Sommario/riassunto

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is making significant strides on both the political and economic fronts to extricate itself from one of the bloodiest wars in African history. This remarkable turnaround offers other countries and the international community valuable lessons in preventing conflict and in coping with postconflict recovery. This book also provides a summary of the most recent research on conflict, an analysis of the causes of conflicts in Africa, and an outline of their key economic characteristics.

Sommario/riassunto

Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts ruft eine Gruppe junger Intellektueller das Zeitalter einer neuen romantischen Poesie aus. Ihre Ausdrucksform ist innovativ: eine Philosophie, die sich statt in systematischer Ordnung in bunt durcheinandergewürfelten Gedankensplittern präsentiert. Der Band liefert auf der Grundlage präziser Einzeluntersuchungen eine Gattungsbestimmung des frühromantischen Fragments und ordnet es in seinen historischen Kontext ein. Die von den Brüdern Schlegel und Novalis begründete Gattung gibt sich revolutionär, steht aber zugleich in der Tradition der Aphoristik, die mit den französischen Moralisten beginnt. Die Frühromantiker selbst weisen auf den Einfluss der pointierten Maximen Chamforts und des geistreichen Schreibstils Lessings hin. Nachfolgende Denker wie Nietzsche, Benjamin und Blanchot führen diese zwischen Aphorismus und Essay changierende Form auf je eigene Weise weiter.
