    Das Verhältnis von Design und Demokratie ist nicht nur eine Sache der effizienten, transparenten oder partizipativen Gestaltung politischer Institutionen und ihrer Prozesse. Design muss vielmehr in seiner Wechselwirkung mit der für die Demokratie konstitutiven Kultur der Freiheit bestimmt werden. Felix Kosok legt dar, wie sich die Verhandlung der politischen Dimension des Designs auf eine grundsätzliche Ebene verlagert: Dem Design selbst kommt eine politische Bedeutung zu, die von seiner ästhetischen Dimension nicht zu trennen ist. In der produktiven Freiheit zu den Zwecken zeigt sich die prinzipielle Gestaltbarkeit der Dinge, die von einer kritischen Theorie des Designs bewusst gehalten werden muss.

    Aesthetic knowledge consists of a complex interplay between the sensual and the intellectual, and eludes a straightforward logic of judgment. This volume investigates the associated aesthetic, epistemological, and artistic problems using a historical-systematic approach. It documents the relevance of transcendental philosophical, idealistic, and phenomenological perspectives to a contemporary conception of sensual insight.

    "Anne Enright has publicly evidenced gender imbalance in publishing mentioning that men mostly praise books written by men. ANNE ENRIGHT. Feminine Aesthetics: Writing, Mothering, Spiraling claims that Enright advocates for this cause by giving voice, in her literature, to those she considers the most repressed in the society she reports to. By telling stories of pregnancy, mothers, daughters and grandmothers, she empowers women, opens up possibilities for the future and give expression to opinions long buried. ANNE ENRIGHT. Feminine Aesthetics: Writing, Mothering, Spiraling retraces most of Enright's prose and it comes up with an original account of her aesthetics: Enright writes in a spiral, her works reveals a spiraling aesthetics in which the spiral is feminine and it lifts women's reputation up. In this aesthetical process, the author uses narrative strategies to guide the reader in a circular-upward progression towards social self-awareness. In reading Enright's literary texts, the individual is led to perceive a self-reflection by exploring the inner self and the body of her characters. Then, carried by the spiral, the narrative promotes an elevation of the reader towards self-awareness of his or her materiality immersed in a great realm of human relations"--(Provided by publisher.) ; Zusammenfassung

    Biographical note: Eckart Liebau (Prof. Dr. phil.) lehrt Pädagogik an der Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Allgemeine Pädagogik, Schulpädagogik und Kulturpädagogik. Jörg Zirfas (Prof. Dr. phil.) lehrt Pädagogik an der Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Historische und Pädagogische Anthropologie, Erziehungs- und Bildungsphilosophie, Qualitative Bildungs- und Sozialforschung, Kulturpädagogik sowie Ästhetische Bildung. Main description: Der Geschmack - als Sinnengeschmack und als Kunstgeschmack - ist das Vermögen der Differenzierung, das Wahrnehmen und Reflektieren einer Unterscheidung. Im Geschmack verständigt man sich über Natürliches und Kulturelles sowie über Sinnliches und Ästhetisches. Dieser Band macht deutlich, dass die Bildung des Geschmacks zentral über die Auseinandersetzung mit den Künsten aller Art, den praktischen und den schönen Künsten, verläuft. Nicht umsonst wird der Mensch »homo sapiens«, das schmeckende Lebewesen, genannt: So lohnt es sich vielleicht nicht, über den Geschmack zu streiten, doch für einen eigenen einzutreten, erscheint allemal sinnvoll.

    Der sensus communis vermittelt Apriori und Aposteriori, Intellektualität und Sinnlichkeit, Inter- und Intrasubjektivität. Die Studie analysiert die Bedeutungen und Funktionen des Begriffs in Kants Gesamtwerk, wobei sie Kants Einteilung der Philosophie folgt: Sie untersucht den sensus communis logicus im theoretischen Bereich, den sensus communis aestheticus im ästhetischen Bereich und den sensus communis practicus im praktischen Bereich.

    From where do voices appeal to us? Where are they calling us to gather? Striking stage productions illustrate how voices create places - or disperse them. Stimmen schweben immer in einem Dazwischen. Sie übertragen nicht nur Sprache, sondern lassen als Spur auch vernehmen, woher sie ertönen, und rufen die Hörenden dorthin auf. Zugleich werden diese Orte jedoch aufgelöst. Stimmen lassen uns dabei ihre eigene Ortlosigkeit vernehmen. Anhand von Analysen von Theaterinszenierungen von Masataka Matsuda, Jossi Wieler, Robert Wilson und Jan Lauwers zeigt Mariko Harigai: Das Theater macht die Entstehungs- und Auflösungsprozesse solcher Orte durch Stimmen spürbar.

