September 1993Herr Paul
Ein Stück
by Tankred Dorst, Ursula Ehler
Soviel Anfang war noch nie! - Oder doch? - Oder ist endgültig Schluß mit den Anfängen? Niemand jedenfalls scheint mit Anfängen noch viel anfangen zu können, und am Ende vielleicht sollte man von Anfang an die ›Stunde Null‹ grundsätzlich nur als Endpunkt einer Katastrophenzeit verstehen. So würde unter allen Neubeginn sogleich ein Schlußstrich gezogen. - Zunächst aber beginnt die Sache ganz harmlos: Herr Paul verkörpert Kontinuität, Standhaftigkeit und Konsequenz. Herr Paul lebt seit Jahrzehnten in einer zerfallenden Fabrik, geht niemals auf die Straße und verweigert jede Arbeit. Herr Paul kennt das Leben, ohne die Welt je gesehen zu haben. Herr Paul leistet nichts, Herr Paul leidet nicht, Herr Paul scheint recht zufrieden.Herr Helm dagegen lechzt nach Veränderung. Leistung ist sein Credo, Dynamik seine Passion. Helm hat geerbt und strebt nun danach, sein Glück zu machen: Die alte Seifenfabrik soll zur Großwäscherei umgebaut werden. Voll Aufbruchstimmung will Helm ins satte Menschenleben greifen, wo sich so viel tut, da muß auch er noch tätig sein. Aber: Herr Helm hat kein Geld, statt dessen hat er ein Problem: Herrn Paul.

Drei Haftungsregime für künstliche Intelligenz
by Anna Beckers, Gunther Teubner
Wer trägt das Risiko, wenn künstlicher Intelligenz – etwa ChatGPT – schadensträchtige Fehler unterlaufen? Wenn die beteiligten Menschen sorgfältig gehandelt haben, haftet nach geltendem Recht – niemand. Um dieser gravierenden Verantwortungslücke zu begegnen, entwerfen Anna Beckers und Gunther Teubner drei rechtliche Haftungsregime, für die sie Erkenntnisse aus der Soziologie sowie der Moral- und der Technikphilosophie heranziehen: Prinzipal-Agenten-Haftung für Handlungen autonomer Software-Agenten (»Aktanten«), Netzwerkhaftung für verdichtete Mensch-KI-Interaktionen (»Hybride«) und fondbasierte Entschädigung für vernetzte KI-Systeme (»Schwärme«). Ein bahnbrechender Lösungsvorschlag für eine hochaktuelle Problematik.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2023Critical theory and legal autopoiesis
The case for societal constitutionalism
by Gunther Teubner, Diana Göbel
This volume collects and revises the key essays of Gunther Teubner, one of the world's leading sociologists of law. Written over the past twenty years, these essays examine the 'dark side' of functional differentiation and the prospects of societal constitutionalism as a possible remedy. Teubner's claim is that critical accounts of law and society require reformulation in the light of the sophisticated diagnoses of late modernity in the writings of Niklas Luhmann, Jacques Derrida and select examples of modernist literature. Autopoiesis, deconstruction and other post-foundational epistemological and political realities compel us to confront the fact that fundamental democratic concepts such as law and justice can no longer be based on theories of stringent argumentation or analytical philosophy. We must now approach law in terms of contingency and self-subversion rather than in terms of logical consistency and rational coherence.

Geography & the EnvironmentAugust 2022Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology
A Study and Revision Guide
by J P F D'Mello
Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition in living organisms. They address implications for the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants, particulates, persistent organic compounds and radioactive emissions, then cover the impact of pollutants on biodiversity, food safety, and water contamination. This book: - Covers toxicology from human morbidity, ecological impact and biodiversity perspectives, and emphasises the impact of diverse organic pollutants in worsening these interconnected phenomena, leading to wider environmental emergencies; - Provides a selection of fill-in-the-gap, multiple choice and short answer question types for students to vary their learning and enhance motivation; - Includes full answer rationales, allowing students to gain true insight into the subject. Providing support to programmes across environmental science, ecology and human health, and covering all the major biological toxins and pollutants as well as unintended consequences of actions designed to improve outcomes, this book may be used in conjunction with the companion volume Introduction to Environmental Toxicology.

MedicineHumanity in the Crisis Zone
Field Report of a Nurse on H umanitarian Aid with Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in South Sudan
by Andreas F. Lutz
A hospital somewhere in remote South Sudan. A place where peoples’ lives are marked by extreme poverty, war, violence, the climate crisis and the daily struggle for survival. How does it feel to be human under these conditions? What moves someone to voluntarily go where nobody would want to? Andreas Lutz takes you on a journey to a project run by the humanitarian aid organization Médecins Sans Frontières in the northeast of South Sudan. Impressed by encounters with people who live under the precarious conditions of this crisis zone, he writes about his experiences as a caregiver and, among other things, about how healthcare provision works with very limited resources.
