A groundbreaking exploration of disability in Germany, from the Weimar Republic to present-day reunified Germany
Qualitative Freedom - Autonomy in Cosmopolitan Responsibility
In the light of growing political and religious fundamentalism, this open access book defends the idea of freedom as paramount for the attempt to find common ethical ground in the age of globality. The book sets out to examine as yet unexhausted ways to boost the resilience of the principle of liberalism. Critically reviewing the last 200 years of the philosophy of freedom, it revises the principle of liberty in order to revive it. It discusses many different aspects that fall under its three main topics: the metaphysics of freedom, quantitative freedom and qualitative freedom. Open societies worldwide have come under increasing pressure in the last decades. The belief that politics and mark...
Innovation, Ethics and our Common Futures
The important yet contradictory role of innovation in society calls for a philosophy of innovation. Critically exploring innovation in relation to values, the economy and social change, Rafael Ziegler proposes a collaborative theory and practice of innovation that aims to liberate possibilities for our common futures.
Cosmos and Republic
In 20 essays inspired by Hannah Arendt's analysis of crisis-ridden modernity, Wolfgang R. Heuer addresses aspects of depoliticization and the loss of politics, and thus of freedom. The wide-ranging essays are grouped in five sections: When Politics Vanishes, The Call of Responsibility, Images and Emotions, Federations, and From Plurality to Cosmos. They lead to the insight that the crises of our time require a common change of perspective towards ecological and political sustainability, the unity of »Cosmos and Republic«.

Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability
The ICEBE conference in Windhoek is the sixth in a series of annual conferences on engineering and business education. It is organized by the Robert-Schmidt-Institute (University Wismar), hosted by Polytechnic of Namibia and co-organised by University of Applied Sciences Jena. The conferences were held in Sibiu (Romania), Manila (Philippines), Cape Town (South Africa) and Wismar (Germany). The theme of the Windhoek Conference is “Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability which describes the emphasis that is laid on always using these three terms in combination, i.e., not to consider one in isolation from the others. Thus the primary target of this conference is to provide the delegates with cross-disciplinary thinking related to the three main streams in engineering and business education.
Geschichte und Zukunft der Arbeit
Ohne Arbeit sind materielle Sicherheit, sinnvolle Lebensgestaltung und gesellschaftliche Anerkennung nur schwer zu erlangen. Doch Massenarbeitslosigkeit und eine sich verändernde Erwerbsarbeit stellen diese zentralen Funktionen der Arbeit in Frage. Die Autoren beleuchten den Stellenwert der Arbeit in der Geschichte, diskutieren die gegenwärtige Beschäftigungskrise und zeigen Perspektiven für den Umgang mit der gewandelten Erwerbsarbeit in der Zukunft auf. Der Band entstand im Zusammenhang mit dem am Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin betriebenen Projekt AGORA - Arbeit, Wissen, Bindung.
Diaconic Entrepreneurship
Aufgrund der Ökonomisierung des sozialen Feldes ist es für traditionelle Unternehmen auf dem Sozialmarkt schwerer geworden, neue soziale Initiativen ins Leben zu rufen. In diese Nischen hinein stoßen Diaconic Entrepreneurs und Diaconic Intrapreneurs mit neuen unternehmerischen Ansätzen. Was hier miteinander verwoben wird, ist der genuin diakonische, oftmals spontane Gedanke des Helfens, gepaart mit unternehmerischem Handeln, der in einer Geschäftsidee mündet, variable Finanzierungsquellen ermittelt und mit eigenem Risiko nachhaltig gesellschaftlich relevante Probleme lösen will.
Social Entrepreneurship and Business Ethics
Social entrepreneurs are change makers that aim to solve society’s unsolved problems. Not surprisingly, social entrepreneurship has thus created high expectations. To better understand the potential as well as the limitations of social entrepreneurship, however, a more nuanced approach is needed in two ways. First, social entrepreneurship is a multi-level phenomenon. It spans macro-level questions as well as meso-level questions and, finally, micro-level questions. If we really want to understand social entrepreneurship, we need to bring together all three levels of analysis and see how they are connected. Second, while social entrepreneurship can certainly produce socially desirable outco...
