Laser-based Investigation of Gas and Solid Fuel Combustion under Oxy-Fuel Atmosphere
Oxy-fuel combustion has the potential to reduce the atmospheric CO2-emissions of fossil fuel power plants by burning gaseous or solid fuels under an atmosphere of carbon dioxide and oxygen. The combustion under oxy-fuel operating conditions, however, is accompanied by major changes in the combustion behavior. The underlying chemical and physical processes are complex and highly coupled, which impedes investigations and modeling. Since tactile and most of the optical measurement techniques fail under the sensitive and simultaneously harsh environments of oxy-fuel combustion, an optical in-situ measurement system based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy is developed in this work.

Kant's Transcendental Deduction and the Theory of Apperception
This volume examines (1) the philosophical sources of the Kantian concepts "apperception" and "self-consciousness", (2) the historical development of the theories of apperception and deduction of categories within the pre-critical period, (3) the structure and content of A- as well as B-deduction of categories, and finally (4) the Kantian (and non-Kantian) meaning of "apperception" and "self-consciousness".
Platonism
The clean separation between manifold phenomena and a systematic order that prevails in them is a basic feature of the rational-scientific orientation system. The first authoritative formulation of this premise is found in Plato. His discussion of constitutive forms of world events has initiated a broad development in the history of philosophy, which is also effective today in the preference for reason-guided analyses of often confusing circumstances. The authors of this volume address the lasting relevance of this idea within two interrelated areas of research, namely Plato scholarship and contemporary Platonism. Of particular interest is the relationship between Plato and Wittgenstein. Following this overall idea, this volume is divided into three sections: Plato scholarship, Platonism, and Plato and Wittgenstein. As the contributions show, Platonism proves to be not only a purely historical-exegetical field of research but rather a fruitful stimulus for contemporary discussions on logical, linguistic, and social topics.
Limits of Intelligibility
The chapters in this volume investigate the question of where, and in what sense, the bounds of intelligible thought, knowledge, and speech are to be drawn. Is there a way in which we are limited in what we think, know, and say? And if so, does this mean that we are constrained—that there is something beyond the ken of human intelligibility of which we fall short? Or is there another way to think about these limits of intelligibility—namely, as conditions of our meaning and knowing anything, beyond which there is no specifiable thing we cannot do? These issues feature prominently in the writings of Kant and Wittgenstein who each engaged with them in unique and striking ways. Their though...
Die Aufklärung der Aufklärung
Gotthold Ephraim Lessings doppelte Provokation als schärfster Kritiker des Christentums und zugleich Widersacher dieser Kritik. Hannes Kerbers Studie erneuert den epochalen Streit zwischen Aufklärung und Christentum. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Doppelrolle Gotthold Ephraim Lessings. Denn der Dichter und Philosoph veröffentlichte mit den "Fragmenten eines Ungenannten" nicht nur die schärfste jemals in deutscher Sprache vorgebrachte Kritik an der Bibel und der biblischen Religion, sondern er widersprach dieser Kritik zugleich im Namen einer rücksichtslosen Orthodoxie. Lessings doppelte Provokation findet ihren publizistischen Niederschlag im "Fragmentenstreit", der philosophisch vielleicht anspruchsvollsten, theologisch jedenfalls folgenschwersten Kontroverse im Deutschland des 18. Jahrhunderts. In Kerbers sorgfältigen Interpretationen von Lessings Schriften und der Schriften seiner Gegner zeigt sich der Fragmentenstreit als eine Aufklärung der Aufklärung, die die Herausforderung des Christentums in ihrer ganzen Radikalität sichtbar macht.
