The Way of Thinking in Chinese Medicine
Chinese Medicine is an outstanding scientific proposition system with its own structural, methodological and theoretical prerequisites flowing into the specific practices that make Chinese Medicine popular in the Western world. However, we should be aware of the fact that Chinese Medicine is challenged in its existence because it is widely unknown. Fostering the understanding of Chinese Medicine in various aspects is, hence, the main aim of this book that gives interesting insights into the discussions on current developments in Chinese Medicine research.
Five Lectures on the Foundations of Chinese Medicine
The book contains the latest results of the research on the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), done by Professor Wallner from Vienna and a group of leading TCM specialists. The research on TCM does not deal with single medical concepts, but concentrates on its foundations, the structure and form of this medical science. It discusses the relation of TCM and Western Medicine, a concept of science, their peculiarities and differences, the problems of a thoughtless mixture. The book mainly presents five lectures by Professor Wallner about his latest research on the structure of TCM. Additionally, the book contains contributions from TCM specialists as Zhang Weibo, Lan Feng-Li, and Günter Gunia.
Meaning in Our Bodies
In Meaning in Our Bodies, Heike Peckruhn argues that scholars who appeal to the importance of bodily experiences need to acquire a robust and nuanced understanding of how sensory perceptions and interactions are cultural and theological acts of making meaning.
The Meritocratic Promise of Classical Liberalism
In an era of Market Triumphalism, this book follows the quest to address a myriad of prominent socio-economic pathologies in Western democracies – such as skyrocketing financial inequality, marketization, hereditary privileges, as well as dysfunctional types of merit-based justice – without surrendering their liberal foundation altogether in favor of an entirely different political framework. The author argues that classical liberalism should be regarded as a valuable doctrine worth keeping, and that the liberal tradition is not inevitably destined to succumb into the neoliberal and increasingly plutocratic as well as nepotistic manifestation responsible for the growing discontentment wi...
Philosophers on the Russian Aggression in Ukraine
The Russian aggression in Ukraine, culminated in its invasion on 24 February 2022, has left friend nor foe untouched and continues to shock the international philosophical community. In order to offer a wide range of perspectives on this predicament that affects each and every one of us, the present volume brings together ten philosophers – from France to Georgia, from students to professionals and professors – who shed different lights on the war. They have been asked to express themselves parrhesiastically, in other words to speak boldly, putting themselves on the line, from their personal aim at the truth and for the common good, therefore in the form of essays rather than standard scientific articles.
Regolith Exploration Geochemistry in Tropical and Subtropical Terrains
Hardbound. The use of exploration geochemistry has increased enormously in the last decade. The present volume specifically addresses those geochemical exploration practices appropriate for tropical, sub-tropical and adjacent areas - in environments ranging from rainforest to desert. Practical recommendations are made for the optimization of sampling, and analytical and interpretational procedures for exploration according to the particular nature of tropically weathered terrains. The underlying theme is the recognition that regions between 35N and 35S in particular have a common history of deep chemical weathering and lateritization during the late Mesozoic and early Tertiary. This has had a profound and lasting effect, so that the surface geochemical expressions of mineralization throughout these regions have many similar features, with local modification due to more recent weathering under changed climates.The volume discusses the da
Science, Medicine, and Culture
Constructive Realism, an increasingly discussed philosophy of science founded by the Viennese philosopher of science Fritz G. Wallner, is the core issue of the texts gathered in this volume. The authors either discuss the constructive-realistic view philosophically or present their research interpreted by the constructive-realistic doctrine. Constructive Realism inspires philosophy as well as natural science and humanities. This volume proves this inspiring feature of Constructive Realism. All texts are written by colleagues, friends and scholars of Fritz G. Wallner to honour his 60th birthday.
Ethics under the Aspect of Constructive Realism
Ethics is a wide field which has contradicting argumentation. This book tries to open the foundations of ethics by the means of philosophical reasoning. It bridges the gap between the argumentation of ethics and the discussions in the philosophy of science.
