Questions
How many questions do we ask each day? Why do we ask them in the first place? Do we always ask because we're trying to learn something? Or are there some questions we don't expect to have answered - and some questions that simply can't be answered at all? What do our questions tell us about ourselves? Do they define who we are? Who asked the world's first question? Can anyone answer all these questions? Is that a stupid question, or is it a really good one? And what does Pia Lauritzen, Aarhus University's questioner-in-chief, think of all of this?

Questions
Questions: Between Identity and Difference is in many ways a curious book. It is a scholarly book, but tests the boundaries of traditional academic methods. It is a philosophical book, but bases its arguments on observational studies in classrooms where Danish, Russian, Spanish, and Chinese schoolchildren are taught in their native languages. It is a demanding book, one that assumes its readers think for themselves. Yes it is also a generous book, which draws on the author's own experience in researching and exploring what it means to be human across a variety of thoughts and behavioural patterns.
Questions
A short but engaging look at how questions shape our thinking. Why do we ask questions? In Questions, Pia Lauritzen explores the philosophy behind questions and probes how they function as both a development tool and a bridge to understanding. She speculates that the question is the essential characteristic that distinguishes human beings from animals and that it is the key to understanding why we think and act as we do. Basic human phenomena like surprise and doubt, ignorance and curiosity–which all articulate a questioning mode of dealing with the world–may well be the reason why human beings developed language. Yet the diverse ways that different languages and cultures treat questions reflects and reinforces crucial cultural differences. Ultimately, Lauritzen argues, the question is the key to understanding the inner logic that links all major themes in the history of Western philosophy. In Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars deliver 60-page reflections on key concepts. These books present unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.
Connectedness
Improve talent retention and employee productivity by encouraging connectedness in your firm In The Human Touch, British business journalist and management theorist Des Dearlove delivers an insightful and practical discussion of how firms can build meaningful and authentic connections with their employees, encouraging productivity, improving talent retention, and creating an enduring competitive advantage. You’ll find out why the latest peer-reviewed research lends support to the notion that it is the nature of interpersonal environments – and not compensation – that many employees consider to be the most impactful when they’re deciding whether to exit a job. In the book, you’ll: E...
Comparative Legal Metrics
The trend of measuring performances is global and pervasive. We all live in quantified societies, in which performances in an ever-growing array of fields–from education to health, work to credit, justice to consumption–are assessed and governed through quantitative techniques. While the disruption brought by the quantitative turn has been widely studied by social scientists, legal research on the issue is minimal. This book aims to fill the gap. The essays herein collected explore how performance measurements interact with the law in different regions and sectors, which legal effects they produce, and for whose benefit.
Sporgsmal
Ofte forklarer vi forskelle mellem mennesker med begrebet kultur. Men det forklarer ikke, hvorfor mennesker forstar sig selv som nogen, der adskiller sig fra nogen andre. Det gor derimod den model for sporgsmalets struktur, der introduceres i denne bog.Sporgsmal - mellem identitet og differens er pa mange mader en mAerkvAerdig bog. Den er videnskabelig, men bevAeger sig pa kanten af traditionelle videnskabelige metoder. Den er filosofisk, men bygger sine argumenter pa observationsstudier af skoleklasser, hvor kinesiske, russiske, spanske og danske born undervises pa deres modersmal. Det er en krAevende bog, der forudsAetter, at lAeseren tAenker selv. Men det er ogsa en gavmild bog, der trAekker pa forfatterens egne erfaringer i udforskningen af, hvad det vil sige at vAere menneske pa tvAers af forskellige tanke- og handlemonstre.Pia Lauritzen er drevet af en dyb fascination af sporgsmal. I denne bog kombinerer hun tysk fAenomenologi med sociolingvistiske studier af, hvorfor og hvordan sporgsmal virker mellem mennesker.
Secular Bodies, Affects and Emotions
Taking its cue from the study of 'lived religion', Secular Bodies, Affects and Emotions shows how the idea of a secular public is equally marked by a display and cultivation of affect and emotions. Whereas it is widely agreed that religion is often saturated by emotion, the secular is usually treated as a neutral background serving as the domain of public, rational deliberation. This book demonstrates that secularity and secularism are also upheld by bodily practices and emotional attachments. Drawing on empirical case studies, this is the first book to ask and explore whether a secular body exists. Building on the work of Talal Asad, the book argues that the secular is not an absence of religion, but a positive entity that comes about through its co-constitutive relationship with religion. And, once we attune ourselves to recognizing its operations as grammar which structures social practice, writing an anthropology of the secular could become a new possibility.

Spørgsmål
Hvor mange spørgsmål stiller vi mon om dagen? Hvorfor spørger vi overhovedet? Er det altid for at blive klogere? Eller er der nogle spørgsmål, som vi ikke forventer noget svar på - og nogle, som måske slet ikke kan besvares? Hvad siger vores spørgsmål om os selv? Hvorfor spørger vi om dit og ikke dat? Definerer vores spørgsmål, hvem vi er? Hvem stillede verdens første spørgsmål? Kan nogen overhovedet svare på alle de spørgsmål? Er det et dumt spørgsmål? Eller faktisk et rigtig godt et af slagsen? Hvad siger Pia Lauritzen, Aarhus Universitets egen Spørge-Jørgen?
