Eric Voegelin (1901–1985) is widely regarded as one of the greatest political philosophers of the 20th century, yet adequate understanding of his writings stands as a challenge for current and future generations. Voegelin’s thought continued to develop at a rapid pace during the last two decades of his life, and as Ellis Sandoz has written, his work found “not only its final but its most profound expression” during this period. Voegelin’s fame stemmed mostly from his many books and the laudatory review articles published in response to them, but he was “preeminently an essayist,” as Sandoz observes. The meditative analyses and essays written in the culminating phase of Voegelin’s career not only expand and deepen his work as a whole, but also revise central components of it in ways that compel reconsideration of even his most widely read texts. Voegelin’s books gave rise to a vast secondary literature that continues to grow, yet the exceptionally impactful late essays and meditative works have never received the scholarly commentaries they deserve because they were published originally as journal articles or chapters in edited collections. This volume remedies that shortcoming with 14 critical analyses that elucidate the late essays while also addressing their implications for the entirety of Voegelin’s thought. The commentaries will prove invaluable to students and scholars in political science, philosophy, history, theology, and other disciplines, serving as a companion piece to the singularly important Vol. 12 of Voegelin’s Collected Works, Published Essays 1966–1985.

Whereas user-facing applications are often written in modern languages, the firmware, operating system, support libraries, and virtual machines that underpin just about any modern computer system are still written in low-level languages that value flexibility and performance over convenience and safety. Programming errors in low-level code are often exploitable and can, in the worst case, give adversaries unfettered access to the compromised host system. This book provides an introduction to and overview of automatic software diversity techniques that, in one way or another, use randomization to greatly increase the difficulty of exploiting the vast amounts of low-level code in existence. Diversity-based defenses are motivated by the observation that a single attack will fail against multiple targets with unique attack surfaces. We introduce the many, often complementary, ways that one can diversify attack surfaces and provide an accessible guide to more than two decades worth of research on the topic. We also discuss techniques used in conjunction with diversity to prevent accidental disclosure of randomized program aspects and present an in-depth case study of one of our own diversification solutions.

Als "Daidalische Diskurse" werden im vorliegenden Buch zeitgenossische Debatten uber das Verhaltnis von Technik, Wissenschaft und Kunst, uber die Grenzen von Kunst und Nichtkunst, uber die "Zwei Kulturen" und uber die Moglichkeitsbedingungen fur eine "dritte Kultur" verhandelt, insbesondere unter dem Gesichtspunkt, dass sie sich vielfach mit einer erneuten Befragung des griechischen Techne-Begriffs verbinden. Dieser wird neu bewertet: nicht als Ungeschiedenheit des noch nicht Ausdifferenzierten, sondern als Modell eines kulturellen Feldes, in dem Differenzierungsprozesse nicht notwendig zu Dichotomien und Ausschlussen fuhren mussen."

Das vorliegende Buch unternimmt weder eine transhistorische Rekonstruktion semiotischer Theoreme noch den Versuch ihrer Aktualisierung. Vielmehr will es den paradigmatischen Status von Lessings "Laokoon" fur eine Diskursgeschichte des Zeichens im 18. Jahrhundert herausarbeiten. Obgleich Lessing selbst es dezidiert ablehnt, von nicht-kunstlerischen Zeichenpraktiken zu handeln, sind seine Reflexionen nicht auf das Gebiet der Kunste zu beschranken. Intuition, Illusion, Evidenz oder das "bequeme Verhaltnis" von Bezeichnendem und Bezeichnetem sind vielmehr Effekte, die auch von Wissenschaften und sozialen Praktiken angestrebt werden. Da es im "Laokoon" nicht nur um die semiotischen Qualitaten und Okonomien von Bild und Text, um das Nebeneinander und Nacheinander der Zeichen geht, sondern auch um die Geschwindigkeit, Steuerung und Optimierung von Zeichenprozessen, hat Lessings Text Indiziencharakter fur fundamentale Problemstellungen, die etwa auch in den Bereichen von Regierungskunsten und Logik nach Losungen verlangen. Gerade eine Lekture des "Laokoon," die "in dem, was gesagt worden ist, keinen Rest und keinen Uberschuss, sondern nur das Faktum seines historischen Erscheinens voraussetzt," erlaubt Analysen, die ein Laokoon-Paradigma in seinen historischen Schichten freilegen: seine Moglichkeitsbedingungen, seine konkrete Entfaltung und seine Transformation im Feld der "Anthropologie.""

