Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Wittgenstein writes: "We can easily imagine people amusing themselves in a field by playing with a ball so as to start various existing games, but playing many without finishing them and in between throwing the ball aimlessly into the air, chasing one another with the ball and bombarding one another for a joke and so on. And now someone says: The whole time they are playing a ball-game and following definite rules at every throw. And is there not also the case where we play and make up the rules as we go along? And there is even one where we alter them - as we go along." In this book, the author is tackling one of the most salient problems in our current debate about globality: How a global community is possible. She is asking: How do we make the rules of our games? Where does the normativity of our moral laws, statutory provisions and table manners come from? How do we strive to keep naked violence at bay by allowing power to be vested with the right of correction? Can humanity as a whole become a global community of self-defense? Marta Bucholc seeks answers to these questions in the writings of Norbert Elias, while watching the players in the field go on .

In 14 previously unpublished essays British sociologist Martin Albrow develops the Global Age thesis that he first proposed in the 90s to capture the novelty of our own epoch. He absorbs insights from Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, Arnold Toynbee and Norbert Elias into a global discourse that shapes new approaches to abiding human dilemmas of faith, justice and responsibility. Even in resisting the idea that globalization and Americanization are inevitable he argues that framing our time as global promotes a collective response to the challenges facing humankind. The hope for a human future depends on a normative ordering of global society, on global governance that allows local, national and global cultures to co-exist and thrive.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. If Art is smart and Art is rich, then someone is both smart and rich - namely, Art. And if Art is smart and Bart is smart, then Art is something that Bart is, too - namely, smart. The first claim involves first-order quantification, a generalization concerning what kinds of things there are. The second involves second-order quantification, a generalization concerning what there is for things to be. Or so it appears. Following W.V.O. Quine, many philosophers have endorsed a thesis of Ontological Collapse about second-order quantification. They maintain that ultimately, second-order quantification reduces to first-order quantification over sets or properties, and therefore also carries the latter's distinctive ontological commitments.In this revised version of his doctoral dissertation, awarded the Wolfgang-Stegmuller-Prize in 2012, Stephan Kramer examines the major arguments for Ontological Collapse in detail and finds all of them wanting. Quantifications, he argues, fall into at least two irreducible kinds: those on what things there are, and those on what there is for things to be.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert wurde die Basis fur die Ausformung unserer naturwissenschaftlichen Begriffe von Raum und Zeit gelegt. Das Buch befasst sich mit dem Bildungsprozess dieser fur die Naturwissenschaften, die Naturphilosophie und die Erkenntnistheorie zentralen Begriffe bis in die Gegenwart. Naturwissenschaftliche Raum- und Zeitbegrifflichkeiten haben schon immer unser Weltbild bestimmt und wurden zu allen Zeiten als grundlegend fur systematische Zugangsweisen zu den unterschiedlichsten Gebieten aufgefasst. Der Sammelband fuhrt die neuen Forschungsergebnisse von ausgewiesenen Experten verschiedener Disziplinen zusammen. Besonderer Wert wird auf den inhaltlichen Zusammenhang der Raum- und Zeitbegiffe der fruhen Neuzeit (Descartes, Leibniz, Newton, Euler) bis hin zu den modernsten Konzepten einer fundamentalen Physik der Raum-Zeit (Quantenkosmologie, Quantengravitation) gelegt.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How can we find our bearings in the world without losing ourselves, how can we preserve our rational abilities and capacities? Kant is the philosopher of pure reason and the categorical imperative. But his reflections on the self-preservation of reason also show him as a philosopher with a clear awareness of what matters in our lives: self-approval and self-reliance, self-thinking and criticism, enlightenment and humanity, justice and freedom, overcoming our self-inflicted dependency, and the exchange of arguments and perspectives. With its focus on the self-preservation of reason, the book offers a new approach to Kant's work and offers a contribution to the debate about the modernity of his thought.
