Pesnico Vittorio Collona (1492–1547) literarna zgodovina običajno (in upravičeno) uvršča v tok petrarkizma, a je izjemen pojav, ne le zato ker so ženski glasovi v 15. stoletju razmeroma redki, temveč ...zaradi pesniške izjemnosti, katere pomen presega zgodovinsko dobo njenega življenja. Izvirala je iz mogočnega aristokratskega rodu. V tem okolju je bila deležna vrhunske humanistične izobrazbe, vse življenje se je gibala v različnih eminentnih kulturnih krogih na italijanskem ozemlju, v katerih je igrala zelo dejavno in pomembno vlogo: skratka, bila je izjemna intelektualka v specifičnem okolju renesančne družbe. Že v mladih letih se je uveljavila kot pesnica, sčasoma pa je postala eno najslavnejših pesniških imen 16. stoletja. Njena poezija, napisana v sonetni formi, se po vsebini deli na dve veliki temi: ljubezen in duhovno življenje, tretja, epistolarna poezija, je minorna.
Vprašanje (dis)kontinuitete med etiko in politiko je civilni živec renesančnega humanizma v historični ontogenezi, ki se začne s Salutatijem, razvija s Ficinom in sklepa z Machiavellijem. Tragično ...sirensko petje človeškega bivanja vseskozi zapeljuje, a nikdar ne preglasi vzgornih upov k praksi usmerjene človeškosti, ki spekulacijo uresničuje skozi dejavnost, kontemplacijo udejanja skozi politiko, sveto izpričuje skozi posvetnost. Humanistična duhovna in filozofska prenova ciceronskega nauka o dobrem delovanju na pragu modernosti nemirno, pa vendar srečno pripelje antropološko vexata quaestio skozi Scilo in Karibdo družbene etike, nihajoče med jajcem in jabolkom (ab ovo usque ad mala) Salutatijevega voluntarističnega optimizma, Ficinovega novoplatonizma in Machiavellijevega antropološkega pesimizma, med zemljo, nebom in breznom. Civilni humanizem še danes budi in bodri vse, ki se v somraku človeškosti še trudijo služiti kvalificiranemu življenju.
As financial turmoil in Europe preoccupies political leaders and global markets, it becomes more important than ever to understand the forces that underpin the European Union, hold it together and ...drive it forward. This timely book provides a gripping account of the realities of power politics among European states and between their leaders. Drawing on long experience working behind the scenes, Luuk van Middelaar captures the dynamics and tensions shaping the European Union from its origins until today.It is a story of unexpected events and twists of fate, bold vision and sheer necessity, told from the perspective of the keyplayers - from de Gaulle to Havel, Thatcher to Merkel. Van Middelaar cuts through the institutional complexity by exploring the unforeseen outcomes of decisive moments and focusing on the quest for public legitimacy.As a first-hand witness to the day-to-day actions and decisions of Europe's leaders, the author provides a vivid narrative of the crises and compromises that united a continent. By revisiting the past, he sheds fresh light on the present state of European unification and offers insights into what the future may hold.
There has been an enormous increase in interest in the use of evidence for public policymaking, but the vast majority of work on the subject has failed to engage with the political nature of decision ...making and how this influences the ways in which evidence will be used (or misused) within political areas. This book provides new insights into the nature of political bias with regards to evidence and critically considers what an ‘improved’ use of evidence would look like from a policymaking perspective. Part I describes the great potential for evidence to help achieve social goals, as well as the challenges raised by the political nature of policymaking. It explores the concern of evidence advocates that political interests drive the misuse or manipulation of evidence, as well as counter-concerns of critical policy scholars about how appeals to ‘evidence-based policy’ can depoliticise political debates. Both concerns reflect forms of bias – the first representing technical bias, whereby evidence use violates principles of scientific best practice, and the second representing issue bias in how appeals to evidence can shift political debates to particular questions or marginalise policy-relevant social concerns. Part II then draws on the fields of policy studies and cognitive psychology to understand the origins and mechanisms of both forms of bias in relation to political interests and values. It illustrates how such biases are not only common, but can be much more predictable once we recognise their origins and manifestations in policy arenas. Finally, Part III discusses ways to move forward for those seeking to improve the use of evidence in public policymaking. It explores what constitutes ‘good evidence for policy’, as well as the ‘good use of evidence’ within policy processes, and considers how to build evidence-advisory institutions that embed key principles of both scientific good practice and democratic representation. Taken as a whole, the approach promoted is termed the ‘good governance of evidence’ – a concept that represents the use of rigorous, systematic and technically valid pieces of evidence within decision-making processes that are representative of, and accountable to, populations served.
