"Mit der von Wittgenstein eingeleiteten Ablösung des mentalistischen Vorstellungsbegriffs durch den sprachlichen Zeichen- und Regelbegriff ist Kants Philosophie in ein Spannungsfeld geraten, das vielfältige Transformationen provozierte. So befruchtend sich dieses Spannungsfeld auf die analytisch orientierte Gegenwartsphilosophie auswirkt, so hartnäckig meldet sich der Verdacht eines entscheidenden Fragedefizits: die pragmatische Akzentuierung der Regeln in Funktion läßt deren qualitativen Ursprung im Dunkeln. Die Funktionsbeschreibung des Regelcharakters gibt noch keine Auskunft über die Regelqualität der Regeln. Sie könnten genausogut der empirisch eingespielten Regelpraxis selbst entnommen sein, für die sie nichtfaktizitäre Geltung beanspruchen. Nach welchen Regeln kann der Geltungsanspruch solcher funktionalanalytisch gewonnener Regeln seinerseits beurteilt und begründet werden? Schönrich zeigt, daß Kants theoretischer Ansatz mit seinen latent semiotischen Implikationen den sprachkritischen Transformationen nicht nur entgegenkommt, sondern darüber hinaus das entstandene Begründungsdefizit begleicht. Der in Frage stehende Regelbegriff einer Regel der Regelbeurteilung erweist sich als der operationalisierte Begriff der Vernunft, die »alle Entscheidungen aus den Grundregeln ihrer eigenen Einsetzung hernimmt«. Die Antwort auf die Frage nach dem Regelcharakter kann in der These zusammengefaßt werden: Die Urteilsfunktion und Kategorien gelten als die transzendentalsyntaktischen und -sematischen Regeln des Zeichengebrauchs überhaupt; sie ermöglichen erst dessen liguistisch je schon vorausgesetzte Allgemeinheits- und Bedeutungsfähigkeit. Die Frage nach der Regelqualität wird in der systematischen Entfaltung dieser »Grundregeln der eigenen Einsetzung« und ihrer Implikate zu drei differenzierbaren Argumentationsniveaus beantwortet, die die aufgebürdete Beweislast zu tragen vermögen. Auch hier bleibt die Zeichenvermitteltheit allen Denkens und Erkennens in Kraft. Vernunft äußert sich nicht selbst, sie wird von der reflektierenden Urteilskraft - dem Ort der transzendentalen Argumentation - methodisch als Letztinstanz in Anspruch genommen, eine Inanspruchnahme, die sich jedoch als vernünftig ausweisen läßt."

As the field of tourism grows in maturity and scientific sophistication, it is important to fully understand the breadth and depth of vacation experience value. Current research delivers a multitude of approaches to value creation, represented here as a set of definitions, perspectives, and interpretations of how tourists, as customers, create value alone and with others. Providing an analytical and systematic clarification of the approaches, this book suggests an understanding of the differences, offering new and practical knowledge for tourism scholars and professionals to highlight the relevance of the concept to firms and organizations. Including a framework to distinguish among key resources or antecedents of customer value, this book also considers consumer behaviour and factors affecting value creation from physiological and psychological perspectives. Concluding with a summary of the areas for future research, it is a valuable resource for researchers of tourism, leisure and recreation. ; This book evaluates vacation experience value, as it is created and co-created by the tourist engaging in the experience, for himself, other tourists and the tourism firm.

Mazen, a young boy, is one day surprised by their neighbor Bassam shouting with anger in the street “My parking spot is a red line!” Does this mean he plans to paint the street red, asks Mazen to his mother? The mother explains to Mazen that what Bassam means is simply that no one is to park in his place. The notion is still vague to Mazen: Why red? Does it have anything to do with red traffic lights? The mother tries again “When something is a red line, it means that it is off limits to others”. In this illustrated album, Samar Barraj boldly addresses the delicate issue of child sexual abuse. Acknowledging the complexity of the boundary it tackles, the book determines it through examples the mother and child raise in their conversation. Mazen’s spontaneous remarks and comments point out the difficulty of defining this red line, and make of the book a realistic example of such a conversation. The illustrations develop the notion further, by representing situations in which the red line might be crossed – one may be on his bicycle, at his computer, or approached by a respectable-looking old man in the street. The body parts are not named, but are represented in a naïve drawing Mazen made, though the text insists on the importance of preserving the body as a whole. The colorful images and constant presence of the mother and parents make of the book a reassuring experience despite the gravity of the topic.

This Book systematically explores the formation and development of the mass line thought of the Chinese Communist Party, and analyzes its mass viewpoint under different historical conditions, including: (1) Formation and theoretical generalization of the mass line thought. For the first time, the Communist Party of China realized the transformation of the revolutionary subject from the elite to the masses. (2) Continuations and setbacks of the mass line thought. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the general implementation of democratic centralism in national institutions and organizations, and the establishment of political consultation system and the system of people's congress fully reflect the application of the Party's mass line in the establishment of specific systems. (3) Restoration and innovation of the mass line thought. Since the Reform and Opening-up, the Party has restored the fine tradition of the mass line. DENG Xiaoping's theory of "People's Support", "People's Approval", "People's Delightfulness" and "People's Agreement", JIANG Zemin's "Three Represents", and HU Jintao's theory that "The government must function by the mandate of the people, empathize with the feelings of the people, and work for the well-being of the people" all reflect the innovation of the Party's mass line in the new century."

David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.

Das allgemeine Klima ist gegenwärtig für eine Philosophie des Kantischen Typs, sei sie verstanden als Philosophie, die zentriert ist um das Rechtfertigungsproblem und die entsprechenden Disziplinen – Erkenntniskritik, Sprachkritik, Logik, Wissenschaftstheorie –, sei es auch nur begriffen als Philosophie, die dem Rechtfertigungsproblem und den entsprechenden Disziplinen relativ großes Gewicht einräumt, bei weitem nicht mehr so günstig wie noch vor etwa zwanzig Jahren. Sowohl die Möglichkeit wie auch Sinn und Nutzen philosophischer Grundlegungsversuche, philosophischer Begründung oder gar Letztbegründung wurden wirkungsvoll von den an Einfluß ständig gewinnenden Strömungen der Hermeneutik, des Neopragmatismus, des Neokonstrukturalismus, des radikalen Fallibilismus in Frage gestellt und mit alledem zugleich die bisher vorherrschenden Konzeptionen von Philosophie als (z. B. transzendental-philosophischer oder auch formalsemantischer) Grundlagendisziplin, von Philosophie als – der Idee nach – strenger Wissenschaft, oder auch nur von Philosophie als Kritik. Das ist Grund genug, dem Problem »Philosophie und Begründung«, der Frage also nach der Möglichkeit philosophischer Begründung und dem Sinn von Begründung für die Philosophie, ja für den Begriff von Rationalität, gesondert nachzugehen.
