Im Gegensatz zu Adorno hat Habermas kein Interesse mehr daran, sich mit der Metaphysik im Augenblick ihres Sturzes solidarisch zu erklären. Daher behauptet er explizit, ohne »metaphysische Rückendeckung« zu philosophieren und macht dies auch theoriestrategisch deutlich. Die Studie untersucht zunächst die Strategie der Metaphysikkritik bei Habermas, um anschließend die Folgen dieses Vorgehens zu analysieren. Dabei kommt sie zu dem Schluss, dass Habermas eine Naturalisierungsstrategie einschlägt, deren Folgen auf die Konzeption der Diskursethik bisher nicht berücksichtigt worden sind. Dies hat zur Konsequenz, dass Habermas wichtige Aspekte seiner eigenen Ethik unterminiert und damit gerade jener Form von Naturalismus Vorschub leistet, die er eigentlich kritisieren wollte

"Civil society and civic engagement have increasingly become topics of discussion at the national and international level. The editors of this volume ask, does the concept of 'civil society' include gender equality and gender justice? Or, to frame the question differently, is civil society a feminist concept? Conversely, does feminism need the concept of civil society? This important volume offers both a revised gendered history of civil society and a program for making it more egalitarian in the future. An interdisciplinary group of internationally known authors investigates the relationship between public and private in the discourses and practices of civil societies; the significance of the family for the project of civil society; the relation between civil society, the state, and different forms of citizenship; and the complex connection between civil society, gendered forms of protest and nongovernmental movements. While often critical of historical instantiations of civil society, all the authors nonetheless take seriously the potential inherent in civil society, particularly as it comes to influence global politics. They demand, however, an expansion of both the concept and project of civil society in order to make its political opportunities available to all."--Back cover

Obschon Städte zurzeit vor allem durch ihre drastischen Probleme in unser Bewusstsein treten, ist es sinnvoll, auch nach der urbanen Wende an einer Vorstellung von der »guten Stadt« festzuhalten. Dieser Topos bildet eine Konstante der normativen Reflexion der menschlichen Lebensform, die dadurch, dass die Stadt das menschliche Habitat par excellence geworden ist, neue Bedeutung erlangt. Durch eine kritische Rekonstruktion der Geschichte von der »guten Stadt« anhand klassischer sowie zeitgenössischer Beiträge - von Platons Kallipolis bis zu von Borries' Klimakapseln - zeigt Mara-Daria Cojocaru, wie ein gewisser Rest-Utopismus das gesellschaftliche Handeln in den Städten begleiten kann. Sie zeigt: Nicht die gebaute Umwelt bringt bedeutsame Formen von Gesellschaft hervor - vielmehr verhält es sich umgekehrt

Die Mediation gewinnt als Instrument der außergerichtlichen Streitbeilegung immer mehr an Bedeutung – nicht erst seit Inkrafttreten des Mediationsgesetzes. In diesem Werk werden, dem typischen Ablauf eines Mediationsverfahrens folgend, sämtliche Rechtsfragen der Mediation analysiert und beantwortet. Dabei werden die einschlägigen Regelungen des Mediationsgesetzes kommentierend erläutert. Ausführlich behandelt werden die vertraglichen Grundlagen eines Mediationsverfahrens, die verschiedenen Wege in die Mediation sowie deren unterschiedliche Formen, die Rechtsstellung des Mediators, die Stadien eines Mediationsverfahrens, die Abschlussvereinbarung, insbesondere der Mediationsvergleich, die Vertraulichkeit der Mediation, das Güterichterverfahren, hybride Verfahren alternativer Streitbeilegung, außerdem die Kosten eines Mediationsverfahrens und schließlich Mediationsverfahren mit Auslandsberührung Bei den Herausgebern und Autoren handelt es sich um hervorragende Experten, die sowohl als Praktiker (Mediatoren, Güterichter, Rechtsanwälte) und Wissenschaftler als auch als Entwickler und Trainer von Ausbildungsangeboten über jahrelange Mediationserfahrung verfügen. Einige von ihnen waren Teilnehmer der Expertenkommission zur Vorbereitung des Mediationsgesetzes. Das Mediationsgesetz und der Verordnungsentwurf über Ausund Fortbildung von zertifizierten Mediatoren sind im Anhang abgedruckt

What is it about humans that makes language possible, and what is it about language that makes us human? If you are reading this, you have done something that only our species has evolved to do. You have acquired a natural language. This book asks, How has this changed us? Where scholars have long wondered what it is about humans that makes language possible, N. J. Enfield and Jack Sidnell ask instead, What is it about humans that is made possible by language? In Consequences of Language, their objective is to understand what modern language really is and to identify its logical and conceptual consequences for social life. Central to this undertaking is the concept of intersubjectivity, the open sharing of subjective experience. There is, Enfield and Sidnell contend, a uniquely human form of intersubjectivity, and it is essentially intertwined with language in two ways: a primary form of intersubjectivity was necessary for language to have begun evolving in our species in the first place and then language, through its defining reflexive properties, transformed the nature of our intersubjectivity. In the authors' analysis, social accountability—the bedrock of society—is grounded in this linguistically transformed, enhanced kind of intersubjectivity. The account of the language-mind-society connection put forward in Consequences of Language is one of unprecedented reach, suggesting new connections across disciplines centrally concerned with language—from anthropology and philosophy to sociology and cognitive science—and among those who would understand the foundational role of language in making us human

Hate is being reinvented. Over the last two decades, online platforms have been used to repackage racist, sexist and xenophobic ideologies into new sociotechnical forms. Digital hate is ancient but novel, deploying the Internet to boost its allure and broaden its appeal. To understand the logic of hate, Luke Munn investigates four objects: 8chan, the cesspool of the Internet, QAnon, the popular meta-conspiracy, Parler, a social media site, and Gab, the »platform for the people.« Drawing together powerful human stories with insights from media studies, psychology, political science, and race and cultural studies, he portrays how digital hate infiltrates hearts and minds

