What Does it Mean to be an Empiricist?
This book begins with an observation: At the time when empiricism arose and slowly established itself, the word itself had not yet been coined. Hence the central question of this volume: What does it mean to conduct empirical science in early modern Europe? How can we catch the elusive figure of the empiricist? Our answer focuses on the practices established by representative scholars. This approach allows us to demonstrate two things. First, that empiricism is not a monolith but exists in a plurality of forms.

Der Verleger Johann Friedrich Cotta
Johann Friedrich Cotta (1764--1832) ist der bedeutendste Verleger der Goethezeit. In nur wenigen Jahren machte er seinen Verlag mit Autoren wie Goethe, Schiller, Hölderlin, Jean Paul, Herder, Varnhagen von Ense, Alexander von Humboldt, Fichte, Schelling oder Hegel zum führenden Verlag der deutschen "Nationalliteratur" und zum größten Universalverlag seiner Zeit. Zum ersten Mal wird nun die Entwicklung des Cotta-Verlags unter seiner Leitung in einer Bibliographie erschlossen. In insgesamt 2.246 Einträgen ist hier jede Ausgabe oder Auflage eines bei Cotta erschienenen Werks verzeichnet. Die Bibliographie wurde 2006 von der International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) anlässlich der alle vier Jahre stattfindenden Vergabe des ILAB Prize for Bibliography mit einer "Honourable Mention" ausgezeichnet. Die Cotta-Verlagsbibliographie erhielt auch den 10. ANTIQUARIA-Preis für Buchkultur 2004.
History of Linguistics 2011
This volume brings together a selection of papers presented at the 12th International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences (ICHoLS XII) held in St. Petersburg, Russia, 28 August – 2 September 2011. It begins with contributions on 17th-century rationalist ideas and practical grammar writing, and then covers a great variety of 18th and 19th century topics from Western grammars of Chinese to Saussure’s remarks on semiology of the years 1881–1891. The most noteworthy feature, however, is an entire section devoted to linguistics in Russia from the early Soviet period until the 1950s, including attempts to establish a Marxist view of language as well as phases to critically adapt Western ideas and at times efforts to participate successfully in international linguistic scholarship, both in phonetics and semantics.
