        Der Denkweg von Charles Sanders Peirce

        Eine Einführung in den amerikanischen Pragmatismus

        by Karl-Otto Apel

        Apels Darstellung des philosophischen Hintergrunds der Entstehung des Pragmatismus bei Charles Sanders Peirce und von Peirces Denkweg vom Pragmatismus zum Pragmatizismus ist eine umfassende Auseinandersetzung mit dem Werk von Peirce, die den historischen Ort dieses Werkes bestimmt und seine vielfältigen fruchtbaren Wirkungen für das philosophische und wissenschaftstheoretische Denken der letzten Jahrzehnte aufweist. Sie ist zugleich eine Einführung in den Pragmatismus, den Apel – neben dem Marxismus und dem Existentialismus – als eine der heute wirklich funktionierenden Philosophien begreift, das heißt: als eine Philosophie, die Theorie und Praxis des Lebens faktisch vermittelt.

        Überwältigende Blüten

        by Rosie Sanders, Andreas Honegger

        Die Engländerin Rosie Sanders denkt anders, sieht anders und malt anders als alle anderen Blumenmaler und -malerinnen. Sie ist eine Meisterin der Proportionen und des Lichts. In ihren Bildern fängt sie jene Momente des Wandels ein und zeigt, dass diese ihren ganz eigenen Reiz haben, der gerade nicht in der vermeintlich vollkommenen Schönheit liegt: »Jedes Bild was ich beginne, verlangt eine neue Sprache. Jedes Mal fühlt es sich fremd an, als ob dieses das erste Bild wäre, was ich jemals gemalt hätte.«Rosie Sanders malt Tulpen, Iris, Anemonen, Amaryllis, Rosen, Orchideen oder Gladiolen von gigantischer Größe auf die Leinwand. Im Gegenlicht erscheinen diese so transparent, als wären sie aus Japanpapier. Ihre Bilder sind modern, kraftvoll, mitunter erotisch und von einer Präzision, die keine Fotografie bieten kann.

        Rice

        by Su Tong

        Rice is a collection of fictional works by Su Tong, which includes Rice, Three Lamps and Fish of the People. Rice, a tale of desire, agony, existence and destruction, is a novel Su Tong wrote in the early 1990s. It depicts the samsara-like life of a man who migrated to the city by train to run away from famine and who eventually returns to his hometown also by train. The wandering life in a strange place is the basic generalization of his life and his death on the way home marks the climax of the whole story. Rice is the most noteworthy one among the few novels Su Tong has written so far.

        Postdemokratie revisited

        by Colin Crouch, Frank Jakubzik

        Mit seinem Buch Postdemokratie sorgte Colin Crouch 2008 in Deutschland für Furore. In seiner so pointierten wie scharfsinnigen Analyse konstatiert er, dass die Demokratie in den westlichen Gesellschaften im Begriff sei, zur bloßen Hülle zu werden: demokratische Wahlen und Institutionen würden zwar aufrechterhalten, politische Entscheidungen jedoch de facto in den Chefetagen der Wirtschaft getroffen. Das Buch wurde zum Überraschungserfolg. Colin Crouch hatte eine Debatte um den Verfall der repräsentativen Demokratie losgetreten und ihr mit ›Postdemokratie‹ einen Namen gegeben.Jetzt legt Crouch eine Bestandsaufnahme seiner Thesen vor: Wie gut haben verschiedene Demokratien die Corona-Pandemie bewältigt? Wie hat der Aufstieg des Rechtspopulismus demokratische Erosionsprozesse beeinflusst? Und welche Rolle spielen feministische Forderungen im Kampf gegen die Postdemokratie?

        Rice Almanac

        by G P Hettel, Jay L Maclean, D C Dawe, Bill Hardy

        As a result of editions published in 1993 and 1997, the Rice Almanac has become a standard handbook that brings together general information about rice and data about rice production worldwide. The third edition has been fully updated and expanded to include more countries, and is the result of collaboration between the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), West Africa Rice Development Association (WARDA), Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United States.

        Sustainability of Rice Farming

        by Edited by D J Greenland

        Rice has supported a greater number of people for a longer period of time than any other crop. Nearly half of the global population is dependent on rice as its major staple food. While Asia remains the main centre of production and consumption of rice, the importance of rice is increasing rapidly in Africa and Latin America, and exports of rice from the United States and Australia are of major importance to the world rice trade. This book explores the factors which have contributed to the sustainability of rice production over the eight or nine thousand years for which rice has been produced. Sustainability is defined as the maintenance or improvement of production levels and protection of natural resources, within the context of economic viability and social acceptability. The author covers a wide range of issues, including soil fertility, plant breeding, pest management, irrigation, land degradation and social and economic factors. Greatest emphasis is placed on the special features of wetland rice production, and the importance of the nutrient balance. It is also shown that without the Green Revolution there would have been a period of mass starvation in Asia, a problem which continues to threaten and which will be unavoidable unless the successes of the Green Revolution can be sustained. The book provides a unique review of the sustainability of the production of the world’s most important crop, and should be of interest to students, research workers and policy makers in agriculture, soil science, and agricultural economics and food policies, as well as all interested in development in the third world.

        Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914) war der einzige Philosoph des 19. Jahrhunderts, dessen Metaphysik der Natur gleich in dreierlei Hinsicht eine radikale Neubegründung der Naturphilosophie versucht, die der vorliegende Band dokumentiert: 1. Metaphysischer Evolutionismus, 2. Objektivität des Zufalls, 3. das Semiotisch-anthropische Prinzip.

        Der Band Die Welt als Zeichen und Hypothese vereinigt Beiträge internationaler und deutscher Autoren zur Zeichentheorie von Charles Sanders Peirce. Peirce ist nicht nur Vater des amerikanischen Pragmatismus, sondern, neben Saussure, der Großvater der modernen Semiotik. Die einzigartige Chance des Peirceschen Ansatzes besteht darin, daß er eine völlig neue Art von Übergängen zwischen Philosophie, Semiotik und Einzeldisziplinen ermöglicht.

        Asian Rice Bowls: The Returning Crisis?

        by Prabhu L Pingali, Mahabub Hossain, Roberta V Gerpacio

        Less than two decades ago, the world was focusing on the impending food crisis across Asia, which was given little hope of ever being able to meet its rapidly growing food demand. Since then, Asia has made a quantum leap in food production. Technological innovations and policies that promoted intensive rice production systems helped achieve this. The authors of this book argue that there is a growing sense of complacency about future food supplies in Asia and that such complacency is not warranted. While rice productivity may increase, this will be limited by a number of factors: withdrawal of land and labor from agriculture to other uses, increased competition for resources, and land degradation. It is unlikely to match the increase in demand for rice because of population growth. The book provides a thorough assessment of the opportunities for increasing land productivity, including crop diversification. It evaluates the successes and limitations of the Green Revolution for rice in Asia and projects economic and technological trends forward over the next three decades.
