Lorenz Oken - universal gebildeter Naturphilosoph und streitbarer Gelehrter. Die Gesamtausgabe versammelt erstmals seine Werke, die schon im 19. Jahrhundert Maßstäbe setzten und bis heute aktuell geblieben sind. Okens Forschungen erstreckten sich über alle Bereiche der Natur. Seine Experimente waren mit zahlreichen neuen Beobachtungen in der Anatomie, Physiologie und Zoologie verbunden, galten aber vor allem der Naturphilosophie. Den Naturwissenschaften sprach Oken einen hohen Bildungswert zu. Der vierte Band präsentiert Okens erstes vollständig ausgearbeitetes, alle Bereiche der Natur umfassendes System der Naturgeschichte.

The geometric shapes and natural forms, captured with exceptional precision in Ernst Haeckel's prints, still influence artists and designers to this day. This attractive volume highlights the research and findings of this outstanding natural scientist. Powerful modern microscopes have confirmed the accuracy of HaecKel's prints winch, even in their day, rightly became world famous.

Haeckel's outstanding portfolio, first published between 1899 and 1904 in separate installments, is described in the opening essays. The plates illustrate Haeckel's fundamental monistic notion of the "unity of all living things", and the wide variety of forms are executed with utmost delicacy. Incipient microscopic organisms are juxtaposed with highly developed plants and animals. The pages, ordered according to geometric and "constructive" aspects, handsomely document the oneness of the world in its most diversified forms.

This collection of plates was not only well-received by scientists, but by artists and architects as well. Rene Binet, a pioneer of glass and iron constructions, Emile Galle, a renowned Art Nouveau designer, and the photographer Karl Blossfeld all acknowledge and make explicit reference to Haeckel in their work.

Kognitive Leistungen gelten nach Auffassung vieler Neurowissenschaftler dann als erklart, wenn gezeigt werden kann, wie der "Gegenstand" dieser Leistung - ein "Merkmal," ein Ding oder eine Szene - in Form neuronaler Aktivitat "reprasentiert" oder "codiert" wird. Die Erforschung der funktionellen Architektur derjenigen Areale des Gehirns, die man fur das Wahrnehmen und Erkennen verantwortlich macht, besteht dementsprechend wesentlich in der Suche nach "Reizkorrelation" in der Aktivitat von Nervenzellen und Nervenzellpopulationen. In den letzten Jahren wurden Zweifel immer offensichtlicher, ob dieses "reprasentationistische Forschungsprogramm" der Funktionsweise des Gehirns angemessen ist. In den Beitragen dieses Sammelbandes stellen Neurowissenschaftler und Philosophen die Erfolge dieses Forschungsprogramms dar, kritisieren das Programm und seine Erklarungsanspruche aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln und erarbeiten alternative Perspektiven fur eine kognitive Neurobiologie."

Scholars from science, art, and humanities explore the meaning of our new image worlds and offer new strategies for visual analysis. We are surrounded by images as never before: on Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube; on thousands of television channels; in digital games and virtual worlds; in media art and science. Without new efforts to visualize complex ideas, structures, and systems, today's information explosion would be unmanageable. The digital image represents endless options for manipulation; images seem capable of changing interactively or even autonomously. This volume offers systematic and interdisciplinary reflections on these new image worlds and new analytical approaches to the visual. Imagery in the 21st Century examines this revolution in various fields, with researchers from the natural sciences and the humanities meeting to achieve a deeper understanding of the meaning and impact of the image in our time. The contributors explore and discuss new critical terms of multidisciplinary scope, from database economy to the dramaturgy of hypermedia, from visualizations in neuroscience to the image in bio art. They consider the power of the image in the development of human consciousness, pursue new definitions of visual phenomena, and examine new tools for image research and visual analysis.
