        Die Grenzen kulturwissenschaftlicher Begriffsbildung

        Heidelberger Max-Weber-Vorlesungen 1982

        by Guy Oakes

        Dieses Buch soll dazu beitragen, die philosophischen Wurzeln von Webers Methodologie freizulegen und insbesondere den Zusammenhang seiner Position mit der Wertlehre Rickerts aufzuklären. Dabei bildet die Frage nach dem Verhältnis zwischen der Begründung der kulturwissenschaftlichen Objektivität bei Weber auf der einen und Rickerts Lösung des Problems der Wertobjektivität auf der anderen Seite den Kernpunkt der Untersuchung. Anhand der Bestimmung dieses Verhältnisses soll nicht nur gezeigt werden, daß Webers Begriff der kulturwissenschaftlichen Objektivität von Voraussetzungen ausgeht, die in Rickerts Werttheorie angelegt sind, sondern auch, daß es eben diese Voraussetzungen sind, die eine plausible Lösung des Objektivitätsproblems unmöglich machen.

        Morgen war schon

        Roman

        by Guy Helminger

        Die langsame Louise träumt auf dem Sofa von einer Reise nach Neuseeland; für ihren Mann Feltzer, den Taxi fahrenden Choleriker, sind die angenehmsten Fahrgäste fünf ausgemergelte Stoffgiraffen. Man könnte es eine einigermaßen glückliche Ehe nennen. Sehnsüchte schweifen in die Ferne, der Alltag klebt hartnäckig am Hier und Heute, und ein leises Unbehagen durchzieht das Zusammenleben. Ein fremder Mann sitzt allzu traulich mit Louise auf dem Sofa. Und bleibt nach einer Fahrt in Feltzers Taxi verschwunden.

Als ein Freund der Familie eines Tages Jean zum Alleinerben seines Vermögen bestimmt, regen sich in Pierre Mißtrauen und Neid …
