Karl Löwith's View Of History: A Humanist Alternative To Historicism, Berthold P. Riesterer
Karl Löwith's View Of History: A Humanist Alternative To Historicism, Berthold P. Riesterer
Wayne State University Dissertations
The survival and increasing academic importance of the supra-historical position, particularly as an alternative to existential ontology and English analytical philosophy, indicate that a careful study of this particular trend is in order. The following analysis of the intellectual development of Karl Löwith, a thinker who in the course of his career moved from phenomenology and ontology to historicism and then finally to the supra-historical position, it is hoped, will make a contribution toward such a study.

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Founded in September 1963, the Stanford Club of Switzerland is one of the many clubs which, all over the world, bring into contact former students and scholars of Stanford University.

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Speak of the History of California and the part played by the Swiss: imnediately you will have one reaction and one name mentioned: Sutter. For the majority of the people that is the beginning and the end of it. Many books have been written on Sutter, part fiction, part history. There might be here or there a short article of general interest. Add to this the very good book of our Board Member Maurice Edmond Perret, Professor of Geography, Wisconsin State University, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, on ticinesi colonies in California and this is about the sumtotal of the literature which …

Just who are the Swiss who have come to the United States? What was their plce of orgin, what were their motivtions, where did they go, and what impact did they have in their adopted country?

But what of the thousands and thousands of Swiss who emigrated from the homeland and the many settlements established by them? What patterns …

Walsingham And Burghley: Factionalism In The Privy Council Under Elizabeth I, John W. Nott
Masters Theses
Introduction
The Elizabethan Age was the age of Shakespeare and Marlowe, when the English literacy renaissance attained a claims; the age of Drake, Hawkins, and Frobisher, when English sea power asserted its genius. It was also the age of great statesmen and political improvisation, for England was beginning to emerge as a world power. Headed by a queen whose primary claim to fame rested with her ability to inspire her people and manage her talented ministers, the island kingdom soon attained the status of a major nation. At Elizabeth's accession the government was in a state of decline but skillful …

In 1929, four years before Hitler came to power in Germany, C.G. Jung published an essay on "Women in Europe". In this essay the Swiss psychologist , no doubt a shrewd observer, also deals with a few general aspects of the human situation of that time. He discovers tendencies in the minds of many of his contemporaries . First "a growing disgust at one sided attitudes which do not make sense" . He was thinking, among other things, of the increclible chaos of doubtful, dogmatic philosophies of the late 1920's, many of which were offered as promises of salvation to …

The Trial Of Captain Henry Wirz, 1865: An Attempt Of Rehabilitation, Heinz K. Meier, Lukas F. Burchardt
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
The paper read by Dr. A. Maissen at the New York meeting of the SAHS dealt with the interesting subject of Captain Henry Wirz . Although one of the best known Swiss participating in the Civil War, he is not listed among the subjects of the book Prominent Americans of Swiss Origin. This probably was no oversight, for he was and is a controversial figure.

The Rise Of European Commercial Association During The Middle Ages, Ellen Douglas Moule
The Rise Of European Commercial Association During The Middle Ages, Ellen Douglas Moule
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The unity of Western Europe has not yet approached the political, economic and religious entity realized under the Roman Empire. Nor is it likely to duplicate such a centralized and authoritative basis of organization. It is the purpose of this paper to explore European economic association on the basis of co-operation rather than dominance. For this purpose historical cornerstones of economic co-operation and commercial endeavor will be discussed.
...
Among them the individuals and groups who pursued trade not only revived the collapsed commerce known to the Roman world, but provided the framework for modern commercial and financial activity and …
The Establishment Of The Baptists In England In The Early Part Of The Seventeenth Century, Eugenia Henderson
The Establishment Of The Baptists In England In The Early Part Of The Seventeenth Century, Eugenia Henderson
Honors Theses
In 1558 with the accession of a Protestant Queen on the throne, England had the appearance of religious freedom. Around 1559 Dutch and Flemish dissenters emigrated to England bringing with them Baptist beliefs. Elizabeth's religious policy, however, was not one of toleration. Not being a religious zealot, she desired a workable religious situation. As a result the Elizabethan Settlement was a compromise and came to mean no religious liberty but no inquisition. In 1559 Elizabeth became Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church in the Act of Supremacy. The Act of Uniformity passed in the same year forced the people to …
