Smith descrive l'ascesa della scienza moderna e del primo capitalismo. Nel perseguire questa narrazione, l'Autrice segue la carriera di Johann Joachim Becher (1635-1682) dall'università alla corte, i suoi progetti dalle colonie del Nuovo Mondo e le sue idee dall'alchimia all'economia. Inserendo la carriera di Becher nel suo contesto sociale e intellettuale, Smith mostra come abbia cercato di aiutare i suoi mecenati ad assimilare i valori commerciali nella cultura di corte e a comprendere la produzione di capitale in eccesso come naturale e legittima. Con l'enfasi sulle pratiche della filosofia naturale e l'ampio uso di materiali d'archivio, Smith analizza il momento di trasformazione culturale in cui sono emerse la scienza e lo stato moderno. 600 1$aBecher,$bJohann Joachim$2BNCF 676 $a306.450943 700 1$aSMITH,$bPamela H.$f1957-$0792414 912 $a996422746503316 959 $aEB 969 $aER 996 $aBusiness of alchemy$91818294 997 $aUNISA LEADER 05383nam 2200781 a 450 001 9910974550903321 005 20240418052413.0 010 $a9786612268960 010 $a9781282268968 010 $a1282268961 010 $a9780299168636 010 $a0299168638 035 $a(CKB)1000000000003956 035 $a(OCoLC)49857471 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10217056 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000177997 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11169486 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000177997 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10219135 035 $a(PQKB)10876113 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3444701 035 $a(Perlego)4386281 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000003956 100 $a20150424d2001|||| s|| | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIn Times of Crisis : Essays on European Culture, Germans and Jews 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aMadison, WI, USA$cUniversity of Wisconsin Press$d20010201 210 $cUniversity of Wisconsin Press 215 $a1 online resource (281 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9780299168605 311 08$a0299168603 327 $aIntro -- Contents -- Preface -- Part I: The Crisis of Culture-Then and Now -- 1.

In Times of Crisis explores the flashpoints of this vexed relationship, mapping the coordinates of a complex triangular encounter of immense historical import. In essays that range from the question of Nietzsche's legacy to the controversy over Daniel Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners, the distinguished historian Steven E. Aschheim presents this encounter as an ongoing dialogue between two evolving cultural identities. He touches on past dimensions of this exchange (such as the politics of Weimar Germany) and on present dilemmas of grasping and representing it (such as the Israeli discourse on the Holocaust). His work inevitably traces the roots and ramifications of Nazism but at the same time brings into focus historical circumstances and contemporary issues often overshadowed or distorted by the Holocaust. These essays reveal the ubiquitous charged inscriptions of Nazi genocide within our own culture and illuminate the projects of some later thinkers and historians-from Hannah Arendt to George Mosse to Saul Friedlander-who have wrestled with its problematics and sought to capture its essence. From the broadly historical to the personal, from the politics of Weimar Germany to the experience of growing up German Jewish in South Africa, the essays expand our understanding of German Jewish history in particular, but also of historical processes in general. 606 $aHISTORY$2bisac 606 $aGeneral$2bisac 606 $aJews$zGermany$xIntellectual life 606 $aJews$xIntellectual life$zEurope 606 $aJews$xCultural assimilation$zGermany 606 $aJews$xCultural assimilation$zEurope 606 $aAntisemitism$zGermany 606 $aAntisemitism$zEurope 606 $aMiddle East$2HILCC 606 $aRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle East$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 615 7$aHISTORY 615 7$aGeneral 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life 615 0$aJews$xCultural assimilation 615 0$aJews$xCultural assimilation 615 0$aAntisemitism 615 0$aAntisemitism 615 7$aMiddle East 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Asia & the Middle East 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 676 $a305.892/4043/09 700 $aAschheim$b Steven E.$f1942-$0792715 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974550903321 996 $aIn times of crisis$92805550 997 $aUNINA
