Ènver A. Makaev's "The Language of the Oldest Runic Inscriptions" was published in 1965, but it has never reached the broad readership it deserves within the world's scholarly community because it was written in Russian. Reviews in Western journals called attention to this work, but they could not replace direct access to the work present translation into English makes this important contribution to runic and Germanic linguistic scholarship available at last to the scholarly world at large, not merely as the subject of historiographical interest, but as a still valid appeal to runologists everywhere to abandon the wild and unfounded speculations so rampant in runological studies and to adopt a more scientific approach to these most ancient of all Germanic texts, in keeping with the advances in comparative and historical linguistics. - Del 22 - Filologisk-filosofiska serien
Den hotade idyllen : Gunnar Mascoll Silfverstolpe, Finland och den lyriska intimismen

Gunnar Mascoll Silfverstolpe (1893-1942) var konsthistoriker och överintendent vid Kungl. Husgerådskammaren. Men han var också poet, översättare och litteraturkritiker i Sveriges då största dagstidning, Stockholms-Tidningen. Han skrev engagerat och insiktsfullt om Ekelund, Lagerkvist och Edith Södergran, Edfelt, Ekelöf och många andra. Den hotade idyllen behandlar både Silfverstolpes lyrik - från de första publicerade dikterna 1911 till den sista diktsamlingen Hemland (1940) - och hans litteraturkritik. Silfverstolpes engagemang för Finland 1918-1942 undersöks, liksom den bärande tematiken i hans diktning och receptionen av hans dikter hos kritik och publik. Bokens övergripande målsättning är att analysera hur Silfverstolpe söker finna sin väg i en snabbt skiftande historisk situation och i ett föränderligt samhälle under en tid, då traditionella värden hotas av moderniteten och den politiska utvecklingen. BENGT LANDGREN är professor i litteraturvetenskap vid Uppsala universitet. Han har utgivit böcker om bland annat Gunnar Ekelöf, Hjalmar Gullberg, Hermann Broch, Johannes Edfelt, August Strindberg, Rainer Maria Rilke, Erik Lindegren, Gunnar Tideström samt om svensk akademisk litteraturundervisning. - Häftad, Svenska, 2019

Ivan Engnell (1906–1964) var under åren 1947–1964 professor i Gamla Testamentets exegetik vid Uppsala universitet. Hans tid markerar ämnets övergång från att vara en främst teologisk disciplin till att bli ett religionshistoriskt orienterat ämne. Engnell introducerade studiet av Gamla Testamentet ur en rent religionshistorisk synvinkel och var en föregångare i forskningen kring det sakrala kungadömet bl.a. genom sina studier av semitisk filologi - Häftad, Engelska, 2019

Corpus linguistics in Sweden: Pioneers and their context first presents the early international development for corpus linguistics and the institutional and disciplinary conditions for research on the subject in Sweden. Accounts of the first generationsof Swedish innovators in the 1960s then demonstrate the significance of the international scholarly development and external funding for their success. An analysis of the international development of the researsh field points to two well-defined clusters: one consisting of scholars with a background in language studies and another with scholars of cognitive science and psychology with an interest in language acquisition and language loss. Moreover, the study shows the increasing institutionalization of the field over time through the foundation of professional associations and journals. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2021

Chinese characters were simplified in 1956, ten years after their Japanese counterparts. This book traces the origins of simplified form and compares it with rejected alternatives. It concludes that 90 to 91 percent of the new official Chinese forms were in use before the reforms, compared with nearly 100 percent of the Japanese ones. About 80 characters were simplified differently in China and Japan. Our survey shows that these differences existed already before the reforms, and that the differing outcomes were thus predestined. Roar Bökset has a PhD in Chinese Language from Stockholm University and has previously published A dictionary of nonstandard simplified Chinese characters (1986). This volume is a revised version of his dissertation Long story of short forms: the evolution of simplified Chinese characters (2006). - Del 28 - Filologisk-filosofiska serien
Ethics, risks and difficult decision-making. Examples and epistemic foundations

Should decisions be based on knowledge, defined—as Plato proposed—as true and justified beliefs? In a multicultural society there are frequently different and diverging views about what we know. Our choices are influenced by the alternatives we see, how they are described, and how we suppose that their consequences will affect us and our descendants. If we want to be able to predict preferences, we need to understand the importance of how the problems are presented and how our minds work.
The idea that the rational individual maximizes his or her expected utility when making a decision—derived from Frank Ramsey’s essay ‘Truth and probability’, published in 1931—is an important point of departure in this collection of essays. It comprises case studies of difficult decision-making when faced with challenges, such as nuclear strategy, the climate crisis and care of extremely preterm-born children, as well as perspectives on philosophical issues raised by making rational decisions.
