Alle reden von Orientierung, aber seit Kant sind kaum Versuche gemacht worden, zu sagen, was das ist: Orientierung. Sie ist das Alltäglichste, mit dem wir zu tun haben, das Erste, von dem alles ausgeht, und das Letzte, zu dem wir zurückkommen, und als solches eine Frage der Philosophie. In Auseinandersetzung mit den großen Entwürfen der Philosophie klärt Werner Stegmaier die Bedingungen und Strukturen der alltäglichen Orientierung, in die auch sexuelle, politische, religiöse, ethische Orientierungen eingebettet sind, und schafft der Philosophie dabei neue Grundlagen. Geklärt werden die Bedingungen der Möglichkeit der Orientierung überhaupt, die Bedingungen der Orientierung an anderer Orientierung in Interaktion und Kommunikation, die Bedingungen der Orientierung in besonderen Orientierungssystemen wie der Ökonomie, den Massenmedien, der Politik, des Rechts, der Wissenschaft, der Kunst und der Religion, die Bedingungen der moralischen Orientierung und ihrer Selbstreflexion in der ethischen Orientierung, die Bedingungen der Weltorientierung in der globalisierten Kommunikation und schließlich die Bedingungen der Metaphysik, des Absehens von der Orientierung in der Orientierung. Die Philosophie der Orientierung schließt mit der Bedeutung des Todes für die Orientierung. Am Anfang stehen Vororientierungen zu den Bedingungen der Möglichkeit einer Philosophie der Orientierung, dem Vorkommen der Orientierung bei Tieren, Pflanzen und Teilchen und ihrer Entwicklung beim Menschen und zur Evolution des philosophischen Begriffs der Orientierung. Die Philosophie der Orientierung reicht weit über die Philosophie hinaus und bezieht auch eine Vielzahl von Fachwissenschaften ein. Sie hat dadurch zugleich Handbuch-Charakter. Sie wird künftig das Referenzwerk für alle philosophische Fragen der Orientierung sein.

Scholars in the humanities have become increasingly interested in questions of how space is produced and perceived-and they have found that this consideration of human geography greatly enriches our understanding of cultural history. This "spatial turn" equally has the potential to revolutionize Jewish Studies, complicating familiar notions of Jews as "people of the Book," displaced persons with only a common religious tradition and history to unite them. Space and Place in Jewish Studies embraces these exciting critical developments by investigating what "space" has meant within Jewish culture and tradition-and how notions of "Jewish space," diaspora, and home continue to resonate within contemporary discourse, bringing space to the foreground as a practical and analytical category. Barbara Mann takes us on a journey from medieval Levantine trade routes to the Eastern European shtetl to the streets of contemporary New York, introducing readers to the variety of ways in which Jews have historically formed communities and created a sense of place for themselves. Combining cutting-edge theory with rabbinics, anthropology, and literary analysis, Mann offers a fresh take on the Jewish experience.

What does it mean to live in time, between the unforeseeable and the irreversible? In The Varieties of Temporal Experience, Michael Jackson demonstrates the significance of a phenomenology of time for ethnography, philosophy, and history through a multifaceted consideration of the gap between our cultural representations of temporality and the bewildering multiplicity of our experience of being-in-time.Jackson explores temporality in a subjective mode as a form of literary anthropology. The first part of the book tells the story of John Joseph Pawelka, whose 1910 escape from prison and subsequent disappearance became one of New Zealand's great unsolved mysteries, discussing what it reveals about the interplay of popular stories, hidden histories, and media narratives in constructing allegories of national and moral identity. In the second, Jackson reflects on journeys up and down the islands of New Zealand, touching on the ways that personal stories are interwoven with social and historical events. Throughout this groundbreaking book, Jackson juxtaposes philosophy, history, and ethnography in an attempt to do justice to the extraordinary variety of temporal experience, at the same time exploring the ethical and existential quandaries that arise from the complexity of lived time.

That time is both a dimension of behaviour and a ubiquitous controlling variable in the lives of all living things has been well recognized for many years. The last decade has seen a burgeoning of interest in the quantitative analysis of timing behaviour, and progress during the last five or six years has been particularly impressive, with the publication of several major new theoretical contributions. There has also been considerable progress in behavioural methodology during the past decade. In the area of reinforcement schedules, for example, the venerable interresponse-time schedu

Time Distortions in Mind brings together current research on aspects of temporal processing in clinical populations, in the ultimate hope of elucidating the interdependence between perturbations in timing and disturbances in the mind and brain. Such research may inform not only typical psychological functioning, but may also elucidate the psychological consequences of any pathophysiological differences in temporal processing. This collection of current knowledge on temporal processing in clinical populations is an excellent reference for the student and scientist interested in the topic, but it also serves as the stepping-stone to share ideas and push forward the advancement in understanding how distorted timing can lead to a disturbed brain and mind or vice versa.
