September 1993Endspiele: Die unversöhnliche Moderne
Essays und Vorträge
by Albrecht Wellmer
Die Idee einer postmetaphysischen Moderne ist das gemeinsame Thema der in diesem Band enthaltenen Arbeiten Albrecht Wellmers aus den letzten fünfzehn Jahren. Die geschichtlichen Utopien in der Marxschen Tradition sind ebenso wie die Letztbegründungsprogramme in der Kantischen Tradition Endspiele innerhalb der Metaphysik, die Dekonstruktionen dieser Utopien und Letztbegründungsprogramme sind Endspiele mit der Metaphysik. Und das Spiel mit dem Ende als einem letzten Telos - der Geschichte, der Erkenntnis, des menschlichen Lebens - ist die Metaphysik.

February 1986Ethik und Dialog
Elemente des moralischen Urteils bei Kant und in der Diskursethik
by Albrecht Wellmer
Albrecht Wellmer unternimmt in seinem Buch den Versuch, Grundideen der Diskursethik aus dem Zusammenhang einer Konsenstheorie der Wahrheit, in dem sie bei Apel und Habermas stehen, herauszulösen und neu zu formulieren. Dies bedeutet zugleich eine partielle Rehabilitierung Kants wie auch eine Veränderung der Stoßrichtung der Kritik an Kant. Es soll nicht eine neue Moralphilosophie begründet werden, es sollen vielmehr Grundintuitionen der Kantischen und der an Kant anknüpfenden Moralphilosophie in einen engen Zusammenhang gebracht werden. Auf diese Weise soll gezeigt werden, daß die universalistische Ethik nicht auf die Möglichkeit einer Letztbegründung und nicht auf die Perspektive eines letzten Konsenses angewiesen ist. Durch die Herauslösung der Ethik aus dem Zusammenhang absolutistischer Begründungs- und Versöhnungsperspektiven soll zugleich die Möglichkeit eröffnet werden, die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang der verschiedenen Rationalitätsdimensionen - wissenschaftlich-technische, ästhetische, moralisch-praktische Rationalität - in einer neuen Weise zu stellen.

Humanities & Social Sciences8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS
The Defining Issue of the 21st Century
by Valorie M. Allen
The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

August 2004Sprachphilosophie
Eine Vorlesung
by Albrecht Wellmer, Thomas Hoffmann, Juliane Rebentisch, Ruth Sonderegger
Der Band geht auf zwei Vorlesungen zurück, die Albrecht Wellmer an der FU Berlin gehalten hat. Ausgangspunkt ist eine kritische Betrachtung der Theorien Wittgensteins und Davidsons aus sprachpragmatischer Perspektive, der ein Exkurs zum Verhältnis von Wahrheit und Rechtfertigung folgt. Schließlich erweitert er die sprachanalytischen Fragestellungen um eine hermeneutische Sicht auf unsere Sprachpraxis. Mit Heidegger, Gadamer und Derrida geht er dabei einerseits über die Grenzen hinaus, die durch die sprachanalytische Vorgehensweise gezogen sind, konfrontiert andererseits die Texte der »kontinentalen« Philosophie mit den zuvor aus den sprachanalytischen Ansätzen gewonnenen überlegungen. Beide Traditionslinien werden somit im Sinne einer kritisch-hermeneutischen Sprachphilosophie zusammengeführt.

December 2023Biology and Management of the Formosan Subterranean Termite and Related Species
by Nan-Yao Su, Chow-Yang Lee, Lauren Davies, Thomas Chouvenc, J. Kenneth Grace, Claudia Husseneder, Shuji Itakura, Hou-Feng Li, Nathan Lo, Kok-Boon Neoh, Wakako Ohmura, Faith M. Oi, Rudolf H. Scheffrahn, Qian Sun, Gaku Tokuda, Edward L. Vargo, Chia-Chien Wu, Koichi Yamamoto
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, is the most destructive and invasive termite species globally. It is also the only termite species listed in the world's 100 worst invasive alien species of the Global Invasive Species Database. Annually, its infestation costs more than $4 billion in control and damage repairs in the USA alone. This book is the first comprehensive resource drawing on all the literature on C. formosanus since Tokuichi Shiraki first described the species in 1909. The book covers the worldwide distribution of this species, its biogeography, and how it has dispersed from its native range in southern China and Taiwan to different parts of the world. It describes its present taxonomic status and discusses the species' biology, ecology, foraging behavior, physiology, chemical ecology and its association with symbionts. From a practical standpoint, the authors address all of the various management options for this species, such as baits, soil termiticides, wood preservatives, inspection and detection technologies, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches. Lastly, there are chapters dedicated to another important destructive species, Coptotermes gestroi (the Asian subterranean termite), and the recently discovered C. formosanus/C. gestroi hybrids. This important book is an essential and valuable reference for researchers, graduate students, pest management professionals, chemical manufacturer personnel, building and property managers, and others. It provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the biology and management of the Formosan subterranean termite and the Asian subterranean termite.