    Introduction -- 1 Authorial Irresponsibility: Hemingway’s “The Battler” and Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” -- 2 The Benevolence of Self-Sacrifice: Kenosis in William Faulkner’s Light in August -- 3 William Faulkner, John Bowlby and Strains of Familial Attachment in Pylon -- 4 Egoistic Hedonism: Thomas Sutpen’s Dubious Guide to an Ignoble End in Absalom, Absalom! -- 5 The Moral Mathematics of Strategic Games in The Unvanquished -- 6 The Gifted Presence of Intruder in the Dust -- 7 A Fable: Buchwald’s Disfiguring of Faulkner’s Modernisms -- Conclusion: The Levine Shadow. ‘Early Faulkner criticism often followed the trajectory of Faulkner’s life, sometimes simply assuming that life had a moral compass. Later schools, for example historical materialism, sought the ‘substratum’ of material reality that underpinned the narrative, again only assuming that issues, such as the nature and economics of labor, had moral implications. Psychology, anthropology, mythology—all have had their day, often very useful days, often touching on ethical issues—but what has been lacking is ethics itself. Michael Wainwright’s Faulkner’s Ethics: An Intense Struggle will end that neglect and, I believe, spur a new interest in moral struggle, moral direction as it can be found in Faulkner’s life and literature.’ - Charles A. Peek, Professor Emeritus, Department of English, University of Nebraska Kearney, USA This book offers the first comprehensive investigation of ethics in the canon of William Faulkner. As the fundamental framework for its analysis of Faulkner’s fiction, this study draws on The Methods of Ethics, the magnum opus of the utilitarian philosopher Henry Sidgwick. While Faulkner’s Ethics does not claim that Faulkner read Sidgwick’s work, this book traces Faulkner’s moral sensitivity. It argues that Faulkner’s language is a moral medium that captures the ways in which people negotiate the ethical demands that life places on them. Tracing the contours of this evolving medium across six of the author’s major novels, it explores the basic precepts set out in The Methods of Ethics with the application of more recent contributions to moral philosophy, especially those of Jacques Derrida and Derek Parfit. .

    1. Attractive Screens -- 2. Microbe Computing -- 3. Vegetative Games -- 4. Worldwide Fungi -- 5. Social Petworks -- 6. Human Tribes -- 7. Becoming Humidity. “Stupid but cute, distracted and fungal, burned out and playful: this is an inventive and sometimes mischevious media theory that embraces ecology, artifice and delight to propose an art of living with the internet we know today.” –Matthew Fuller, Professor of Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London This book develops a philosophy of the predominant yet obtrusive aspects of digital culture, arguing that what seems like insignificant distractions of digital technology - such as video games, mindless browsing, cute animal imagery, political memes, and trolling - are actually keyed into fundamental aspects of evolution. These elements are commonly framed as distractions in an economy of attention and this book approaches them with the prospect of understanding their attraction, from the starting point of diversions. Diversions designate not simply shifting states of attention but characterize the direction of any system on a different course, a theoretical perspective which makes it possible to investigate distractions as not only by-products of contemporary media and human attention. The perspective shifts from distractions as the unwanted and inconsequential to considering instead the function of diversions in the process of evolutionary development. Grounded in media theory but drawing from diverse interdisciplinary perspectives in biology, philosophy, and systems theory, this book provocatively theorizes the process of diversions – of the playful, stupid, cute, and funny – as significant for the evolution of a range of organisms. Andreas Ervik holds a PhD in Media studies from the University of Oslo, Norway. He is an independent researcher and artist.

    Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: The Epicurean and Lucretian Slur: Francis Bacon -- Chapter 3: The Epicurean and Lucretian Slur: Isaac Newton -- Chapter 4: Simulacra and the Selfhood -- Chapter 5: Urizenic Phantasiae -- Chapter 6: The Cosmic Chains of the Machina Mundi. “Blake and Lucretius: The Atomistic Materialism of the Selfhood belongs both to the new field of Romanticism and Science and to an older current of esoteric source studies in Blake. Schouten de Jel argues that a number of interconnected patterns of imagery by which the poet delineates the fallen world and its deficits, are drawn from Epicurean and Lucretian tradition, much of it as adopted or reshaped in European intellectual history of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. The book is a treasure-trove of scholarship. It both demonstrates the systematicity and consistency of Blake’s imagery and illuminates it, making us see familiar language in a novel and enriching context. Blake’s rocks, watches, revolutions and sunflowers take on a new saliency and a new halo of associations.” —Laura Quinney, Professor of English, Brandeis University, USA This book demonstrates the way in which William Blake aligned his idiosyncratic concept of the Selfhood – the lens through which the despiritualised subject beholds the material world – with the atomistic materialism of the Epicurean school as it was transmitted through the first-century BC Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura. By addressing this philosophical debt, this study sets out a threefold re-evaluation of Blake’s work: to clarify the classical stream of Blake’s philosophical heritage through Lucretius; to return Blake to his historical moment, a thirty-year period from 1790 to 1820 which has been described as the second Lucretian moment in England; and to employ a new exegetical model for understanding the phenomenological parameters and epistemological frameworks of Blake’s mythopoeia. Accordingly, it is revealed that Blake was not only aware of classical atomistic cosmogony and sense-based epistemology but that he systematically mapped postlapsarian existence onto an Epicurean framework. Joshua Schouten de Jel is a recent doctoral graduate from the University of Plymouth, UK. He is the author of articles on William Blake, Mary Shelley, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

