Das Wunder des Hörens
Bei diesem kompakten Grundlagenband zur Bedeutung des Auditiven ist der Ausgangspunkt zunächst das Musikhören. Die Wahrnehmung von Musik und Sprache führt zu einer Thematisierung von neurowissenschaftlicher und wahrnehmungspsychologischer Forschung. Diese Darstellung wird ergänzt durch konkrete Fallbeispiele aus der Hörbiografie des Autors. Schopenhauers „Metaphysik der Musik“ führt schließlich unter Verweis auf Werner Heisenberg auch zu überraschenden Verwandtschaften zwischen antiker Philosophie und Quantenphysik.
Erosion of Reality by Spatialisation and Digitalisation
This book offers an innovative view of everyday reality. It clarifies how the spatial dimension of reality, as well as our personal and inter-personal perception and interaction with reality, aggravates human separateness at the expense of human connectedness. It shows how many urgent societal challenges are affected by an imbalance between spatial and the non-spatial aspects, and offers an analysis of the impoverishment of society, both in spatial terms (spatialisation) and in informational terms (digitalisation). Drawing on insights from quantum physics and depth psychology, it proposes an unorthodox view of the potential of humans, and of reality in itself, that was lost in this impoveris...
Sich selbst verstehen
Die Erkenntnistheorie der Innenwelt ist eine Theorie des Verstehens von erlebten Leben aus der Perspektive der ersten Person. Sie integriert die Erfahrung des Anderen, des Leibes und der Sprache und unternimmt den Versuch, sich selbst zu verstehen, als ein Seins- und Denkabenteuer, das durch phänomenologische, hermeneutische und existenzielle sowie literarisch-narrative Verfahren zu erschließen ist. Paul Ludwig Landsberg, der bedeutendste Schüler Max Schelers, konnte, verfolgt von den Nationalsozialisten, nur Fragmente einer Skizze der Erkenntnistheorie der Innenwelt vorlegen. Hier wird sie zum ersten Mal vollständig rekonstruiert und in systematischer Gestalt, klarer Form und durchsichtiger methodischer Begründung vorgelegt. In ihrem Zentrum steht eine Logik des Aufweises, die eine Philosophie der Wiederholung entfaltet.
Styles of Thinking
The way we experience, investigate and interact with reality changes drastically in the course of history. Do such changes occur gradually, or can we pinpoint radical turns, besides periods of relative stability? Building on Oswald Spengler, we zoom in on three styles in particular, namely Apollonian, Magian and Faustian thinking, guided by grounding ideas which can be summarised as follows: "Act in accordance with nature", "Prepare yourself for the imminent dawn" and "Existence equals will to power". Finally, we reach the present. How to characterise the new era we entered around the year 2000?
Philosophy's Duty Towards Social Suffering
Social suffering commands increasing public attention in the wake of several historical processes that have changed the ways victims are perceived. In making suffering eloquent by rendering it in conceptual form, philosophy runs the risk of muting suffering, thereby neutralizing its ability to mobilize responses. In the experience of suffering philosophy finds a limit it must recognize as its own. Yet only by fulfilling its duty towards suffering - only by having the abolition of suffering as its ultimate goal - can philosophical thinking withstand a tacit complicity with injustice. José A.

Border Situations - Crises - Postcritical Creativity
For none of the central survival problems of mankind, which include the increase of the world population, limited resources, transcultural communication problems and information overload, convincing solution concepts exist so far. The areas of tension mentioned are taken up in this volume and placed in the context of overstrain and rebellion of the individual and society. They are the impetus for philosophical thinking and for the conceptualization of the process-dynamic approach as a survival strategy that leads to practical philosophy. Overcoming the borderline situation shows "what man actually is and can become" (Karl Jaspers). Using numerous examples from the fields of psychotherapy, artistic and political action, this book shows that historical and phenomenological analysis needs to be complemented by a process-dynamic approach.
Continental Philosophy of Technoscience
The key objective of this volume is to allow philosophy students and early-stage researchers to become practicing philosophers in technoscientific settings. Zwart focuses on the methodological issue of how to practice continental philosophy of technoscience today. This text draws upon continental authors such as Hegel, Engels, Heidegger, Bachelard and Lacan (and their fields of dialectics, phenomenology and psychoanalysis) in developing a coherent message around the technicity of science or rather, “technoscience”. Within technoscience, the focus will be on recent developments in life sciences research, such as genomics, post-genomics, synthetic biology and global ecology. This book uniquely presents continental perspectives that tend to be underrepresented in mainstream philosophy of science, yet entail crucial insights for coming to terms with technoscience as it is evolving on a global scale today. This is an open access book.
