Alas. Life is a Story - story.one
Once, a long time ago, I loved. I was young and without any sorrow. That is where I saw him first. He was smaller than one would think about a prince of the mighty kingdom of Sparta. His dark skin shone golden in the sun, every time it laid its rays upon him. The dark hair flew freely in the loving morning wind, which danced with his curls as he laughed. I came to love him dearly. But love is no thing, that would ever come to one without a price. He was the price I had to pay for our time spent together. I thought I could trick the fates and have him for me and for me alone. But no one can trick fate. Not even me. Not even the god Apollo.
The Elisabeth missing persons case
"Cold-case investigation": What generates ratings on television almost appears in this case to be an attempt to use force to assess facts and witness statements exclusively to the disadvantage of the accused instead of weighing them up objectively. Although there is still no body and the circumstances of the disappearance in the Elisabeth missing persons case are completely unexplained, suspicions by the family of the missing person and in some cases dubious witness statements were enough to have the accused remanded in custody again 15 years after the alleged crime. Only a courageous judge and jury put an end to the nightmare.

Volume 2
Diagrams are an essential part of the most diverse processes of communication and cognition. Indeed, today the production of all kinds of text (including this one) is mediated by diagrammatic tools to be found on computer desktops. Not surprisingly, then, diagrams have become the object of much historical and theoretical work. This book--volume 2 of the Proceedings of the 33rd International Wittgenstein Symposium--is dedicated to this quickly growing field of interdisciplinary research. It includes contributions from philosophy, sociology (space syntax), art history, and history of science. Historically, there is a focus on Otto Neurath and his famous visual language (ISOTYPE), while the new attempts at theorizing diagrams presented here are mainly inspired by Charles Sanders Peirce and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Volume 1
What is an image? How can we describe the experience of looking at images, and how do they become meaningful to us? In what sense are images like or unlike propositions? Participants of the 33rd International Wittgenstein Symposium--philosophers as well as historians of art, science, and literature--provide many stimulating answers. Some of the contributions are dedicated to Wittgenstein’s thoughts on images while others testify to the important role notions coined or inspired by Wittgenstein--“seeing as”, “picture games” and the dichotomy of “saying and showing”--play in the field of picture theory today. This first volume of the Proceedings of the 2010 conference addresses readers interested in the history and theory of images, and in the philosophy of Wittgenstein.
