This innovative volume provides a new analytic framework for
understanding how meaning-making resources are deployed in images
designed for knowledge building in school science. The framework
enables analyses of science images from the perspectives of both
their complexity and recognizability. Complexity deals with the
technical and abstract knowledge of school science (technicality),
evaluative dispositions in relation to that knowledge (iconization)
and the condensation of the technical and dispositional meanings as
‘synoptic eyefuls’ in discipline-specific infographics
(aggregation). Recognizability concerns the relationship between
the appearance of phenomena in reality and the reconfiguration of
this reality in images (congruence), the perceptibility or
discernibility of the features and contexts of phenomena in images
(explicitness), and how images engage their viewers (affiliation).
The framework is illustrated by more than 100 images in colour in
the e-book and black and white in the paper version and will inform
research into multimodal literacy pedagogy that incorporates an
understanding of the role of images in the teaching and learning of
school science. This book will be of particular interest to
scholars in multimodality, semiotics, literacy education and
science education.
The nature and properties of angels occupied a prominent place in
medieval philosophical inquiry. Creatures of two worlds, angels
provided ideal ground for exploring the nature of God and his
creation, being perceived as 'models' according to which a whole
range of questions were defined, from cosmological order, movement
and place, to individuation, cognition, volition, and modes of
language. This collection of essays is a significant scholarly
contribution to angelology, centred on the function and
significance of angels in medieval speculation and its history. The
unifying theme is that of the role of angels in philosophical
inquiry, where each contribution represents a case study in which
the angelic model is seen to motivate developments in specific
areas and periods of medieval philosophical thought.

Normativity has long been conceived as more properly pertaining to
the domain of thought than to the domain of nature. This conception
goes back to Kant and still figures prominently in contemporary
epistemology, philosophy of mind and ethics. By offering a
collection of new essays by leading scholars in early modern
philosophy and specialists in contemporary philosophy, this volume
goes beyond the point where nature and normativity came apart, and
challenges the well-established opposition between these all too
neatly separated realms. It examines how the mind's embeddedness in
nature can be conceived as a starting point for uncovering the
links between naturally and conventionally determined standards
governing an agent's epistemic and moral engagement with the world.
The original essays are grouped in two parts. The first part
focuses on specific aspects of theories of perception, thought
formation and judgment. It gestures towards an account of
normativity that regards linguistic conventions and natural
constraints as jointly setting the scene for the mind's ability to
conceptualise its experiences. The second part of the book asks
what the norms of desirable epistemic and moral practices are. Key
to this approach is an examination of human beings as parts of
nature, who act as natural causes and are determined by their
sensibilities and sentiments. Each part concludes with a chapter
that integrates features of the historical debate into the
contemporary context.

What constitutes the meaning of a linguistic expression: the mental
states of the language user or external factors? Locke appears to
assume the simple thesis that words primarilysignify the ideas in
the mind of the speaker and thereby to commit himself to an
untenable mentalism. The author argues against this widely-held
view by providing a comprehensive historical and systematic case
that Locke is better described as a social externalist, i.e.
someone for whom the linguistic community plays an essential role
in fixing meaning.
Mit Blick auf den Umgang mit benachteiligenden Wohnbedingungen
uberpruft Martin Lenz am Beispiel der Stadt Karlsruhe, inwieweit
soziologische Theorien zu sozialer Ungleichheit und Segregation fur
die kommunale Praxis mittlerer Grossstadte relevant sind. Damit
stellt sich auch die Frage nach der Anwendung von Methoden der
empirischen Sozialforschung in der kommunalen Praxis von
Sozialverwaltungen, da Stadtpolitik fur die Balance zwischen
soziologischer Theorie und kommunaler Selbstverwaltung sorgen muss.
