Die historische Aufarbeitung von sexuellem Missbrauch und Gewalt in der Frühen Neuzeit steht noch ganz am Anfang. Auf detaillierten Archivrecherchen beruhend, geht diese Studie Sexualdelikten im Jesuitenorden nach, die an Schülern, Studenten, Beichtkindern, und anderen Jesuiten verübt worden sind. Dabei werden Muster von sexueller Gewalt deutlich, die sich auf spirituelle Bereiche ausdehnten, aber von den Ordensoberen nur in Extremfällen geahndet wurden. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht es, ein neues Licht auf die Geschichte jesuitischer Bildungs- und Seelsorgeeinrichtungen zu werfen.

In a world dominated by half-truths, illogic, and intellectual laziness, Think Better helps readers understand what reason is and how to use it well.Reason is a powerful tool not only for finding our way in an increasingly complex world but also for growing intellectually and emotionally. This short, accessible volume unlocks the dynamics of human reason, helping readers to think critically and to use reason confidently to solve problems. It enables readers to think more clearly and precisely about the world, and it tackles a number of profound philosophical questions without getting bogged down with jargon. Topics include knowledge, identity, leadership, creativity, and empathy.Written in an accessible style that integrates philosophy, illustrations, personal anecdotes, and statistical data, this book is well suited for use in undergraduate, classical school, and home school contexts. It is an invaluable guide for anyone interested in gaining better reasoning skills and a more rational approach to life.
