Abolishing Money
State socialism, neoliberalism - it's all the same! Thus one could put one's finger on the net result which is drawn in this publication. For it eloquently demonstrates that with one or the other economic and monetary concept of money too many people - and far too much humanity - fall by the wayside. The stirring plea for a world without money, however, does not stop at mere criticism, but makes such a world clear to us together with its advantages. A world without money: would it be at all possible? Would we make it possible? That is and remains the crucial question. Here it is asked and answered.
So Human a Brain
WALTER A. ROSENBLITH Footnotes to the Recent History of Neuroscience: Personal Reflections and Microstories The workshop upon which this volume is based offered me an opportunity to renew contact fairly painlessly with workers in the brain sciences, not just as a participant/observer but maybe as what might be called a teller of microstories. I had originally become curious about the brain by way of my wife's senior thesis, in which she attempted to relate electroencephalography to certain aspects of human behavior. As a then-budding physicist and communications engineer, I had barely heard about brain waves, nor had I studied physiology in a systematic way. My work on noise dealt with the e...
Reenchanted Science
By the 1920s in Central Europe, it had become a truism among intellectuals that natural science had "disenchanted" the world, and in particular had reduced humans to mere mechanisms, devoid of higher purpose. But could a new science of "wholeness" heal what the old science of the "machine" had wrought? Some contemporary scientists thought it could. These years saw the spread of a new, "holistic" science designed to nourish the heart as well as the head, to "reenchant" even as it explained. Critics since have linked this holism to a German irrationalism that is supposed to have paved the way to Nazism. In a penetrating analysis of this science, Anne Harrington shows that in fact the story of ...

Besser verstehen? Neu denken!
Einen fundamentalen Epochenwandel, wie er sich im 21. Jahrhundert abzeichnet, gab es schon vor rund 2500 Jahren. Die Ursachen waren andere als heute. Welche neuen Erkenntnisse formulierten die griechischen Philosophen, die damals neu dachten? Und heute, welches sind die Treiber des gegenwärtigen epochalen Wandels? Weltweit? In der Schweiz? Noch sind neue Lösungen blockiert. Können auch wir das alte Denken überwinden, neu denken, um zu verstehen?
Challenging Separate Spheres
This collection of essays centers on women writers who negotiated, interrogated, and challenged the gender ideology of separate spheres through their advocacy and representations of female Bildung. The term Bildung encompasses an individual's entire moral, spiritual, behavioral, emotional, political and intellectual development. The contributors analyze works of fiction, memoirs, autobiographies, letters, the periodical press, and conduct and cookbooks from the mid-1700s to circa 1900 that confront the separate spheres paradigm and promote women's educational and personal development. They examine women's writing and reading practices, moral and gender philosophies, political activism, and w...
