Philosophy, Rhetoric, and the End of Knowledge
In this second edition of Steve Fuller's original work Philosophy, Rhetoric, and the End of Knowledge: A New Beginning for Science and Technology Studies, James Collier joins Fuller in developing an updated and accessible version of Fuller's classic volume. The new edition shifts focus slightly to balance the discussions of theory and practice, and the writing style is oriented to advanced students. It addresses the contemporary problems of knowledge to develop the basis for a more publicly accountable science. The resources of social epistemology are deployed to provide a positive agenda of research, teaching, and political action designed to bring out the best in both the ancient disciplin...
Sustaining Language
Can language diversity be sustained on this Earth? Can the resource language be used in a sustainable way? The essays in this volume address language loss in the age of globalization and discuss how language construes our view of Nature and Environment. The volume is also a plea for using an ecolinguistic perspective in school teaching.
Mood Choice in Complement Clauses
The volume investigates various approaches to mood distribution and mood variation in lexically selected complement clauses with special reference to Hungarian data. Its primary aim is to show that semantic factors play a crucial role in mood choice. The analysis focuses on the indicative/non-indicative opposition, the latter category includes the subjunctive, the imperative and the conditional. Critical discussion, revision and elaboration of previous semantic approaches pertaining to mood choice are presented, with particular emphasis on the applicability of the various analyses to mood phenomena in Hungarian. The author proposes two novel hypotheses about mood choice in Hungarian complement clauses.
Systemisches Karrierecoaching
Die moderne Arbeitswelt ist durch eine Zunahme beruflicher Veränderungen und Übergänge gekennzeichnet. Die damit zusammenhängenden Selbstmanagementanforderungen an den Einzelnen und die vielfältige Fragen der Harmonisierung von Beruf, Familie und individueller Selbstverwirklichung machen das Karrierecoaching zu einem Entwicklungsmarkt mit gestiegenen Anforderungen an die Berater.Bei der traditionellen Berufsberatung bleiben die familiären Bindungen bei berufsbiographischen Entscheidungen und die vom sozialen Kontext abhängigen Handlungsmöglichkeiten zumeist unberücksichtigt. Sie zu erkennen und systematisch zu analysieren ist jedoch notwendig, um Verhaltensweisen besser zu verstehen...

Traditions of Systems Theory
The term ‘systems theory’ is used to characterize a set of disparate yet related approaches to fields as varied as information theory, cybernetics, biology, sociology, history, literature, and philosophy. What unites each of these traditions of systems theory is a shared focus on general features of systems and their fundamental importance for diverse areas of life. Yet there are considerable differences among these traditions, and each tradition has developed its own methodologies, journals, and forms of anaylsis. This book explores this terrain and provides an overview of and guide to the traditions of systems theory in their considerable variety. The book draws attention to the traditions of systems theory in their historical development, especially as related to the humanities and social sciences, and shows how from these traditions various contemporary developments have ensued. It provides a guide for strains of thought that are key to understanding 20th century intellectual life in many areas.
Neue Ansätze Zu Linguistischer Evidenz
The evaluation of linguistic theories depends heavily on what kind of data can be regarded as evidence either for or against their hypotheses. The question of what data types linguistic theories use, and which of these types are acknowledged as evidence, is accordingly one of the most fundamental and most widely discussed problems of contemporary linguistics. The aim of this volume is to shed fresh light on this problem by presenting the first findings of a research project. Part I consists of state-of-the-art studies critically analysing current views on the topic. Part II includes case studies which highlight how the conclusions of the state-of-the-art studies may motivate novel and sophis...
