Selbstgefühl: Kann Selbstbewusstsein als Gefühl verstanden werden?
by Gerhard KreuchDiese Monographie bietet neue Einblicke in die Verbindung zwischen Selbstbewusstsein und Emotion. Sie konzentriert sich auf die Frage, was uns die grundlegenden "Gefühle des Seins" über uns selbst sagen. Die Ergebnisse bereichern die Philosophie der menschlichen Affektivität und tragen dazu bei, ein neues Licht auf einige dringende, aktuelle Probleme zu werfen. Der Autor versucht, das Selbstbewusstsein als ein affektives Phänomen zu verstehen, nämlich als Selbstgefühl. Er identifiziert es als ein präreflexives, präpropositionales, körperliches Gefühl, das unseren Möglichkeitsraum formt. Es ist die affektive Offenlegung der individuellen Existenz. Seine Darstellung überwindet die Schwierigkeiten des unendlichen Regresses und der bösartigen Zirkularität, mit denen reflexive (oder übergeordnete) Darstellungen des Selbstbewusstseins zu kämpfen haben. Gleichzeitig hilft sie, eine Brücke zwischen der grundlegenden Ebene des Selbstbewusstseins und der höheren Ebene der substanzielleren Gedanken über sich selbst zu schlagen. Der Titel befasst sich mit grundlegender Affektivität, Matthew Ratcliffes Theorie der existentiellen Gefühle, Merkmalen des Selbstgefühls sowie Angemessenheit und Unangemessenheit in der Selbstinterpretation. Außerdem werden die Beiträge der Heidelberger Schule des Selbstbewusstseins zu den aktuellen Debatten erörtert. Der Titel bietet Studenten und Forschern einen einzigartigen Einblick in so wichtige philosophische Fragen wie: Was ist Selbst-Bewusstsein? Wie können wir uns selbst erkennen? Er wird auch ein breiteres Publikum ansprechen, das sich für das Selbstbewusstsein und/oder die menschliche Affektivität interessiert, da er keine Kenntnis des Fachjargons voraussetzt.
Selbstreferenzielle Verwaltung: Überlegungen zu einer (System-)Theorie der öffentlichen Verwaltung (Theorie und Praxis der öffentlichen Verwaltung)
by Edwin CzerwickIm Mittelpunkt des Buches steht die Konzeptualisierung der öffentlichen Verwaltung als ein selbstreferenzielles soziales System. Die allgemeinen theoretischen Grundlagen der Selbstreferenz als administratives Handlungsprinzip beruhen auf einer Synthese zwischen der soziologischen Systemtheorie, der Komplexitätstheorie und dem Funktionalismus. Wissenschaftstheoretisch findet die administrative Selbstreferenz im Radikalen Konstruktivismus mit seiner analytischen "Figur" des Beobachters ihre Begründung. Selbstreferenz lässt sich auf allen administrativen Ebenen und Bereichen in unterschiedlicher Ausprägung beobachten, wie z.B. im Gedächtnis, in der Kultur, im Zeitmanagement, in der Informationskonstruktion oder in der Kommunikation der Verwaltung. Die zentrale Bedeutung der selbstreferenziellen Operationen der Verwaltung besteht darin, dass sie als ein selbstreferenzielles soziales System nicht von ihren Umwelten gesteuert werden kann und sich mithin ihnen auch nicht anpassen muss. Vielmehr passt sich die Verwaltung ihre Umwelten gemäß ihren selbstreferenziellen Prämissen und Möglichkeiten an.

Die Beiträge rücken dabei häufig nicht nur theoretische Dimensionen, sondern auch konkrete Anwendungskontexte ins Zentrum ihrer Ausführungen.
Selbstverständnisse der Philosophiedidaktik zwischen Fachphilosophie und Interdisziplinarität: Festschrift für Bettina Bussmann (Philosophische Bildung in Schule und Hochschule)
by Markus Tiedemann Charlotte Werndl Ekkehard Martens Frank Brosow Volker Haase Philipp ThomasDieser Open Access-Band präsentiert die aktuellen Debatten über das Selbstverständnis der Philosophiedidaktik, ihre Beziehung zur Fachphilosophie und den Stellenwert bzw. das Wesen der Interdisziplinarität. Dies betrifft zum einen die Innenperspektive der Fachdidaktik selbst. Neben den klassischen Arbeitsfeldern auf der theoretisch-konzeptionellen, der methodisch-praktischen und der empirisch-kritischen Ebene entstehen immer neue Teilbereiche der Philosophiedidaktik. Gleichzeitig wachsen von Seiten der Fachphilosophie sowohl Wertschätzung als auch Erwartungshaltung bezüglich der Fachdidaktik. Die hieraus resultierenden Aushandlungsprozesse sind immer auch mit der Frage nach Interdisziplinarität und dem thematischen und methodischen Proprium der Philosophie bzw. der Philosophiedidaktik verbunden. War Philosophie schon immer inter- bzw. metadisziplinär? Sollte philosophische Bildung immer nach Interdisziplinarität streben, oder geraten methodische und thematische Spezifika auf diese Weise in Gefahr?

