"Philosophical Heuristics" aims to translate philosophical issues into meta-philosophical issues examined from a unique perspective. The analytical and interpretive practice of heuristics seeks to grasp synchronously all the processes leading to the formation of philosophical discourse, its language, form and content. The book takes hermeneutics and pragmatism as a starting point for a multifaceted and systematic examination of philosophical heuresis and promotes a style of philosophising "in the suspense of heuristic reflection", something more than ordinary theoretical self-awareness.

This book, in the form of a classical philosophical treatise, presents a large-scale theoretical project: It uses a metaphilosophical perspective to present the framework for postmetaphysical thinking, situating it in the domain of the metaphysics of morality. It offers an innovative defence of scepticism based on a critical and radical analysis of the concepts of knowledge and truth. Metaphysical and transcendental traditions are deconstructed, mainly in relation to the paradoxes of so-called realism and idealism, which are the consequence of dependence on an archaic substance theory. Moreover, the book proposes a certain form of philosophising in spite of everything, i.e. within a sceptical approach. The critique of ethics leads to an a-ethical concept of the will and the values of life.

Das Buch ist die erste systematische Bearbeitung der neukantianischen Philosophie. Eine der wichtigsten philosophischen Richtungen der Wende des neunzehnten und zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts stand im Mittelpunkt des Interesses und der Analyse, aber aus vielen Grunden wurde sie etwas vergessen. Erst in den 1980er-Jahren begann die Forschung zum Neukantianismus wieder. Der Bezugspunkt war der erste Versuch, den Neukantianismus zu kodifizieren, der 1923 in der von K.T. OEsterreich herausgegebenen Grundriss der Geschichte der Philosophie von F. UEberweg gemacht wurde. So erhalt der Leser einen UEberblick uber die wichtigsten Vertreter aller sieben neukantianischen Richtungen.

Diese Monographie untersucht Leonard Nelsons Kritik an der Erkenntnistheorie. Leonard Nelson war in den ersten dreissig Jahren des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts ein bekannter Philosoph, der zusammen mit dem Neukantianismus seine Bedeutung verlor. In letzter Zeit lasst sich jedoch eine deutliche Zunahme des Interesses an Neukantianismus beobachten. Dieses Buch leistet somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zu den neuen Tendenzen in der gegenwartigen philosophischen Geschichtsschreibung und der systematischen Erforschung der zeitgenoessischen Philosophie. Der Autor stellt darin eine eingehende und systematische Analyse der Kritik von Nelson an der Erkenntnistheorie dar. Diese Kritik wird vor allem aus der Sicht des Neukantianismus vorgenommen, aber auch andere wichtige Referenzen wie Phanomenologie und Positivismus werden berucksichtigt.

The organic farming revolution that has swept the country over the past decades can trace much of its origins with the Maine Organic Farmers and Growers Association, which will be celebrating 50 years in 2021. Reviewing the high and low points of the past half-century and looking forward to new challenges and opportunities, the book presents a collection of essays by prominent individual in MOFGA’s rise and evolution as well as important voices in the national discussion about sustainability, food resources, soil preservation, young farming, and the intersection of organic farming and human health.

Rediscovering Grounded Theory is a bold re-evaluation of the origins of grounded theory, a philosophical clarification of its key ideas and a presentation of the most effective way to use its techniques in your research.

It answers questions such as 'What should grounded theory look like?', 'How do I recognise grounded theory?' and 'How do I produce good grounded theory?' by returning to the original ideas as they were presented by Glaser and Strauss.

Sharp, clear and thought-provoking, the book includes:

- Detailed analysis of the current literature

- Exemplar sections filled with detailed, real world examples and applications

- A detailed glossary

It will provide you with a grasp of what a grounded theory should look like, take you through the process of building a grounded theory and then explain best practice for critically evaluating the quality of grounded theory research.
