Philipp Schwartz'ın Göz Ardı Edilen Üniversite Raporu (1952)
Atatürk, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin temelini kültür olarak tanimlamaktaydi. Türk kültürünün yüksek karakteri kendisine göre yüksek bir medeniyet oluşturabilecek durumdaydi ve o yüksek kültürü ortaya çikarmak için ülke genelinde inkilaplar süreci başlatilmişti. Dönemin en yüksek eǧitim kurumu olan Darülfünûn yapilan inkilaplarin destekleyicisi ve uygulayicisi olmasi beklenirken, daha çok inkilap hareketlerine ters düşen söylem ve davranişlarda bulunmuştur. Bunun üzerine Cenevre'den Pedagoji Profesörü Albert Malche üniversite reformu için 1932'de Türkiye'ye davet edilmiştir. Malche'in hazirladiǧi rapor sonrasi 31 Temmuz 1933'te Darülfünûn laǧvedilerek yerine 1 Aǧustos 1933'te İstanbul Üniversitesi kurulmuştu. Yeni kurulan üniversite kadrosunun oluşturulmaya başlandiǧi siralarda Almanya'da, Türkiye'yi olumlu yönde etkileyecek gelişmeler yaşanmaya başlamişti. 1933'te iktidara gelen Naziler, ülkedeki Yahudi kökenlileri, liberalleri ve sosyal demokrat bilim insanlarini devlet hizmetlerinden tasfiye etmeye başlamişti. Yani Almanya'da yaşayan Yahudi ve Hitler muhalifibilim insanlari için bu irkçi politikalar zulüm olurken 1933'te çaǧdaş bir üniversite için reform yapan Atatürk Türkiye'si için önemli bir firsati doǧurmuştur. Yaşanan olaylar üzerine Türkiye'ye çok sayida aralarinda dünyaca ünlü mülteci Alman bilim insaninin gelmesine etki etmiştir. Gelen bilim insanlarindan birisi de Ord. Prof. Philipp Schwartz, Türkiye'de üniversite reformunun baş mimarlarindan birisi olarak 19 yil görev yaptiktan sonra 1952'de ülkeden ayrilmiştir. Schwartz, 1952'de Türkiye'den ayrilmadan önce dönemin Cumhurbaşkani Celal Bayar'a üniversitenin durumu ve ileriki zamanda hangi durumda olmasi gerektiǧine dair hazirladiǧi rapor çalişmanin ana konusunu ve amacini oluşturmuştur. Araştirma yapilirken resmÎ kurum arşivleri, dönemin basin hayati ve mülteci bilim insanlarinin hatirati bilimsel yöntem olarak incelenmiştir.

Berlin psychoanalytic
One hundred years after the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute was established, this book recovers the cultural and intellectual history connected to this vibrant organization and places it alongside the London Bloomsbury group, the Paris Surrealist circle, and the Viennese fin-de-siècle as a crucial chapter in the history of modernism. Taking us from World War I Berlin to the Third Reich and beyond to 1940s Palestine and 1950s New York—and to the influential work of the Frankfurt School—Veronika Fuechtner traces the network of artists and psychoanalysts that began in Germany and continued in exile. Connecting movements, forms, and themes such as Dada, multi-perspectivity, and the urban experience with the theory and practice of psychoanalysis, she illuminates themes distinctive to the Berlin psychoanalytic context such as war trauma, masculinity and femininity, race and anti-Semitism, and the cultural avant-garde. In particular, she explores the lives and works of Alfred Döblin, Max Eitingon, Georg Groddeck, Karen Horney, Richard Huelsenbeck, Count Hermann von Keyserling, Ernst Simmel, and Arnold Zweig.

Goethe's path to creativity : a psycho-biography of the eminent politician, scientist and poet
\"Goethe's Path to Creativity provides a comprehensive psycho-biography of Johann W.V. Goethe, a giant of modern German and European literary, political and scientific history. The book brings this work by Rainer Matthias Holm-Hadulla to the English language for the first time, in a newly elaborated edition. Goethe's path to creativity was difficult and beset by a multitude of crises, beginning with his birth, which was so difficult that he was initially not thought to have survived it, and ending with an infatuation that left him, at the age of 74, toying with the same kind of suicidal thoughts he had entertained as a twenty-year-old. Throughout his long life, he suffered bitter disappointments and was subject to severe mood swings. Despite being a gifted child, a widely recognised poet, and an influential scientist and politician, he spent his entire life loving and suffering; nonetheless, he had the exceptional ability to endure emotional pain and to transform his sufferings creatively. The way in which he mined his passions for creative impulses continues to inspire modern readers. Readers can apply the lessons they have learned from his life and use his strategies for their own creative art of living. Goethe's Path to Creativity will be of great interest to all engaged in the fields of creativity, literature, psychoanalysis, psychology, psychotherapy and personal growth\"-- Provided by publisher.

Noted colonial German scientists and their contexts
German scientists made substantial and notable contributions to colonial Victoria. They were involved in the establishment and/or development of some of the major public institutions, e.g. the Royal Society of Victoria, National Herbarium, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Museum Victoria, the Flagstaff Observatory for Geophysics, Magnetism and Nautical Science, the Pharmaceutical Society of Victoria and the Victorian College of Pharmacy. Further, they played a leading role not only in scientific and technological developments but also in exploration – Home has identified ‘science as a German export to nineteenth century Australia’ (Home 1995: 1). Significantly, an account of the 1860 annual dinner of the Royal Society of Victoria related the following comment from Dr John Macadam MP, Victorian Government Analytical Chemist: ‘Where would science be in Victoria without the Germans?’ (Melbourner Deutsche Zeitung 1860: 192). This paper considers key German scientists working in mid-nineteenth century Victoria and the nature and significance of their contributions to the colony.

Hannah Arendt and Political Theory

Johann Friedrich Meckel the Younger (1781–1833) belongs to the famous scientists of the 19
th century. His research work is enormous. Important termini e.g. diverticulum Meckelii, cartilago Meckelii, Meckel syndrome and Meckel Serres law reflect the scientific results obtained by Meckel. He worked as a professor of anatomy, pathology and zoology at the University of Halle, a town in the Central Germany. Meckel founded the scientific teratology. In the literature he is also refered to the German Curvier. On 8 April 1802, J. F. Meckel defended his doctoral thesis “De cordis conditionibus abnormibus”. On occasion of the 200th anniversary of this event, we like to honor J. F. Meckel the famous German anatomist. Therefore, during the 97

Ensnared between Hitler and Stalin
In the 1930s, hundreds of scientists and scholars fled Hitler’s Germany. Many found safety, but some made the disastrous decision to seek refuge in Stalin’s Soviet Union. The vast majority of these refugee scholars were arrested, murdered, or forced to flee the Soviet Union during the Great Terror. Many of the survivors then found themselves embroiled in the Holocaust. Ensnared between Hitler and Stalin explores the forced migration of these displaced academics from Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union.
The book follows the lives of thirty-six scholars through some of the most tumultuous events of the twentieth century. It reveals that not only did they endure the chaos that engulfed central Europe in the decades before Hitler came to power, but they were also caught up in two of the greatest mass murders in history. David Zimmerman examines how those fleeing Hitler in their quests for safe harbour faced hardship and grave danger, including arrest, torture, and execution by the Soviet state. Drawing on German, Russian, and English sources, Ensnared between Hitler and Stalin illustrates the complex paths taken by refugee scholars in flight.
