One of our most influential political theorists offers a boundary-breaking--and liberating--perspective on the meaning of life in the internet age Human beings have taken one thing for granted since our earliest days: we are bodily creatures dealing with one another on a face-to-face basis. The internet has shattered this fundamental feature of human existence. We are suddenly living our lives in two worlds at once--shifting endlessly from virtual to physical reality as we reach out to others. Worse yet, we are developing different personal identities in our two worlds. We say and do things in virtual reality that flatly contradict our face-to-face commitments to family, friends, and fellow-...

Das Buch befasst sich mit dem Übergang "Schule-Hochschule" und wird von Andrea Frank (Bielefeld), Dennis Mocigemba (Freiburg) & Charlotte Zwiauer (Wien) herausgegeben. Die Ausgabe deckt mit elf Beiträgen ein breites Themenspektrum mit unterschiedlichen Perspektiven, inhaltlichen Fragestellungen und methodischen Zugängen zum Thema "Übergang Schule-Hochschule" ab. Die Fülle an nachahmenswerten Maßnahmen zur Gestaltung des Übergangs ist nicht nur imposant, sondern verweist darauf, dass die Integration von Einzelmaßnahmen zu einem sinnvollen Gesamtkonzept für Hochschulen eine große institutionelle Herausforderung darstellt. Mit der Auswahl und Zusammenstellung der Beiträge wird einerseits zu weiteren interessanten wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen der Übergänge von der Schule an die Hochschulen angeregt, andererseits sollen die Beispiele aus der Praxis zur Nachahmung oder Modifikation eigener Maßnahmen inspirieren.