This article presents the image of Croatia in the autobiographical works and memoirs of Janez Trdina-more precisely, the image, morality, and character of the Croats, both men and women, their life ...and clothing, the life of Croatian farmers from the central parts of Croatia, the Croatian clergy, life in Croatia under the Bach's absolutism and after its fall, the images of Varaždin, Rijeka, and other Croatian cities, and a view of the Rijeka reading room.
Against the backdrop of ever-increasing nationalist violence during the last decade of the twentieth century, this book challenges standard analyses of nation formation by elaborating on the nation's ...dream-like hold over the modern social imagination. Stathis Gourgouris argues that the national fantasy lies at the core of the Enlightenment imaginary, embodying its central paradox: the intertwining of anthropological universality with the primacy of a cultural ideal.Crucial to the operation of this paradox and fundamental in its ambiguity is the figure of Greece, the universal alibi and cultural predicate behind national-cultural consolidation throughout colonialist Europe. The largely unpredictable institution of a modern Greek nation in 1830 undoes the interweaving of Enlightenment and Philhellenism, whose centrifugal strands continue to unravel the certainty of European history, down to the internal predicaments of the European Union or the tragedy of the Balkan conflicts.This 25th Anniversary edition of the book includes a new preface by the author in which he situates the book's original insights in retrospect against the newer developments in the social and political conditions of a now globalized world: the neocolonial resurgence of nationalism and racism, the failure of social democratic institutions, the crisis of sovereignty and citizenship, and the brutal conditions of stateless peoples.
Cilj rada bio je dobiti uvid u neovisno življenje osoba s invaliditetom. Željela se ispitati povezanost samostalnog funkcioniranja, kvalitete života, prostorne pristupačnosti i nekih aspekata ...neovisnog življenja promatranog kroz stupanj samostalnosti u obavljanju svakodnevnih obiteljskih i kućanskih aktivnosti i učestalost obavljanja takvih aktivnosti. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 400 ispitanika u gradu Zagrebu s obzirom na njihovu prevalenciju u populaciji glede oštećenja. Podaci su prikupljeni standardiziranim upitnicima koji su se odnosili na spomenuta područja promatranja: skala kvalitete života, skala uključenosti u zajednicu, skala samostalnog funkcioniranja osoba s invaliditetom te skala zadovoljstva životom i upitnik koji se odnosio na socio demografska obilježja ispitanika. Rezultati su pokazali da postoji povezanost između neovisnog življenja promatranog kroz aspekte stupnja samostalnosti i učestalosti obavljanja aktivnosti u obitelji i prostorne pristupačnosti, kvalitete života i svakodnevnog funkcioniranja. Regresijskom analizom je utvrđeno da tek u maloj mjeri ovi elementi određuju sam koncept neovisnog življenja promatran kao stupanj samostalnosti i učestalost obavljanja određenih aktivnosti u kućanstvu i obitelji i da je kao takav povezan s samostalnim funkcioniranjem, kvalitetom života, zadovoljstvom životom, prostornom pristupačnošću, samostalnim kretanjem, neovisnim donošenjem odluka. Rezultati istraživanja upućuju na složenost koncepta neovisnog življenja te na daljnja istraživanja ovog konstrukta uzimajući u obzir spoznaje dobivene u ovom istraživanju.
With unique access to Chinese leaders at all levels of the party and government, best-selling author David M. Lampton tells the story of China's political elites from their own perspectives. Based on ...over five hundred interviews, Following the Leader offers a rare glimpse into how the attitudes and ideas of those at the top have evolved over the past four decades. Here China's rulers explain their strategies and ideas for moving the nation forward, share their reflections on matters of leadership and policy, and discuss the challenges that keep them awake at night. As the Chinese Communist Party installs its new president, Xi Jinping, for a presumably ten-year term, questions abound. How will the country move forward as its explosive rate of economic growth begins to slow? How does it plan to deal with domestic and international calls for political reform and to cope with an aging population, not to mention an increasingly fragmented bureaucracy and society? In this insightful book we learn how China's leaders see the nation's political future, as well as about its global strategic influence.
