My essay positions Heidegger's Black Notebooks (Schwarze Hefte) in the light of the later transformation of his thought after die Kehre, which introduces a new motif: "the withdrawal of Being." And while the Jewish question disappears from his official discourse, the essay poses it nonetheless, despite and against Heidegger's silence: Does the diagnosis from the Black Notebooks, which perceives the Jew as the agent of metaphysical destruction, still stand? In my analysis, the figurative Jew emerges in a role which Heidegger refuses to recognize: as a positive agent of letting-be, acting in accordance with Being's rhythm of self-withdrawal.

We plan to synthesize an understanding of the broad regional economies of Bronze Age and Iron Age Europe. This synthesis will consider variation in the economies along three dimensions: variation in the subsistence economies reflecting local conditions of resource availability, technologies, and population densities; variation in exchange reflecting regional comparative advantage in commodity production and trade; and variation in political economies reflecting specific bottlenecks in production and distribution allowing for mobilization and circulation of surpluses in wealth and staples. The goal will be to consider how an emerging world economy, especially involving metals, textiles, weapons, slaves, and other highly valued objects created emerging commodity exchange, market forces, power differentials, and population movements. This will consider structures of craft production, means of transport, and political and symbolic uses of objects. We expect to see the evolution of an integrated economy as more products move distances and become integrated into market-like exchanges. Our focus will be on areas that we know best: Scandinavia, Germany, Hungary, and Italy, but we hope to position these regions within a broader understanding of macroeconomic transformations.

This article analyses the formative period of a particular form of contextual theology, South African Contextual Bible Study (CBS), from 1988–1993. This form of contextual theology is located within the range of South African contextual theologies, including specifically the Institute for Contextual Theology’s Contextual Theology and South African Black Theology. CBS receives its shape from these related contextual theologies but has a particular emphasis on biblical studies, recognising the importance of both the role of the socially engaged biblical scholar and the relevance of biblical studies method to contextual theology. The significance of this historical analysis is that it documents and analyses the formative period of what has become an internationally recognised form of contextual biblical studies and theology.

To evaluate the exceptionality of logic, we need to specify (i) a conception of knowledge in general, (ii) a conception of logic in particular, and (iii) parameters with respect to which we evaluate logic's exceptionality. After specifying these things, I evaluate the exceptionality of logic in two senses: (a) whether logic is not continuous with the empirical sciences, (b) whether logic differs from other fields with respect to generality, formality, foundationality, apriority, analyticity, and necessity. My conclusion is that logic is exceptional in some ways, unexceptional in others. Logic is similar to other fields of knowledge, including the empirical sciences, in being grounded in the world, committed to truth, engaged in discovery, open to revision, and not being analytic, purely apriori, or foundational in the traditional foundationalist sense. But it differs from most fields, including the empirical sciences, in being formal, highly necessary, general, quasi-apriori, and foundational, though in a holistic, non-foundationalist, sense.
