        Intentionalität und Verstehen

        by Forum für Philosophie Bad Homburg

        Intentionalität gilt nicht wenigen zeitgenössischen Philosophen als das grundlegende geistige Phänomen, weshalb sie sich von seiner Analyse sogar eine »Lösung« großer metaphysischer Probleme erhoffen, wie zum Beispiel des Leib-Seele-Problems oder des ursemantischen Problems, woher Laute und Zeichen eine Bedeutung erlangen. Es könnte scheinen, als hätte eine Theorie der Intentionalität gegenwärtig nur wegen der Künstliche-Intelligenz-Forschung Konjunktur. Eher stellt sie indes eine philosophische Herausforderung für die kommunikationstheoretischen und transzendentalpragmatischen Ansätze in der Semantik dar. Denn diese sehen in Intentionalität nur ein Sekundärphänomen, weil ihnen zufolge alles dafür spricht, dass intersubjektiv identische Bedeutung, Vorverständnis und Verstehen die Primärphänomene darstellen.

        Speculation by Commodity Index Funds

        The Impact on Food and Energy Prices

        by Scott H. Irwin, Dwight R. Sanders

        Commodity futures prices exploded in 2007-08 and concerns about a new type of participant in commodity futures markets began to emerge. Market participants, regulators, and civic organizations began raising concerns that inflows from new "commodity index" investments were driving the increases in commodity prices instead of economic fundamentals. The main argument was that unprecedented buying pressure from these speculative long-only futures traders created massive bubbles that resulted in prices substantially exceeding fundamental value. At the time, it was not uncommon to link concerns about speculation and high prices to world hunger, food crises, and civil unrest. Naturally, this outcry resulted in numerous regulatory proposals to restrict speculation in commodity futures markets through transaction taxes, speculative position limits, and even the bizarre idea of a "virtual reserve" whereby a public agency would take futures positions opposite speculators. At the core, these assertions raised major economic questions about the efficiency of price discovery in commodity futures markets. Moreover, these so-called remedies did not come without a potential cost. Burdensome regulations would increase compliance and risk sharing costs across the global food system-lowering prices for producers and increasing costs to consumers. To guide this debate, a rigorous approach was needed to understand the dynamics between prices and commodity index activity. This book documents a curated selection of papers on the impact of index investment on commodity futures prices. The chronology of the papers roughly follows the timeline of our involvement in the world-wide debate about commodity speculation as it evolved after 2007. The 10 papers follow the evolving speculation debate with new author forwards highlighting the contribution and impact. Policy-makers, researchers, and market participants will find this not only as useful documentation of the debate; but, also a natural starting point when high commodity prices inevitably create the next speculation backlash.
