This book is presented by two authors who worked in close
cooperation. The first part is written by Ewa Binczyk and discusses
various postulates that have been formulated in response to the
problem of the unwanted side-effects of the practical success of
technoscience which derive from two theoretical perspectives: the
study of risk and science and technology studies (STS), inspired by
actor-network theory (ANT). In the second part of the book Tomasz
Stepien analyses and characterizes the nano-domain as an example of
the development of techno-sciences. Generally, in the case of
nanotechnology this book calibrates reciprocally to each other the
indeed familiar but also slightly different theoretical approaches
established in the philosophy of science and technology.
What can man know about God? This question became one of the main
problems during the 4th-century Trinitarian controversy, which is
the focus of this book. Especially during the second phase of the
conflict, the claims of Anomean Eunomius caused an emphatic
response of Orthodox writers, mainly Basil of Caesarea and Gregory
of Nyssa. Eunomius formulated two ways of theology to show that we
can know both the substance (ousia) and activities (energeiai) of
God. The Orthodox Fathers demonstrated that we can know only the
external activities of God, while the essence is entirely
incomprehensible. Therefore the 4th-century discussion on whether
the Father and the Son are of the same substance was the turning
point in the development of negative theology and shaping the
Christian conception of God.
Die Frage nach der politischen Verfassung der Gesellschaft als
Leitmotiv der politischen Theorie gehoert neben Kulturwissenschaft
und Philosophie zu den Hauptthemen im Gesamtwerk von Anton
Hilckman. Den Hintergrund dafur bilden die dramatischen Ereignisse
in Deutschland und Europa des 20. Jahrhunderts. Anton Hilckman als
politisch engagierter Zeitzeuge nahm direkt an diesen
Auseinandersetzungen teil. In diesem Zusammenhang entwickelt er die
Theorie des politischen Foederalismus als eine Alternative fur
Deutschland und Europa gegenuber den totalitaren Ideologien des
Kommunismus und Nationalsozialismus, die er als die eigentlichen
politischen Pseudo-Religionen herausstellt. Gleichzeitig pladiert
er fur eine politische Bildung der Burgergesellschaft als Grundlage
politischer Mundigkeit.
Inwiefern koennen wir von einer christlichen Philosophie und
Bildung, Kultur und Politik sprechen? Diese grundlegende Frage
bildet den eigentlichen Ausgangspunkt der philosophischen Reflexion
von Anton Hilckman. Den Hintergrund der Auseinandersetzung um die
Philosophie und das Christentum macht die geistige und politische
Situation in Europa, insbesondere in Deutschland und Italien der
Zwischenkriegszeit, aus. Hilckman zeichnet in seinen Schriften ein
spannungsvolles Bild des damaligen philosophischen Diskurses, der
zwischen der thomistischen Neuscholastik und dem Neuidealismus
italienischer Pragung oszillierte und direkt Einfluss auf die
gesellschaftlichen und politischen Ereignisse hatte und
gleichzeitig die Aktualitat fur die gegenwartigen Probleme der
Gesellschaft und Kultur bewahrt.
The book focuses on European Integration in the Field of Higher
Education and Research, as well as the Implementation of the
Bologna Process in Slovenia. The common policy of higher education
and research belongs to the most important fields in the process of
European integration and to the constitutive elements of the
European Union. The authors analyse the process constituting the
framework of higher education and research policy in Poland and
Slovenia. The book analyses the political process of transformation
within these two member states of the EU and exemplifies their
plurality and specificity which are integrated in the genuine
European idea of education, science and the research community.
Confronted with the accelerated development of science and
technology the presented analyses are focusing on three predominant
theoretical approaches in the philosophy of science and technology:
technoscience (STS), technology assessment (TA) and converging
technologies (NBIC). On this base are extrapolated the coordinates
of the heuristics of technosciences which are recognized as the
platform of understanding but also dealing with technoscientific
innovations. This concerns especially nanotechnology and the
emerging theoretical, methodological, ethical, socio-political
controversies and dilemmas. In this manner the book epitomizes the
elaborated to date approaches and designs the heuristic turn as the
strategy of comprehensive understanding of technosciences.
