How do people and institutions manage to bring their different
perspectives into an effective and productive interplay? How can we
overcome obstacles for the creative potentials of distributed
perspectives? Traditionally, the perspectives of people and
institutions are considered to be fixed and isolated points of
view. In such a picture, the perspectives seem determined in
advance by positions and persons seem trapped within their
perspectival horizons. In contrast, the new approach of this
volume's contributions focuses on the simple but fundamental fact
that people (in their perceiving, speaking, thinking, and acting)
always already refer to fellow human beings and coordinate their
own perspectives with those of other persons and institutions. The
contributions of the present volume concentrate on the structures,
mechanisms, and dynamics of the interplays of different
perspectives of interacting, communicating, and cooperating persons
and institutions. The volume focuses on how the creative potentials
as well as the organizational effectiveness of distributed
perspectives can be set free.
This volume contains contributions to the "systematic study of
knowledge." They suggest both an extension and a new path for
classical epistemology. The topics in the second volume are the
following: variants of skepticism; knowledge of the first, second,
and third person; practical knowledge and the structure of action;
knowledge and the problem of dualism; and disjunctivism concerning
experience and perception.
This volume contains contributions to the "systematic study of
knowledge." They suggest both an extension and a new path for
classical epistemology. The topics in the first volume are the
following: concepts and forms of knowledge, epistemic
perspectivism, knowledge and world-views, perceptual knowledge,
scientific knowledge, models in science, distributed and integrated
knowledge, interaction of forms of knowledge, and relation between
forms of knowledge and forms of representation.
Nietzsche s philosophical analysis of our culture has had more
consequences than most others. In these writings Nietzsche focused
his attention particularly on the validity and effect of scientific
endeavour. Science in its classical sense encompassing natural and
social sciences, philosophy and the arts is seen as a cultural
discipline central to modern human life, but one that is
problematic and has far-reaching consequences. This volume is the
first to bring together Nietzsche scholars and philosophers of
science from all over the world to focus upon the problem of
science."
Ever since the onset of the modern era, the relationships between
knowledge, the sciences, technology, and the life world have
continually increased in importance. Authors from various
disciplines (philosophy, history of science and technology) address
topics from knowledge and sciences, basic patterns of thought from
the early modern period through German idealism, and modern
technologies. Tracing the historical developments involved, they
reveal the challenges humans must grapple with today.
