Dieses Buch behandelt die motivationale Bedeutung von Ideen in kollektiven Handlungszusammenhängen. Es entwickelt ein motivationspsychologisch und sozialphilosophisch begründetes Modell, das dem ideenbasierten Neoinstitutionalismus eine handlungstheoretische Mikrofundierung verschafft. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Ideen und kollektivem Handeln wird anhand dreier Untersuchungsfälle – der Partei Bündnis 90/Die Grünen aus Deutschland, der brasilianischen Arbeiterpartei und der Tea Party-Bewegung in den USA - in historisch-vergleichender Perspektive rekonstruiert. Der Autor Dr. Thomas Kestler ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Institut für Politikwissenschaft und Soziologie der Universität Würzburg.

Dieses Buch ist eine Open Access Publikation. Der lange gehegte Traum von künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) wird in unserer Alltagswelt zunehmend Realität. Damit verbinden sich hohe gesellschaftliche Erwartungen, aber auch Sorgen hinsichtlich einer schleichenden Entmündigung des Menschen. Am Beispiel des Forschungssektors lotet dieser Band die Optionen, Entwicklungschancen und Risiken von KI-Techniken für die Zukunft des wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisprozesses und der darauf beruhenden technischen Entwicklungen aus. Zu diesem Zweck wird zunächst der Stand der KI-Technik und ihrer Anwendungen dargestellt. Es folgen wissenschaftsphilosophische Untersuchungen zur Frage der Ersetzbarkeit des forschenden Menschen durch KI und zu erwartenden Veränderungen in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung. Weitere Abschnitte widmen sich den Folgen für die Arbeitswelt von Forschern/Forscherinnen sowie den durch KI erzeugten neuen Herausforderungen für die rechtliche Regulierung im Spannungsfeld von Wissenschaftsfreiheit und Datenschutz. Der Band schließt mit Empfehlungen für die verantwortlichen Akteure in Wissenschaft, Forschungspolitik und Gesellschaft aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive.