With a diversity-sensitive and discrimination-critical view, the anthology addresses the significance of power relations within school cultures, structures, and practices. A variety of perspectives are presented in plain and simple language as well as in specialized language. The texts by authors with very different experiences of inclusion and exclusion in the field of education provide stimuli for reflection for lecturers and students in the context of teacher education, practicing teachers, (former) students, and all other interested parties. The volume is intended to encourage readers to engage in (language-)barrier-sensitive reflection and exchange on issues of power in the context of inclusive school development

Anthropocentrism and the fact that some animals are just considered a means to an end while others are loved are often subject to criticism in animal ethics. Drawing on the psychoanalytic theories of Jacques Lacan, the author examines how the apparent ambivalence in human-animal relationships is based on different forms of enjoyment. Referring to the Real, the Symbolic and the Imaginary, which according to Lacan define human reality, the author shows how enjoyment and its limits shape, for example, how we think about pets, farm animals or wild animals. This alternative perspective will contribute to a better understanding of the challenges in human-animal relationships

It is only recently, with the increasing interest in origami and folding in natural sciences and the humanities, that the fold as a new conception in a whole range of disciplines has begun to be conceived in a broader way. Folding as a material and structural process offers a new methodology to think about the close relationship of matter, form and code. It henceforth crosses out old dichotomies, such as the organic and the inorganic or nature and technology, and blurs the boundaries between experimental, conceptual and historical approaches. This anthology aims to unfold this new interdisciplinary field and its disciplinary impact, ranging from materials science, biology, architecture, and mathematics to literature and philosophy

"Forms of institutional governance critically shape the culture, creativity and academic outcomes of higher education. The book provides a new, updated and research based account of the changing face of the governance of British higher education. Historically, British universities were deemed amongst the most, if not the most, autonomous in Europe, with governance rooted in their collegial disciplinary structures. This assessment must now be decisively revised, although the belief systems deriving from it remain buried deep in university culture. Drawing on the authors' investigation of the governance of higher education in the four UK nations, including extensive on-site interviews, and discussions with government policy-makers, the book shows how global, national and system level pressures have changed the face both of the external governance of higher education institutions and how universities govern themselves. Government priorities, new funding methodologies and marketisation have all played a part in this process. Since the mid-1980s, there have been drastic changes in the external environment, reinforced by the increasing diversity within the higher education system as a whole and between the national sub-systems. In addition a new private sector of higher education has been created. New forms of institutional governance are emerging which may have profound effects on research and teaching and on academic creativity and innovation. The study discusses the effects of a state regulated system compared with the more heterarchical system which preceded it. It offers a comparison of the effects of devolved governance to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on the respective higher education systems and their impact on institutional governance. The study concludes that England is becoming increasingly an outlier, and discusses the long term implications for the coherence of a British higher education system"--Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies

The built environment is a critical factor in the climate equation. Approximately 40 percent of global emissions derive from the construction, operation, and demolition of human settlements. The 21st century must be the century of re-entanglement, where quintessential functions (housing, work, culture, recreation, etc.) are reintegrated within urban spaces; where socioeconomic and ecological systems form a mutually supportive network of networks; and where past, present, and future are perceived as interwoven waves in the river of time. Fortunately, opportunities exist to transform the built environment from a carbon source to a carbon sink through, e.g. timber construction high-rise buildings, circular bioeconomy methods, AI-assisted design, smart recycling technology, multifunctional land use, integrated regional resource management, and community-based urban development, to name just a few

À la différence des comptabilités contemporaines, quelles qu'elles soient, secs alignements de chiffres que l'on a pu aisément informatiser, les documents comptables de la fin du Moyen Âge se limitent rarement à de simples « écritures » d'opérations mathématiques : si celles-ci sont bien présentes, elles se trouvent en fait insérées dans un cadre narratif aux vastes implications techniques, juridiques et politiques. L'objet de ce livre est d'analyser ce discours en posant les premiers jalons d'une typologie des formes comptables sur la longue durée. De nombreuses études de cas sont ici présentées, entre péninsules Ibérique et Italienne, Flandres, Royaume de France, Provence, Dauphiné et terres germaniques, qui mettent à l'épreuve le postulat énoncé en introduction par lequel on propose de considérer les profonds bouleversements de la pratique comptable observables au tournant du xiiie et du xive siècle comme l'une des premières manifestations de la « rupture de l'épistémè occidentale » chère à Michel Foucault

Le livre imprimé est le lieu privilégié pour comprendre comment s'est construit un nouveau regard sur l'Antiquité à la suite des guerres de Religion, de la mise en place de la censure des images ainsi que de la centralisation du pouvoir politique. Or, le nom de celles et ceux qui en ont déterminé la forme propre – imprimeurs, libraires, graveurs, correcteurs – ne figurent pas toujours en page de titre. Ils ont pourtant traduit, modifié et parfois déplacé des textes et des images pour répondre aux attentes d'un public friand de nouveautés. La présente enquête part d'un livre recomposé à partir d'un texte de Natale Conti et des illustrations de Vincenzo Cartari. Bricolé à la hâte dans une officine lyonnaise au début du xviie siècle, il a connu une fortune extraordinaire. Ses sources et sa postérité sont analysées à travers des figures monstrueuses entre la fable, la caricature religieuse, les sciences naturelles et la littérature de voyage, de l'Hécate à trois têtes aux démons dotés de seins pendants jusqu'aux sorcières du Brésil
