This book compiles ten essays that all consider differing aspects of power. The range of perspectives includes medicine, politics, psychology, pedagogics, theology, and philosophy. The variety of approaches and topics within the book provide an extensive insight into the various characteristics of power and the theoretical analyses of these characteristics. In addition to describing central aspects of the phenomenon of ‘power’, the essays’ central concern is the question of the legitimacy of power. When is power legitimate? How can the legitimacy of power be established?

Today, living is increasingly associated with objects, fashions, and styles; it is also identified with an experience of life that is superficial and fast-paced. What ‘living’ as an existential life-form really means seems to be in danger of being consigned to memory. This is the topic of this volume in that it regards the city as a living space and defines living in general as a culture of feelings in a constricted space. Essays from various fields and perspectives both provide examples of up to date forms of constricted living (partly in relation to other cultures) and outline concepts to make one consider the locational and spatial qualities of living in a city.
