Beiträge zur philosophischen Begründung der Psychologie und der Geisteswissenschaften

"Lovering&nbsp;presents a sophisticated but readable defense of the&nbsp;moral&nbsp;permissibility&nbsp;of recreational drug use.&nbsp; Many authors have argued that&nbsp;laws&nbsp;against drug use are unjust.&nbsp; But&nbsp;Lovering&nbsp;offers persuasive reasons to reject the more basic claim that drug use is&nbsp;wrongful.&nbsp;&nbsp;Academics and laypersons will benefit greatly from his comprehensive and careful analysis."—Douglas Husak, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy (Emeritus), Rutgers University, USA“In&nbsp;On the Moral Right to Get High, Rob&nbsp;Lovering&nbsp;provides an extraordinarily comprehensive and detailed defense of the claim that recreational drug use is morally permissible.&nbsp; After reading this book, few will be able to disagree.”—Peter de Marneffe, Professor of Philosophy, Arizona State University, USA
&nbsp;

Is getting high immoral? &nbsp;In this book, Rob Lovering defends the claim that it is not. &nbsp;More specifically, he argues that recreational drug use (of which getting high is a token) is neither intrinsically, nor generally extrinsically, immoral. &nbsp;In other words, he contends that recreational drug use is neither immoral in and of itself nor generally immoral due to an immoral-making factor with which it may be contingently linked [e.g., harm]. &nbsp;Lovering does so by offering two arguments for recreational drug use’s ultima facie (all things considered) moral permissibility and critiquing twenty-four arguments for its immorality.Meant to be a companion to Lovering's&nbsp;A Moral Defense of Recreational Drug Use (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015), which was written for a general audience, this book is written for an academic—specifically, philosophical—audience and explores recreational drug use in a deeper, more philosophically and empirically rigorous way.Rob Lovering is Professor of Philosophy at City University of New York, USA. His books include&nbsp;God and Evidence: Problems for Theistic Philosophers&nbsp;(2013),&nbsp;A Moral Defense of Recreational Drug Use&nbsp;(2015),&nbsp;A Moral Defense of Prostitution&nbsp;(2021), and&nbsp;The Palgrave Handbook of Philosophy and Psychoactive Drug Use (2024).

On the Moral Right to Get High

Transdisciplinary Management of Ecological and Social Crises

Mathias Schüz

Fundamentals and Perspectives

Transdisciplinary Thinking and Acting

A famous and frequently quoted sentence by Max Weber states: “Interests, not ideas, directly govern the actions of people. However, the ‘worldviews’ created by ‘ideas’ have often determined the paths in which the dynamics of interests propelled action.” Recent sociology, however, has not done justice to this principle. Values and their effects are either assumed to be given (as in the case of Talcott Parsons) or considered entirely irrelevant (as in Rational Choice and System Theory). Extensive empirical research on values has yielded many results but has largely lacked a theoretical foundation, making its findings often contestable. Weber himself provided only unsatisfactory answers regarding the relevance of values: The decision for specific values is a purely individual matter, and there is an irreconcilable struggle between different values.This book comprehensively examines this issue for the first time in sociology and finds a new, constructive, and explanatory solution - drawing on authors such as Immanuel Kant, George H. Mead, and Raymond Boudon. It is utilizing considerations from philosophy, social theory, and empirical social research, as well as incorporating historical struggles for the recognition and enforcement of values. It can be determined that there are fundamental societal values, that their number can be clearly defined, and that there is not necessarily conflict between them, but rather complementarity. With these theses and findings, this book can be regarded as a new sociological standard work. It is also of fundamental importance for students and researchers in many other humanities and social science disciplines.The AuthorDr. Max Haller (Italian and Austrian citizen) was a professor of sociology in Graz from 1985 to 2015 after conducting scientific work at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna and at the University and ZUMA Mannheim. He also taught as a visiting professor at universities in several countries in Europe, the USA, and Africa. His publications have appeared in the most prestigious international sociological journals. He is a member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and is currently researching issues related to migration, citizenship, and multilingualism there. He was a co-founder of the European Sociological Association and the Viennese Sociological Association.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

The Interests of People and Their Social-Political Implementation

Palgrave Philosophy Today

This textbook provides an up to date, accessible introduction to the philosophy of education with a focus on the conceptual and normative questions raised by educational policy and practice. The key concepts explored include learning, teaching, indoctrination, knowledge, equality, intelligence, virtue, and rights. Clarifying the meanings of these terms is vital for educators to be able to explain what they do and why. Such conceptual analysis helps us to address normative questions about what should or should not be done, educationally speaking.&nbsp;
Each chapter firstly examines one key concept which is then connected to a theorised aim of education. The aims considered are rationality (i.e. critical thinking), knowledge, social justice, vocational preparation, flourishing, and political participation (citizenship). These aims of education are all hotly debated, so their strengths and weaknesses are considered. Each chapter concludes with a third section connecting the key concept and aim of education under discussion to an applied example.&nbsp;
The applied examples include religious schools, attainment gaps in education, the educational impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the curriculum, teaching ethics in schools as a form of moral education, and citizenship education. These applied examples are drawn from vital social and political issues within education. By critically engaging with and then building upon extant literature, this book demonstrates how conceptual and normative issues within education have real world implications.&nbsp;
At the end of each chapter, there are pedagogical resources designed to support teachers and students. These include a chapter summary, a list of recommended and further readings and online resources, as well as a list of study and research questions.&nbsp;
This book is essential reading for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the philosophy of education. It is also ideal for use on education theory courses and will be of interest to those studying philosophy or education.

