June 2016Der Anspruch der Vernunft
Wittgenstein, Skeptizismus, Moral und Tragödie
by Stanley Cavell, Christiana Goldmann, Susan Neiman
Der Anspruch der Vernunft gehört zu den großen philosophischen Büchern des 20. Jahrhunderts und hat eine ganze Generation von Philosophen beeinflusst. Ungewöhnlich breit angelegt, komplex in der Argumentation, eigenwillig im Stil, eröffnet uns Stanley Cavell in seinem Opus magnum neue Zugänge zu zentralen epistemologischen, metaphysischen, ethischen und ästhetischen Fragen. Insbesondere seine Wittgenstein-Lektüre und die Art, wie er sie für eine raffinierte Umdeutung des Skeptizismus fruchtbar macht, haben bis heute nichts an Originalität eingebüßt. Die Macht der Skepsis, so Cavell, lässt sich nicht durch das Streben nach letzten Wahrheiten brechen, sondern nur dadurch, dass wir uns die Welt auf geradezu romantische Weise ständig zurückerobern. Ein Klassiker.

Philosophy, literature and criticism
by James Loxley
Stanley Cavell: Philosophy, literature, and criticism is the first book to offer a comprehensive examination of the relationship between the celebrated philosophical work of Stanley Cavell and the discipline of literary criticism. In this volume, the editors have assembled an impressive range of interlocutors who set out to explore the shape and substance of Stanley Cavell's persistent acknowledgement of the literary as a category in which, and through which, philosophical work can be undertaken. A number of essays address his engagements with modernism, tragedy, and romanticism, while others consider Cavell's own aesthetic modes as a writer. Stanley Cavell: Philosophy, literature, and criticism will be of interest to all those who are concerned with the ways in which the reading of literature, and the practice of philosophy, might continue both to influence each other across disciplinary boundaries, and to challenge the internal topographies of those disciplines. ;

March 2019Sanfter Schrecken
10 ruchlose Geschichten
by Stanley Ellin, Bernd Rauschenbach, Arno Schmidt, Ellery Queen
Der Restaurant-Chef, der seinen Stammgästen ab und zu als Spezialität des Hauses einen der Ihren serviert; der kleine Angestellte, der für seinen mächtigen Chef einen Quälgeist aus dem Hochhausfenster fallen lässt; der schizophrene Schachspieler, der die Züge der weißen Figuren ebenso dem anderen überlässt wie den Mord an seiner Frau: scheinbar harmlose Mitbürger allesamt, deren verborgene Abgründe der amerikanische Kriminalschriftsteller Stanley Ellin in zehn Geschichten vorsichtig und fast liebevoll beleuchtet. Eigentlich mochte Arno Schmidt das Krimi-Genre nicht besonders, aber als ihm 1960 ein Band mit Kurzgeschichten Stanley Ellins zur Übersetzung angeboten wurde, zögerte er nicht – und urteilte ein Jahr später in seinem Essay Die 10 Kammern des Blaubart über den amerikanischen Kollegen: »Falls es ihm gelingen sollte, (und in diesen 10 Geschichten zeigen sich unverächtliche Ansätze), zum Tiefsinn seiner Fabeln und der schlechthin vorbildlich knappen Konstruktion sich auch noch eine dichterische Sprache zu erarbeiten – ja, dann könnte es sein, daß wir binnen kurzem einen neuen, wiederum amerikanischen, Poe begrüßen dürfen. Zeit wäre es.«

HorticultureJune 2004Postharvest Physiology and Hypobaric Storage of Fresh Produce
by Stanley P Burg
Hypobaric (low-pressure) storage offers considerable potential as a method to prevent postharvest loss of horticultural and other perishable commodities, such as fruit, vegetables, cut flowers and meat. Yet hitherto there has been no comprehensive evaluation and documentation of this method and its scientific basis.Written by the world’s leading authority on hypobaric storage Postharvest Physiology and Hypobaric Storage of Fresh Produce fills this gap in the existing literature. The first part of the book provides a detailed account of the metabolic functions of gases, and the mechanisms of postharvest gas exchange, heat transfer and water loss in fresh produce. The effect of hypobaric conditions on each process is then considered, before a critical review of all available information on hypobaric storage. This includes horticultural commodity requirements, laboratory research, and the design of hypobaric warehouses and transportation containers.

MedicineSeptember 2023Situating religion and medicine in Asia
Methodological insights and innovations
by Michael Stanley-Baker
This edited volume presents the latest research on the intersection of religion and medicine in Asia. It features chapters by internationally known scholars, who bring to bear a range of methodological and geographic expertise on this topic. The book's central question is to what extent 'religion' and 'medicine' have overlapped or interrelated in various Asian societies. Collectively, the contributions explore a number of related issues, such as: which societies separated out religious from medical concerns, at which times and in what ways? Where have medicine and religion converged, and how has such knowledge been defined by scholars and cultural actors? Are 'religion' and 'medicine' the best terms by which scholars can grapple with knowledge about the sacred and the self, destiny and disease?
