Napoleonic Wars The Napoleonic Wars were a continuation of the wars of the French Revolution (1789-1799), in which the Habsburgs and other dynastic rulers of Europe combined in an effort to overthrow the revolutionary government of France and restore the rule of the French monarchy. Therefore, Austria, Britain, Prussia, Spain, the Netherlands, and Sardinia together formed the First Coalition, whose aim was to defeat Napoleon’s forces and restore French nobility to the throne. The campaigns were the first in which Napoleon displayed on a large scale his genius as a commander; early battles of the War of the Second Coalition are also included in this category. www.uhigh.ilstu.edu /soc/nuh/nuh5.htm   (2368 words)

Amazon.com: Books: The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere: An Inquiry into a Category of Bourgois Society (Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought) Comprised of literate individuals governed by the principals of the Enlightenment, these "publics" eventually challenged the validity and legitimacy of governments, most notably in France during the French Revolution and England during the English Civil War. Habermas gives an interesting historical account of the rise of "Offentlichkeit" (which translates into the all-too-easy abstraction "public sphere," whatever that is), from the letters passed in the mail relating the news from town to town, to French salons, to newspapers, to television and radio. The purpose of this public sphere, according to Habermas, is to eliminate the domination of authoritative power, and establishing a government that is actually representative of the public will and contingent upon public opinion. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0262581086?v=glance   (2342 words)

Story Maine de Biran stands quite in a different category from the Eclectics, as a unique figure at a transition period, the herald of the best that was to be in the thought of the century. The particular manner in which the main problems presented themselves to the French thinkers of the second half of the nineteenth century was largely determined by the events and ideas which marked the period from 1789 to 1851. While, however, there were some who combated the principles of the Revolution, as did the Traditionalists, while some tried to correct and to steady those principles (as De Biran and Cousin), there were others who endeavoured to complete them and to carry out a more rigorous application of the Revolutionary watchwords, _Liberté_, _Egalité_, _Fraternité_. www.richread.com /04mfphi10.html   (19237 words)

The Invention of Pornography: Obscenity and the Origins of Modernity, 1500-1800. Carlagirl Photo. The first modern writers and engravers of pornography were part of the demimonde of heretics, freethinkers and libertines who constituted the dark underside of the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. In this groundbreaking collection of essays, historians and literary theorists examine how, between 1500 and 1800, pornography emerged as a literary practice and a category of knowledge intimately linked to the formative moments of Western modernity and the democratization of culture. From the start, early modern European pornography used the shock of sex to test the boundaries and regulation of obscene behavior and expression in the public and private sphere. www.carlagirl.net /research/library/invporn.html   (300 words)

The German Ideology by Marx and Engels: Saint Max This “ego” of Stirner’s which is the final outcome of the hitherto existing world is, therefore, not a “corporeal individual”, but a category constructed on the Hegelian method and supported by oppositions, the further “flea-jumps” of which we shall trace in the New Testament. According to this same Stirnerian history, the bourgeoisie usurped all power by means of revolution, consequently also its gospel, that of material enjoyment, although according to the same Stirnerian history we have now reached the point where “ideas alone rule the world”. The “good burgher” “Stirner” here again imagines — as he does throughout this section — that the French, American and English bourgeois are good Berlin beer-drinking philistines. www.marxists.org /archive/marx/works/1845/german-ideology/ch03d.htm   (300 words)

Belmont House, Classic English Country Estate Last but by no means least in the Harris collection is a category of clocks and watches from France, all made during the period around the French Revolution, a period when the likes of Abraham Louis Breguet and Antide Janvier made some of the most stylish and elegant designs in horological history. The Harris collection consists of a wide variety of clocks and watches with examples from all the major clock making countries and periods but can be considered to fall into 3 distinct areas. The collection of clocks at Belmont was entirely the creation of George St Vincent, the 5th Baron Harris (of Seringapatam, Mysore and Belmont in the county of Kent to give him his full style). www.belmont-house.org /clocks.htm   (247 words)

Morality, Justice, and Judicial Moralism Religions have typically been guilty of such moralism, and have controlled or pressured political authorities to enforce it; but there has been no lack of purely secular ideologies, from the French Revolution to Communism to present Political Correctness, that have tried to enforce their views as a political program apart from any religion. Moralizing feelings may become a problem when we identify certain acts of violence, vandalism, etc. as "hate crimes." "Hate crimes" form a legitimate moral and legal category, but the proper formulation of the matter is obscured by the way in which it is usually presented and discussed. Morality can only forbid the action, not the feeling; and the actions that can be forbidden are only the ones causing harm through violence, coercion, fraud, or negligence, not ones merely of a refusal to deal with or associate with someone. www.friesian.com /moral-2.htm   (5280 words)

THE PRINCIPALITY OF POLJICA Among the many European mediaeval principalities, which after centuries of varying fortune went under, one after another in the aftermath of the French Revolution, the Croatian principality of Poljica (pronounced Pol'yeetsa), with its special brand of rural democracy, occupied a special, indeed unique position. However, what set Poljica even more apart from other European principalities was its political constitution, which was in category of its own. The extreme severity of the penalties that the principality's statute decrees for anyone who might be tempted to collaborate with them, testifies to the strength of the feeling in the community on this issue. www.studiacroatica.com /jcs/28/2804.htm   (6299 words)

Amazon.com: The Invention of Pornography, 1500-1800: Obscenity and the Origins of Modernity: Books: Lynn Hunt The essays, which trace the evolution of pornography from 1500 to 1800--that is, from its infancy through the French Revolution--reinforce the thesis that pornography evolved as a political tool. The essays, by historians and literary theorists, examine how pornography emerged between 1500 and 1800 as a literary practice and a category of knowledge intimately linked to the formative moments of Western modernity and the democratization of culture. From the beginning, early modern European pornography used the shock of sex to test the boundaries and regulation of decent and obscene behavior and expression in the public and private spheres, criticizing and even subverting religious and political authorities as well social and sexual norms. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/094229968X?v=glance   (885 words)

The History And The Mystery Of The Planet Gong Founded by the group 'Gong' itself a revolutionary concept band in terms of what had previously been acceptable to French popular music audiences it drew upon Eastern, Arabic and African influences as well as European classical, ethnic and jazz. With the acceptance of Soft Machine by the English audiences, Daevid brought the evolution over revolution concept to Paris in the wake of the student riots and founded together with feminist poet Gilli Smyth one of the first spiritual rock communities near Fontainbleu in 1980. If human beings were to be categorized as either pioneers, mainstreamers, or traditionalists, then Daevid Allen would unquestionably belong to the first category. www.demimonde.co.uk /1018.htm   (670 words)
