Every day throughout Britain, by road, by rail and by sea, there
are large numbers of routine movements of radioactive cargo.
Materials at all stages of the nuclear cycle, from uranium ore to
nuclear waste, from nuclear warheads to radioactive isotopes used
in medicine, are constantly on the move. In normal circumstances
handling low-level material exposes workers to small doses of
radiation, but a serious accident could lead to widespread
contamination and to the major risk of additional deaths from
cancer. The accident record is not good. There are repeated small
accidents and many people believe that the major accident is simply
waiting to happen. This book gives a thorough account of what is
moved, by wham and far what purpose. It considers the risks,
including that of terrorism, the safety record and the precautions.
It also highlights the perils of the secrecy surrounding the
industry: for example, local councils are responsible for coping
with any accident, but are not told when or where nuclear movements
are taking place. Martin Bond's careful work is a large step
towards order in a chaotic industry. Originally published in 1992

From the early 1790s until after the turn of the century, a very
productive but also controversial exchange took place between
Reinhold and Fichte. Though many key aspects of post-Kantian
philosophy were discussed, the philosophical confrontation between
Reinhold and Fichte is most instructive for the understanding of
post-Kantian philosophy. The exchange started when Fichte published
his verdict on Reinhold's Elementarphilosophie and disapproved of
its fundamental principle. In 1794 Fichte challenged Reinhold by
presenting his Wissenschaftslehre. Reinhold was not convinced of
Fichte's foundation of philosophy at first, but announced that he
accepted the Wissenschaftslehre in 1797. While Reinhold and Fichte
officially collaborated in the following three years, tensions
concerning fundamental questions were still present. When Reinhold
adopted Rational Realism, his relation to Fichte deteriorated and
the exchange between the two finally ended. The contributions in
the present collection focus on the central systematic issues at
the different stages of the confrontation between Fichte and
Reinhold, thereby illuminating questions that are essential to the
understanding of the evolution of post-Kantian German philosophy.
Wie ist es moeglich zu verstehen, dass ein anderer Schmerzen hat?
Eine begriffliche Analyse im Anschluss an Wittgenstein zeigt: dazu
ist so etwas wie eine Simulation der fremden Schmerzen durch eigene
Schmerzen erforderlich. Der Autor setzt sich mit den Fragen
auseinander, die ein solcher Ansatz aufwirft, und prasentiert fur
das Problem des Fremdseelischen eine neuartige Loesung. Das Problem
fuhrt in zentrale Bereiche der Philosophie des Geistes hinein. Die
fremden Schmerzen sind in verschiedener Weise mit den eigenen
Schmerzen begrifflich verknupft; im Beispiel des Schmerzes
entfaltet sich die "Logik" eines mentalen Zustands. Mit der
Simulation verbindet sich zudem eine Identifikation mit dem andern.
Ein wichtiger Teil der UEberlegungen befasst sich daher mit einem
Begriff der synchronen Identitat, welche wiederum in einer engen
Beziehung zu bestimmten Formen der Intentionalitat steht.
In 1792, with the aim of defending Kant s doctrine of freedom,
Reinhold redefined freedom of will as the ability to decide for or
against the moral law. Thus freedom of will represents a foundation
of moral philosophy, if not of philosophy as a whole. The present
volume seeks to reinterpret and to discuss this chapter of the
post-Kantian discourse on freedom from various perspectives."
