Digital Humanism
This open access book deals with cultural and philosophical aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) and pleads for a “digital humanism”. This term is beginning to be en vogue everywhere. Due to a growing discontentment with the way digitalization is being used in the world, particularly formulated by former heroes of Internet, social media and search engine companies, philosophical as well as industrial thought leaders begin to plead for a humane use of digital tools. Yet the term “digital humanism” is a particular terminology that lacks a sound conceptual and philosophical basis and needs clarification still – and this gap is exactly filled by this book. It propagates a vision of ...
Verfallssymptome Deutschlands
Deutschland schläft seit 14 Jahren. Dieser Schlaf wurde mehr oder weniger von der politischen Elite, namentlich Angela Merkel und den durch ihr Verhalten geprägten sozialen, ökonomischen und politischen Eliten zelebriert. Sie wurde als alternativlos gepriesen und es wurde ein Hype um sie gemacht. Sie hat dem Volk Valium verabreicht und die Probleme der Gesellschaft bewusst unter den Teppich gekehrt. Dies betrifft nicht nur die Person von Angela Merkel, sondern vor allem die gesamte Berliner Republik, die sich in eine Arche eingekapselt hat. Die Verfallssymptome Deutschlands lassen sich aus dem Ausland mehr denn je erkennen, und zwar in allen Bereichen. Die Zunahme von Gewalt, die Verfehlu...
The Explainability of Experience
This book reconstructs Spinoza's theory of the human mind against the backdrop of the twofold notion that subjective experience is explainable and that its successful explanation is of ethical relevance, because it makes us wiser, freer, and happier. Doing so, the book defends a realist rationalist interpretation of Spinoza's approach which does not entail commitment to an ontological reduction of subjective experience to mere intelligibility. In contrast to a long-standing tradition of Hegelian reading of Spinoza's Ethics, it thus defends the notion that the experience of finite subjects is fully real.

Lucid Dreaming Made Easy. Your Quick-Access Guide to Lucid Dreams
Pre-University Paper from the year 2011 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: Let us make a thought experiment: We assume that the average life span of a citizen is around eighty years.

A fact that is anything but a mystery emerges: we doze around somewhere between twenty and twenty-five years of our life! In a dream there are no laws of physics, no rules. There is nothing impossible in a dream! The fascination induced by the idea of freedom that can be lived by one in a lucid dream led me to choosing this topic for my study.

Scheduled Castes and The Access to Education. How Fair is India?
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Sociology - Social System and Social Structure, grade: 19/20, Aarhus School of Business, course: Education Civique / Sociale, language: English, abstract: In this paper, I try to analyse the fairness of Scheduled Classes’ access to education. The paper starts with giving some introductive information about the cast system. Putting together the findings of several academic articles, different factors are then discussed such as the literacy level and school attendance of Dalit Children, the discriminative behaviours they face, some other important variables, the governmental initiatives and the discrimination on the labour market. It appears clearly that caste membership is still an important discriminative factor with regards to Dalit children’s access to education.
