imagination, the connection between self-consciousness and intersubjectivity, the status of language, the dialectical character of philosophy, and the relationship between Fichte's philosophy and that of such thinkers as Leibniz, Schelling, Heidegger, and Tugenhat.This volume also includes the first complete bibliography of English translations of Fichte's writings and of works in English dealing with every aspect of Fichte's thought, which will prove an invaluable research tool for anyone working in this area.The collection will appeal to all scholars, teachers, and students with a general interest in German idealism, as well as specifically in the philosophy of Fichte. It provides both an excellent overview of the current state of research in this field and pointers for future studies.

The Italian artist Medardo Rosso (1858-1928) is a key figure in the development of modern sculpture. His portraits and figure studies have long been considered sculptural equivalents to Impressionism's concern with light at the expense of form. This book presents an artist more deeply concerned with materials, process, and the reproduction of his works than previously imagined. Rosso's fascination with technique is explored in detail from art historical, technical, and phenomenological perspectives. Drawing on a wealth of new archival material and close-up study of the sculptures, the authors show that Rosso's waxes, which are his best-known works, were not modelled by hand but cast with the help of gelatin moulds. The authors compare wax, plaster, and bronze casts of the same subjects to show that the manipulation of materials for visual effect was at the heart of his work. The book also reproduces and analyses Rosso's fascinating photographs of his own sculpture, which offer important clues to the charged relationship he sought to create between viewers and the mysterious busts and figures he made.
