Elements in the Philosophy of Biology

Baedke J: The Organism

The Organism

Zivilrecht und Methode in der Bonner Republik

Josef Esser

Independently published

What if loneliness isn't a feeling but a business model? You've been told the cure is simple: go out more, join a club, download another app, learn to love yourself. "The Loneliness Economy" argues that this advice is a quiet act of misdirection. Modern isolation is not a personal failing. It is a predictable, engineered, and extraordinarily profitable outcome of the way we built the modern world. In January 2018 Britain appointed a Minister for Loneliness. By 2023 the U.S. Surgeon General and the World Health Organization had declared it a public-health emergency. Loneliness has crossed from private sadness into public infrastructure - and a vast industry now profits from the vacuum where community used to stand. Ranging across economics, sociology, and philosophy - from Polanyi and Durkheim to Putnam, Sandel, Klinenberg, and the latest data on social connection - this short, sharp book makes an unsettling case: markets cannot produce belonging, so they sell its synthetic substitutes instead. Recognition replaces significance. Networks replace communities. The signal of being needed is manufactured and leased back to us, one subscription at a time. Inside, you'll discover: - Why the most hyper-connected cities report the highest isolation on record - The difference between being "recognized" and being "needed" - and why it quietly decides your wellbeing - How "machine customers" and the attention economy make the un-optimized human obsolete &gt;This is not a self-help book. It won't soothe you. It hands you a colder, more useful tool: the truth about how your isolation became someone else's revenue - and the one question that can begin to undo it. Where, and for whom, do you still matter?

But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent.

How Humans Tried, Failed, Succeeded, and Built Our World

Lost Worlds

Wiedererkennen ist für Systeme des Perzipierens die primäre Funktion. Dazu dienen neurale Muster, die überdies erinnerbare Erfahrungen ordnen und im Hinblick auf aktuell verlangte, angemessene Reaktionen erschliessen. Vor etwa 2,5 Millionen Jahren entwickelte sich, wohl kongenial mit dem Produzieren von Werkzeugen, bei Homininen ein kategorial neuer Modus: sprechbewusstes Perzipieren. Der Modus ¿sprechbewusst¿ zeitigt grosse Konsequenzen: Er dissoziiert die sensobasiert-holistischen Perzepte der Realität in analytische Narrative; er erlaubt, unabhängig von aktuellen Perzepten zu erinnern, zu planen und sich nicht nur 'Dinge' vorzustellen, sondern neu auch 'Sachverhalte' zu denken; er konstituiert soziale 'Welten'; er ermöglicht die Teilhabe an Erfahrungen und Erinnerungen anderer, was zu einem kollektiven Schatz an Wissen führt. Eine wichtige Einsicht: Verbalisiert-bewusstes Perzipieren alias perzeptives Sprechen entwickelte&nbsp;sich nicht, um ein Bedürfnis nach Kommunikation zu befriedigen, sondern primär, um Lebewesen in ihren Bemühungen zu überleben zu unterstützen.

Wie der Mensch dazu kam, Dinge nicht zu sehen

Perzeptives Sprechen

Xenophon

The Library of Alexandria

Have you ever wondered why some nations thrive through commerce and peace while others collapse under the crushing financial weight of endless conflict?

In Ways and Means, the legendary ancient Greek historian, philosopher, and military commander Xenophon delivers a profoundly pragmatic treatise on economic revitalization. Written during a period of severe financial crisis in Athens, this work represents a radical departure from the traditional ancient Greek mindset that viewed warfare and tribute as the primary methods of state enrichment. Instead, Xenophon proposes a bold, peaceful economic policy centered on innovation, infrastructure, and free enterprise.

Recognizing that a desperate population cannot maintain a stable democracy, Xenophon meticulously outlines a comprehensive recovery plan. He advocates for attracting foreign entrepreneurs and merchants to boost the local economy, modernizing the state's approach to maritime trade, and establishing publicly owned infrastructure to generate passive civic income. Most famously, he details a strategic plan to monopolize and expand the silver mines of Laurion, transforming a natural resource into an engine of limitless economic growth.

Far more than a simple historical document, Ways and Means is one of the earliest known texts on political economy. It challenges modern readers to reflect on the true drivers of wealth, the importance of welcoming foreign talent, and the undeniable profitability of peace. Whether you are a student of classical history, an entrepreneur, or an executive interested in the origins of economic strategy, this book provides invaluable lessons that have survived the test of time.

What You Will Discover in This Classic Economic Guide:The Foundations of Economic Recovery - Learn how an ancient superpower attempted to pivot from the brink of bankruptcy to sustainable financial independence without relying on war.
The Power of Trade and Immigration - Discover Xenophon's progressive arguments for welcoming foreign merchants, reducing trade barriers, and building commercial infrastructure to attract global wealth.
Strategies for Resource Management - Explore the detailed proposals for maximizing natural resources, including the famous blueprint for the Athenian silver mines.
Peace as a Profitable Enterprise - Understand the philosophical and practical arguments that peace and stable commerce are far more lucrative than imperial conquest.
Timeless Financial Wisdom - Delve into early concepts of public investment, risk management, and civic welfare that formed the bedrock of Western economic thought.



