Nazi Germany and The Humanities

How German Academics Embraced Nazism

By: Anson Rabinbach,Wolfgang Bialas

MERGEFIELD AI_Copy In 1933, Jews and, to a lesser extent, political opponents of the Nazis, suffered an unprecedented loss of positions and livelihood at Germany’s universities. With few exceptions, the academic elite welcomed and justified the acts of the Nazi regime, uttered no word of protest when their Jewish and liberal colleagues were dismissed, and did not stir when Jewish students were barred admission. The subject of how German scholars responded to the Nazi regime continues to be a fascinating area of scholarship. In this collection, Rabinbach and Bialas bring some of the best scholarly contributions together in one cohesive volume, to deliver a shocking conclusion: whatever diverse motives German intellectuals may have had in 1933, the image of Nazism as an alien power imposed on German universities from without was a convenient fiction.

Particles and Policy

By: Wolfgang Kurt Hermann Panofsky

Particles and Policy then turns to consider the conflicts between the drives of theoretical science and the constraints of public policy. What are the technical - and social - limits impinging upon the development of electron colliders and other large science projects? Should scientific endeavors be pursued regardless of social costs? Panofsky tackles these questions in several illuminating chapters based upon his long personal experience with linear accelerator projects." "Several essays address Panofsky's lifelong concern with nuclear weapons and arms control. An insider in the government circles that guided policy, Panofsky reveals the way that perceptions, rather than technical realities, drive the arms race; dissects the philosophical underpinnings of nuclear buildup; and shatters the myth that nuclear weapons can be effective in a tactical sense." "In a concluding chapter, "Science Advice to the President," Panofsky looks back on his challenging - and often contentious - years as a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee and delivers suggestions for making such service more effective in the future." "From his early participation in the Trinity Project to his 25-year stewardship of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Wolfgang Panofsky has pursued a rare path of discovery and engagement. Particles and Policy is a bracing anthology of the contributions, challenges, concerns, and successes of this scientist and citizen."--BOOK JACKET.