Der Autor legt hier die erste Gesamtdarstellung der antiken Ansatze zu einer vergleichenden Zeichentheorie der Kunste (Poesie, Plastik, Malerei, Musik, aber auch darstellendes Verhalten in der Lebenspraxis) vor, die fur die Herausbildung und Entwicklung der griechischen Asthetik, Literatur- und Kunsttheorie konstitutiv waren. Von Simonides uber Empedokles, Gorgias, Platon und Aristoteles bis zur Stoa (von Chrysipp bis Poseidonios) und zu den Epikureern (von Epikur bis zu Philodem) werden alle wichtigen Positionen und Debattenlinien zwischen Spatarchaik und Spathellenismus behandelt, eingebettet in eine breit angelegte Analyse des semiotischen Feldes (Zeichen in Medizin, Rhetorik, Geschichtsschreibung, Logik, Epistemologie, Physik und anderen Wissenschaften). Die poetologisch, kunsttheoretisch und musikologisch relevanten Probleme einer vergleichenden Zeichentheorie werden in konkreten Literatur- und Kunstanalysen am Material entwickelt (Euripides, hellenistische Plastik, Philodems Epigramme, Lukrez De Rerum Natura)."

Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Systeme - Politisches System Deutschlands, Note: 1,0, Universitat Trier, 317 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der anthropogene, das heisst menschengemachte Klimawandel und der resultierende dringende Handlungsbedarf sind mittlerweile kaum mehr umstritten. Seit Beginn der Industrialisierung sind die atmospharischen Konzentrationen der Treibhausgase stark gestiegen. Der Anteil von Kohlendioxid, welches 60% der durch die klimawirksamen Gase anthropogenen Ursprungs verursachten Storung ausmacht, hat mit etwa 380 parts per million den hochsten Wert seit 700.000 Jahren erreicht. Die Hauptquelle der Emissionen ist die Energieversorgung auf Basis der fossilen Brennstoffe Kohle, Erdgas und Erdol. In Deutschland sind mehr als 90% der Emissionen des wichtigsten Treibhausgases Kohlendioxid energiebedingt, etwa 45% entstehen allein in der Energiewirtschaft. Hinsichtlich der prinzipiellen Notwendigkeit, Klimaschutz zu betreiben, besteht mittlerweile ein Grundkonsens in der deutschen Politik. Die deutsche Klimapolitik nimmt sich der Problematik mit einem Mix aus Massnahmen und Instrumenten" an, darunter die okologische Steuerreform, die Forderung erneuerbarer Energien sowie der Kraft-Warme- Kopplung, Selbstverpflichtungen der Wirtschaft, Bildungs- und Forschungsforderung, der Emissionshandel sowie Massnahmen zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz. Zwei zentrale Instrumente wurden in den Jahren 2003 und 2004 novelliert oder erstmals in deutsches Recht umgesetzt: das Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz (EEG) und das europaische Emissionshandelssystem. Das EEG ist ein Instrument zur Forderung erneuerbarer Energien. Es basiert auf einer Abnahme- und Vergutungspflicht und entfaltet seine Steuerungswirkung uber Festpreise: Netzbetreiber mussen von den Anlagenbetreibern eingespeisten EE-Strom abnehmen und zu gesetzlich festgelegten Preisen verguten. Das EEG von 2000 hat in Deutschland einen Boom erneu

Here is a practical guide to doing psychotherapy which, unlike most other manuals that present an idealized view of the therapist-patient relationship, shows what the therapeutic encounter is really like. Using detailed excerpts from clinical protocols, and without omitting the inevitable mistakes that a therapist will make, Dr. Basch draws the reader into the therapeutic dialogue as a way of experiencing what actually happens in the course of treatment with cases of varying complexity.The author focuses on the treatment of the kind of patients who, though likely to make up the majority of a therapist's practice, are generally ignored in training guides,those who are not acutely disturbed, whose pathology is minimal, but whose personal relationships are usually troubled, unsatisfying, and frequently destructive. Dr. Basch's approach, developed over twenty years of practicing and teaching psychotherapy, is dynamic and analytic in that he considers the management of the transference relationship as basic to the treatment process. however, he avoids the rigidities often associated with the classical psychoanalytic position and does not hesitate to incorporate into his teaching methods techniques associated with other schools" of therapy. Throughout, he stresses building on the patient's strengths rather than searching for pathology.This wise and useful book not only will prove invaluable to all beginning psychotherapists,whether their background is one of psychiatry, psychology, or social work,but will also serve as an ideal refresher for those more experienced in clinical work.
