H09-1692. Den Herder Family. Papers, 1855-1949. 0.50 linear ft.

The Den Herder family migrated from the Netherlands to Zeeland, Michigan, in 1847. The parents of family were Christiaan Marinus den Herder, born in 1796 in Borselen, Zeeland, the Netherlands; and his wife, Cornelia de Jonge, born in 1794. They had three sons and three daughters: Jan, Marinus, Jacob, Jannetje, Janna, and Neeltje. The majority of the papers in this collection are from Jacob, born in Borselen ca. 1833 and died in 1916. He was married to Adrianna Klaassen in 1856. Jacob and Adrianna had four children: Christian J., George, Mary (Mrs. Matthew Kolyn), and Mrs. James Ossewaarde. The children of Christian J., who was married to Johanna Bosch, were Jay, Harmon, Edward and Mrs. Margaret Vander Velde. The Den Herders became a prominent Zeeland, Michigan, family after Jacob founded the Den Herder Bank. It became the Zeeland State Bank and then First Michigan Bank in 1958. The Huntington Bank of Columbus, Ohio, acquired FMB in 1997. The Den Herders, as a prosperous clan, became involved in many Zeeland and Holland businesses. Christiaan Marinus Den Herder, son Jacob, and grandson Christian J., were amateur historians. Their papers include primarily memoirs and Zeeland local history. Nearly all of their papers are written in their native Dutch language. Perhaps the best known of Jacob’s work is his history of the Zeeland colony that he wrote for the semi-centennial celebration of the Holland Kolonie in 1897, and his “Life Sketch of Jacob Den Herder.” These are the only essays in the family collection that have been translated. Christian J. composed several essays of the history of the Sunday school of the First Reformed Church of Zeeland and instructional materials. He also wrote a few essays on the early church fathers, such as Polycarp

Lyric - keeper of the past : on the poetics of popular poetry in T. Percy's "Reliques of ancient poetry" and J. G. Herder's "Volkslieder"

Both Percy and Herder establish popular poetry within the horizon of modern literature, accentuating its strangeness compared to learned poetry or "Kunstdichtung". But there is a decisive difference between Percy's and Herder's handling of this strangeness. Percy tries to bridge the gap by way of historico-philological explanation and reconstruction. In the „Reliques“, he not only chooses, corrects and groups his poems. He also adds four historical essays to his edition […] and provides numerous introductory remarks, footnotes, bibliographical references, and glossaries of archaic words and idioms. Contrary to Percy, Herder preserves and even enforces the strangeness of the texts. On the other hand, he also wants his reader to bridge the gap […] through the modern reader's empathic grasping of the supposed archaic face-to-face-communication between poet-singer and audience. In order to reach this goal, the reader must try to supplement the fragmentary text through the intuition of the authentic situation in which the text originally was communicated. Such a supplement seems possible because popular poetry deals with stock situations common to all people. […] In order to reach this goal, by the way, Herder simulates in the „Auszug aus einem Briefwechsel“ and in the introduction to the „Volkslieder“ the same attitude which he wants to convey to his readers. Both essays display the rhetoric of an emphatic, fragmentary and consensual dialogue between friends

Watsuji Tetsuros Wegbereiter der modernen Geschichtsphilosophie und J. G. Herder

1950 hat der Philosoph Watsuji Testuro （1889-1960） das Buch Kindai rekishitetsugaku no senkusha ― Vico to Herder （Wegbereiter der modernen Geschichtsphilosophie. Vico und Herder） veröffentlicht. Watsuji beschäftigt sich hier mit dem Hauptwerk Herders, den Ideen zur Philosophie der Geschichte der Menschheit. Seine pluralistischen Gedanken, die den außereuropäischen Kulturen ihre je eigenen Werte zuerkennen, werden hervorgehoben. Das klare Herder-Bild, das Watsuji dem Publikum der Nachkriegszeit präsentierte, hat auf die Herder-Rezeption in Japan einen starken Einfluss ausgeübt. Wenn man aber die Darstellung Watsujis mit dem Text Herders vergleicht, ist auf einige Umformungen hinzuweisen. Der Umformungsprozess kann anhand der handschriftlichen Randbemerkungen des von Watsuji gelesenen Exemplars, das sich in der Watsuji-Tetsuro-Bibliothek der Hosei Universität Tokyo befindet, rekonstruiert werden.Stichworte: der doppelte Blick Herders auf die Tradition, „das große Gesetz der Billigkeit und des Gleichgewichts“, ein versiegeltes Thema Watsujis: die Legende der Kaiserin Jingû

Herder: a proposal of radical reform in education

Este artigo investiga, sob uma perspectiva pedagógico-filosófica, a proposta de “formação da humanidade” nos escritos de J. G. Herder. Pretendo analisar sua proposta de reforma no ensino, cuja radicalidade constitui um marco para o sistema educacional alemão, sendo implantada por Herder em sua passagem como conselheiro do ducado de Weimar. Severo crítico das Luzes, Herder pretendeu conciliar a racionalidade científico-filosófica ao sentimento e à paixão, próprios da literatura oitocentista alemã, forjando uma ideia de formação (Bildung) que, além de trazer em si a racionalidade e a sapiência, constitui-se também de emoção, criatividade, cultura e história.This paper investigates, from a pedagogical and philosophical perspective, the proposal of “humankind formation” in the writings of J. G. Herder. I intend to analyze his proposal for educational reform, whose radicalism is a milestone for the German educational system, being implemented by Herder in his passage as adviser of the dukedom of Weimar. Severe critic of the Enlightenment, Herder intended to reconcile the scientifical and philosophical rationality to the feeling and the passion, which are nature of the nineteenth-century German literature, forging an idea of formation (Bildung) that besides to bring rationality and wisdom in itself, is also constituted by emotion, creativity, culture and history

X-ray Spectroscopy of the Cluster of Galaxies Abell 1795 with XMM-Newton

The initial results from XMM-Newton observations of the rich cluster of galaxies Abell 1795 are presented. The spatially-resolved X-ray spectra taken by the European Photon Imaging Cameras (EPIC) show a temperature drop at a radius of $\sim 200$ kpc from the cluster center, indicating that the ICM is cooling. Both the EPIC and the Reflection Grating Spectrometers (RGS) spectra extracted from the cluster center can be described by an isothermal model with a temperature of $\sim 4$ keV. The volume emission measure of any cool component ($<1$ keV) is less than a few % of the hot component at the cluster center. A strong OVIII Lyman-alpha line was detected with the RGS from the cluster core. The O abundance and its ratio to Fe at the cluster center is 0.2--0.5 and 0.5--1.5 times the solar value, respectively.Comment: Accepted: A&A Letters, 2001, 6 page

Discovery of a redshifted X-ray emission line in the symbiotic neutron star binary 4U 1700+24

We present the spectral analysis of an XMM-Newton observation of the X-ray binary 4U 1700+24, performed during an outburst in August 2002. The EPIC-PN spectrum above 1 keV can be modeled by a blackbody plus Comptonization model, as in previous observations. At lower energies, however, we detect a prominent soft excess, which we model with a broad Gaussian centered at ~0.5 keV. In the high resolution RGS spectrum we detect a single emission line, centered at 19.19^{+0.05}_{-0.09} \AA. We discuss two possible interpretations for this line: O VIII at redshift z=0.012^{+0.002}_{-0.004} or Ne IX at redshift z~0.4.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, A&A accepte
