This book deals with the question of whether religious worldviews fulfil an explanatory function in the lives of believers. After rebutting some common objections to this claim, the author proposes to understand the explanatory nature of religious belief along the lines of inference to the best explanation. This proposal is qualified in view of the peculiar nature of religious belief: It is stressed that the type of explanation concerned occurs within the bounds of religion alone, and loses its sense apart from the religious form of life. In unfolding his argument, the author draws heavily on ideas of explanation developed in the philosophy of science, pointing to differences and comparisons between religious and scientific explanations. The author concludes by considering some specific things that theism explains.
Elektromagnete werden heute im wachsenden Umfang als Antriebselemente mechatronischer Systeme im Maschinenbau, im Fahrzeugbau sowie in der Automatisierungs- und Präzisionstechnik eingesetzt. Als Magnetaktoren bestimmen sie in mechatronischen Systemen entscheidend die funktionellen Eigenschaften moderner technischer Produkte mit. Dieses Fachbuch vermittelt die physikalischen Grundlagen, den Entwurf und ausgewählte Einsatzgebiete von Gleichstrom-, Wechselstrom- und polarisierten Elektromagneten. In der aktuellen Auflage wurden u. a. Normen aktualisiert und zahlreiche Abbildungen überarbeitet.

This definitive Handbook addresses the current lack of research into European policymaking and development using an interpretive perspective. Questioning areas that mainstream approaches tend to neglect, contributors target the ways in which ideas, arguments and discourses shape policies in the institutional context of the EU.
