        Philosophie und Begründung

        Herausgegeben vom Forum für Philosophie, Bad Homburg. Wolfgang R. Köhler, Wolfgang Kuhlmann und Peter Rohs

        by Peter Rohs, Wolfgang R. Köhler, Wolfgang Kuhlmann, Forum für Philosophie Bad Homburg, Wolfgang Kuhlmann

        Das allgemeine Klima ist gegenwärtig für eine Philosophie des Kantischen Typs, sei sie verstanden als Philosophie, die zentriert ist um das Rechtfertigungsproblem und die entsprechenden Disziplinen – Erkenntniskritik, Sprachkritik, Logik, Wissenschaftstheorie –, sei es auch nur begriffen als Philosophie, die dem Rechtfertigungsproblem und den entsprechenden Disziplinen relativ großes Gewicht einräumt, bei weitem nicht mehr so günstig wie noch vor etwa zwanzig Jahren. Sowohl die Möglichkeit wie auch Sinn und Nutzen philosophischer Grundlegungsversuche, philosophischer Begründung oder gar Letztbegründung wurden wirkungsvoll von den an Einfluß ständig gewinnenden Strömungen der Hermeneutik, des Neopragmatismus, des Neokonstrukturalismus, des radikalen Fallibilismus in Frage gestellt und mit alledem zugleich die bisher vorherrschenden Konzeptionen von Philosophie als (z. B. transzendental-philosophischer oder auch formalsemantischer) Grundlagendisziplin, von Philosophie als – der Idee nach – strenger Wissenschaft, oder auch nur von Philosophie als Kritik. Das ist Grund genug, dem Problem »Philosophie und Begründung«, der Frage also nach der Möglichkeit philosophischer Begründung und dem Sinn von Begründung für die Philosophie, ja für den Begriff von Rationalität, gesondert nachzugehen.

        Martin Heidegger: Innen- und Außenansichten

        Herausgegeben vom Forum für Philosophie Bad Homburg

        by Peter Rohs, Forum für Philosophie Bad Homburg, Siegfried Blasche, Wolfgang R. Köhler, Wolfgang Kuhlmann

        Der hundertste Geburtstag Martin Heideggers im Jahre 1989 wird durch die häufig vordergründig geführten personalisierten Kontroversen um dessen politisches Engagement für die nationalsozialistische Bewegung überschattet. Es hieße, die immer noch, jedenfalls im philosophischen Lebensfalle, zu unterstellende Einheit von personaler Entscheidung und werkimmanenter Aussage zu verletzen, wollte man Heidegger im Zuge einer eingeschränkten Entmündigung allein durch den Hinweis auf seine außer Frage stehende philosophiegeschichtliche Bedeutung gewissermaßen »entlasten«. Das Verständnis und erst recht die Beurteilung seiner »Entscheidung« im Jahre 1933 muß den weitgespannten Ausgang am Werk selbst nehmen, und zwar in dessen Bedingungen, seinen Kerngedanken und an der Relation zu gleichzeitigen, konkurrierenden philosophischen Denkansätzen. – Die Beiträge dieses Bandes vereinigen im Horizont von Heideggers Antwort auf das »Ereignis des Führers« (Ebeling) »Innenansichten« (Gethmann, Kettering, Merker, Mörchen, Seel), Bedingungs- und Rezeptionsanalysen (Apel, Barash, Pöggeler) und Untersuchungen zum Verhältnis der Philosophien Heideggers, Adornos und der Postmoderne (Brunkhorst, Früchtl, Polti).

        Kants transzendentale Deduktion und die Möglichkeit von Transzendentalphilosophie

        by Peter Rohs, Forum für Philosophie Bad Homburg, Siegfried Blasche, Wolfgang R. Köhler, Wolfgang Kuhlmann, Wolfgang R. Köhler

        Man bemüht sich, Kants schwierige Gedankengänge mit den inzwischen gewonnenen begrifflichen Mitteln zu entwirren und ihnen eine überprüfbare Ordnung zu geben, um die dunkle transzendentalphilosophische Denkart gleichsam zu lichten und begrifflich zu domestizieren. Dabei erweist sich für manchen eine mehr oder minder eingreifende »Kant-Transformation« (Apel) als unumgänglich. Kant-Interpretation, Kant-Rekonstruktion und systematisches Denken gehen dabei Hand in Hand. Über den Umfang des Interesses an Kantischer Transzendentalphilosophie informiert die diesem Band beigegebene Bibliographie.

