What is truth, goodness, or beauty? Can we really define these
concepts without the idea of a frame of reference? In the newest
addition to the New Dialogues in Philosophy series, Michael Krausz
presents fictional dialogues between four former classmates who
hold significantly different views about these questions. As they
travel in India, a place with unfamiliar concepts and customs,
these four friends debate the rightness of relativism and
absolutism. Are these concepts irreconcilable? Might there be a
better view that goes beyond both of them? These lively discussions
provide students with an accessible introduction to one of the most
enduring and far-reaching philosophical problems of our age.
The thirty-three essays in "Relativism: A Contemporary
Anthology" grapple with one of the most intriguing, enduring, and
far-reaching philosophical problems of our age. Relativism comes in
many varieties. It is often defined as the belief that truth,
goodness, or beauty is relative to some context or reference frame,
and that no absolute standards can adjudicate between competing
reference frames.
Michael Krausz's anthology captures the significance and range
of relativistic doctrines, rehearsing their virtues and vices and
reflecting on a spectrum of attitudes. Invoking diverse
philosophical orientations, these doctrines concern conceptions of
relativism in relation to facts and conceptual schemes, realism and
objectivity, universalism and foundationalism, solidarity and
rationality, pluralism and moral relativism, and feminism and
poststructuralism. Featuring nine original essays, the volume also
includes many classic articles, making it a standard resource for
students, scholars, and researchers.

Interpretation, Relativism, and Identity: Essays on the Philosophy
of Michael Krausz addresses three major philosophical themes:
interpretation, relativism, and identity. It does so by focusing on
Krausz's distinctive exploration of the relationship between
interpretation and ontology, the varieties of relativism, and the
interpretive dimension of identity construction. Throughout the
years, Krausz has participated in exchanges between people who
embrace opposing views about reality, human selves, and the
attachments or detachments between them. In these exchanges, life
orientations are at stake as much as conceptual distinctions. These
exchanges are reflected in a discussion among renowned scholars in
philosophy and literary studies not only on Krausz's work but also
on the significant philosophical implications of key issues for how
we understand the human condition, our commitments and values, the
meaning of religious and artistic texts, and the way we make sense
of our lives and ourselves. The contributors to this volume engage
with all of these concerns in their dialogue with Krausz and with
one another. The range and versatility of Krausz's conceptual
apparatus can benefit students and scholars with interests in
interpretative endeavors, different ontological commitments, and
various conceptual priorities and preferences.

Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Zusammenfassung: Wie die Zahl der
Internet-Nutzer, so nimmt auch die Menge an Informationen, die uns
uber das Internet angeboten werden, taglich zu, wodurch die
Informationsuberlastung fur den Nutzer immer grosser wird. Eine
gezielte Informationssuche wird durch virtuelle Communities
ermoglicht, die ein bevorzugter Treffpunkt fur Leute mit gleichen
Interessen geworden sind. Ermutigt durch den Community-Ansatz
streben immer mehr Unternehmen an, eine Internet-Community
aufzubauen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Bedeutung von Virtual
Communities fur das Marketing, insbesondere fur das Electronic
Shopping, herauszustellen, da diese Form des Internet-Marketing
immer mehr an Gehalt gewinnt. Neben der Geschichte und den
theoretischen Grundlagen wie Arten und Merkmalen virtueller
Gemeinschaften, wird auch auf die technischen Rahmenbedingungen und
Kommunikationsformen eingegangen. Weiterhin erfolgt nahere
Betrachtung der Moglichkeiten des Einsatzes von Marketingstrategien
innerhalb virtueller Communities und der Mittel zu deren Umsetzung.
Schlagworte sind hier vor allem Kundenbindung und
One-to-One-Marketing. Auch wird auch naher auf die
Erlebnisvermittlung innerhalb der virtuellen Gemeinschaften
eingegangen und es werden Moglichkeiten aufgezeigt, mit denen man
Community-Mitglieder enger an die Gemeinschaft binden kann. Im
letzten Kapitel erfolgt neben einer zusammenfassenden Bewertung
auch ein Ausblick auf mogliche zukunftige Entwicklungen.

This volume looks at the symbiotic relationship between the
philosophical inquiry into the presuppositions of musical
interpretation and the interpretation of particular musical works
by musicians. Characteristically, interpreters of music entertain
philosophical views about musical interpretation. For example, an
interpreter's decision whether to play one or another version of a
piece, whether to use one instrument or another, whether to
emphasize certain elements, depends in part upon certain
convictions of a philosophical nature. An interpreter's resolution
of such questions will involve views about what a musical work
is--for example, whether it is fully embodied in a score, how
strictly all markings should be respected, what pertinence
historical research has for interpretations, and how decisive the
known or reconstructed intentions of a composer may be. These
nineteen previously unpublished essays address a cluster of
interrelated questions about the definition, grounds, and nature of
musical interpretation. The contributors investigate the aesthetic,
cultural, and historical aspects of interpretation as well as
fundamental distinctions such as those between a work and its
interpretation, musical and non-musical phenomena, and musical
meaning and linguistic meaning.
This exquisitely illustrated and extensive map charts the
indigenous peoples and languages of Alaska. Compiled by experts at
the Alaska Native Language Center at the University of Alaska
Fairbanks, the map is a central contribution to the field of Alaska
studies. "Indigenous Peoples and Languages of Alaska" offers a
unique geographic perspective and reflects the most up-to-date,
contemporary research. It will serve as an essential resource for
Native and linguistic researchers.