    Jonathan Sheehan, UC Berkeley:Why are the arts and literature such crucial spaces for the modern cultivation of human freedom? Dorothea von Mücke gives this question a remarkable history, revealing how and why aesthetics became so fundamental to Western ideals of creativity, responsibility, and autonomy. Moving nimbly across theology, moral philosophy, natural philosophy, and print culture--and engaging a host of eighteenth-century literary figures from the familiar to the unknown - her book charts how the Enlightenment made artistic creativity in the very marker of humanity itself. David Bates, UC Berkeley:If the legacy of the Enlightenment has been endlessly debated, its origins are hardly well understood. Here, with great precision and elegance, Dorothea von Mucke traces the fundamental religious underpinnings of some key secular achievements of eighteenth-century culture, namely aesthetics, the individual, and the public sphere. This prepares the way for some rather unexpected -- and convincing -- readings of key Enlightenment texts. The reader emerges with a profound sense of how our secularism has been shaped from its inception by theological forms of thought, a timely consideration. David E. Wellbery, University of Chicago:This risk-taking, cliché-breaking book embodies the virtues of the writers it studies. Lessing, Rousseau, Kant, Herder, and Goethe come alive in its pages as the inventors of a new apprehension of art, as explorers of interiority, as the creators of a critical public. Synthetic vision, astonishing breadth of learning, and richly textured analysis combine to produce a study of remarkable power and subtlety. E Rethinking the relationship between eighteenth-century pietistic traditions and Enlightenment thought and practice, The Practices of Enlightenment unravels the complex and often neglected religious origins of modern secular discourse. Mapping surprising routes of exchange between the religious and aesthetic writings of the period and recentering concerns of authorship and audience, this book revitalizes scholarship on the Enlightenment.The study engages with three critical categories: aesthetics, authorship, and the public sphere, tracing the relationship between religious and aesthetic modes of reflective contemplation, autobiography and the hermeneutics of the self, and the discursive creation of the public sphere. Focusing largely on German intellectual life, this critical engagement also extends to France through Rousseau and to England through Shaftesbury. Rereading canonical works and lesser-known texts by Goethe, Lessing, and Herder, the book challenges common narratives recounting the rise of empiricist philosophy, the idea of the "sensible" individual, and the notion of the modern author as celebrity, bringing new perspective to the Enlightenment concepts of instinct, drive, genius, and the public sphere

    Mediale Prozesse sind nicht nur bloße Mittel zur Darstellung und Simulation von Architektur, sondern selbst an der Herstellung von Architektur beteiligt. Die Beiträge des Bandes widmen sich dieser generativen und aktiven Funktion von Medien in Architekturtheorie und -praxis, die als Media Agency bezeichnet wird. Ziel ist es, die Funktion von Medien in Designprozessen zu überdenken, neu zu bewerten und eine Integration von analogen und digitalen Dimensionen anzustreben.

    Richard Eldridge explores the ability of dense and formally interesting literature to respond to the complexities of modern life. Beyond simple entertainment, difficult modern works cultivate reflective depth and help their readers order and interpret their lives as subjects in relation to complex economies and technological systems. By imagining themselves in the role of the protagonist or the authorial persona, readers become immersed in structures of sustained attention, under which concrete possibilities of meaningful life, along with difficulties that block their realization, are tracked

    "Among his generation of intellectuals, the eighteenth-century German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder is recognized both for his innovative philosophy of language and history and for his passionate criticism of racism, colonialism, and imperialism. A student of Immanuel Kant, Herder challenged the idea that anyone--even the philosophers of the Enlightenment--could have a monopoly on truth. In Herder: Aesthetics against Imperialism, John K. Noyes plumbs the connections between Herder's anti-imperialism, often acknowledged but rarely explored in depth, and his epistemological investigations. Noyes argues that Herder's anti-rationalist epistemology, his rejection of universal conceptions of truth, knowledge, and justice, constitutes the first attempt to establish not just a moral but an epistemological foundation for anti-imperialism. Engaging with the work of postcolonial theorists such Dipesh Chakrabarty and Gayatri Spivak, this book is a valuable reassessment of Enlightenment anti-imperialism that demonstrates Herder's continuing relevance to postcolonial studies today."--(Provided by publisher.)

