Subjektiv, intersubjektiv, objektiv
by Donald Davidson, Joachim Schulte, Donald Davidson
Donald Davidson (1917–2003) gehört zu den herausragenden Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts und hatte schon zu Lebzeiten den Rang eines Klassikers erreicht. Seit Erscheinen seiner ersten wichtigen philosophischen Abhandlung im Jahre 1963 bis zu seinem Tod hat Davidson die Debatten im Bereich der philosophischen Semantik, der Erkenntnis- und Handlungstheorie und der Philosophie des Geistes maßgeblich geprägt. Ohne je eine philosophische Monographie vorgelegt zu haben, hat dieser »Denker ohne Buch« in einer Fülle von bahnbrechenden Aufsätzen von analytischer Präzision und stilistischer Brillanz ein einheitliches Bild der Sprache, des Geistes und der Handlung entworfen, das entscheidend dazu beigetragen hat, die theoretische Philosophie aus ihrer dogmatisch-sprachanalytischen Erstarrung zu befreien.Mit Subjektiv, intersubjektiv, objektiv liegt nun der lang erwartete dritte Band der philosophischen Aufsätze Davidsons in deutscher Sprache vor. Die vom Autor noch selbst zusammengestellten und mit einer Einleitung versehenen Abhandlungen kreisen um das klassische erkenntnistheoretische Thema des Wissens.Entgegen der traditionellen Zweiteilung in subjektives und objektives Wissen zeigt Davidson, daß es drei Spielarten von Wissen gibt: subjektives Wissen von unseren eigenen Gedanken, intersubjektives Wissen von den Gedanken anderer Personen und objektives Wissen über die uns umgebende, nichtpersonale Welt. Wie diese Wissensarten miteinander verknüpft sind, ist das Thema dieses Buches.

Probleme der Rationalität
by Donald Davidson, Joachim Schulte, Marcia Cavell
Seit den frühen 1960er Jahren bis zu seinem Tod im Sommer 2003 war Donald Davidson der wohl einflußreichste Philosoph englischer Sprache. Mit Probleme der Rationalität liegt nun der vierte Band seiner philosophischen Schriften in deutscher Übersetzung vor und mit ihm eine weitere Etappe auf Davidsons Weg zu »einer einheitlichen Theorie des Denkens, der Bedeutung und des Handelns«. Der so betitelte Aufsatz bildet zugleich das programmatische Epizentrum dieses Bandes. Rationalität, so Davidsons Generalthese, ist dabei eine notwendige Bedingung, um das Denken, Sprechen und Handeln anderer interpretieren, d. h. verstehen zu können, und sie spielt eine tragende Rolle bei der Frage, welchen Wesen wir überhaupt einen Geist zusprechen können. In weiteren Abhandlungen wendet Davidson diese These etwa auf die Frage nach der Objektivität der Werte an, fragt sich, ob es eine »Wissenschaft der Rationalität « geben könne, und liefert eine scharfsinnige Analyse von »Turings Test«. Den krönenden Abschluß bilden die berühmten Aufsätze über Irrationalität. Der Band, den der Autor nicht mehr selbst zum Abschluß bringen konnte, wird von seiner Frau Marcia Cavell eingeleitet und schließt mit einem bewegenden Interview, das Ernie Lepore mit Donald Davidson über dessen Leben und Werk geführt hat.

Wozu Wahrheit?
Eine Debatte
by Donald Davidson, Richard Rorty, Mike Sandbothe, Mike Sandbothe
Der Vordenker der zeitgenössischen Analytischen Philosophie, Donald Davidson, und der Mitbegründer des philosophischen Neopragmatismus, Richard Rorty, führten seit den siebziger Jahren eine vielbeachtete Debatte über die Bedeutung, die dem Wahrheitsbegriff in der Philosophie zukommt. Ausgangspunkt war die Verabschiedung des erklärenden Wahrheitsverständnisses. An seine Stelle tritt bei Davidson und Rorty die interpretationistische Analyse unseres Gebrauchs von »wahr«. Strittig ist die Frage, ob und wie zitattilgende, billigende und warnende Verwendungsweisen miteinander zusammenhängen und was daraus für die Wahrheit als Grundproblem der Philosophie folgt. Die ausgewählten Schlüsseltexte stammen aus den Jahren 1974 bis 2000 und sind zum großen Teil bislang noch nie in deutscher Sprache veröffentlicht worden.

