EnEx-RANGE - Robust Autonomous Acoustic Navigation in Glacial IcE

While the popular talk of English common sense in the eighteenth century might seem a by-product of familiar Enlightenment discourses of rationalism and empiricism, this book argues that terms such as ‘common sense’ or ‘good sense’ are not simply synonyms of applied reason. On the contrary, the discourse of common sense is shaped by a defensive impulse against the totalizing intellectual regimes of the Enlightenment and the cultural climate of change they promote, in order to contain the unbounded discursive proliferation of modern learning. Hence, common sense discourse has a vital regulatory function in cultural negotiations of political and intellectual change in eighteenth-century Britain against the backdrop of patriotic national self-concepts. This study discusses early eighteenth-century common sense in four broad complexes, as to its discursive functions that are ethical (which at that time implies aesthetic as well), transgressive (as a corrective), political (in patriotic constructs of the nation), and repressive (of otherness). The selection of texts in this study strikes a balance between dominant literary culture – Swift, Pope, Defoe, Fielding, Johnson – and the periphery, such as pamphlets and magazine essays, satiric poems and patriotic songs.

Ethics, Aesthetics, and Politics, 1680–1750

Common Sense in Early 18th-Century British Literature and Culture

In this little book, I will be showing you my favourite treks, hikes and tours through the Münster region. I have noticed that there are rarely any foreign tourists who visit these spots. This English version of my book is meant to make it easier for English-speaking readers to discover the Münster region - or Münsterland in German. All of these places are freely accessible and are suitable for nature expeditions with children. They are comparatively short, but very diverse.

Dont forget your compass

Through the Münster Wilderness

In diesem Büchlein stelle ich eine einwöchige Hüttentour am Großglockner mit Übernachtungen im Glocknerhaus, in der Glorer Hütte und in der Salmhütte vor. Die Anreise erfolgt mit dem Auto bis auf 2.100 m Höhe. Die Leserin oder der Leser kann anhand von Fotos und Beschreibungen erkennen, ob die Tour als Urlaubsziel in Betracht kommt. Und wer keine Hüttentour machen kann, kann sich trotzdem einen Eindruck von der Bergwelt, den Pflanzen vor Ort und der Abendstimmung in den Bergen verschaffen. Verschiedene Hintergrundinformationen runden das Büchlein ab, das keine Karte ersetzt. Die Wanderungen erfordern alpine Vorerfahrung, Trittsicherheit und Schwindelfreiheit. Die täglichen Grundetappen sind so angelegt, dass sie nicht allzu lange dauern, dass aber Erweiterungen (Besteigung des Spielmann, des Bösen Weibl und des Kastenegg, Wanderung zur Pasterze) möglich sind. So kann die Tour an die individuelle Kondition, die u.U. erst vor Ort feststellbar ist, angepasst werden
