Gegenstand dieses Buches ist die Zurechnung des Wissens der Aufsichtsratsmitglieder einer deutschen AG. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine für die Praxis äußerst aktuelle Problematik, die dem komplexen und in der Rechtswissenschaft hoch umstrittenen Gebiet der Wissenszurechnung bei juristischen Personen angehört. Da die Thematik rund um das Wissen des Aufsichtsrats nicht ohne ein Grundverständnis der Wissenszurechnung im Ganzen analysiert werden kann, arbeitet der Autor zunächst die Entwicklungen dieses Rechtsinstituts auf und geht dabei insbesondere auf ungeklärte Aspekte ein, die an späterer Stelle für den Aufsichtsrat von Bedeutung sind. Hierauf folgt eine Untersuchung aller rechtlichen und tatsächlichen Entwicklungen des Aufsichtsorgans in den letzten Jahrzehnten, die für die Wissenszurechnung relevant sind und deren Berücksichtigung in der Literatur bislang ausblieb. Das auf dieser Grundlage vom Autor entwickelte Lösungsmodell bietet der Praxis ein eingängiges Instrument, welches nicht nur auf das Wissen des Aufsichtsrats anwendbar ist, sondern nahezu alle denkbaren Konstellationen der zivilrechtlichen Wissenszurechnung einbezieht.

What is an image? How can we describe the experience of looking at images, and how do they become meaningful to us? In what sense are images like or unlike propositions? Participants of the 33rd International Wittgenstein Symposium--philosophers as well as historians of art, science, and literature--provide many stimulating answers. Some of the contributions are dedicated to Wittgenstein's thoughts on images while others testify to the important role notions coined or inspired by Wittgenstein--"seeing as", "picture games" and the dichotomy of "saying and showing"--play in the field of picture theory today. This first volume of the Proceedings of the 2010 conference addresses readers interested in the history and theory of images, and in the philosophy of Wittgenstein.

Diagrams are an essential part of the most diverse processes of communication and cognition. Indeed, today the production of all kinds of text (including this one) is mediated by diagrammatic tools to be found on computer desktops. Not surprisingly, then, diagrams have become the object of much historical and theoretical work. This book--volume 2 of the Proceedings of the 33rd International Wittgenstein Symposium--is dedicated to this quickly growing field of interdisciplinary research. It includes contributions from philosophy, sociology (space syntax), art history, and history of science. Historically, there is a focus on Otto Neurath and his famous visual language (ISOTYPE), while the new attempts at theorizing diagrams presented here are mainly inspired by Charles Sanders Peirce and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
