Georg Simmel is among the intellectuals taking part in the German side of the »Culture War«, parallel to the war 1914–1918. This article discusses three different meanings of »Culture War«: 1. »Culture War« as war about culture, 2. »Culture War« as war by means of culture, 3. »Culture War« as aggravated proceeding of criticism of culture. Among the motives of the »Culture War« is the reproach of »barbarism« made by Henri Bergson against the German side originating from a public debate after the destruction of the Cathedral of Reims. In the reactions of German intellectuals (alongside Georg Simmel were Alfred Döblin, Friedrich Gundolf, Max Scheler and Georg Misch) a reinterpretation of the concept of culture is apparent, inspired by philosophy of life and leading to a peculiar »ethic of the creative power of culture«. Simmel’s examination of the generic case of the Cathedral of Reims conclusively serves as prototype of a criticism of this approach: German intellectuals confuse metaphors stemming from the sphere of nature with those of culture without reflection, thus obliterating essential differences between those spheres.

Phenomenological Psychiatry

This chapter discusses the psychopathological ideas of Eugène Minkowski, a French psychiatrist of Jewish Polish origin who is regarded as a dominant figure in phenomenological psychiatry due to his translation of theoretical and abstract philosophical notions into ordinary clinical work. After a brief biography, the chapter considers Minkowski’s psychopathological orientation, citing some of the influential figures in his life and work including Henri Bergson and Max Scheler. It then examines Minkowski’s notion of schizophrenia and what he refers to as vital contact with reality, which he describes as a basic mode of human presence in the world. It also looks at two forms of autism proposed by Minkowski, along with one of his most original concepts known as trouble générateur, or generative (generating) disorder. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the contemporary relevance of Minkowski’s ideas.

Sources Of Influence

This article addresses the philosophical sources of Soloveitchik's unique account of time and repentance as presented particularly in the second part of Halakhic Man. In the past, thinkers such as Max Scheler, Hermann Cohen, and Henri Bergson have been suggested as sources of influence on Soloveitchik on this account. While the influence of these thinkers is undeniable, a fuller appreciation of the philosophical layers at play is still required. This article aims to show that the event of repentance in Soloveitchik's description is formulated in accordance with Kierkegaard's notion of Øieblikket (the moment), and to discuss the place of Heidegger in Soloveitchik's interpretation of repentance.

A “new charts program” for the Americal Association of Variable Star Observers was instigated in 1966 via the gift to the Association of the complete variable star observing records, charts, photographs, etc. of the late Prof. Charles P. Olivier of the University of Pennsylvania (USA). Adequate material covering about 60 variables, not previously charted by the AAVSO, was included in this original data, and was suitably charted in reproducible standard format.Since 1966, much additional information has been assembled from other sources, three Catalogs have been issued which list the new or revised charts produced, and which specify how copies of same may be obtained. The latest such Catalog is dated June 1978, and lists 670 different charts covering a total of 611 variables none of which was charted in reproducible standard form previous to 1966.

Summary Judgment

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld, in Presbyterian Medical Center of the University of Pennsylvania Health System v. Shalala, 170 F.3d 1146 (D.C. Cir. 1999), a federal district court ruling granting summary judgment to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in a case in which Presbyterian Medical Center (PMC) challenged Medicare's requirement of contemporaneous documentation of $828,000 in graduate medical education (GME) expenses prior to increasing reimbursement amounts. DHHS Secretary Donna Shalala denied PMC's request for reimbursement for increased GME costs. The appellants then brought suit in federal court challenging the legality of an interpretative rule that requires requested increases in reimbursement to be supported by contemporaneous documentation. PMC also alleged that an error was made in the administrative proceedings to prejudice its claims because Aetna, the hospital's fiscal intermediary, failed to provide the hospital with a written report explaining why it was denied the GME reimbursement.

Zusammenfassung.Nach dem griechischen Mythos ist das Gedächtnis die Mutter der drei Musen. Sie bedenken Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und die Zukunft als “umgekehrtes Gedächtnis“ ( Carus ). Seit der Antike geht es dem Menschen (auch psychotherapeutisch) um das richtige Verhältnis von Erinnern und Vergessen, Vergangenheit und Zukunft für die Gegenwart. Die unterschiedlichen Gewichtungen ergeben Gesichtspunkte für die künstlerische Therapie. Immer spielt das Gedächtnis die Hauptrolle. Die Besinnung auf die “Dialektik des Alten und Neuen“ ( Gadamer ) stellt sich als Aufgabe für jeden weiteren Lebensweg und für die künstlerische Therapie. In allem ist die einmalige Person des Patienten und ihre Zeit zu berücksichtigen, ihre Erfahrung, “die Sinnstruktur des Gedächtnisses“, die auf die Zukunft gerichtet sind ( Pauleikhoff ). Aus dem Gedächtnis und den von ihm vertretenen Werten ergibt sich auch die “Bedeutsamkeit“ dessen, was geschieht, und das Motiv der Kunst ( Dilthey ). Zur lebendigen Quelle von Lebenszeit und von Bewegung (Tanz) wird die Vergangenheit bei Henri Bergson. Das Gedächtnis des alternden Menschen steht nicht nur im Zeichen der Vergeßlichkeit und der Erinnerung an frühere Zeiten, sondern auch der Zukunft. Die Hoffnung hält die Zukunft offen. Die verschiedenen Gedächtnisstörungen, vor allem “die ausgelöschte Vergangenheit“ bei Hirnkrankheiten und “die abgebrochene Vergangenheit“ bei der Schizophrenie, sind in den künstlerischen Therapien entsprechend zu beachten. Aufgrund der Forschungen von J. Bauer stellt sich eine aussichtsreiche Aufgabe in der Aktivierung von Gedächtnis und Gehirn im Alter durch die künstlerischen Therapien.
