The themes covered include: the role of natural law thought in the history of human rights; human rights scepticism; the different notions of 'subjective right'; the various foundations for human rights within natural law ethics; the relationship between natural law and human rights in religious traditions; the idea of human dignity; the relation between human rights, political community and law; human rights interpretation; and tensions between human rights law and natural law ethics.

Download or read book Die bessere Richtung der Wissenschaften written by Paul Ziche and published by frommann-holzboog Verlag. This book was released on 2011 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Reorganisation des Wissenschaftssystems ist Kant und den Idealisten ein zentrales Anliegen. In seinen Vorlesungen uber die Methode des akademischen Studiums von 1802/03 entwickelt Schelling eine besonders interessante Form der Wissenschaftsreflexion. Ausgehend von der universitaren Praxis diskutiert er die seinerzeit gelehrten Wissenschaftsgebiete und zeigt, wie sein eigener Wissenschaftsbegriff die Brucke schlagt zur akademischen Realitat. Resultat ist ein Wissenschaftsprogramm, das zugleich praxisnah und revolutionar ist. Der Band kommentiert in internationalen Beitragen Schellings Vorlesungen philosophisch und wissenschaftshistorisch und zeigt die Aktualitat von Schellings Ansatz im Kontext gegenwartiger Universitatsdebatten auf. - Mit Beitragen von F. Abbri, Ch. Danz, P. Del Negro, G. F. Frigo, K. Kochy, K. Leonhard, J. Nida-Rumelin, H. J. Sandkuhler, W. R. Shea, J. A. Steiger, H. Zedelmaier, P. Ziche und G. Zoller. Reorganising the system of science had been a central task for Kant and the Idealists. Schelling's Lectures on the method of academic studies from 1802/03 stand out as a discourse based on the academic reality of his time, which discusses all disciplines taught at the universities and shows how his own notion of science can bridge the gap between philosophy and academic practice. The result is a programmatic notion of science both practicable and revolutionary. - In a variety of international articles, the present volume discusses Schelling's Lectures from the point of view of both philosophy and history of science and shows that his ideas remain thought-provoking even in a contemporary context of university debates.
Download or read book Adolf Portmann written by Filip Jaroš and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume is the first specialized book in English about the Swiss zoologist and anthropologist Adolf Portmann (1897-1982). It provides a clarification and update of Portmann’s theoretical approach to the phenomenon of life, characterized by terms such as “inwardness” and “self-presentation.” Portmann’s concepts of secondary altriciality and the social uterus have become foundational in philosophical anthropology, providing a benchmark of the difference between humans and animals. In its content, this book brings together two approaches: historical and philosophical analysis of Portmann’s studies in the life sciences and application of Portmann’s thought in the fields of biology, anthropology, and biosemiotics. Significant attention is also paid to the methodological implications of his intended reform of biology. Besides contributions from contemporary biologists, philosophers, and historians of science, this volume also includes a translation of an original essay by Portmann and a previously unpublished manuscript from his most remarkable English-speaking interpreter, philosopher Marjorie Grene. Portmann’s conception of life is unique in its focus on the phenomenal appearance of organisms. Confronted with the enormous amount of scientific knowledge being produced today, it is even clearer than it was during Portmann’s lifetime that although biologists employ physical and chemical methods, biology itself is not (only) physics and chemistry. These exact methods must be applied according to what has meaning for living beings. If biology seeks to understand organisms as autonomous agents, it needs to take display and the interpretation of appearances as basic characteristics of life. The topic of this book is significantly relevant to the disciplines of theoretical biology, philosophy, philosophical anthropology, and biosemiotics. The recent epigenetic turn in biology, acknowledging the interconnections between organismal development, morphology and communication, presents an opportunity to revisit Portmann’s work and to reconsider and update his primary ideas in the contemporary context.

Download or read book Unity of Body and Soul or Mind Brain Being written by Marcus Knaup and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between our living body and our soul, our mental expressions of life and our physical environment, are both classical topics for discussion and ones which currently present themselves as part of a truly exciting philosophical debate: are we today still able to speak of a “soul”? And what is meant by a (living) body (German: “Leib”)? Does our brain dictate what we will and do? Or do we have free will? Why are we the same people tomorrow that we were yesterday? Given the discoveries of the modern neural sciences, can human beings still be understood in the context of the unity of body and soul? Or should we rather define ourselves as mind-brain beings (German: Gehirn-Geist-Gestalten)? Marcus Knaup explores these questions and discusses the most relevant approaches and arguments concerning the (living) body-soul debate. His own approach to current chal-lenges presented by modern brain research emanates from his bringing together Aristotelian Hylomorphism and phenomenology of the living body (German: “Leibphänomenologie”).
