. Lenin was the last heir of the FrenchRevolution; he had no theoretical concept of freedom, but whenhe was confronted with it in factual reality he understood whatwas at stake, and when he sacrificed the new institutions offreedom, the soviets, to the party which he thought would liber-ate the poor, his motivation and reasoning were still in accordwith the tragic failures of the French revolutionary tradition.

'Electrification plus soviets.'

assuming the rule over others, he had deprivedhimself of those peers in whose company he could have beenfree.

The difference between this ancient concept of equalityand our notion that men are born or created equal and becomeunequal by virtue of social and political, that is man-made,institutions can hardly be over-emphasized. The equality of th~Greek polis, its isonomy, was an attribute of the polis and notof men, who received their equality by virtue of citizenship,not by virtue of birth.

Suchan event, as Augustine emphasized, had occurred once butwould never occur again until the end of time. Secular historyin the Christian view remained bound within the cycles of an-tiquity - empires would rise and fall as in the past - except thatChristians, in the possession of an everlasting life, could breakthrough this cycle of everlasting change and must look withindifference upon the spectacles it offered.

"For the will commands that there be a will, it commandsnot something else but itself.... Were the will entire, it wouldnot even command itself to be, because it would already be." 19In other words, if man has a will at all, it must always appear asthough there were two wills present in the same man, fightingwith each other for power over his mind. Hence, the will is bothpowerful and impotent, free and unfree.

Yet the Augustinian solitude of"hot contention" within the soul itself was utterly unknown,for the fight in which he had become engaged was not betweenreason and passion, between understanding and evJ1~, 14 thatis, between two different human faculties, but it was a conflictwithin the will itself. And this duality within the self-same faculty had been known as the characteristic of thought, as the dialogue which I hold with myself. In other words, the two-in-oneof solitude which sets the thought process into motion has theexactly opposite effect on the will: it paralyzes and locks itwithin itself; willing in solitude is always velie and nolle, to willand not to will at the same time.

If, then, we understand thepolitical in the sense of the polis, its end or raison d'etre wouldbe to establish and keep in existence a space where freedom asvirtuosity can appear.

The Greek polis once was precisely that "form of government"which provided men with a space of appearances where theycould act, with a kind of theater where freedom could appear

Since all acting contains an element of virtuosity, and because virtuosity is the excellence we ascribe to the performingarts, politics has often been defined as an art. This, of course, isnot a definition but a metaphor, and the metaphor becomescompletely false if one falls into the common error of regardingthe state or government as a work of art, as a kind of collectivemasterpiece.

Such principlesare honor or glory, love of equality, which Montesquieu calledvirtue, or distinction or excellence-the Greek dei dpunroEzv("always strive to do your best and to be the best of all"), butalso fear or distrust or hatred. Freedom or its opposite appearsin the world whenever such principles are actualized; the appearance of freedom, like the manifestation of principles, coincides with the performing act. Men are free-as distinguishedfrom their possessing the gift for freedom-as long as they act,neither before nor after; for to be free and to act are the same.

In distinction from its goal, theprinciple of an action can be repeated time and again, it is inexhaustible, and in distinction from its motive, the validity of aprinciple is universal, it is not bound to any particular person orto any particular group. However, the manifestation of principles comes about only through action, they are manifest in theworld as long as the action lasts, but no longer.

TheChristian concept of political freedom, moreover, arose out ofthe early Christians' suspicion of and hostility against the publicrealm as such, from whose concerns they demanded to be absolved in order to be free. And this Christian freedom for the sakeof salvation had been preceded, as we saw before, by the philosophers' abstention from politics as a prerequisite for the highestand freest way of life, the vita contemplativa.

Here freedom is not even the nonpoliticalaim of politics, but a marginal phenomenon-which somehowforms the boundary government should not overstep unless lifeitself and its immediate interests and necessities are at stake.

Indeed, do we not rightly measurethe extent of freedom in any given community by the free scopeit grants to apparently nonpolitical activities, free economic enterprise or freedom of teaching, of religion, of cultural and intellectual activities? Is it not true, as we all somehow believe,that politics is compatible with freedom only because and insofar as it guarantees a possible freedom from politics?

Obviously not every form of human intercourse and notevery kind of community is characterized by freedom. Wheremen live together but do not form a body politic-as, for example, in tribal societies or in the privacy of the householdthe factors ruling their actions and conduct are not freedom butthe necessities of life and concern for its preservation.

But it does little to eliminate the greatest and most dangerousdifficulty, namely, that thought itself, in its theoretical as well asits pre-theoretical form, makes freedom disappear--quite apartfrom the fact that it must appear strange indeed that the facultyof the will whose essential activity consists in dictate and command should be the harborer of freedom.

Opening clauses for working time adjustments mostly delegate the allocation of working hours and the handling of overtime to the actors at company level. In this respect, a ‘working-time corridor’ (Arbeitszeitkorridor) allows the company to reduce or extend working times within certain limits.

In this respect, the involvement of small-scale fishers as co-generatorsand owners of data (such as traditional and local knowledge) guidingmanagement and governance arrangements is key

For example, maximizing economic value whilemaintaining ecosystem structure would require a reduction in fishingeffort, with high social cost for fishing communities with limited alterna-tive livelihoods

Effective management and governance willrequire the evaluation of trade-offs in multidimensional managementobjectives and associated policies that reflect the diverse contribu-tions of SSF to sustainable development. For instance, institutional -ized collaboration between different government agencies (such asministries of fisheries and economy) will allow the generation andanalysis of multidimensional data and information that contribute toan understanding of the inherent trade-offs in management objectivesfor these social–ecological systems (Fig. 4b)

The formation of highly consolidated reefs only occur where the temperature does not fall below 18°C for extended periods of time. This specific temperature restriction -18°C- does not, however, apply to the corals themselves. In Japan, where this has been studied in detail, approximately half of all coral species occur where the sea temperature regularly falls to 14°C an approximately 25% occur where it falls to 11°C (Veron 2000). Many grow optimally in water temperatures between 23° and 29°C, but some can tolerate temperatures as high as 40°C for limited periods of time.

Most importantly, they supply the coral with organic products of photosynthesis
