Renewing America’s Civic Compact addresses the chief challenges
and principal tensions in the operation of our civil society in
order to consider possible paths forward. The meritocracy,
multiculturalism, issues of race, technology, and populist
nationalism in American democracy today are some of the issues that
have created more tensions to American public life. Chapters
address the condition of civil conversation within the university
and across American society. This collection then engages debates
over the continued relevance and durability of liberal ideas and
institutions; whether we have accessible means and resources to
channel digital technology more fruitfully for the sake of human
achievement and well-being; and how some have endeavored to
revitalize the American civic vocation through both scholarly and
practical education. Finally, the volume closes with a call to
restore civic friendship, properly understood, as the foundation
for renewing America’s civic compact.
The Pious Sex strives to enlighten the reader with respect to the
relationship between women and religion. The notion that there is a
special relationship between women and piety may call to mind the
worst of the prejudices associated with women over the ages: the
characterization of women as superstitious and inherently
irrational creatures who must be kept firmly in hand by the
patriarchal establishment. The suggestion that there is a special
relationship between women and piety conjures up the most
oppressive picture of womanly virtue. The contributors of this
volume revisit the claim that women constitute the pious sex and
investigate the implications of such a designation. This collection
of original essays examines the relationship between women and
religion in the history of political thought broadly conceived.
This theme is a remarkably revealing lens through which to view the
Western philosophical and poetical traditions that have culminated
in secular and egalitarian modern society. The essays also give
highly analytical accounts of the manifold and intricate
relationships between religion, family, and public life in the
history of political thought, and the various ways in which these
relationships have manifested themselves in pagan, Jewish,
Christian, and post-Christian settings.

Mittels einer echten Längsschnittuntersuchung wird ermittelt, wie
sich die Fähigkeit von Kindern in der 2., 3. und 4. Klasse
entwickelt, Texte im Rahmen verschiedener kommunikativer
Anforderungen zu schreiben: Erzählung, Bericht, Instruktion,
Beschreibung, Argumentation. Textstrukturelle, lexikalische,
syntaktische und kommunikative Analysen zeigen, dass der Prozess
durch ein Vier-Stufen-Modell beschrieben werden kann; und zwar in
einer Wechselbeziehung von Textsortenentwicklung und
Textentwicklung als Text-Sorten-Entwicklung.
