Thinking, Believing, and the Realm of Appearances

Plato's Epistemology of Perceptibles in the Later Dialogues

The focus of this study is Sextus Empiricus's skeptical strategy of how to guard against deceptive arguments in a practical context. Schmitt investigates Sextus's understanding of fallacies and contextualizes it in comparison with those of Aristotle, the Stoics, and Galen. She analyzes Sextus's argument, engaging with the question of which expertise is necessary for the solution of fallacies. Sextus argues against the common view that logic is the relevant expertise, and that instead it is any expertise regarding the objects referred to by the words used in the fallacy. The book shows that Sextus's argument is informed by his empirical background and is in fact a contribution to a medical debate of his time about the relevance of logic for medicine. Furthermore, it argues that Sextus attacks dogmatic doctors of Galen's persuasion.

Sextus Empiricus on Fallacies and Expert Knowledge

The theory of sign and proof is an essential component of Stoic epistemology. This book examines the fragmentary evidence from Sextus Empiricus and sheds light on the two aspects that characterise signs and proofs: the logical relation that holds between a sign and that which it signifies and an additional epistemic relation that is called revelation. All signs feature in conditionals that are true in virtue of the strong modal account of conditionals that the Stoics developed. This modal account is one aspect that makes it possible to gain certain knowledge of that which is signified. But signs and proofs must also reveal that which they signify to produce knowledge. This requirement is fulfilled when an inference proceeds from premises that are justified through knowledge of the causal relation in virtue of which the premises are true.

What is Aristotle's considered view of animal self-motion? According to several scholars, Aristotle ends up rejecting this very notion as a result of his criticism of Plato's theory of a self-moving soul. Contrary to this still&nbsp;widespread assumption, the present study argues that his critical engagement with Plato is not confined to negative results, but achieves largely positive outcomes, which add up to a rich and nuanced picture of self-motion. 
Ferro makes his case by offering a novel reading of a handful of controversial passages from De Anima (I 3-4; III 9-10) and Physics VIII, where Aristotle reacts to three aspects of Plato's theory of self-motion: the claim that soul itself is a self-mover (and therefore a proper subject of motion), the assumption that self-movers enjoy strong causal autonomy, and the link between motion, desire and soul partition. Through a careful reading of the relevant passages, which does justice to their proper context and significance, Ferro shows that Aristotle's critical re-appropriation of self-motion results in a largely coherent doctrine with major repercussions for Aristotelian psychology and philosophy of nature.

Einer der wichtigsten französischen Intellektuellen der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, Gaston Bachelard, ist hierzulande vor allem als Wissenschaftsphilosoph bekannt geworden. Das vorliegende Buch präsentiert eine neue, bisher gänzlich verborgene Seite seines umfangreichen Werkes: seine Begegnung und seine Auseinandersetzung mit der surrealistischen Bewegung und der Pariser Kunstszene der Nachkriegszeit. Es enthält Bachelards sämtliche kleine Schriften zum Werk von Künstlern, die in Frankreich von den 1920er- bis in die 1960er-Jahre aktiv waren, in deutscher Übersetzung. Sie erscheinen hier zum ersten Mal in dieser Vollständigkeit. Eingeleitet wird die Sammlung von Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, der die Schriften Bachelards in den Kontext des Pariser Kunstlebens der ersten beiden Jahrzehnte nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg einordnet. 

 Gaston Bachelards Schriften zur zeitgenössischen Kunst zeigen die Verbindungen, die zwischen seiner Auseinandersetzung mit den Wissenschaften seiner Zeit, ihrer Literatur und Poesie sowie ihren künstlerischen Äußerungen bestehen. Sie verleihen dem Werk des Philosophen seine Einheit, die sich am besten unter den Topos 'Imaginationen der Materie' bringen lässt.&nbsp;

Imaginationen der Materie

Mohr Siebeck Lehrbuch

The modern constitutional state depends on a functioning public administration. It must be lawful, flexible, and as efficient as possible, thus pursuing very different objectives at the same time. The general principles of administrative law therefore present a demanding challenge-for a liberal constitutional order, for legal scholarship, and not least for legal education.
 

 The new edition of this textbook incorporates recent developments in legislation, scholarship, and case law. A new focus is placed on the digitalization of public administration, in particular the increasing use of artificial intelligence. The range of learning materials has been further expanded and enhanced through new case studies and overviews for students, supplemented by additional digital resources.

