Description
Der vorliegende Band versteht sich als ein Versuch, der forschungsgeschichtlichen ,Verteufelung des Teufels' zu begegnen. Er geht von der Hypothese aus, dass die etablierte, primär theologisch-moralische Lesart dieser paradigmatischen Figur der Vormoderne noch immer den Blick auf ihre schöpferischen Eigenschaften verstellt, die jedoch produktiv auf ästhetische Form und Sinnstiftung literarischer Texte einwirken können.Die Einzelstudien verfolgen...

Description
The »return of great power competition« between (among others) the US, China, Russia and the EU is a major topic in contemporary public debate. But why do we think of world politics in terms of »competition«? Which information and which rules enable states and other actors in world politics to »compete« with one another? Which competitive strategies do they pursue in the complex environment of modern world politics? This cutting-edge edited...

Description
Der Aufschwung der Psychiatrie in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts ging mit zahlreichen Verwerfungen einher. Erstens war festzustellen, dass moderne Strömungen in der Kunst, Auffälligkeiten des Sexualverhaltens sowie andere unangepasste soziale Verhaltensweisen psychiatrisiert wurden. Hier spielte das in den 1890er Jahren entwickelte Konzept der Psychopathie eine wichtige Rolle wie auch der Querulantenwahn. Viele Psychiater nutzten diese...

Practices of comparing shape how we perceive, organize, and change the world. Supposedly innocent, practices of comparing play a decisive role in forming categories, boundaries, and hierarchies; but they can also give an impetus to question and change such structures. Like almost no other human practice, comparing pervades all social, political, economic, and cultural spheres. This volume outlines the program of a new research agenda that places comparative...

Philosophers often have tried to either reduce "disagreeable" objects or concepts to (more) acceptable objects or concepts. Reduction is regarded attractive by those who subscribe to an ideal of ontological parsimony. But the topic is not just restricted to traditional metaphysics or ontology. In the philosophy of mathematics, abstraction principles, such as Hume's principle, have been suggested to support a reconstruction of mathematics by logical...

Description
This volume seeks to further the use of formal methods in clarifying one of the central problems of philosophy: that of our free human agency and its place in our indeterministic world. It celebrates the important contributions made in this area by Nuel Belnap, American logician and philosopher. Philosophically, indeterminism and free action can seem far apart, but in Belnaps work, they are intimately linked. This book explores their philosophical...
