Few philosophers stand out as boldly as Immanuel Kant. While he did not write as much as others, his principle works, Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical Reason, and Critique of Judgment, are known worldwide. During his time, schools of Kantianism quickly sprang up and were later joined by schools of Neokantianism. Admittedly, not all of Kant's concepts have aged well, but many are still taught among the basics of philosophy today and therefore must be known by every student. The A to Z of Kant and Kantianism provides a comprehensive dictionary that will aid not only students, but also teachers and the general public, since it contains hundreds of entries describing Kant's life and works, and explaining his concepts as well as the contributions of his followers (and also some opponents). Furthermore, much of the writings of the Neokantians, as well as the literature dealing with this movement, are not available in English, thus, this book provides an introduction to this phenomenon to the English-language reader. Given the inevitable problems of language, the glossary is particularly helpful, while the bibliography makes the massive amounts of literature more accessible.
Immanuel Kant was one of the most significant philosophers of the modern age. Historical Dictionary of Kant and Kantianism, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on key terms of Kant's philosophy, Kant's major works and cover his most important predecessors and successors, concentrating especially on the relation of these thinkers to Kant himself. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Immanuel Kant.
Auf der Basis einer internationalen Fachtagung zum Thema "Massenmedien - Geschaft ohne Moral?" verweist der Band auf die offentlichen Forderungen nach starkerer Beachtung ethischer Grundsatze in den Medien, beleuchtet den Stand der Diskussion in der Bundesrepublik sowie im deutschsprachigen Ausland (Osterreich, Schweiz). Wie sieht journalistisches Handeln in der Praxis aus? Funktioniert journalistische Selbstkontrolle? Die Autoren stellen die Ertrage der Kommunikations- und Medienforschung fur die Ethikdebatte vor, befassen sich mit der Bedeutung des Medienrechts. Der Wandel derMedienlandschaft wird auf seine Auswirkungen hinsichtlich ethischer Fragen untersucht: Bedingen neue Medien eine neue Moral?"(...) Besonders der Interdisziplinaritat wegen, aber auch aufgrund der Diskurse, die kein Allheilmittel, sondern einen Denkanstoss liefern, erweist sich das Buch als beachtenswerte Publikation zur Frage nach einer Medien-Ethik."Soziologische Revue, 10/93"
This comprehensive treatment of Neo-Kantianism discusses the main topics and key figures of the movement and their intersection with other 20th-century philosophers. With the advent of phenomenology, existentialism, and the Frankfurt School, Neo-Kantianism was deemed too narrowly academic and science-oriented to compete with new directions in philosophy. These essays bring Neo-Kantianism back into contemporary philosophical discourse. They expand current views of the Neo-Kantians and reassess the movement and the philosophical traditions emerging from it. This groundbreaking volume provides new and important insights into the history of philosophy, the scope of transcendental thought, and Neo-Kantian influence on the sciences and intellectual culture.