Ein bahnbrechendes Werk über die Quellen unseres modernen Selbst.
 Michel Foucaults Vorlesungen am Collège de France aus den Jahren 1980 und 1981 markieren einen Wendepunkt in seinem Werk und leiten über zu seinen beiden letzten großen Studien 
 Der Gebrauch der Lüste
 und 
 Die Sorge um sich
 . Die antike Lebenskunst und Ethik treten nun ganz in den Fokus der Analyse, mit dem Ziel einer Genealogie der Sexualmoral der Gegenwart. 
 »Was geschah während des 1. Jahrhunderts unserer Zeitrechnung am Übergang von einer paganen zu einer christlichen Moral?«, so Foucaults Ausgangsfrage. Durch eine minutiöse Untersuchung antiker medizinischer Schriften und Abhandlungen über die Ehe, die Liebe sowie die Deutung erotischer Träume legt er ein Verhältnis des Selbst zu seinen Lüsten frei, das der christlichen Angst vor der Fleischeslust und der Konstruktion einer modernen Sexualwissenschaft vorausging. Schon im griechischen Denken beginnt sich eine Einteilung der Geschlechter nach Aktivität und Passivität zu etablieren, und bereits im Stoizismus des römischen Kaiserreichs entwickelt sich ein Modell der Ehe, das auf lebenslanger Treue basiert, sowie eine Disqualifikation der Homosexualität, jedoch integriert in eine umfassende Lebenskunst. Erst das Christentum transformiert diese Formen der Subjektivität und Sexualität zu Objekten des Wissens und einer Moral, die uns bis heute prägt.

Subjektivität und Wahrheit

Cassirer Forschungen

This volume provides a comparative re-evaluation of central aspects of Kant's and Cassirer's philosophical systems. Instead of seeing Cassirer merely as the historian of Kant's philosophy, or as eclectically introducing Kantian themes to his own philosophy of culture, the contributions collected in this volume advance a mutually illuminating account of Kant and Cassirer. This volume aims to foster philosophical discourse at a number of yet unexplored hermeneutic frontiers: from the status and the consistency of our cognitive activities to their relationship with the positive sciences, from the nature and value of moral agency to the political and institutional challenges of the contemporary world, and from the dialectic between knowledge and morality to the need of a comprehensive perspective on the whole of human practices. The research interests articulated in these essays thus revolve around three main axes. The first is devoted to Kant's legacy and its presence and role in Cassirer's philosophy; the second focuses on Cassirer's own interpretation, appropriation and development of Kant's critique of reason; the third consists in a philosophical confrontation between Kant and Cassirer connected by the idea that our reason shapes the world we live in, and that this formation process is premised on a moral standpoint.

Philosophische Untersuchungen

Based on Hans-Georg Gadamer's own critique of 
 Truth and Method
 , Tobias Keiling develops a Philosophical Hermeneutics 'after Gadamer'. Its theoretical focus in Part One is the question what follows from Gadamer's emphasis on the dialogical and historical nature of understanding for questions of epistemology. Discussing Gettier's critique of the standard theory of knowledge and contemporary debates around epistemic virtue, Keiling sketches ideas for a specific hermeneutical epistemology. In Part Two, Keiling engages with contemporary positions: Gumbrecht's discussion of latent meaning, Bredekamp's theory of image-acts, and Boehm's hermeneutics of images open onto a hermeneutic theory of imagination. Figal, Koch, and Gabriel invite reflections on hermeneutic realism. In Part Three, different applications show the import of Keiling's approach: Gerhard Richter's 
 Betty
 invites reflection about the ethics of vulnerability. Buildings by Peter Zumthor and Alexander Schwarz allow to develop a hermeneutics of architecture. Engaging with Lear, Chakrabarty, and Toadvine, Keiling sketches a critical hermeneutics of the Anthropocene. In each case, Gadamer's hermeneutics is shown to be as indispensable as it is problematic.

Hermeneutisches Wissen

A new history of human intelligence that argues that humans know themselves by knowing their machines. We imagine that we are both in control of and controlled by our bodies-autonomous and yet automatic. This entanglement, according to David W. Bates, emerged in the seventeenth century when humans first built and compared themselves with machines. Reading varied thinkers from Descartes to Kant to Turing, Bates reveals how time and time again technological developments offered new ways to imagine how the body's automaticity worked alongside the mind's autonomy. Tracing these evolving lines of thought, An Artificial History of Natural Intelligence offers a new theorization of the human as a being that is dependent on technology and produces itself as an artificial automaton without a natural, outside origin.

