Die Frage nach dem Sinn gilt als Grundfrage der Religion. In säkularer Konkurrenz zu ihr steht die Philosophie mit ihrer radikalen Kritik an Verdinglichungen theologischer Redeformen und an vermeintlichen Sinngebungen durch ,heilige', vermeintlich unantastbare, Werte eines Gottes. Dabei geht es in der Rede von einem Sinn keineswegs immer schon um innerweltliche Zwecke oder gar um jenseitige Ziele, sondern um ein vernünftiges Verständnis dessen, wovon die Rede ist, um eine rechte Haltung zu ihm oder wie im konkreten Fall des Sinns des menschlichen Lebens um eine im Ganzen gute Lebensgestaltung. Dazu ist der rechte Sinn von nicht unmittelbar verständlichen Rede- und Praxisformen angemessen auszulegen, ohne einfach die problematischen Formen aus der Welt zu schaffen oder allzu defensiv auszudeuten. So ist die Vermeidung der Rede von Seele und Geist zugunsten eines am Ende bloß einzelleiblichen Verhältnisses zu sich und zur Welt wie bei Spinoza und in allen Naturalismen ebenso verfehlt wie die Verharmlosung von Religion zu einer Mystik der Gelassenheit oder einer bloßen Kontingenzbewältigung in Totenfeiern und anderen Akten des Trostes. Das Religiöse betrifft auch nicht bloß eine existenzielle Haltung zum Wunder des Seins wie bei Wittgenstein.

Blick ins BuchPlatons Ideen, Hobbes Leviathan, Kants kategorischer Imperativ... Dies ist nur ein Ausschnitt von Ideen, deren Entwickler sich einen dauerhaften Platz in der Geschichte der Philosophie gesichert haben. Der Philosophiekanon jedoch wäre höchst unvollständig ohne Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz: Genie der Barockzeit. Leibniz (1646-1716) entpuppte sich im Laufe seines Lebens als bahnbrechender Mathematiker, der auch sein philosophisches System "more geometrico", d.h. logisch-axiomatisch aufgebaut hat. Er erfand nicht nur die erste "4-Spezies-Rechenmaschine" - ein früher Vorläufer des Taschenrechners. Durch Weiterentwicklung des binären Zahlensystems kann man ihn, in Zusammenhang mit der Erfindung des Computers, als frühen Wegbereiter der Digitalisierung ansehen. Nicht zuletzt begründete er parallel zu Newton die Infinitesimalrechnung und auch sein religiöses Weltbild gewann er aus dem Geist der Mathematik: Seine Auffassung der Schöpfung der Welt beruht auf der Annahme, Gott könne durch bloße "Berechnung" ermitteln, welche der vielen möglichen Welten die beste sei. Leibniz "mathematische Metaphysik" verstehen - mit "Philosophie für Einsteiger" kein Problem!

According to the idea of intelligent design, nature's complexity is the result of deliberate planning by a supernatural creative force. To date, most scientific arguments against this form of creationism have been made by evolutionary biologists. In this volume, a team of earth scientists reveals that the flaws of intelligent design are not limited to the biological sciences. Indeed, the geological sciences offer some of the best refutations of intelligent design arguments. For the Rock Record is dedicated to the proposition that the idea of intelligent design should be of serious concern to everyone. Editors Jill S. Schneiderman and Warren D. Allmon have gathered leading figures from the geological community with a wide range of viewpoints that go to the heart of the debate over what is and is not science. The purveyors of intelligent design theories and its kindred philosophies threaten the scientific literacy that our society needs by confusing faith and the practice of science. This collection offers a much-needed response.

Walter M. Fitch, a pioneer in the study of molecular evolution, has written this cogent overview of why creationism fails with respect to all the fundamentals of scientific inquiry. He explains the basics of logic and rhetoric at the heart of scientific thinking, shows what a logical syllogism is, and tells how one can detect that an argument is logically fallacious, and therefore invalid, or even duplicitous. Fitch takes his readers through the arguments used by creationists to question the science of evolution. He clearly delineates the fallacies in logic that characterize creationist thinking, and explores the basic statistics that creationists tend to ignore, including elementary genetics, the age of the Earth, and fossil dating. His book gives readers the tools they need for detecting and disassembling the ideas most frequently repeated by creationists.