Selected Political Speeches
by CiceroAmid the corruption and power struggles of the collapse of the Roman Republic, Cicero (106-43BC) produced some of the most stirring and eloquent speeches in history. A statesman and lawyer, he was one of the only outsiders to penetrate the aristocratic circles that controlled the Roman state, and became renowned for his speaking to the Assembly, Senate and courtrooms. Whether fighting corruption, quashing the Catiline conspiracy, defending the poet Archias or railing against Mark Antony in the Philippics - the magnificent arguments in defence of liberty which led to his banishment and death - Cicero's speeches are oratory masterpieces, vividly evocative of the cut and thrust of Roman political life.
Selected Political Speeches of Cicero
by Michael GrantCicero's political speeches remain immensely important for a variety of reasons. They are a mine of information about one of the most significant periods in the history of the world. They are transcripts of the most successful and persuasive oratory ever delivered, belonging to an age when oratory was the major activity of civil life and the nucleus of the educational system. They help to reveal the man who was this preeminent orator and who also played a prominent part in the seething, ominous political scene, a person of extraordinary character whom we are able to get to know intimately. Moreover, his works have continued to exercise a decisive influence on the minds of men throughout the intervening ages.

Selected Satires of Lucian
by Lionel CassonThe unsurpassed satirist of the ancient era was a young Syrian named Lucian, who, writing in Greek in the second century a.d., combined wit, irony, fearless candor, and exuberant comic fantasy to create the triumphantly irreverent dialogues and stories contained in this book. His genial mockery, aimed at man's omnipresent feelings, has never gone out of date. The jabs he gave the hypocrites; grandstanders, fakers and boobs of the ancient world can just as appropriately be administered to their counterparts in the modern world.Lucian's most typical genre is a parody of a Platonic dialogue, in which Zeus, Hermes, Eros, and other Olympians jabber in undivine harassment as some clever mortal (who very much resembles Lucian) is about to make scandalous fools of them. He also excelled at straight narrative, his two most famous tales being the elaborate science fiction spoof; "A True Story," and an old folk tale retold outrageously, "Lucius the Ass." His works were the product of an unrelentingly rational and skeptical mind, and have had an incalculable effect on writers and painters through the ages.Until this volume, the English language reader of today to appreciate the importance and intelligence of Lucian. No volume of representative selections in translation is in print. There are satisfactory versions of the complete works, but the reader who takes this long will most likely lose a good deal of the sting of Lucian's needle. Lionel Cassen also illustrates the full range of Lucian's subject matter and various literary forms and when translating tried to focus on the Greek spirit as opposed to the literal meaning.

Selected Writings
by Meister EckhartComposed during a critical time in the evolution of European intellectual life, the works of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1327) are some of the most powerful medieval attempts to achieve a synthesis between ancient Greek thought and the Christian faith. Writing with great rhetorical brilliance, Eckhart combines the neoplatonic concept of oneness - the idea that the ultimate principle of the universe is single and undivided - with his Christian belief in the Trinity, and considers the struggle to describe a perfect God through the imperfect medium of language. Fusing philosophy and religion with vivid originality and metaphysical passion, these works have intrigued and inspired philosophers and theologians from Hegel to Heidegger and beyond.
Selected Writings (World's Classics Ser.)
by Thomas AquinasIn his reflections on Christianity, Saint Thomas Aquinas forged a unique synthesis of ancient philosophy and medieval theology. Preoccupied with the relationship between faith and reason, he was influenced both by Aristotle's rational world view and by the powerful belief that wisdom and truth can ultimately only be reached through divine revelation. Thomas's writings, which contain highly influential statements of fundamental Christian doctrine, as well as observations on topics as diverse as political science, anti-Semitism and heresy, demonstrate the great range of his intellect and place him firmly among the greatest medieval philosophers.
