Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

We thank Ekman & Co AB and Gadelius Holding Ltd for their kind and generous support making this research available online for free. Lottaz and Ottosson explore the intricate relationship between neutral Sweden and Imperial Japan during the latter’s 15 years of warfare in Asia and in the Pacific. While Sweden’s relationship with European Axis powers took place under the premise of existential security concerns the case of Japan was altogether different. Japan never was a threat to Sweden militarily or economically. Nevertheless Stockholm maintained a close relationship with Tokyo until Japan’s surrender in 1945. This book explores the reasons for that and therefore provides a study on the rationale and the value of neutrality in the Long Second World War. Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War is a valuable resource for scholars of the Second World War and of the history of neutrality. | Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

The Spirit of Indian Philosophy

The Spirit of Indian Philosophy

First published in 1975 The Spirit of Indian Philosophy provides a systematic overview of Indian philosophy. The book is divided into four major parts dealing with Indian epistemology Indian metaphysics Indian ethics and Indian philosophy of religion. It makes a departure from usual method of investigating Indian philosophy by dealing with its different schools individually and separately. It discusses themes like sources of cognition; nature and criterion of true cognition; problem of error; materialism; realism; dualism; Indian theories of causation; reflective morality; the ethics of non-violence; Indian atheism and Indian religion of God to argue that the usual conception of Indian philosophy in general as religious spiritualistic and pessimistic is contrary to the fact that the doctrine of Karma transmigration and rebirth strictly speaking is incompatible with the Indian ways of thinking and in deed is an imposition upon them ab extra. This is an essential read for scholars and students of Indian philosophy.

Dividing United Europe From Crisis to Fragmentation?

Dividing United Europe From Crisis to Fragmentation?

Pictures of Angela Merkel in a Nazi uniform the burning of German flags newspaper articles portraying Southern Europe as work-shy and Northern Europe as tight-fisted: The Eurozone crisis has thrown up old stereotypes; often digging into well-established historical images of ‘the other’. The conscious or tacit (ab)use of national prejudices by politicians and parts of the media and the strong emotional reactions among European citizens have caused a lot of public concern about the likely negative implications of such reawakening of national clichés and the newly hardening boundaries they construct for the process of European integration. It is evident that current and recent crises confront European citizens with profound dilemmas which they seek to make sense of and in response to which much new political mobilisation takes place. At the same time some of the interpretative and political reactions thus generated also have the potential to become very destructive processes putting into question years of integration efforts. This book brings together scholars who examine the nexus between (economic) crisis national identities and the use of historical images and prejudices and stereotypes by focusing particularly on media and political discourses in different European countries. In addition to detailed empirical discussions covering diverse national settings across Europe the different contributions discuss and offer a variety of conceptual and methodological approaches within the inter-disciplinary study of national identities prejudice and stereotyping in the context of socio-economic and political crises. This book was originally published as a Special Issue of National Identities. | Dividing United Europe From Crisis to Fragmentation?
