April 2004Subjektiv, 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.

September 2006Probleme 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.

April 2005Wozu 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.

August 1990Handlung 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.

April 2018Das terrestrische Manifest
by Bruno Latour, Bernd Schwibs
Eine Serie politischer Unwetter hat die Welt durcheinandergebracht. Die Instrumente, mit denen wir uns früher orientierten, funktionieren nicht mehr. Verstanden wir Politik lange als einen Zeitstrahl, der von einer lokalen Vergangenheit in eine globale Zukunft führen würde, realisieren wir nun, dass der Globus für unsere Globalisierungspläne zu klein ist. Der Weg in eine behütetere Vergangenheit erweist sich ebenfalls als Fiktion. Wir hängen in der Luft, der jähe Absturz droht. In dieser brisanten Situation gilt es zuallererst, wieder festen Boden unter den Füßen zu gewinnen und sich dann neu zu orientieren. Bruno Latour unternimmt den Versuch, die Landschaft des Politischen neu zu vermessen und unsere politischen Leidenschaften auf neue Gegenstände auszurichten. Jenseits überkommener Unterscheidungen wie links und rechts, fortschrittlich und reaktionär plädiert er für eine radikal materialistische Politik, die nicht nur den Produktionsprozess einbezieht, sondern auch die ökologischen Bedingungen unserer Existenz.

November 2021Joe Biden's America
Introduction to a divided country
by Roland Benedikter
— "A precise, analytical insight into the phenomenon Trump." (Anton Pelinka, Central European University Budapest) — "An introduction to the contemporary US." (Heinrich Neisser, Jean Monnet Chair of European Integration, University of Innsbruck) — "Refreshingly different." (Herbert Dorfmann, Member of the European Parliament) Joe Biden's America is deeply divided. Donald Trump's term in office made many problems of modern US society visible, which Biden now has to solve. What do American politics look like under Joe Biden? What legacy did Donald Trump leave behind, and what kind of impact does it have? How can the deeper causes, factors and drivers of current US developments be put in a historical context? Roland Benedikter provides a thorough insight into a complex country. In a compact and comprehensible way, he explains the background, challenges and perspectives of the Biden era, while also providing an overview of the current state of US society and culture in general. His analysis is suitable for teaching, decision-makers and civil society as an introduction to today's USA.

February 2025On the origin of quantum physics
by Jørgen Karlsen
On the Origin of Quantum Physics: Forces by Proxy By Jørgen Karlsen The goal of the author is to describe the reality underpinning Quantum Physics. By doing so, General Relativity becomes a sub- domain of Quantum Physics, and in that sense the two theories are united, but they are not seen as being equally fundamental.In the first part of the book, the author introduces a new way to interpret the forces of nature according to a principle that he names Forces by Proxy. The basic principles of the new theory are easily understood for most people with some knowledge of physics.Placing Quantum Physics centre stage, he scrutinizes the vacuum energy showing what its strange phenomena really entail. What causes the vacuum fluctuations? Why 3 dimensions? What is the true nature of entanglement and superposition? Is there a local reality, like Einstein claimed? What is time?All these questions are answered within the concept of the theory presented. Finally, time and mass transformations caused by velo- city and gravity are brought together in one common formula.The consequences of the proposed theory are far reaching and will have major influence in many fields. This book is a wake-up call which requires thorough scrutiny by physicists everywhere.Physics

Veterinary medicine: small animals (pets)January 2012Small 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.

Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2013The House of Lords
by Donald Shell
The House of Lords has undergone significant change in recent years. The exclusion of the great majority of the hereditary peers in 1999 was intended as the first step in a two-stage reform process. But further reform has proved difficult to achieve and remains a matter of considerable controversy. Meanwhile, the present House has become more assertive, and is now widely recognised as making a substantial contribution to the overall work of parliament. This book, available in paperback for the first time, examines the role of the contemporary House. Who are the peers, and who among the total of over 700 are the active peers? How does the House work, and how effective is it in revising legislation and in scrutinising the work of government? Why has fundamental reform of the House been so long delayed, and what are the main arguments about reform today? These are among the questions discussed in this timely volume, which seeks to locate discussion about the House of Lords in the wider context of a clear understanding of the developing British constitution. This book will be of great value to students and academics in British politics, as well as to serious journalists and researchers. ;

Mind, Body, SpiritMay the Loveforce Be With You
Kali-Ki Reiki: Healing Through Divine Mother & Yogic Wisdom
by Rajashree Maa
May the Loveforce Be With introduces a new lineage in energy healing, Kali-Ki ReikiTM, that was revealed to the author, Joni Dittrich, Ph.D. (Rajashree Maa), in a series of mystical encounters with the Divine Mother appearing as the goddess Kali Maa. The book brilliantly tells the stories of these encounters and presents the healing symbols that She revealed, explaining how these symbols can be used both for mind-body healing and spiritual awakening, or what Rajashree Maa calls "wisening." While traditional reiki systems also use symbols to transmit healing energy, the symbols introduced in Kali-Ki Reiki are seen as unique, three-dimensional, active, intelligent forms of light that tap into certain universal energy frequencies that are particularly attuned to the evolving conscious awareness as well as the personal and societal dilemmas of our current times. The fact that these symbols were revealed by Divine Mother to a woman in this era points to a need in today's world to re-establish our connection with the feminine forces of nature and spirit. The healing energy transmitted through these symbols is called Loveforce, which is considered to be the manifesting, creative, and healing power of the Limitless Love that is the Source of all that is.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2026The dilemma of Authority
by Allyn Fives
The moral problem of authority is the challenge of reconciling legitimate authority (the right to rule) with the demands of freedom and rationality. In this book, I argue that authority can have legitimacy, but when it does it generates a moral dilemma, where the obligation to obey comes at some cost to freedom and reason. Hence, not only do I depart from the views of those who insist that authority can never have legitimacy, but also those who maintain that insofar as authority is legitimate it simply satisfies the demands of freedom or rationality. My focus here will be on both what it is that justifies authority (in particular focusing on membership, and the goods of membership) as well what type of reason an authoritative directive is, how it can come into conflict with others reasons, and how those conflicts are resolved.

Family & relationshipsBean Trellis, My Mother-in-law
by Ma Ruifang
As the Chinese saying goes, "mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies". However, Bean Trellis, My Mother-in-law depicts the close bond of the author as daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law for more than three decades. Wherein lies the secret? "仁" Benevolence, "义" righteousness, "礼" courtesy, "智" wisdom, and "信" faith are constant beliefs of the Chinese people, which in the author's eyes are also the most admirable qualities of her mother-in-law, who is illiterate, yet hardworking, kind, and full of the wisdom of simple life. Her kindness and generosity is just the secret to the well-being of the whole family. Aside from describing the unique in-law relationship, this book also looks at the ups and downs of a big Chinese family from the 1970s to the 2020s. With humorous and documentary storytelling, the author wrote her life stories just like chatting with neighbors under the bean trellis. It is all-encompassing, containing traditional Chinese wisdom about getting along with the world, educating children, and even cooking, which could provide new reading experiences and inspiration for all readers.
