The book presents papers from leading proponents of realist,
relativist, and constructivist positions in epistemology and the
philosophy of language and ethics.
The problem of persistence is as old as the tradition of systematic
ontology. How can we explain that the middle-sized standard objects
of everyday s life are regarded normally as remaining 'the same',
even if they change their properties and their material
constituents? The aim of this edition is to present new arguments,
perspectives, and theoretical backgrounds concerning 'persistence':
There is much more to consider than the classical distinction
between 'endurantism' and 'perdurantism'. The volume includes
contributions authored by S. Barker, P. Dowe, A. Chrudzimski, P.
Grenon, B. Smith, L. Jansen, E.J. Lowe, U. Meixner, K. Miller, E.
Runggaldier, J. Seibt, and E. Tegtmeier."
The aim of this volume is to investigate the topic of Substance and
Attribute. The way leading to this aim is a dialogue between
Islamic and Western Philosophy. Our project is motivated by the
observation that the historical roots of Islamic and of Western
Philosophy are very similar. Thus some of the articles in this
volume are dedicated to the history of philosophy, in Islamic
thinking as well as in Western traditions. But the dialogue between
Islamic and Western Philosophy is not only an historical issue, it
also has systematic relevance for actual philosophical questions.
The topic Substance and Attribute particularly has an important
history in both traditions; and it has systematic relevance for the
actual ontological debate. The volume includes contributions (among
others) by Hans Burkhardt, Hans Kraml, Muhammad Legenhausen, Michal
Loux, Pedro Schmechtig, Muhammad Shomali, Erwin Tegtmeier, and
Daniel von Wachter.
What can systematic philosophy contribute to come from conflict
between cultures to a substantial dialogue? - This question was the
general theme of the 29th international symposium of the Austrian
Ludwig Wittgenstein Society in Kirchberg. Worldwide leading
philosophers accepted the invitation to come to the conference,
whose results are published in this volume, edited by Christian
Kanzian Edmund Runggaldier. The sections are dedicated to the
philosophy of Wittgenstein, Logics and Philosophy of Language,
Decision- and Action Theory, Ethical Aspects of the Intercultural
Dialogue, Intercultural Dialogue, and last not least to Social
Ontology. Our edition include (among others) contributions authored
by Peter Hacker, Jennifer Hornsby, John Hyman, Michael Kober,
Richard Rorty, Hans Rott, Gerhard Schurz, Barry Smith, Pirmin
Stekeler-Weithofer, Franz Wimmer, and Kwasi Wiredu.
This book is a collection of essays in systematic ontology. The
parts of its title - "Things" and "Ways They Are" - are indicative
of two broadly and intensively discussed issues in current
ontology, namely, what categories of entities there are and in what
ways they are relevant for our discourses. The three sections of
the volume correspond to focuses of ontological research: "Before
Ontology" is dedicated to conceptual, methodological, and
meta-ontological issues; "Ontology at Work" raises general topics
of categorial ontology, and the final section "Ontology in
Application" discusses questions such as those relating to free
will and our conception of the human being. The book is a tribute
to Edmund Runggaldier on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Its
seventeen papers are authored by such distinguished scholars as
Lynne Rudder Baker, Franz von Kutschera, E. J. Lowe, Otto Muck,
Paul Weingartner, Timothy Williamson, and many others.

Seit uber 30 Jahren ist das Internationale Wittgenstein Symposium
in Kirchberg am Wechsel (Osterreich), veranstaltet von der
Osterreichischen Ludwig Wittgenstein Gesellschaft (OLWG), eine fixe
Grosse in der Welt der Philosophie. Mit dieser Festschrift zum 30.
Wittgenstein Symposium (2007) werden Einblicke in die Geschichte
der Tagungen gegeben. Das Buch ist ein bunter Strauss von
Beitragen, von akademisch-philosophischen ebenso wie von
historisch-anekdotenhaften. Es gibt Lob, aber es gibt auch
kritische Stimmen zur Geschichte der Gesellschaft und der
Symposien. Die Leser finden hier "Wortspenden" weltweit bekannter
Philosophen und lokaler Grossen, junger Studenten und etablierter
Kollegen. Diese Collage versucht mittels Texten und Fotos die
Bandbreite der Kirchberger Symposien wiederzuspiegeln."
