Die Begr&uuml;ndung ethischer Normen wird in einer s&auml;kularisierten Kultur nicht
mehr durch tradiertes Ethos und durch die Religion &uuml;bernommen, sondern
erfordert begr&uuml;ndungstheoretische Anstrengungen, denen das gegenw&auml;rtige
geistige Klima allerdings nicht g&uuml;nstig ist. Die in diesem Band gesammelten
Aufs&auml;tze Vittorio H&ouml;sles bilden keine in sich abgeschlossene und vollst&auml;ndige
Ethik, aber sie sind Beitrage dazu. Sie stellen die Praktische Philosophie
in den Zusammenhang mit Metaphysik, Transzendentalphilosophie und Politischer
Philosophie, und sie suchen Antworten auf konkrete Fragen der Ethik in
der modernen Welt zu geben.

Cosmo and the Magic Sneeze

One of Muriel Spark's most liberating, liberated and meditative novels. Spark is a writer who can take the meditative and make it mercurially funny, playful and mischievous

A Far Cry From Kensington

&ldquo;What makes Yonahlossee emotionally engaging in its own right&mdash;this summer&rsquo;s first romantic page turner&mdash;is Ms. DiSclafani&rsquo;s sure-footed sense of narrative and place, and her decision to portray her heroine, Thea Atwell, in all her complexity: fierce, passionate, strong-willed, but also selfish, judgmental and self-destructive. By setting the novel in 1930, as America teeters on a financial cliff, and the days of debutante balls and fancy-dress parties seem numbered, Ms. DiSclafani has tried to situate the rarefied world her characters inhabit in a real-life context, even as she gives the reader some well-observed glimpses of the lifestyles of the rich and not so famous. . . . By cutting back and forth between the events that took Thea to Yonahlossee and her experiences in school, Ms. DiSclafani methodically builds suspense, making the reader wonder how Thea&rsquo;s two romances will unfurl, and whether they will dovetail or collide. . . .&#160; The reader&rsquo;s attention rarely wavers, thanks to Ms. DiSclafani&rsquo;s knowledge of how to keep her foot on her story&rsquo;s gas pedal, and her sympathy for her spirited, unbridled heroine.&rdquo;&mdash;Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times &ldquo;The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls is no one-trick phony. Even as Thea keeps wetting her lips to tell us the unspeakable truth, we&rsquo;re lured into more complex and provocative aspects of her story. . . . The novel&rsquo;s most daring aspect [is]&#160;its winding exploration of adolescent sexuality. . . . DiSclafani is a crafty mistress of . . . pious conventions. Her heroine must confront the old harlot-or-saint choice, but she won&rsquo;t ultimately accept either role. Here is a young woman coming to understand the varieties of sexual experience&mdash;from abuse to delight&mdash;without renouncing her desire. . . . Sensing . . . harsh judgment from home and school and world, Thea concedes, 'I&rsquo;m not a right girl.' But she&rsquo;s fearless, and she&rsquo;s riding to win."&mdash;The Washington Post &ldquo;DiSclafani is an insanely talented writer&mdash;her precise period details and lovely descriptions of riding and adolescence have a spellbinding effect.&rdquo;&mdash;Entertainment Weekly "DiSclafani's writing is smart and sexy, and her characters are flawed and worth knowing as they navigate through life and don't always make the wisest decisions."&mdash;NPR "Sparkling . . . DiSclafani's transporting prose recalls that uneasy time at the brink of adulthood, and reminds us that even the most protective parents can't keep the world at bay."&mdash;O, the Oprah Magazine &ldquo;The tone of the novel&rsquo;s opening pages is hushed and portentous, as DiSclafani creates an atmosphere of spooky anticipation and foreboding. So vivid are DiSclafani&rsquo;s descriptions that one can almost feel the humidity in the air, taste the famed Yonahlossee iced tea, see the gorgeous vistas of Blue Ridge Mountains around the camp.&rdquo;&mdash;Boston Globe &ldquo;DiSclafani&rsquo;s mastery of pace and mystery and her skilled evocation of the atmosphere in sultry Florida and the crisp Carolina mountains make this an uncommon first novel.&rdquo;&mdash;Dallas Morning News &ldquo;There's much to enjoy here: clear, concise writing, lushly drawn settings, compelling choices of time and place.&rdquo;&mdash;Chicago Tribune "A captivating story of shame, blame and family secrets.&rdquo;&mdash;USA Today &ldquo;Compelling debut.&rdquo;&mdash;People &ldquo;Anton DiSclafani's debut novel, The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls, is a painstakingly constructed ode to a young girl's sexual awakening. This is perhaps one of the classier books a young teen would hide under her covers to read with a flashlight.&rdquo;&mdash;NPR.org "Boys may be boys, but girls&mdash;well, their coming-of-age can be more complicated. Anton DiSclafani&rsquo;s vivid, beautifully written novel explores the consequences for Thea, a headstrong Depression-era teen who is banished to a posh southern school after a family tragedy."&mdash;Parade "A smart, satisfying first novel."&mdash;Real Simple "Lush . . . the tensions, jealousies and triumphs are deftly blended to vividly portray the coming of age of a gathering of girls at a particular time in a particular place."&mdash;New York Daily News &ldquo;In elegant prose that evokes the cadences of a vanished epoch, DiSclafani unfolds at a leisurely pace&hellip; An unusually accomplished and nuanced coming-of-age drama.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus (starred review) "Set in the 1930s, full of alluring descriptions, and featuring a headstrong lead character, this is a literary novel that is also full of scandal, sex, and secrets. . . . [Readers] will be held in thrall by the world so vividly and sensually rendered here in a novel that is as sophisticated in its writing as it is in its themes."&mdash;Booklist (starred review) &ldquo;Engrossing, empathetic, and atmospheric, this debut will resonate with readers as the author eloquently portrays the inevitable missteps in coming of age. Highly recommended.&rdquo; &ndash; Library Journal (starred review) &ldquo;I fell completely under the spell of Anton DiSclafani&rsquo;s amazing first novel and was gripped by its lush and dreamy evocations of Southern decorum, family secrets, and boarding school rituals. DiSclafani is wildly talented, and this is a sexy, suspenseful, gorgeously written book.&rdquo;&mdash;Curtis Sittenfeld, author of Prep &ldquo;The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls is so sexy, smart, and vividly drawn that I was surprised to remember that this novel is Anton DiSclafani's first. With such a big-hearted and atmospheric book, Ms. DiSclafani's talents should be celebrated far and wide.&rdquo;&mdash; Lauren Groff, author of The Monsters of Templeton &ldquo;Thea Atwell is an unforgettable heroine, and DiSclafani&rsquo;s pitch-perfect details of time and place effortlessly drew me into this fantastic&#160;novel&rsquo;s authentic and alluring&#160;world.&rdquo;&mdash;Laura Moriarty, author of The Chaperone &ldquo;In her haunting debut, Anton DiSclafani reminded me how I came to love reading as a child, the way a book can so envelop you in its unique and vibrant world that even as you race toward the end, you find yourself dreading the moment it&rsquo;s finished. It&rsquo;s a fierce and tender, beautiful novel.&rdquo;&mdash;Aryn Kyle, author of The God of Animals
