John Gibson Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Swift•boat•ing (swift-bo-ting) n. as defined by the Left, the political trick of claiming to expose the truth while in fact lying. Was George W. Bush really the worst president in American history? Was the Iraq War really the biggest foreign policy blunder of all recorded time? Did Bush really steal the 2000 election, make war on civil rights, torture innocent goatherds, and prove America's racism during Hurricane Katrina? If this is what you think, then you may have been swiftboated by the liberal media. The swiftboating of George W. Bush began in 2000 and continued throughout his presidency, spreading lies about his response to 9/11, the Iraq War, warrantless wiretapping, enhanced interrogation techniques, the Surge, uranium from Nigeria, the number of deaths in Iraq, the federal response to Katrina, and much, much more. In How the Left Swiftboated America, talk-radio host and bestselling author John Gibson sets the record straight, showing how, in case after case, Bush's performance was much better than most people were misled to believe. And he calls on all Americans to fight back and put an end to the swiftboating lies of the Left.

Die Bedeutung von Wittgensteins Philosophie für unser Verständnis von Literatur rückt vermehrt in den Mittelpunkt der Diskussion – und das, obwohl sich Wittgenstein selbst kaum über Literatur geäußert hat. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes, u. a. von Stanley Cavell, Cora Diamond, Garry L. Hagberg und Marjorie Perloff, erkunden die Implikationen von Wittgensteins Werk für Fragen der Literaturtheorie bzw. der Philosophie der Literatur und fragen nach der philosophischen Bedeutung der literarischen Form von Wittgensteins Texten. Sie reflektieren unsere Praxis des Lesens und der Interpretation und stellen Bezüge zur Romantik, zur Moderne und zum Dekonstruktivismus her. Entstanden sind überraschende, auf Wittgensteins Werk beruhende Ansätze etwa zur Natur der poetischen Sprache, zur Logik und Semantik von fiktionalem Diskurs, zur Frage nach dem kognitiven Gehalt von literarischen Texten sowie zur Relevanz der Literatur für Ethik, Sprachphilosophie und Erkenntnistheorie.
