This meta-evaluation 'Sustainability in German development cooperation' is part of DEval's thematic focus on sustainability. The meta-evaluationis complemented by an accompanying evaluation synthesis. Linked by an integrated evaluation design, the two reports share a common database and pursue complementary objectives.

What research designs and methodological features qualify a study for meta-analysis and which disqualify it? What types of research reports are appropriate for the meta-analysis? What is the cultural and linguistic range of the studies to be included? By integrating and translating the current methodological and statistical work into a practical guide, the authors address these questions to provide readers with a state-of-the-art introduction to the various approaches to doing meta-analysis.

Die vorliegende Meta-Evaluierung "Nachhaltigkeit in der deutschen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit" ist Teil des DEval-Themenschwerpunktes Nachhaltigkeit. Die Meta-Evaluierung wird durch eine begleitende Evaluierungssynthese ergänzt. Im Rahmen eines integrierten Evaluierungsdesigns basieren beide Berichte auf einer gemeinsamen Datengrundlage und haben komplementäre Ziele.

Main description: The author presents a new existential interpretation of Nietzsche. He argues that Nietzsche's approach, especially in his mature works, is to make the typical existential position foundational, and then to develop to the fullest the implications of this position. This meta-existential approach necessarily yields an ambiguous and open-ended critique of metaphysics. The task of simply overcoming metaphysics is shown to be inapplicable to Nietzsche.

Metaethics is the study of moral language, moral ontology, and moral epistemology. This book addresses each of these in a way accessible to both students and professional philosophers. Van Reken defends the classic view of moral realism, advanced by philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Kant. Moral language tends to be the focus of much current metaethical discussion, but this volume concerns itself more with questions of moral ontology and moral epistemology. The concept of the moral field is introduced, which helps distinguish what is moral and what is amoral (a discussion too often overlooked by moralists), and--adapting an epistemological theory developed by Alvin Plantinga--an argument is made that we can know moral truths. Principia Meta-Ethica presents a return to the core issues of metaethics and strengthens the case for moral realism with new arguments, distinctions, and concepts

Das 20. Jahrhundert war geprägt von der Welt der Massenmedien und der Massenkultur, die in Fabriken erstellt wurde. Das 21. Jahrhundert wird geprägt sein von Digitalisierung, Datennutzung und deren Folgen. Die Welt des Durchschnittsangebots, das für alle gleich ist, wird erweitert um das digitale Prinzip der Personalisierung: Inhalte entstehen nicht mehr einzig beim Hersteller und Absender, sondern werden mittels Datensammlung und -auswertung auf den Konsumenten und Empfänger zugeschnitten. Entgegen der vorschnellen Verteufelung dieser Entwicklung als Entmündigung und Überwachung beleuchtet Dirk von Gehlen Chancen des Endes des Durchschnitts und zeigt sehr konkret, wie Personalisierung, Datennutzung und Digitalisierung die Arbeit von Medizinern, Marktforschern, Fußballern und Carsharing-Anbietern verändern. Erst auf dieser Grundlage kann die entscheidende Frage zum Wandel von der Lautsprecher- zur Kopfhörerkultur gestellt werden: Wer bestimmt die Playlist?