Philosophy of Education

Ted Chiang is one of the most insightful science fiction writers of our time. His writing has garnered high praise, including four Nebula awards, four Hugo awards and the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. His short story, “Story of Your Life,” was the basis of the 2016 film&nbsp;Arrival. This volume, which includes a foreword by Chiang and twenty-one short essays by philosophers, analyzes the philosophical significance of Chiang’s popular science fiction. These essays discuss how Chiang’s stories engage with age-old and contemporary philosophical questions pertaining to free will, God, technology, existentialism, beauty, procreation, contradictions, time, human intelligence, alien intelligence, and artificial intelligence. This volume probes terrain that should be of interest to experts in philosophy, while still being accessible to a general audience interested in science fiction. These essays, like Ted Chiang’s writing, demonstrate how excellent science fiction can help us to think about the world and our place in it. David&nbsp;Friedell&nbsp;is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Union College (Schenectady, NY). His work has appeared in journals including&nbsp;Philosophical Studies, Analysis, and&nbsp;The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism.

The Philosophy of Ted Chiang

The first communication between human beings, the one between the newborn and the mother, happens through touch. Strangely this first way of relating to each other&nbsp; has barely been considered by our education and our culture, which have favoured sight to the detriment of touch. And yet touching and being touched means experiencing ourselves as living beings. For lack of such a touch, we do not perceive the limits nor the sensitive potential of our bodies. Then we remain immersed in a natural or a cultural universe, incapable of reaching our own individuation and of knowing our fundamental difference from the&nbsp; other(s).Desire, in particular sexuate desire, is a call for touching one another anew. But this touch&nbsp; requires us to have gained our autonomy and to be able to open up to and&nbsp; commune with the other as transcendent to ourselves while staying&nbsp; in ourselves. This book unveils and explores how touch can act as a basic living mediation in love and, more generally, in our comprehensive individual and col-lective human becoming.It also considers how touch can contribute to founding&nbsp; a culture respectful of difference(s) instead of subjecting them to an ideal of same-ness. We need touch as mediation to fulfil our humanity and to build a truly human thinking and world.&nbsp; Luce Irigaray&nbsp;is a retired director of research in philosophy at the Centre National de la Recherche scientifique (C.N.R.S.), Paris. She has doctorates in philosophy ( 1974), in linguistics (1968) and in philosophy and literature(1955). She is trained in psychoanalysis and in yoga. She has written more than thirty books translated in various languages. She has also co-edited three books composed of texts by early career researchers as part of a long term undertaking to give birth to a new human being and construct a new world.

The Mediation of Touch

Suhrkamp Studienbibliothek

Im Juni 2012 feiern wir nicht nur den 300. Geburtstag von Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), des neben Kant und Locke vielleicht wichtigsten Philosophen der Neuzeit. Es jährt sich auch das Erscheinen des politischen Hauptwerkes Rousseaus: »Vom Gesellschaftsvertrag oder Prinzipien des Staatsrechts« (»Du Contrat Social ou Principes du Droit Politique«), das 1762 in Amsterdam erschien und sogleich verboten wurde. Der »Gesellschaftsvertrag« gehört zu den wirkmächtigsten Texten der Aufklärung und wird vielfach als Gründungstext moderner Demokratietheorien und Wegbereiter der Französischen Revolution gesehen. Seine berühmten Grundideen sind: Die menschliche Gemeinschaft beruht auf einem Vertrag, dessen Voraussetzung der sogenannte Gemeinwille ist (»volonté générale«). Dieser ist mehr als die Summe der Einzelinteressen, sondern zielt auf das Wohl aller und ist unfehlbar. Durch den Vertrag werden die Bürger als Adressaten der Gesetze zugleich deren Autoren. Das ist die Geburtsstunde der Volkssouveränität! Der Band bringt Rousseaus Text in durchgesehener Übersetzung. Der Kommentar von Robin Celikates erschließt den Text historisch und systematisch und beleuchtet die enorme Wirkungsgeschichte, die seit Erscheinen des Textes vor 250 Jahren bis in die Gegenwart ungebrochen ist.