Step into the brilliant mind of one of antiquity's greatest pragmatic thinkers. Discover the timeless financial and political strategies of Ways and Means and begin your journey into the ancient roots of modern economics today.

The Sea-Change: The Worldwide Hunt for the Ancestors of Animals is about one of the most absorbing puzzles in the whole of science: how the earliest animals lived, and what they looked like. These questions have haunted biology for two centuries because the facts seem to challenge its central dogma, the theory of evolution by natural selection. 
One of the main objections to Darwin's theory of evolution was that the earliest fossils are already large and complex animals, with no sign of the simpler predecessors that the theory requires. They were the trilobites, marine arthropods about the size of a hand that crawled on the seabed half a billion years ago. Darwin was well aware of this flaw. He admitted its force, and postulated, without evidence, that before trilobites evolved the seas must have swarmed with life. We now know that he was right, and that the oldest fossils appeared 50 million years previously. Indeed, modern molecular biology concludes that animals first evolved at least 700 million years ago, long before the first fossils. The fossil record has now been pushed back to about 565 million years old, from the Ediacaran period that preceded the Cambrian. These fossils too are quite large, but they are very odd indeed, so odd that some have denied that they were animals at all.
Graham Bell reviews the fossil record of the earliest animals and draws two controversial conclusions. There was a long-hidden history of the first animals, which were minute and soft-bodied, so left no fossils. They lived on the sea floor and gradually assembled the genetic architecture required for development. Second, most of the Ediacaran fossils were not animal, but a completely different kind of large organism. These two conclusions together lead to a detailed narrative of the stages involved in the early evolution of animals, leading up to the 'Cambrian explosion' which laid the basis of modern biodiversity.

A ground-breaking look at the science of love and connection - and an urgent corrective to some of our most fundamental assumptions about attraction.'In a world saturated with cynical advice about dating and gender, this book is a revelation.' DANIEL H. PINK, author of Drive and The Power of Regret 'One of the most joyfully uplifting antidotes to 21st-century gloom.' THE TIMES ---------------------We're told that what men and women desire from relationship is different - he's looking for novelty, she's looking for commitment; he's concerned with looks, she's concerned with status.We're told that we live in a hierarchy of romantic inequality - where some are 10s and others are 2s; where some people are marriage material and others are wired for promiscuity.But this narrative is unscientific.Such ideas have their roots in a branch of science called evolutionary psychology, and over the past few decades its ideas have permeated our culture and fuelled a narrative that inspires despair and anxiety - and, in its most extreme form, these ideas have been hijacked in the service of misogyny and violence.But the truth about human attraction - and the way evolution plays out in our romantic lives - is much more interesting and optimistic.Bonded by Evolution offers a radical new picture of the roots of enduring chemistry. Distilling evolutionary biology, anthropology and psychology and informed by his pathbreaking research and original experiments at the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory in California, psychology professor Paul Eastwick reveals how attraction is best depicted as a process of finding - and, often, creating - a compatible relationship.Once we understand how ancestral humans sought compatible partners in small networks, we can build a clearer - and brighter - picture of how attraction, sex and relationships really work.---------------------More praise for Bonded by Evolution:'Profound and pragmatic, suggesting an entirely different approach to the study - and pursuit - of love.' ERIC KLINENBERG, co-author of Modern Romance'Rarely have scientific rigor and exuberant optimism been such congenial companions . . . Bonded by Evolution presents an optimistic new paradigm, one that provides clear guidance for romantic success.' ELI FINKEL, author of The All or Nothing Marriage

What We’ve Got Wrong About Love and Connection

Bonded by Evolution

Faced with a terminal cancer diagnosis, poet Lieke Marsman embarked on an intellectual expedition to challenge the limits of the rational, secular worldview she once trusted, in a quest for hope. A brilliant, life-affirming and expansive meditation on mortality and the courage to imagine the unknown.

Realising that the need for conservation of the Outstanding Universal Values (OUVs) of World Heritage Sites still remains much more dominant than a holistic approach towards the wider social, economic and environmental implications, the book "World Heritage and Sustainable Development" aims to examine and propose ways in which sustainable cultural development can become an integral part of successful conservation and management within the context of World Heritage Sites (WHSs). In order to do so, thematic chapters concentrating on issues of building conservation, climate change and human development within the context of World Heritage Sites (WHSs) will be included.

Zynismus und Ressentiments breiten sich in der Gesellschaft aus. Das Therapeutikum dagegen ist eine kluge Radikalität, die sich vom Guten her erschließt - so die These von Jürgen Manemann, der dafür argumentiert, dass das Gute den Blick auf die Wirklichkeit schärft. Kluge Radikalität setzt verkrustete Verhältnisse in Bewegung und lässt Menschenmögliches Realität werden. Damit entspricht die kluge Radikalität dem Prinzip christlicher Politikethik, die daraus erwächst, in einer auf das Äußerste berechnenden und berechneten Welt schlicht und einfach umsonst zu handeln.
