Download or read book Vernunft und Innovation written by Antje Gimmler and published by Brill Fink. This book was released on 2010 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walther Ch. Zimmerlis philosophische Bemühungen sind von Grenzgängen zwischen und Überschreitungen von Disziplinen gekennzeichnet und von der Grundüberzeugung getragen, dass Philosophie sich einzumischen und einzubringen hat. Sie muss sich also mit den Lebensfragen der Menschen selbst auseinandersetzen. Zimmerlis philosophisches Ziel ist immer, die Problemlösungsqualität zu steigern. Um dies zu erreichen haben ihn Zeit seines akademischen Lebens weder disziplinäre Grenzen noch systematische Zuordnungen interessiert, sondern er hat Fragen der Technikbewertung (z.B. Kernenergie), der gentechnisch verfahrenden Biotechnologie (sog. Life Sciences), des Umgangs mit Computern philosophisch thematisiert. Bezugspunkt dabei war stets die öffentliche Vernunft als ein abwägendes Bemühen, politische Willensbildung, ökonomische Interessen, technologischen Fortschritt und gesellschaftliche Entwicklung mit ihrer lebensweltlich unterschiedlichen Kommunikativität aufeinander zu beziehen und das bessere Argument zur Geltung zu bringen. Sich im öffentlichen Raum zu bewegen, heißt für ihn, begründet Position zu beziehen, reflektiert Gestaltungsspielräume auszunutzen und persönliche Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Davon ist sowohl seine akademische als auch seine hochschulpolitische Karriere sowie seine Tätigkeit in der Wirtschaft geprägt. Allen Bestrebungen gemeinsam ist die Suche nach Neuem und die Frage, wie es entsteht? Handlungsleitend für Walther Ch. Zimmerli war und ist aber stets, ob und wie diese Innovationen eine Verbesserung für die Menschen in Gegenwart und Zukunft darstellen.
Download or read book Emotional Drivers of Innovation written by Franziska Sörgel and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2024-08-31 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation is ubiquitous and has become a universal term that is indispensable to describe interventions, projects, or products. Franziska Sörgel argues that emotions influence innovations as they are inherent in initial ideas, expectations and habitual evaluation criteria that impact the development process. Instead of assuming that the innovation process is subject to rational and linear creativity, the study adopts the notion of ›moral economies‹ by Lorraine Daston as a space for negotiation. Such an approach enables decision-makers to question the evaluation criteria and patterns for technological developments before implementing them in society.

Download or read book Kant s Critique of Pure Reason written by Otfried Höffe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-23 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kant’s "Critique of Pure Reason" is so outstanding among modern philosophical works, that it can be termed "the" foundation of modern philosophy. Schopenhauer termed it "the most important book ever to have been written in Europe." Otfried Höffe guides the reader through the "Critique" one step at a time, expounding Kant’s thoughts, submitting them to an interpretation and drawing a summary conclusion, placing the work and its topics within the context of its modern successors. A "critical" interpretation of Kant’s text reveals that he had something to say on many discussions that are said to have originated after his death. Reducing his argumentation to its central tenets, it can be made stronger and applicable to current problems. Kant’s eventual concern, however, even when writing theoretical philosophy, lay with the practical. Elaborating this concern and its connection to Kant’s theoretical philosophy is a prime tenet of this book.

Download or read book The Handbook of Innovation and Services written by F. Gallouj and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 823 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book represents a significant step towards dealing with the lacuna constituted by the inadequacy of the literature on the services. And, as such, it approaches its task from a variety of directions.' From the foreword by William J. Baumol, New York University, US 'The Handbook of Innovation and Services is an exceptional volume. Its contributors, including Faïz Gallouj, William Baumol, Jean Gadrey, and Pascal Petit, are among the major thinkers in both the fields of the economics of services and the economics of innovation. Selected topics include the "cost disease", services innovation in the global economy, social innovation in the services, and innovation and employment in services. The book, I am sure, will become a standard reference volume in both these fields in the ensuing years.' Edward Wolff, New York University, US This Handbook brings together 49 international specialists to address an issue of increasing importance for the world's post-industrial economies; innovation as it relates to services. Contemporary economies have two fundamental characteristics. Firstly, they are service economies in as much as services account for more than 70 per cent of the wealth and jobs in most developed countries. Secondly, they are innovation economies as recent decades have seen an unprecedented development of scientific, technological, organisational and social innovations. This Handbook expertly links these two major characteristics in order to investigate the role of innovation in services, an issue that until now has been inadequately explored and one that poses many theoretical and operational challenges. This comprehensive volume encompasses the views of eminent scholars from a range of disciplines including economics, management, sociology and geography, and draws on a number of different analytical and methodological perspectives. With its multi-disciplinary approach this Handbook will be an invaluable reference source for academics and students in the fields of economics, management and the geography of services and innovation. Public authorities and managers in the service sector will also find this book fascinating.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is devoted to innovation with a special focus on its two sides, namely creation and destruction, and on its role in the evolution of capitalist economies. The first part of the book looks at innovation and its effects on economic performance, addressing issues of motives, behavioral rules under uncertainty, actor properties, and technology characteristics. The second part concentrates on potential consequences of innovative activities, in particular structural change, the “innovation-mediated” effect of skill-oriented policies on regional performance, the destructive effects of innovation activities, and the question whether novelty is always good. The role of innovation in the evolution of capitalism itself is discussed in the third part.
