This collection of essays, by leading international researchers, examines the case for realism with respect to dispositions and causal powers in both metaphysics and science. Among the issues debated in this book is whether dispositions can be analyzed in terms of conditionals, whether all dispositions have a so-called categorical basis and, if they do, what is the relation between the disposition and its basis.

The belief is widely held that the physical world is causally-driven. The world is one because a tangled web of causally-driven processes keeps it together. However, both the psychological and the social worlds cannot be articulated in causal terms only. Hereby, "motivation" is used as the most general term referring to whatever keeps (synchronically) together and provides (diachronic) reasons explaining the behavior of psychological and social systems. In order to systematically address these problems, a categorical framework is needed for understanding the various types of realities population

Bereits mit seiner Diplomarbeit an der Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm «Über den Zeichen- und Symbolcharakter von Gegenständen» hatte Klaus Krippendorff den Grundstein dafür gelegt, was heute weltweit als der Kern von Design-Theorie angesehen wird. Als Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Forschung legt der Autor in dieser Publikation jetzt die ultimative Summe seiner Erkenntnisse vor. Die Kernaussage lautet: Bedeutung ist wichtiger als Funktion. Design gibt den Dingen Sinn, es macht Dinge verständlich. Es geht dabei um die kontextabhängige Wahrnehmung, Erfahrung und Interpretation von Produkten durch den Benutzer. Krippendorff entwirft den Methodenapparat, um diese Phänomene angemessen wissenschaftlich erfassen und beschreiben zu können. Klaus Krippendorff ist Professor an der Annenberg School for Communication der University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, USA. Zur Vorgeschichte des Buches klicken Sie hier.

Kant's Critique of Judgement analyses our experience of the beautiful and the sublime in relation to nature, morality, and theology. Meredith's classic translation is here lightly revised and supplemented with a bilingual glossary. The edition also includes the important First Introduction. - ;'beauty has purport and significance only for human beings, for beings at once animal and rational'. In the Critique of Judgement (1790) Kant offers a penetrating analysis of our experience of the beautiful and the sublime, discussing the objectivity of taste, aesthetic disinterestedness, the relation of
