        Zur Dialektik von Moderne und Postmoderne

        by Albrecht Wellmer

        Gegenüber den anti-rationalen Zweideutigkeiten des sogenannten Postmodernismus verteidigt Albrecht Wellmer die Perspektive einer radikalisierten Aufklärung. In kritischer Anknüpfung an Adorno setzt er diese Perspektive zu zentralen Impulsen der modernen Kunst in Beziehung.

        Endspiele: Die unversöhnliche Moderne

        Essays und Vorträge

        by Albrecht Wellmer

        Die Idee einer postmetaphysischen Moderne ist das gemeinsame Thema der in diesem Band enthaltenen Arbeiten Albrecht Wellmers aus den letzten fünfzehn Jahren. Die geschichtlichen Utopien in der Marxschen Tradition sind ebenso wie die Letztbegründungsprogramme in der Kantischen Tradition Endspiele innerhalb der Metaphysik, die Dekonstruktionen dieser Utopien und Letztbegründungsprogramme sind Endspiele mit der Metaphysik. Und das Spiel mit dem Ende als einem letzten Telos - der Geschichte, der Erkenntnis, des menschlichen Lebens - ist die Metaphysik.

        Ethik und Dialog

        Elemente des moralischen Urteils bei Kant und in der Diskursethik

        by Albrecht Wellmer

        Albrecht Wellmer unternimmt in seinem Buch den Versuch, Grundideen der Diskursethik aus dem Zusammenhang einer Konsenstheorie der Wahrheit, in dem sie bei Apel und Habermas stehen, herauszulösen und neu zu formulieren. Dies bedeutet zugleich eine partielle Rehabilitierung Kants wie auch eine Veränderung der Stoßrichtung der Kritik an Kant. Es soll nicht eine neue Moralphilosophie begründet werden, es sollen vielmehr Grundintuitionen der Kantischen und der an Kant anknüpfenden Moralphilosophie in einen engen Zusammenhang gebracht werden. Auf diese Weise soll gezeigt werden, daß die universalistische Ethik nicht auf die Möglichkeit einer Letztbegründung und nicht auf die Perspektive eines letzten Konsenses angewiesen ist. Durch die Herauslösung der Ethik aus dem Zusammenhang absolutistischer Begründungs- und Versöhnungsperspektiven soll zugleich die Möglichkeit eröffnet werden, die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang der verschiedenen Rationalitätsdimensionen - wissenschaftlich-technische, ästhetische, moralisch-praktische Rationalität - in einer neuen Weise zu stellen.

        A grand strategy of peace

        Britain and the creation of the United Nations Organization, 1939-1945

        by Andrew Ehrhardt

        A grand strategy of peace is the first detailed account of Britain's role in the creation of the United Nations Organization during the Second World War. As a work of traditional diplomatic history that brings in elements of intellectual history, the book describes how British officials, diplomats, politicians, and writers - previously seen to be secondary actors to the United States in this period - thought about, planned for, and helped to establish a future international order. While in the present day, many scholars and analysts have returned to the origins of the post- 1945 international system, this book offers an exhaustive account of how the statesmen and more importantly, the officials working below the statesmen, actually conceived of and worked to establish a post-war world order.

        8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS

        The Defining Issue of the 21st Century

        by Valorie M. Allen

        The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

        Lung Plague

        Origins, Impact and Epidemiology of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia

        by Robin Nicholas, Justin Kastner

        Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), or lung plague, is one of the great historic diseases of livestock, and still causes major economic losses in Sub-Saharan Africa. It spread to all continents where cattle were farmed in the 19th and 20th centuries, but until relatively recently little was known of its origins and impact around the world. Covering its worldwide spread, impact in terms of economic losses, and control and diagnostic methods used, this book focuses on the five continents that CBPP infected. By examining primary sources, it provides an accurate and definitive account of the behaviour of the disease, and the response of control authorities and livestock owners to it. Filling in the gaps for this World Organisation for Animal Health listed disease, this book is a useful reference for anyone studying or researching the spread of animal disease and disease control.

        Roosevelt's peacetime administrations, 1933–41

        A documentary history

        by G. Bennett, Harry Bennett

        Over a half-century after the death of Roosevelt the debate on his presidency and the New Deal remains vibrant, for in many ways he created the modern presidency and he remains a giant of American political history. This book, specifically designed for sixth-form and undergraduate use, serves as an essential introduction to his domestic policy during his tenure from the struggles of the Depression to the outbreak of the Second World War. Incorporating archival discoveries at the Roosevelt Presidential Library, this documentary collection focuses on the debates and controversies surrounding the implementation and practice of New Deal policies. It highlights the meanings, flaws and outcomes of Roosevelt's attempts to refashion American society. With an extensive contextualising introduction, the book reproduces extracts from a variety of sources including Government records, public addresses and speeches and the private papers of Roosevelt and some of his closest associates. ;

        Sprachphilosophie

        Eine Vorlesung

        by Albrecht Wellmer, Thomas Hoffmann, Juliane Rebentisch, Ruth Sonderegger

        Der Band geht auf zwei Vorlesungen zurück, die Albrecht Wellmer an der FU Berlin gehalten hat. Ausgangspunkt ist eine kritische Betrachtung der Theorien Wittgensteins und Davidsons aus sprachpragmatischer Perspektive, der ein Exkurs zum Verhältnis von Wahrheit und Rechtfertigung folgt. Schließlich erweitert er die sprachanalytischen Fragestellungen um eine hermeneutische Sicht auf unsere Sprachpraxis. Mit Heidegger, Gadamer und Derrida geht er dabei einerseits über die Grenzen hinaus, die durch die sprachanalytische Vorgehensweise gezogen sind, konfrontiert andererseits die Texte der »kontinentalen« Philosophie mit den zuvor aus den sprachanalytischen Ansätzen gewonnenen überlegungen. Beide Traditionslinien werden somit im Sinne einer kritisch-hermeneutischen Sprachphilosophie zusammengeführt.
