In seiner gut 25-jährigen Tätigkeit als Reinkarnations- und Rückführungstherapeut stellt Maarten Oversier fest, dass die Ursachen der Probleme seiner Klienten eigentlich immer in drei typischen Bereichen der Geschichte liegen: in schockierenden und darum oft verdrängten...

The path to independence was far from simple for the Hungarians. Shortly after the First World War the communists staged a coup and the Entente Powers, and in particular the Pan-Europeans amongst them, tried thereafter to reinstate the Habsburg Empire. This put Horthy, as former wing adjutant of the Austro-Hungarian...

As a result, the neo-scholastic framework dominated Catholic intellectual production for nearly a century thereafter. This volume assesses the societal impact of the Thomist revival movement, with particular attention...
