Understanding the Other and Oneself
Philosophy is more than just an academic subject; it is useful and enriching in everyday life as well. This is the main conviction of philosophical practitioners. Philosophical practice has been developing as a new movement within philosophy for several decades now, although it has ancient roots. Today, there are philosophical practitioners throughout the world who exchange ideas and experience in journals and during regular international conferences, such as the 14th International Conference on Philosophical Practice, which took place in Bern, Switzerland, in 2016 under the main topic “Understanding the Other and Oneself.” A selection of thirteen papers from this conference, as well as five panel contributions on various subjects regarding its main topic, are gathered in this book. These contributions to the conference will be of significance and interest not only for philosophers and philosophical practitioners, but also for psychotherapists, counsellors, pedagogues and other professionals.
Ökosophie – Notwendigkeit einer philosophisch-ökologischen Lebenskunst
"An ökologischem Wissen fehlt es uns nicht. An Ökosophie schon." (Arne Naess) "Ich bin damit am Ende. Jetzt können Sie, wenn Sie möchten, sich vorstellen, damit wir ein wenig erfahren, wo Sie landen, wo Sie sich erden wollen und mit wem Sie bereit sind zusammenzuleben." (Bruno Latour) Ganzheitliches Lernen und Erfahrungen sind nötig, um sich ökologisch orientiert im Leben, unserem Alltag, zu bewegen. Mit Bezug auf den norwegischen Philosophen Arne Naess, einem der Begründer der Tiefenökologie (deep ecology), einer der ersten "Grünen" Bewegungen der 1970er Jahre und seinem Begriff der Ökosophie, wird gezeigt, wie Erfahrungen mit natürlichen Wesen uns Menschen wirklich ökologisch nachhaltig prägen und sensibilisieren. Ein Leben, in dem achtende Anerkennung als zentraler Gedanke das eigene Denken und Handeln bestimmt, führt zu einer eigenen ökologischen Art zu leben – lässt Raum dafür, seine eigene Ökosophie zu finden, sich als Erdverbundene:r (earthbound) zu positionieren. Christine Mok-Wendt zeigt mit ihrer transdisziplinären Ausarbeitung, wie ein ökosophes Leben aussehen könnte.

The Pandemic Century
Like sharks, epidemic diseases always lurk just beneath the surface. This fast-paced history of their effect on mankind prompts questions about the limits of scientific knowledge, the dangers of medical hubris, and how we should prepare as epidemics become ever more frequent. Ever since the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic, scientists have dreamed of preventing catastrophic outbreaks of infectious disease. Yet, despite a century of medical progress, viral and bacterial disasters continue to take us by surprise, inciting panic and dominating news cycles. From the Spanish flu and the 1924 outbreak of pneumonic plague in Los Angeles to the 1930 'parrot fever' pandemic and the more recent SARS, Ebola, and Zika epidemics, the last 100 years have been marked by a succession of unanticipated pandemic alarms. Like man-eating sharks, predatory pathogens are always present in nature, waiting to strike; when one is seemingly vanquished, others appear in its place. These pandemics remind us of the limits of scientific knowledge, as well as the role that human behaviour and technologies play in the emergence and spread of microbial diseases.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
