Mapping Mainstream Economics
Mapping Mainstream Economics: Genealogical Foundations of Alternativity seeks to establish a definition of the mainstream economics, and by extension the alternatives to it, by adopting a genealogical approach: tracing the methodological development of the economic mainstream through its ancestry, which allows for a definition of the mainstream that is separate from politically charged categories or gridlocked academic arguments between received schools of thought. The book follows the evolution of the economic mainstream through four major transformations of the discipline: from political to analytical economics, debates around a logical empiricist economics, the consolidation of neoclassic...
A New Economic Anthropology
Traditionally economic anthropology has been studied by sociologists, anthropologists, and philosophers seeking to highlight the social foundations of economic action. Meanwhile, anthropological questions have remained largely untreated in economics, despite the prominence given to the individual in microeconomics. And there is very little in the way of dialogue between the two sides. This book argues for a new economic anthropology which goes beyond the conflict of economics and anthropology to show the complementarity of the two approaches. Economics needs to go beyond the stage of homo oeconomicus and be open to broader ideas about the person. Equally, anthropology can be enriched through...
Politische Partizipation und bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen – 'Narrative' der Zukunft / Political Participation and Universal Basic Income – 'Narratives' of the Future
Der vorliegende Band basiert auf der Arbeit des Large FRIBIS Teams Participation and UBI – 'Narratives' of the Future (PartUBI), das wie alle FRIBIS Teams aus einem wissenschaftlichen und einem aktivistischen Teil besteht: Das interdisziplinäre Research Team untersucht aus kulturphilosophischer sowie kulturpoetologischer Perspektive das Verhältnis zwischen bedingungslosem Grundeinkommen und politischer Partizipation, wie es sich vor allem im Kontext von 'Zukunftsnarrativen' darstellt. Das Transfer Team setzt sich politisch für die Einführung eines BGEs ein und versteht dieses zugleich als partizipativen Hebel für die Bürgerinnen und Bürger, um sich stärker an demokratischen Prozessen zu beteiligen. Dabei ergeben sich nicht zuletzt auch Brückenschläge zu einer politisch engagierten (Theorie der) bildenden Kunst.
Ethik der Gegenwart
Die Mitte des Bandes bildet die Frage: „Was ist Ethik?“ Die Antwort auf die Frage fordert ein Verständnis derselben, das nicht ohne weiteres vorausgesetzt werden kann. Die hier versammelten Essais kommen dieser Forderung ein Stück weit nach; sie bereiten ein Verständnis der Frage vor, indem sie zu erörtern versuchen, von woher sich die Frage in der Gegenwart stellt.

Behold, My Mother and My Brethren!
In this Kierkegaardian reading of Mark's Gospel two of the most creative and passionate witnesses of Christ's gospel are brought together to mutually inform its superlative wonder. Both writers winsomely revealed the nature of human existence in sin, and the new life Jesus lived and made possible for all, as the paradoxical "God-man." They highlighted "the single individual" against the frenzied crowd "in untruth"--driven by despair whether conscious or unconscious--and vulnerable to enticing publicity and deceptive propaganda. The entrenched societal systems unjustly determined for time and eternity who God favored or disfavored. In dramatic contrast, Mark and Kierkegaard both elucidated Go...
Søren Kierkegaard
This book is a succinct guide to Søren Kierkegaard’s contribution to educational thought. Kierkegaard is not usually known as an educational thinker, but the book shows how his key notions and ideas are nevertheless highly relevant to educational theory and practice. It places them within the context of Kierkegaard’s philosophy and the philosophy of his time, while also exploring their significance to issues of contemporary concern, like the question of how far education should aim at fostering useful skills or support more ambitious goals. The central topics are Kierkegaard’s diagnosis of the limitations of objective knowledge and his corresponding emphasis on know-how, personal appropriation and subjective attitude; his analysis of more or less successful forms of self-realization; his ideas about fostering personal development through “indirect communication” and dialogue; and the elements, strengths and shortcomings of the ideal of self-cultivation (German Bildung).
Sickness Unto Death
Man is spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self? The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation [which accounts for it] that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but [consists in the fact] that the relation relates itself to its own self. Man is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity; in short, it is a synthesis.
