Practical Realist Philosophy of Science
The Estonian philosopher of science Rein Vihalemm (1938–2015) left two prominent and fruitful philosophical-methodological legacies that continue to captivate philosophers of science: a methodological distinction of scientific disciplines and the practical realist philosophy of science. Edited by Ave Mets, Endla Lõhkivi, Peeter Müürsepp, and Jaana Eigi-Watkin, Practical Realist Philosophy of Science: Reflecting on Rein Vihalemm's Ideas explores some of these fruits that have sprung from philosophy of science, and the applications of those approaches through three main ideas: (back)grounds of the practical approach, metaphysics of practices, and special sciences. The first part features ...
Naturwissenschaftshermeneutik
Was heißt es, die Naturwissenschaften zu verstehen? Welche Hindernisse sind zu überwinden, wenn Laien sich einen Begriff von den Naturwissenschaften machen wollen? Welche Bildungsziele verbinden sich mit einer Aufklärung über die Natur der Naturwissenschaften? Diese Fragen sucht der Band Naturwissenschaftshermeneutik anhand einer vergleichenden historisch-kritischen Analyse zu klären. Dabei geht es um die wechselseitige Befruchtung naturwissenschaftlichen und hermeneutischen Denkens seit der zweiten wissenschaftlichen Revolution um 1800 bis heute. Reinhard Schulz klassifiziert diese historischen Wechselwirkungen als vier verschiedene Verstehensvollzüge, die von den Naturwissenschaften zwar nach und nach verdrängt, durch die hermeneutische Analyse der materiellen Kultur der Naturwissenschaften aber wiedererinnert und reflektiert werden können. Eine Schlüsselrolle spielt dabei das Experiment und der Stilbegriff. Die Einübung in den experimentellen Untersuchungsstil der Naturwissenschaften führt zum Verstehen ihres Denkstils.

In This Modern Age
In This Modern Age: Medieval Studies in Honor of Paul Edward Dutton is a collection of fourteen essays by scholars of the Carolingian era specializing in history, art history, and literature. The volume is divided into five sections, which treat early medieval Latin literary and historiographical culture, images and objects, interpretations of natural phenomena, and the subject of nostalgia. Reflecting Dutton's pathbreaking work, the contributions all evince the great impact of his teaching and erudition over the past thirty years since the publication of his seminal books Carolingian Civilization: A Reader (1993), The Politics of Dreaming in the Carolingian Empire (1994), The Poetry and Pai...
Cognitive Biology
Providing a new conceptual scaffold for further research in biology and cognition, this book introduces the new field of Cognitive Biology: a systems biology approach showing that further progress in this field will depend on a deep recognition of developmental processes, as well as on the consideration of the developed organism as an agent able to modify and control its surrounding environment. The role of cognition, the means through which the organism is able to cope with its environment, cannot be underestimated. In particular, it is shown that this activity is grounded on a theory of information based on Bayesian probabilities. The organism is considered as a cybernetic system able to i...
Self-Organization and Dissipative Structures
The contributions to this volume attempt to apply different aspects of Ilya Prigogine's Nobel-prize-winning work on dissipative structures to nonchemical systems as a way of linking the natural and social sciences. They address both the mathematical methods for description of pattern and form as they evolve in biological systems and the mechanisms of the evolution of social systems, containing many variables responding to subjective, qualitative stimuli. The mathematical modeling of human systems, especially those far from thermodynamic equilibrium, must involve both chance and determinism, aspects both quantitative and qualitative. Such systems (and the physical states of matter which they ...
Information, Natural Law, and the Self-Assembly of Rhythmic Movement
Originally published in 1987, the introduction states: "the authors have successfully accomplished their program – to explain, based on physical representations, the observed relations among various parameters of wrist-pendulum oscillations. Thereby a set of new ideas and concepts, including those developed recently by the scientific school to which the authors belong, are introduced to biology. These concepts are closely related to the experimental data. This accomplishment makes the book especially attractive and demonstrates once more the productivity of applying physics to biology." "Clear language, simple figures, and physical examples illuminate rather complicated problems. These att...
