Islam & forsoning

"Islam og forsoning" beskriver nogle af nutidens dilemmaer i forbindelse med islam i Europa - og søger at give forskellige bud på, hvorledes man kan være tro over for de islamiske principper og samtidig være en aktiv del af det verdslige demokrati og det danske fællesskab. Dén samfundsmæssige anskuelse, at "tro er en privatsag", udgør et af hovedtemaerne for den sekulære stat og har vundet genklang blandt mange europæiske meningsdannere, som hævder, at muslimer kun kan integreres succesfuldt i Europa, hvis islam afpolitiseres og defineres som en privatsag. Denne bog hævder det modsatte. Syntesen sikres ikke ved at gøre religion til en privatsag. Flere aktive muslimer i Europa blander religion og politik og definerer i stigende grad deres tro som en offentlig sag gennem mangfoldige former for islamisk aktivisme, og denne livsopfattelse vinder Danmark såvel som resten af verden meget ved at åbne sig op over for og rumme. I Islam & forsoning diskuterer Sherin Khankan islams rolle og spirituelle potentiale i en globaliseret verden og giver et bud på, hvordan vi kan leve sammen på trods af divergerende opfattelser af, hvad der er værdifuldt.

Tax Amnesties

Theory, Trends, and Some Alternatives

Tax amnesties remain as popular as ever as a tool for raising revenue and increasing tax compliance. International experience, however, shows that the costs of tax amnesty programs often exceed the programs’ benefits. This paper weighs the advantages and disadvantages of tax amnesties, drawing on results from the theoretical literature, econometric evidence, and selected country and U.S. state case studies. The authors conclude that “successful” tax amnesties are the exception rather than the norm. Improvements in tax administration are the essential ingredient in addressing the main problems that tax amnesties seek to address. Indeed, the most successful amnesty programs rely on improving the tax administration’s enforcement capacity. ?Given the potential drawbacks of tax amnesties, a few alternative measures are discussed.

In this section we analyze the recent trends in tax amnesties, and some evidence
is provided regarding their revenue and compliance effects. The first section is
devoted to a review of the econometric literature on the (mainly revenue) effect of
tax amnesties. The second section describes the U.S. states' experience with
amnesties (through a general overview and then two case studies: the tax
amnesty programs of Kentucky and Michigan, both in 2002). The experience of
the U.S. ...

Mind, Brain and Narrative

Narratives enable readers to vividly experience fictional and non-fictional contexts. Writers use a variety of language features to control these experiences: they direct readers in how to construct contexts, how to draw inferences and how to identify the key parts of a story. Writers can skilfully convey physical sensations, prompt emotional states, effect moral responses and even alter the readers' attitudes. Mind, Brain and Narrative examines the psychological and neuroscientific evidence for the mechanisms which underlie narrative comprehension. The authors explore the scientific developments which demonstrate the importance of attention, counterfactuals, depth of processing, perspective and embodiment in these processes. In so doing, this timely, interdisciplinary work provides an integrated account of the research which links psychological mechanisms of language comprehension to humanities work on narrative and style.

The psychological work we have presented up to now is primarily based on the
idea of a simple, literal interpretation of language. The mapping made from
language input onto world knowledge, particularly scenario-based situational
knowledge, enables language to be interpreted. Yet often language is
multilayered in that it has to be interpreted in different ways. One example of this
is counterfactual worlds: depictions of worlds in which the 'facts' are essentially
false, or not realized, ...

A Complete Dictionary of the English Language, Both with Regard to Sound and Meaning

... when English was the language spoken at court; and when the same attention
was paid to propriety of pronunciation, as that of French at the Court of Versailles.
This produced a uniformity in that article in all the polite circles; and a gentleman
or lady would have been as much ashamed of a wrong pronunciation then, as
persons of a liberal education would now be of mis-spelling words. But on the
accession of a foreign family to the throne, amid the many blessings conferred by