        Bad Roads

        by Nataliia Vorozhbyt

        Nataliia Vorozhbyt became famous when she worked as a screenwriter on the cult TV series To Catch the Kaidash, based on the life of the Ukrainian classic writer Nechuy-Levytsky, and even played a role in it as a supporting actress. Her play Bad Roads was written for the Royal Court Theatre in London; it was also staged by the Kyiv Academic Theatre of Drama and Comedy and later adapted into a hit film. Bad Roads consists of six episodes: they are the stories of ordinary men and women whose fate brought them to Donbas during the Russo-Ukrainian war. Some episodes have even shocked audiences, like the episode where a naked eighth-grade schoolgirl is found in a military dugout. Disputes over Bad Roads are still raging, but they only manage to increase interest in Vorozhbyt’s work.

        Managing Risk in Agriculture

        A Development Perspective

        by Ashok K. Mishra, Subal C. Kumbhakar, Gudbrand Lien

        The book addresses and documents farmers' risks in developing and emerging economies. It draws lessons from experimental economics on measuring risk preferences, attitudes, gender differences in managing risks, and risk management strategies in countries across Africa and Asia. It argues policy makers, especially in emerging economies, need a better understanding of farmers' attitudes toward risk and choices of risk management strategies when designing policies to support production agriculture. The book includes chapters on three themes: understanding risk attitudes and preferences; using experimental economics to measure risk, preferences, and risk management strategies; and understanding climate change, risk, and risk management. The book critically examines the currently held beliefs about risk preference, attitudes, and empirical estimation of risk management strategies, emphasizing developing and emerging economies (DEE). "The agricultural development space is an inherently risky one and this welcome collection belatedly helps to plug an important hole." Jock R. Anderson, Emeritus Professor of Agricultural Economics, University of New England, Armidale, Australia "Over time, agricultural production practices have evolved, as have the markets and value chains for food and agricultural products. A constant consideration, however, and one that continues to define agriculture worldwide, is risk. The risks that impinge on agriculture come in all shapes and sizes. Of course, production risks are ubiquitous. But so are market risks. And the same is true for macroeconomic and financial risks and the risks associated with an evolving climate. This book will be a valuable, comprehensive resource for any applied economist desiring to understand the risk management principles relevant to modern food and agricultural systems." Matthew Holt, Prof. and head of the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, VA, USA.

        Handbook of Phytosanitary Risk Management

        Theory and Practice

        by Charles Yoe, Robert Griffin, Stephanie Bloem

        Phytosanitary risk management is essential to the global economy as well as the world's ability to feed itself. This book is about understanding the fundamentals of phytosanitary risk management for trade and non-trade issues, and how to manage those risks in an effective and efficient manner that is consistent with the international regulatory framework. Its purpose is to provide the international phytosanitary community and its principal stakeholders with a strong foundation in risk management concepts and a thorough guide to best practices. Starting with the conceptual background necessary for understanding risk management, this book then covers a risk management model with a detailed description of the structure and processes necessary for best practice risk management in the global economy. This is followed by an in-depth look at the continuum of phytosanitary measures with a laser-like focus on key risk management issues, and the book concludes with a final section devoted to an examination of the most compelling risk management issues of the day. This book is: - A comprehensive exposition of phytosanitary risk management. - Valuable both to the experienced risk manager and to those getting started in the field. - Written by a team of experts with extensive professional phytosanitary work experience and knowledge of plant health. Written for professionals, practitioners and policy makers who work in the international trade of plants and plant products and allied fields, this book provides the global phytosanitary community and its principal stakeholders with a practical guide to best risk management practices.
