Refurbishing Epistemology
Even though important developments within 20th and 21st century philosophy have widened the scope of epistemology, this has not yet resulted in a systematic meta-epistemological debate about epistemology’s aims, methods, and criteria of success. Ideas such as the methodology of reflective equilibrium, the proposal to "naturalize" epistemology, constructivist impulses fuelling the "sociology of scientific knowledge", pragmatist calls for taking into account the practical point of epistemic evaluations, as well as feminist criticism of the abstract and individualist assumptions built into traditional epistemology are widely discussed, but they have not typically resulted in the call for, let...
EPSA15 Selected Papers
This edited collection showcases some of the best recent research in the philosophy of science. It comprises of thematically arranged papers presented at the 5th conference of the European Philosophy of Science Association (EPSA15), covering a broad variety of topics within general philosophy of science, and philosophical issues pertaining to specific sciences. The collection will appeal to researchers with an interest in the philosophical underpinnings of their own discipline, and to philosophers who wish to study the latest work on the themes discussed.
Einstein vs. Bergson
This book brings together papers from a conference that took place in the city of L'Aquila, 4–6 April 2019, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the earthquake that struck on 6 April 2009. Philosophers and scientists from diverse fields of research debated the problem that, on 6 April 1922, divided Einstein and Bergson: the nature of time. For Einstein, scientific time is the only time that matters and the only time we can rely on. Bergson, however, believes that scientific time is derived by abstraction, even in the sense of extraction, from a more fundamental time. The plurality of times envisaged by the theory of Relativity does not, for him, contradict the philosophical intuition of ...
Marken für Menschen
Den Preis nicht wert, viel Fassade, unredliches Verhalten: Kunden sind gegenüber Marken immer misstrauischer. Als Ursache orten die Autoren Thomas Harder und Nicolas Wüthrich ein fundamentales Marken-Missverständnis: Man meint, Marken aussen durch Logo und Werbung machen zu können, während man innen bei den Leistungen spart. Marke ist nach Marken für Menschen nicht mehr das Gleiche: Marke wird auf die Kundschaft ausgerichtetes Zentrum von Führung und Strategie, verbindet innen mit aussen. Marken für Menschen vermittelt Führungsverantwortlichen einen völlig neuen Zugang zum Potenzial ihrer Unternehmen, Institutionen sowie Standorte und lässt Marken entstehen, für die Kunden gerne zahlen. Bahnbrechend, konzentriert, praxisorientiert.
Ethics and Future Generations
Existing human beings stand in a unique relationship of asymmetrical influence over future generations. Our choices now can settle whether there are any human beings in the further future; how many will exist; what capacities and abilities they might have; and what the character of the natural world they inhabit is like. This volume, with contributions from both new voices and prominent, established figures in moral and political philosophy, examines three generally underexplored themes concerning morality and our relationship to future generations. First, would it be morally wrong to allow humanity to go extinct? Or do we have moral reasons to try and ensure that humanity continues into the indefinite future? Second, if humanity is to continue into the future, how many people should there be? And is it morally important whether they have lives that are of high quality or are just barely worth living? And third, how can we best make sense of the intuitive idea that by not taking action on climate change and preserving natural resources, we are in some way wronging future generations? This book was originally published as a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Philosophy.
THINKOUT – Selbst denken in einer Welt voller Antworten
SELBST DENKEN UND EIGENE ANTWORTEN FINDEN Immer häufiger delegieren wir unser Denken an andere Menschen oder sogar an Maschinen. Wer selbst denkt, scheint das Rennen bereits verloren zu haben. Doch die Gedankenlosigkeit hat ihren Preis. Angesichts der aktuellen Weltlage wird es höchste Zeit, einen Neustart zu wagen. Thinkout ... ermutigt dazu, innezuhalten, eigenständig zu denken und die geistige Trägheit zu überwinden, regt an, vertraute Denkpfade zu verlassen, barrierefrei zu denken und eigene Antworten zu finden, widmet sich prinzipiell unbeantwortbaren Fragen und bietet vielfältige Reflexionsangebote. Neben dem Autor selbst kommen renommierte Expertinnen und Experten sowie beeindruckende Persönlichkeiten aus akademischen, politischen, wirtschaftlichen und öffentlichen Bereichen zu Wort. Und teilen exklusiv ihre biografischen Lektionen und Überzeugungen zu den Denkkonstrukten Menschenbild, Selbstregie, Normalität, Transformation, Komplexität, Leadership und Wertekompass. Thinkout – die Einladung zum mutigen Selbstdenken.
Term-Structure Models
Changing interest rates constitute one of the major risk sources for banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions. Modeling the term-structure movements of interest rates is a challenging task. This volume gives an introduction to the mathematics of term-structure models in continuous time. It includes practical aspects for fixed-income markets such as day-count conventions, duration of coupon-paying bonds and yield curve construction; arbitrage theory; short-rate models; the Heath-Jarrow-Morton methodology; consistent term-structure parametrizations; affine diffusion processes and option pricing with Fourier transform; LIBOR market models; and credit risk. The focus is on a mathematically straightforward but rigorous development of the theory. Students, researchers and practitioners will find this volume very useful. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises, that provides source for homework and exam questions. Readers are expected to be familiar with elementary Itô calculus, basic probability theory, and real and complex analysis.