Lernen aus der Geschichte: die unfassbare Dummheit der Menschheit

Homo sapiens? Wohl eher nicht. Wie kann es sein, dass eine an sich intelligente Spezies wie der Mensch wieder und wieder entsetzlich dumme Entscheidungen trifft? Wie können wir wissentlich Kriege anzetteln, den Planeten zerstören und so sinnlos zerstörerische Dinge wie Computerviren in die Welt setzen?
All diese Fragen haben Autor Stefan Engeseth schon als Kind beschäftigt und ihm Ärger mit seinen Lehrern eingehandelt. In diesem Buch setzt er sich mit der Dummheit der Menschheit auseinander - und damit, wie wir sie möglicherweise zu unserem Vorteil nutzen können.

- Wie wir durch Recycling unserer Dummheit die Welt retten
- Kritisches Denken ist gefragt: Wir können es uns nicht mehr leisten, dumm zu sein
- Entscheidungen treffen für eine bessere Zukunft: Was wir besser machen müssen
- Interviews mit Expert:innen zu den selbstverursachten Problemen der Menschheit
- Ein kluges Sachbuch mit Lösungsansätzen für einen gesellschaftlichen Wandel

Warum wir es uns nicht länger leisten können, dumm zu sein

Haben wir diesen Planeten wirklich verdient? Wie können wir Kinder in der Zukunft, die sie erschaffen werden, ausbilden? Warum ist die Menschheit effektiver darin, Schlechtes zu tun als Gutes? Diesen und weiteren Fragen geht Stefan Engeseth in diesem Buch auf den Grund - gemeinsam mit Expertinnen und Experten, die es wissen müssen. Und kommt dabei zu einem Schluss: Wir können es uns auf gar keinen Fall leisten, weiterhin dumme Entscheidungen zu treffen!
Wie also den Homo Stupidus wieder in einen Homo Sapiens umwandeln? Oder die Dummheit nutzen, um die Welt zu retten? Trotz düsterer Wolken am Horizont: Dieses Buch bietet viele positive Denkanstöße und entwirft Szenarien für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung der Menschheit.

The Palgrave Handbook of the Philosophy of Humour gathers the best scholars in this now well-established field in order to fill a significant lacuna: to provide an accurate explanation of philosophers’ attitudes toward humour as an umbrella term, both historically and thematically. To that purpose, it addresses not only humour, but also laughter and the comical, as well as related terms, such as smiling, wit, jokes, caricature, irony and stand-up comedy. &nbsp; The historic part of the Handbook presents the main philosophers and the major philosophic schools which have taken humour seriously, clarifying the ways in which it was interpreted through various periods in Western history, and engaging with additional spiritual traditions and diverse cultures in which humour was significant. &nbsp; The thematic part is further divided into three sections. Section 1 (Humour and Related Terms) disambiguates the main notions which are associated with humour as an umbrella term, and emphasizes their role in philosophy. Section 2 (Understanding Humour) explores how humour has been understood, approaching it through various lenses. Finally, Section 3 (Humour, Ethics, and the Human Condition) addresses the main questions in the ethics of humour, such as its capacity to offend and its potential to be virtuous, and the strong ties between humour and the human predicament. &nbsp; This Handbook is essential reading for all scholars, researchers, and advanced students of the philosophy of humour and of humour studies. It is also of interest to scholars in related fields including philosophical psychology, ethics, and the history of philosophy.Lydia Amir teaches at the Department of Philosophy at Tufts University, USA. In addition to publications in other fields, her monographs on humour include Humor and the Good Life in Modern Philosophy: Shaftesbury, Hamann, Kierkegaard (2014), Philosophy, Humor, and the Human Condition: Taking Ridicule Seriously (2019), and The Legacy of Nietzsche’s Philosophy of Laughter: Bataille, Deleuze, and Rosset (2021). She serves as President of the International Association for the Philosophy of Humor, which she founded ten years ago.

The Palgrave Handbook of the Philosophy of Humour

Despite the wide-ranging differences in people’s moral perspectives, there is near universal agreement that the world is generally better off when people allow morality to dictate their actions. But what if this view is wrong? What if the very thing that most people think is key to improving human relations is actually a primary contributor to unnecessary suffering and strife? In this book, Stephen G. Morris uses the latest empirical evidence to argue that eliminating all vestiges of morality from our lives (a position known as moral abolitionism) would likely yield benefits on both an individual and a societal level. Though the primary aim is to build a pragmatic case for why we ought to dispense with morality, Morris first argues that there are theoretical reasons for rejecting morality since we lack compelling arguments for the existence of moral facts. From there, he cites extensive evidence suggesting that morality does more harm than good through its negative influence on violence, politics, and personal relationships. Following a discussion of how we have at our disposal the necessary resources (i.e., empathy, prudential self-interest, and reason) to benefit humanity in a world without morality, Morris concludes by offering some specific steps societies could take to help eliminate morality’s corrupting influence and to improve human relations.
