Understanding the historical roots of the phenomenon becomes more and more necessary to navigate our contemporary struggles with availability and control of personal information. When we ponder what people of the past valued and aimed to protect and what they considered threatening and needing uncovering, we achieve a broader perspective of the importance of privacy in everyday life. The early modern period, in particular, was a period in which many views and experiences of privacy were negotiated and consolidated into more recognisable feelings and norms in different layers of society. This volume will focus on Saxony, as it is a great example to explore how privacy was created and negotiated in the early modern period. Throughout the sixteenth century, Saxony rose to prominence in the broader European context through the influence of its Electors. Saxony is an emblematic context to explore notions of privacy in the early modern period, as the region underwent a range of transformations ? religious, political, legal, and cultural ? that reconfigured the thresholds between the private and the public. The main goals of this volume are: to put Saxony on the map of early modern studies of privacy by bringing forth the region?s contribution to political, cultural, scientific, religious, and legal developments; to challenge preconceived notions of privacy in the early modern German context by providing new analytical tools to analyse both well-known and novel sources; to inaugurate and instigate further the research of early modern privacy in regional studies. 606 $aHISTORY / Modern / General$2bisacsh 607 $aSaxony (Germany)$xHistory$y1423-1815 610 $aEarly Modern Court. 610 $aHistorical Privacy. 610 $aReformation History. 610 $aSaxony. 615 7$aHISTORY / Modern / General. 676 $a155.920943210903 702 $aAstorri$b Paolo$f1984-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBartkowski$b Ariane$f1986-$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBruun$b Mette Birkedal$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJensen$b Søren Frank$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKa?fer$b Natacha Klein$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKo?rner$b Natalie Patricia$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKörner$b Natalie$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aNummedal$b Tara$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aRankin$b Alisha$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSiegemund$b Jan$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911011316203321 996 $aPrivacy in Early Modern Saxony$94309119 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03252oam 2200589 c 450 001 9911009184103321 005 20260202090927.0 010 $a9783838276984 010 $a3838276981 024 3 $a9783838276984 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7024672 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7024672 035 $a(CKB)24097013700041 035 $a(OCoLC)1334104651 035 $a(ibidem)9783838276984 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924097013700041 100 $a20260202d2022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcz#---auuuu 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aPrometheus Unbound: The Perils and Promise of Transhumanism /$fDan Corjescu, David Doat 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aHannover$cibidem$d2022 215 $a1 online resource (169 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Corjescu, Dan Prometheus Unbound: The Perils and Promise of Transhumanism Berlin : Ibidem Verlag,c2022 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aIntro -- Foreword/Préface -- Introduction: First Thoughts -- Chapter One Transhumanism: Renaissance Humanism 2.0? -- Chapter Two Transhumanism: Enfant Terrible of the Enlightenment? -- Chapter Three Transhumanism: A Romantic Movement? -- Chapter Four Nietzsche Transhumanist? -- Chapter Five Futurism: The Modern Birth of the Man-Machine -- Chapter Six Transhumanism, Eugenics, and the New Man -- Chapter Seven Transhumanism, Globality, and the Terrorism of Technology -- Chapter Eight Love and Sex in the Age of the Posthuman -- Chapter Nine Immortality What is it Good For? -- Chapter Ten Posthumanism and The Meaning of Life -- Chapter Eleven The Perils and Promise of the Posthuman -- Bibliography. 330 $aThis book engages critically with some of the major assumptions of prominent Transhumanists such as Nick Bostrom of Oxford University and Stefan Sorgner of John Cabot University at Rome. More broadly, questions concerning the complex relationships between society, technology, and ethics are widely explored. Important thinkers such as St. Augustine, Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell, and C. S. Lewis are enlisted to highlight and support the main arguments presented by the author. The book aims at a general readership interested in the current claims and possible outcomes of the Transhumanist and Posthumanist movement. It strikes a cautionary note about humanity's reliance on emerging technologies, particularly their potential to enhance and, eventually transform, human life span, cognition, and emotion. 606 $aPhilosophie 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPost Humanism Movement 606 $aPosthumanismus 606 $aTrans Humanism Movement 606 $aTranshumanismus 615 4$aPhilosophie 615 4$aPhilosophy 615 4$aPost Humanism Movement 615 4$aPosthumanismus 615 4$aTrans Humanism Movement 615 4$aTranshumanismus 676 $a144 700 $aCorjescu$b Dan$4aut$01714778 702 $aDoat$b David$cDr$4aui 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009184103321 996 $aPrometheus Unbound: The Perils and Promise of Transhumanism$94415233 997 $aUNINA