Handlung und Ereignis
by Donald Davidson, Dieter Henrich, Niklas Luhmann, Joachim Schulte, Friedhelm Herborth
Im Mittelpunkt der Aufsatzsammlung von Donald Davidson stehen sowohl Fragen der angemessenen Erklärung von Handlungen und anderen Ereignissen als auch traditionelle philosophische Probleme wie Willensschwäche und Handlungsfreiheit. Entscheidend für Davidsons Überlegungen ist dabei der Begriff der Kausalität, die einerseits der »Mörtel des Universums« ist, andererseits aber auch ein »Mantel der Unwissenheit«, d. h. ein Eingeständnis unserer Unkenntnis der Gesetzlichkeit, unter der wir das Handeln gleichwohl zu sehen wünschen. Der von Davidson entwickelte Vorschlag zur Auflösung des von Kant diagnostizierten »Scheinwiderspruchs« zwischen kausaler Erklärung und »nicht wegzuvernünftelnder Freiheit«, der sogenannte anomale Monismus, gehört zu den meistdiskutierten Konzepten der theoretischen Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery
by Donald Yool
Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery provides an introduction to the fundamentals of small animal soft tissue surgery, covering the core principles that underpin all surgery, and key areas of general soft tissue surgery undertaken in general small animal practice. Emphasis is placed on current veterinary practice, the application of basic principles and the importance of patient assessment and appropriate decision making. With a practical focus, the book provides a clear, well-illustrated description of a readily applicable technique for each of the potential problems that face new graduates within non-specialist practices. The learning outcomes at the start of each section define the key areas for undergraduates to focus on and self-assessment MCQs at the end of each section help re-inforce learning outcomes. The text also contains information to enable newly qualified graduates to assess more complex conditions that are frequently encountered in small animal practice. For many practitioners who do not develop a strong interest in more advanced surgery, this text will provide a solid surgical text to last throughout their veterinary career. To enhance accessibility to undergraduate students, the text will emphasise the application of a small number of key principles and limit detailed descriptions to a reduced number of key procedures.

The King of Trash
by Donald Willerton
The plague of homelessness runs through it like a pulsing vein. There is murder―and bodies galore. There is unhesitating genocide. There is an escape from certain death that will haunt you.And yet The King of Trash is a story of tenderness, of ethical struggle, and of deeply bonded humanity.In his latest novel―and his first to move beyond the highly successful Mogi Franklin middle-reader mysteries―author Don Willerton intertwines modern-day themes of transcendent importance through a unique and intriguing tale of mystery, adventure, and courage.Early readers have sometimes had nightmares, but yet The King of Trash is ultimately redeemed by its heart. It begins with a newspaper reporter setting out to interview a former school mate who's now become one of the world greatest scientists―and one of its richest men. Before long, though, we are enmeshed in a web of awful and expedient “facts” building to a twenty-first-century morality tale in which no one can escape the hard and bitter decisions of the “real” world. And yet at the end, we learn, is the one central truth, the only remnant left to sustain Willerton's fascinating and vivid characters―and all the rest of us alive on Earth as well.

Teddy's War
by Donald Willerton
To Elias Gunnarson, his dad, Teddy, was part of “the greatest generation,” a man who fought valiantly in World War II, was honorably discharged, married his high school sweetheart, and lived happily ever after. Right? Wrong! The truth, he finds, lies shrouded in an intricately complex web baring only superficial resemblance to the terrible reality lived by those who battled from the sands of Omaha Beach to the horrors of Dachau. As letters, videos, stories, and memories unfold the true tale of Teddy's war, Elias learns that the lives of his mother, his father, and his father's brother, Jake, were not what they seemed, and that dying a hero does not absolve a person from the sins of his past.
