David A. White Bücher

Kopiervorlagen für Lehrer an Realschulen, Gesamtschulen und Gymnasien, Fächer: Ethik, Praktische Philosophie, Projektunterricht, Klasse: 7−13 +++ Für die alten Griechen begann Philosophie damit, dass man sich über etwas wunderte. – So gesehen sind Kinder und Jugendliche die besten Philosophen! Sie staunen über vieles und stellen sich Fragen: Soll man immer darauf hören, was andere sagen? Darf ich wirklich niemals lügen? Darf ich mir etwas Verliehenes ungefragt wieder holen? Auf diese Alltagsfragen haben schon große Philosophen Antworten gesucht und gefunden. Mit den Arbeitsblättern und Lesetexten dieser Unterrichtsmaterialien für die Sekundarstufe können Sie Ihre Schüler zum Nach- und Weiterdenken anregen: Anhand von 40 Ausgangsfragen werden sie in der Schule schrittweise in die Grundprobleme der Metaphysik, die Philosophiegeschichte und die wichtigsten philosophischen Themen, wie die Erkenntnistheorie und Logik, eingeführt. Sie erfahren, wie die großen Philosophen von Aristoteles bis Wittgenstein diese 40 Fragen beantwortet haben, und lernen damit im Unterricht auch das Leben und Wirken der wichtigsten Vertreter der Philosophie kennen. Dabei erkennen sie die Bedeutung philosophischer Fragen für das eigene Leben und die Lebensplanung. Das Projektbuch eignet sich bestens für die Unterrichtsvorbereitung im Philosophieunterricht und Ethikunterricht, aber auch für die Werteerziehung in der außerschulischen Jugendarbeit.

A richly illustrated tapestry of interwoven studies spanning some six thousand years of history, Dæmons Are Forever is at once a record of archaic contacts and transactions between humans and protean spirit beings—dæmons—and an account of exchanges, among human populations, of the science of spirit beings: dæmonology. Since the time of the Indo-European migrations, and especially following the opening of the Silk Road, a common dæmonological vernacular has been shared among populations ranging from East and South Asia to Northern Europe. In this virtuoso work of historical sleuthing, David Gordon White recovers the trajectories of both the “inner demons” cohabiting the bodies of their human hosts and the “outer dæmons” that those same humans recognized each time they encountered them in their enchanted haunts: sylvan pools, sites of geothermal eruptions, and dark forest groves. Along the way, he invites his readers to reconsider the potential and promise of the historical method in religious studies, suggesting that a “connected histories” approach to Eurasian dæmonology may serve as a model for restoring history to its proper place at the heart of the discipline of the history of religions.

White retraces the strange and circuitous journey of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra from its ancient origins to today, bringing to life the improbable cast of characters whose interpretations and misappropriations led to its revered place in contemporary popular culture.