    Zusammenfassung: "Anne Enright has publicly evidenced gender imbalance in publishing mentioning that men mostly praise books written by men. ANNE ENRIGHT. Feminine Aesthetics: Writing, Mothering, Spiraling claims that Enright advocates for this cause by giving voice, in her literature, to those she considers the most repressed in the society she reports to. By telling stories of pregnancy, mothers, daughters and grandmothers, she empowers women, opens up possibilities for the future and give expression to opinions long buried. ANNE ENRIGHT. Feminine Aesthetics: Writing, Mothering, Spiraling retraces most of Enright's prose and it comes up with an original account of her aesthetics: Enright writes in a spiral, her works reveals a spiraling aesthetics in which the spiral is feminine and it lifts women's reputation up. In this aesthetical process, the author uses narrative strategies to guide the reader in a circular-upward progression towards social self-awareness. In reading Enright's literary texts, the individual is led to perceive a self-reflection by exploring the inner self and the body of her characters. Then, carried by the spiral, the narrative promotes an elevation of the reader towards self-awareness of his or her materiality immersed in a great realm of human relations"--(Provided by publisher.)

    1. Introduction -- 2. Schopenhauer: Resignation, Compassion, and Narrative -- 3. Debates on Pessimism in Late Nineteenth-Century France -- 4. Pessimism and the Novel: Fiction and the “As-If” -- 5. Pessimism and the Poetic Imagination -- 6. Conclusion: Living Well with Pessimism, Then and Now. This book traces the emergence of modern pessimism in nineteenth-century France and examines its aesthetic, epistemological, ethical, and political implications. It explores how, since pessimism as a worldview is not empirically verifiable, writers on pessimism shift the discussion to verisimilitude, opening up rich territory for cross-fertilization between philosophy and literature. The book traces debates on pessimism in the nineteenth century among French nonfiction writers who either lauded its promotion of compassion or condemned it for being a sick and unliveable attempt at renunciation. It then examines the way novelists and poets take up and transform these questions by portraying characters in lived situations that serve as testing grounds for the merits or limitations of pessimism. The debate on pessimism that emerged in the nineteenth century is still very much with us, and this book offers an interhistorical argument for embracing pessimism as a way of living well in the world, aesthetically, ethically, and politically.

    Introduction -- 1 Authorial Irresponsibility: Hemingway’s “The Battler” and Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” -- 2 The Benevolence of Self-Sacrifice: Kenosis in William Faulkner’s Light in August -- 3 William Faulkner, John Bowlby and Strains of Familial Attachment in Pylon -- 4 Egoistic Hedonism: Thomas Sutpen’s Dubious Guide to an Ignoble End in Absalom, Absalom! -- 5 The Moral Mathematics of Strategic Games in The Unvanquished -- 6 The Gifted Presence of Intruder in the Dust -- 7 A Fable: Buchwald’s Disfiguring of Faulkner’s Modernisms -- Conclusion: The Levine Shadow. ‘Early Faulkner criticism often followed the trajectory of Faulkner’s life, sometimes simply assuming that life had a moral compass. Later schools, for example historical materialism, sought the ‘substratum’ of material reality that underpinned the narrative, again only assuming that issues, such as the nature and economics of labor, had moral implications. Psychology, anthropology, mythology—all have had their day, often very useful days, often touching on ethical issues—but what has been lacking is ethics itself. Michael Wainwright’s Faulkner’s Ethics: An Intense Struggle will end that neglect and, I believe, spur a new interest in moral struggle, moral direction as it can be found in Faulkner’s life and literature.’ - Charles A. Peek, Professor Emeritus, Department of English, University of Nebraska Kearney, USA This book offers the first comprehensive investigation of ethics in the canon of William Faulkner. As the fundamental framework for its analysis of Faulkner’s fiction, this study draws on The Methods of Ethics, the magnum opus of the utilitarian philosopher Henry Sidgwick. While Faulkner’s Ethics does not claim that Faulkner read Sidgwick’s work, this book traces Faulkner’s moral sensitivity. It argues that Faulkner’s language is a moral medium that captures the ways in which people negotiate the ethical demands that life places on them. Tracing the contours of this evolving medium across six of the author’s major novels, it explores the basic precepts set out in The Methods of Ethics with the application of more recent contributions to moral philosophy, especially those of Jacques Derrida and Derek Parfit. .
