Book Description
A portrait of 1940s America by a French writer, eg. "The constipated girl smiles a loving smile at the lemon juice that relieves her intestines. In the subway, in the streets, on magazine pages, these smiles pursue me like obsessions. I read on a sign in a drugstore, 'Not to grin is a sin.' Everyone obeys the order, the system. 'Cheer up! Take it easy.' Optimism is necessary for the country's social peace and economic prosperity."

Book Description
While earlier research considered Simone de Beauvoir in the perspectives of Existentialism or Feminism, this work is the first to emphasize her reflective and descriptive approach and the full range of issues she addresses. There are valuable chapters and sections that are historical and/or comparative, but most of the contents of this work critically examine Beauvoir's views on old age (whereon she is the first phenomenologist to work), biology, gender, ethics, ethnicity (where she is among the first), and politics (again among the first). Besides their systematic as well as historical significance, these chapters show her philosophy as on a par with those of Merleau-Ponty and Jean-Paul Sartre in quality, richness and distinctiveness of problematics, and the penetration of her insight into collective as well as individual human life within the socio-historical world.

Book Description
Die Arbeit an den drei Banden dieses Worterbuches wurde 1932 in London begonnen und ist in standiger Fortsetzung auf denjetzt vorliegenden Stand gebracht worden. In seinem Aufbau und in der besonderen An ordnung des Stoffes erstrebt das Werk, einem doppelten Zweck zu dienen: Besonders leichtes und schnelles Auffinden eines Stichwortes in moglichst vielen "fertig vorbereite ten" Verbindungen und moglichst wirksamer AusschluJ3 von Obersetzungsfehlern, besonders wenn zwischen mehrfachen Be deutungen desselben Stichwortes gewiihlt werden muJ3. 1m Verfolg dieser Ziele ist das Werk im wahrsten Sinne aus der Praxis entstanden. Dementsprechend ist es auch fUr die Praxis als Nachschlagewerk ffir den Alltagsgebrauch bestimmt. An seiner Schaffung haben Men schen des Berufs- und Geschilfts1ebens mit praktischen Erfahrungen mitgewirkt. Der Entwicklung der drei Sprachen folgend, wurde der Text durch Aufnahme neuer Fachausdriicke und Wendungen bedeutend erweitert und auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Hierbei wurden auch die im Bereich der internationalen Organisationen - insbesondere der Europl\ischen Gemeinschaften - entwickelten und ge brauchlichen Ausdriicke und Begriffe miteinbezogen.

Book Description
"At the beginning of the meeting Cardinal Ottaviani said that, to speed the work up, the experts will speak only if they are asked a question. At my side, Rahner was champing at the bit, and said to me `what are we doing here . . . ?'" (Wednesday 3 June 1964) Yves Congar, OP, was one of the most important and influential theologians of the twentieth century. Much of this influence came as a result of his role as theological advisor to the bishops who participated at the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). After working under a cloud of ecclesiastical censure and suspicion in the decade prior to its start, Congar was, from beginning to end, an influential day-to-day participant in the council's work. He also managed to keep detailed personal notes throughout the time. At long last, the council diaries of Yves Congar are available in English! This material is a treasure trove of information and insight for anyone interested in the history of that council and its remarkable and historic teaching. It provides a window into the council's workings and the development of what would become a series of historic documents and declarations. It also offers Congar's own down-to-earth and personal perspective on many of the other remarkable figures who played a role in the council.
