approaches to interpersonal conflict resolution. It examines the
underlying principles, prescriptive rules, and guidelines that are
found in the Jewish tradition for the prevention, amelioration, and
resolution of interpersonal conflicts, without the assistance of
any type of third-party intermediary. Among the topics discussed
are the obligations of pursuing peace and refraining from
destructive conflict, Rabbinic perspectives on what constitutes
constructive/destructive conflict, judging people favorably and
countering negative judgmental biases, resolving conflict through
dialogue, asking and granting forgiveness, and anger management. It
also includes detailed summaries of contemporary approaches to
interpersonal conflict resolution, theories and research on
apologies and forgiveness, and methods of anger management.

Otto Brunner contends that prevailing notions of medieval social
and constitutional history had been shaped by the
nineteenth-century nation state and its "liberal" order. Whereas a
sharp distinction between the public and the private might be
appropriate to descriptions of contemporary society, such a
dichotomy could not be projected back onto the Middle Ages.
Focusing particularly on forms of lordship in late medieval
Austria, Brunner found neither a "state" in the modern sense nor
any distinction between the public and private spheres. Behind the
apparent disorder of late medieval political life, however, Brunner
discovered a coherent legal and constitutional order rooted in the
the rights and obligations of noble lordship. In carefully
reconstructing this order, Brunner's study weaves together social,
legal, constitutional, and intellectual history.