An Artificial History of Natural Intelligence

1990 entstand in Deutschland ein Staatswesen, das sich selbst 'Berliner Republik', manchmal auch die 'dritte deutsche Republik' nannte. Als solche ließe sich mit chronologisch stärkerem Recht die DDR begreifen. Um diese zweite deutsche Nachkriegsgründung weht bis heute eine Aura von Verlegenheit, ja Befremdlichkeit. Inzwischen mehren sich Ermahnungen auch aus der 'alten Bundesrepublik', vermeintlich rein ostdeutsche Befremdlichkeiten als Vorzeichen gesamtdeutscher Probleme zu deuten. Denn nach wie vor hat der deutsche Westen Schwierigkeiten, in der gesamtdeutschen, aber auch in der gesamtwestlichen Gegenwart anzukommen. Das altbundesdeutsche Selbstbild als Musterschüler der Westlichkeit ist brüchig geworden. Somit ist die Position der BRD gegenüber dem transatlantischen 'Werte­westen' ebenso wie gegenüber dem deutschen Teilungserbe neu zu bestimmen. Genau daran versucht sich Jürgen Großes neuer Buchessay. An vordergründig so ungleichartigen Themen wie realsozialistischen Volkspalästen, verlorenen Rüstungswettläufen, treulosen Schutzmächten, dem rauflustigen Ökokommunismus Wolfgang Harichs und dem radikalen Antikommunismus Karl Poppers erprobt er alternative Sichten auf 'die dritte Republik'.

Insolvency law under the InsO - stable and forward-looking. In force for a quarter of a century, it undergoes ongoing development, for example in the areas of restructuring and consumer insolvency. European harmonization is also increasingly coming into focus. This new edition takes particular account of the changes brought about by the MoPeG and brings case law and literature up to date.

Einführung in das Insolvenzrecht

'A gem of a book, serious and clever yet funny and playful' Financial Times 'Professor of philosophy and a public intellectual for the internet age, Callard shows how Socrates can inform the way we live our lives - from romance to politics' Guardian Socrates has been hiding in plain sight. We call him the father of Western philosophy, but what exactly are his philosophical views? He is famous for his humility, but readers often find him arrogant and condescending. We parrot his claim that 'the unexamined life is not worth living,' yet take no steps to live examined ones. We know that he was tried, convicted, and executed for 'corrupting the youth,' but freely assign Socratic dialogues to today's youths, to introduce them to philosophy. We've lost sight of what made him so dangerous. In Open Socrates, acclaimed philosopher Agnes Callard recovers the radical energy at the centre of Socrates' thought and shows why it is still the way to a good life. Callard draws our attention to Socrates' startling discovery that we don't know how to ask ourselves the most important questions- about how we should live, and how we might change. Before a person even has a chance to reflect, their bodily desires or the forces of social conformity have already answered on their behalf. To ask the most important questions, we need help. Callard argues that the true ambition of the famous "Socratic method" is to reveal what one human being can be to another. You can use another person in many ways-for survival, for pleasure, for comfort- but you are engaging them to the fullest when you call on them to help answer your questions and challenge your answers. Here Callard shows that Socrates' method allows us to make progress in thinking about how to manage romantic love, how to confront one's own death, and how to approach politics. In the process, she gives us nothing less than a new ethics to live by.

In spite of the double burden of racial and gender discrimination, African-American women have developed a rich intellectual tradition that is not widely known. Patricia Hill Collins's Black Feminist Thought has become a landmark book and the first to skilfully synthesize the many strands of Black feminist thought into a powerful, coherent argument for social justice.Patricia Hill Collins explores the words and ideas of Black feminist intellectuals and writers, both within the academy and without, providing a rich interpretive framework for the work of such prominent Black feminist thinkers as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde. Drawing from fiction, poetry, music, and oral history, the result is a brilliantly crafted and revolutionary book whose message is as important today as upon its first publication.This 2026 Routledge Classics edition includes a new Preface by the author, replacing the Preface and the Epilogue of the Thirtieth Anniversary edition.

Black Feminist Thought

From the acclaimed author of Michelangelo, God’s Architect, a dual biography of two towering artists of the Renaissance, whose decades-long rivalry spurred both to greater heights In 1529, Michelangelo was in Venice when he first met Titian, Venice’s famed painter of princes, gods, and goddesses. Coming face-to-face with Titian’s drama-infused, richly colored works, the creator of David and the Sistine Chapel ceiling realized he had met a worthy opponent. Twenty-five years later, Titian came to Rome to paint the pope, and the two met again. Painting in the Vatican, Titian experienced the full power of Michelangelo’s work and vowed to surpass the achievements of his older contemporary. Michelangelo and Titian is the untold story of history’s greatest artistic rivalry, a competition between two monumental figures more admiring of one another than either would ever admit. William Wallace brings the world of the sixteenth century to life, and in particular its culture of gossip and intrigue. Wallace challenges the established narrative of this relationship as mostly one-sided, with the younger artist in competition with the reigning master. He shows how the artists moved in overlapping courtly and papal circles, sharing the patronage, power, and sometimes friendship of the most important people of their era, including members of the Medici, Este, and Farnese families. Wallace traces how, over the span of some forty years, this unspoken rivalry was reciprocal and mutually beneficial, with each learning from the other’s brilliance, quietly seeking to best the other’s work and secure his own legacy. An extraordinary achievement, Michelangelo and Titian is a compelling account of two supremely gifted rivals who inspired each other to test the limits of their creative genius, and in doing so created some of the most astonishing works of art the world has ever known.
