| 520 | |a This volume utilises soldiers' memoirs, heroic and romantic literature and philosophical discussions to analyse the link between courage and fear and expose the role of courage in generating anxieties of manhood and masculinity. | ||
| 520 | |b Few of us spend much time thinking about courage, but we know it when we see it--or do we? Is it best displayed by marching into danger, making the charge, or by resisting, enduring without complaint? Is it physical or moral, or both? Is it fearless, or does it involve subduing fear? Abner Small, a Civil War soldier, was puzzled by what he called the "mystery of bravery"; to him, courage and cowardice seemed strangely divorced from character and will. It is this mystery, just as puzzling in our day, that William Ian Miller unravels in this engrossing meditation. Miller culls sources as varied as soldiers' memoirs, heroic and romantic literature, and philosophical discussions to get to the heart of courage--and to expose its role in generating the central anxieties of masculinity and manhood. He probes the link between courage and fear, and explores the connection between bravery and seemingly related states: rashness, stubbornness, madness, cruelty, fury; pride and fear of disgrace; and the authority and experience that minimize fear. By turns witty and moving, inquisitive and critical, his inquiry takes us from ancient Greece to medieval Europe, to the American Civil War, to the Great War and Vietnam, with sidetrips to the schoolyard, the bedroom, and the restaurant. Whether consulting Aristotle or private soldiers, Miller elicits consistently compelling insights into a condition as endlessly interesting as it is elusive | ||

Is it best displayed by marching into danger, making the charge, or by resisting, enduring without complaint? Is it physical or moral, or both? Is it fearless, or does it involve subduing fear? Abner Small, a Civil War soldier, was puzzled by what he called the "mystery of bravery"; to him, courage and cowardice seemed strangely divorced from character and will. It is this mystery, just as puzzling in our day, that William Ian Miller unravels in this engrossing meditation. Miller culls sources as varied as soldiers' memoirs, heroic and romantic literature, and philosophical discussions to get to the heart of courage--and to expose its role in generating the central anxieties of masculinity and manhood. He probes the link between courage and fear, and explores the connection between bravery and seemingly related states: rashness, stubbornness, madness, cruelty, fury; pride and fear of disgrace; and the authority and experience that minimize fear. By turns witty and moving, inquisitive and critical, his inquiry takes us from ancient Greece to medieval Europe, to the American Civil War, to the Great War and Vietnam, with sidetrips to the schoolyard, the bedroom, and the restaurant. Whether consulting Aristotle or private soldiers, Miller elicits consistently compelling insights into a condition as endlessly interesting as it is elusive</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Introduction : The good coward -- Aristodemus, or cowardice redeemed -- Tim O'Brien and Laches -- Courageous disposition -- Courage and scarcity -- "I have a wife and pigs" -- Shoot the stragglers and the problem of retreat -- Offense, defense, and rescue -- Man the chicken -- Praised be rashness -- Stupidity, skill, and shame -- The shape and style of courage -- The emotional terrain : fear, hope, despair -- The emotional terrain : disgust, anger, relief -- Courage and chastity -- Moral courage and civility -- Fixing to die : a valediction -- Concluding postscript.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="2" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Forschungszentrum</subfield><subfield code="g">Jülich</subfield><subfield code="b">Programmgruppe Mensch, Umwelt, Technik</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/1086363035</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Courage.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85033527</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Courage.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PHILOSOPHY</subfield><subfield code="x">Ethics & Moral Philosophy.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PSYCHOLOGY</subfield><subfield code="x">Social Psychology.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Courage</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Moed.</subfield><subfield code="2">gtt</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Filosofische aspecten.</subfield><subfield code="2">gtt</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Culturele aspecten.</subfield><subfield code="2">gtt</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Lebensführung</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4034864-7</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Courage.</subfield><subfield code="2">nli</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Mut.</subfield><subfield code="2">swd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Miller, William Ian, 1946-</subfield><subfield code="t">Mystery of courage.</subfield><subfield code="d">Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, 2000</subfield><subfield code="z">0674003071</subfield><subfield code="z">9780674003071</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 00029559</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)43684601</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=281964</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBL - Ebook Library</subfield><subfield code="b">EBLB</subfield><subfield code="n">EBL3300562</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ebrary</subfield><subfield code="b">EBRY</subfield><subfield code="n">ebr10326106</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">281964</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">3092386</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
