The Field of 'Between'
Cognitive science has reached a peak in the past few decades. This science conceives of mental life as consisting of bundles of information that can be quantified and digitally transmitted: a revolution in the history of humanity. However, an innovation also brings with it new problems. Whether (and how) present-day philosophy will come to terms with the rapid progress of cognitive science depends on our ability to reflect on the intersection of the two disciplines. In this book, the "Between" is an interactive zone of intermediating different ways of thinking, systems, and disciplines.
Opfer, Gabe, Zeit und Schuld(en)
Zeit ist Geld und Geld ist Zeit. Das erstaunt, weil der Mensch sprachlich diese Gleichsetzung nicht anderen weltlichen Dingen sinnvoll zukommen lässt, obwohl in allen Dingen die Zeit mitgängig ist. Kein Ding der Welt kann ohne Zeit gedacht werden. Eine Welt ohne Zeit ist weder denkbar noch erlebbar. Und eine Welt ohne Geld? Sie ist zwar denkbar, doch können wir Geld nicht einfach vergessen, da es auch in seiner Nichtgeltung seinen Machtanspruch behält. Das Faszinosum des Geldes und auch die Utopie seiner Negation drängen in einer immer komplexer werdenden Welt nach einer philosophischen Klärung.
Philosophie des Erlebens - Robert REININGER
Robert REININGER (18691955), ein humanistischer Denker, Ordinarius für Philosophie der Universität Wien, wurde eine Zeit lang quasi "vergessen". Im Zeitalter der Globalisierung erweckt seine Philosophie des "Erlebens einer tiefgründigen Wahrheit" zunehmendes Interesse bei einem breiten Publikum. Philosophie lebt nicht nur durch Reflexionen eines spekulativen Geistes. Vielmehr lebt sie durch den intellektuellen actus des ganzen Leibes und Geistes. Dieses Sammelwerk, das aus einem Gedenksymposium für REININGER zu seinem 150. Geburtstag an der Universität Wien hervorgeht, eröffnet eine neue Dimension der Philosophie als actus intellectualis, die für denkend-handelnde Menschen in einer humanistischen Welt offensteht.
A New Cultural Economy
""The age of copyright and intellectual property has reached its expiration date" - a development that already manifested itself in the technical fundamentals of the Internet has reared its head in the actual practices of a young generation of users and is bringing forth a new economy of sharing that clever business people are now taking to the next conceptual lever: a new cultural economy. With this provocative formulation, Ars Electronica 2008 is placing one of the core issues of modern knowledge-based society at the focal point of this year's festival program. Artists, theorists and experienced network nomads elaborate on these phenomena that now characterize our culture of everyday life: from angst-inducing scenarios of the annulment of intellectual property rights all the way to kicking back and going with the global information flow. So then - what status can intellectual property still have in an open knowledge-based society? And who's responsible for protecting intellectual property and establishing practicable rules?"--BOOK JACKET.
Conservation Biological Control
This volume is a comprehensive treatment of how the principles of ecology and conservation biology can be used to maximize biological control. Conservation Biological Control presents various means to modify or manipulate the environment to enhance the activities of natural enemies of pests. It establishes a conceptual link between ecology and the agricultural use of agents for biological control, and discusses both theoretical issues as well as practical management concerns. Certain to be interesting to ecologists and entomologists, this volume will also appeal to scientists, faculty, researchers and students interested in pest management, horticulture, plant sciences, and agriculture. - Contains chapters by an international team of leading authorities - Establishes a conceptual link between ecology and the agricultural use of agents for biological control - Discusses both theoretical issues as well as practical management concerns - Provides specific examples of how conservation principles are used to maximize the biological control of pests
Taming the Wild Grape
This book places grapes in the context of their family, the Vitaceae. It begins by focusing on the relationship of the family to other angiosperms and the interrelationships and characteristics of its genera. Two chapters emphasize the structure and development of its major vegetative and reproductive characteristics. Keys and illustrated descriptions for 19 North American species including 10 Vitis are provided. The three chapters on Vitis begin with a brief history of grape growing, with emphasis on North America. There is an illustrated life history of grape, following the two-year cycle from bud initiation to fruit maturity. The final chapter discusses the history of grapevine identification in North America, concluding with descriptions and illustrations of 30 important North American cold climate cultivars. The book is a general resource for understanding the growth, development, life history, and identification of grapes and the Vitaceae.
