Incommensurability is the impossibility to determine how two options relate to each other in terms of conventional comparative relations. This book features new research on incommensurability from philosophers who have shaped the field into what it is today, including John Broome, Ruth Chang and Wlodek Rabinowicz. The book covers four aspects relating to incommensurability. In the first part, the contributors synthesize research on the competing views of how to best explain incommensurability. Part II illustrates how incommensurability can help us deal with seemingly insurmountable problems in ethical theory and population ethics. The contributors address the Repugnant Conclusion, the Mere Addition Paradox and so-called Spectrum Arguments. The chapters in Part III outline and summarize problems caused by incommensurability for decision theory. Finally, Part IV tackles topics related to risk, uncertainty and incommensurability. Value Incommensurability: Ethics, Risk, and Decision-Making will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in ethical theory, decision theory, action theory, and philosophy of economics"-- Provided by publisher.

In times of rapidly changing social worlds and an ever more fragile controllability of the law, international legal comparison obtains increasing relevance. Frequently, similar or even identical questions and problems must be answered and solved in different legal communities, but there is rarely a single answer or solution. For a decade, the Faculty of Law of the University of Göttingen and the Yonsei Law School in Seoul (Republic of Korea) have engaged in continuous dialogue about both current and fundamental questions of legal reform. In October 2018, the fifth German-Korean Symposium took place. The lectures and presentations covered highly relevant aspects of public environmental law, insolvency proceeding, law of criminal sanctions and law of the constitution of the criminal courts as well as computer crime, including historic and philosophical foundations of the law. This volume combines the elementary contributions and makes them accessible for the interested professional public. In einer Zeit der sich beschleunigt verändernden sozialen Welten und einer immer fragiler werdenden Steuerungsfähigkeit des Rechts gewinnt der internationale Rechtsvergleich wachsende Bedeutung: Nicht selten begegnen in verschiedenen Rechtsgemeinschaften ähnliche oder gar dieselben Fragen und Probleme, auf die es aber selten nur eine einzige Antwortmöglichkeit gibt. Schon seit einem Jahrzehnt befinden sich die Juristische Fakultät der Universität Göttingen mit der Yonsei Law School in Seoul (Südkorea) in einem kontinuierlichen Dialog über ebenso aktuelle wie grundlegende Reformfragen des Rechts. Im Oktober 2018 fand bereits zum fünften Mal ein deutsch-koreanisches Symposium statt; die Vorträge und Präsentationen umfassten zu diesem Anlass hochbedeutsame Aspekte des öffentlichen Umweltrechts, des Insolvenzverfahrens, des strafrechtlichen Sanktionen- und Strafgerichtsverfassungsrechts sowie der Computerkriminalität mitsamt ausgewählten historischen und philosophischen Grundlagen des Rechts. Die wesentlichen Beiträge sind in diesem Band zusammengeführt und werden der interessierten Fachöffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht.

"This book provides the most comprehensive account so far of novel and hitherto unexplained factors operative in the choice between synthetic (prouder) and analytic (more proud) comparatives. It argues that the underlying motivation in using the analytic variant is to mitigate processing demand - a compensatory strategy referred to as more-support. The analytic variant is claimed to be better suited to environments of increased processing complexity ... presumably owing to its ability to facilitate early phrase structure recognition, the more transparent one-to-one relation between form and function and possibly because the degree marker more can serve as a structural signal foreshadowing cognitive complexity. A bird's eye view of 24 determinants reveals that the processing effort which triggers the analytic comparative emanates from structures that are phonologically, morphologically, syntactically, lexically, semantically or pragmatically complex. By bridging the gap between. Corpus-based variation research and psycholinguistic and typological approaches, the book breaks new ground in uncovering the functional motivation behind the continued variability of synthetic-analytic contrasts."--Jacket.

Quelle est l’utilité des comparaisons internationales en éducation ? Comment des comparaisons telles que PISA sont-elles reçues et utilisées dans notre pays à travers le temps ? Peut-on en tirer des leçons en termes de pratiques à importer ou exporter d’un système éducatif à l’autre ? Des questions telles que la dyslexie ou l’autonomie des écoles signifient-elles la même chose dans n’importe quel pays ? Comme à l’occasion de chaque Entretien, des chercheurs et des praticiens confrontent dans ce volume leurs visions dans l’objectif de favoriser les interactions entre recherches universitaires et pratiques professionnelles.

The physical landscape has been appropriated by artists throughout temporal and spatial history to represent (or present) political, social, and national identities. Artists have long imbued the landscape with personal and public ideologies. Indeed, landscapes can be more than simple representations of scenic beauty, when artists use the genre to convey or reflect upon various political and social concerns important in different periods. This collection of essays brings together the perspectives of scholars from a variety of backgrounds. Subjects range from Venetian Renaissance waterscapes to

As a logical concept, identity refers to one and the same thing. So how can it describe membership in various groups, as in ethnic and religious identity? Bringing together an analytic conception of identity with a psychosocial understanding, Vincent Descombes demonstrates why a person has more than one answer to the essential question Who am I?
