Geographies of Cyberspace: Internet, Community, Space, and Place
2017
This chapter “Geographies of Cyberspace” discusses the term “cyberspace” in relation to the concepts of “space”, “place”, and “community” by reviewing the academic literature from human geography, sociology, and cultural anthropology. It forms the basis for the development of a phenomenological perspective on cyberspace. Instead of presenting all possible approaches towards cyberspace, this chapter discusses only those concepts that focus on the connections between on- and offline life. It proposes that cyberspace not only includes spatial and territorial metaphors , as several human geographers have pointed out, but that it is also characterised by complex geographies, which have to be exp…
The Calm Before the Storm: Hilbert’s Early Views on Foundations
2000
In recent years there has been a growing interest among historians and philosophers of mathematics in the history of logic, set theory, and foundations.1 This trend has led to a major reassessment of early work undertaken in these fields, particularly when seen in the light of motivations that animated the leading actors. The present volume may thus be seen as a reflection of this renewed fascination with the work of Hilbert, Brouwer, Weyl, Bernays, and others, an interest that stems in part from the desire to understand the historical and intellectual context that inspired their investigations. With regard to Hilbert, it has been my contention for some time that his stance in the acrimonio…
Empreintes et pistes de rhinocerotidae (Mammalia, Perissodactyla) du gisement pliocène terminal de Laetoli (Tanzanie)
1993
Resume Les traces (empreintes et pistes) des rhinoceros actuels sont tres mal connues, et une seule empreinte fossile de rhinoceros neogene ou quaternaire a ete decrite a ce jour. A Laetoli 7 sites ont livre des traces de rhinoceros, toutes attribuables au nouvel ichnogenre Dicerotinichnus; les traces des sites H, I et J ne sont pas definissables specifiquement. Les traces des sites A et N (deux pistes dont une a 26 couples d'empreintes et une a 5 couples dont certains de tres bonne qualite) permettent de definir le nouvel ichnobinome Dicerotinichnus laetoliensis nov. sp. attribue a Ceratotherium praecox. Les traces des sites M West et M East (deux pistes a 4 et 8 couples d'empreintes et 4 …
On the Relationship Between “Education” and “Critical Thinking”
2019
In view of recent international efforts to identify and measure the ability “critical thinking,” this paper attempts to trace and reconstruct the core meaning of this concept in the light of its conceptual history in the German terminology of educational philosophy and research. In doing so, it becomes evident that it is necessary to clarify the relationship between “critical thinking” and “education,” both understood as terms designating a mental state. In German as well as in English educational research, it seems to be the prevailing view that “critical thinking” is a partial meaning, a facet, of “education” (in the sense of “being well educated”). The German language, however, different…
Who Linked Hegel’s Philosophy with the History of Mathematics?
2018
Standard histories of mathematics are filled with names, dates, and results, but seldom do we find much attention paid to the contexts in which mathematics was made or past achievements recorded. Yet by widening the net, one can easily retrieve many interesting examples that reveal how mathematicians thought about these matters and much else besides. This column deals with one such person – whose identity readers are hereby challenged to uncover – in order to illustrate in a particularly striking way the potential confluence of mathematical and philosophical ideas. The sources to which I allude below are all in print and readily accessible, so I have reason to hope that these hints will lea…
The Foundations of Projective Geometry in Italy from De Paolis to Pieri
2002
In this paper we examine the contributions of the Italian geometrical school to the Foundations of Projective Geometry. Starting from De Paolis' work we discuss some papers by Segre, Peano, Veronese, Fano and Pieri. In particular we try to show how a totally abstract and general point of view was clearly adopted by the Italian scholars many years before the publication of Hilbert's Grundlagen. We are particularly interested in the interrelations between the Italian and the German schools (mainly the influence of Staudt's and Klein's works). We try also to understand the reason of the steady decline of the Italian school during the twentieth century.
Leitbilder im Recht: Grenzen der Ordnung – Chancen der Unordnung
2018
„Guiding principles“ as topoi in German juridical discourse are mainly analyzed with regard to their relation to familiar dogmatic and methodological categories. This article suggests engaging with a deconstructing, psychoanalysis-inspired approach to the guiding principles of legal discourse.
William J. Morgan’s ‘conventionalist internalism’ approach. Furthering internalism? A critical hermeneutical response
2014
Several authors, such as William J. Morgan, John S. Russell and R. Scott Kretchmar, have claimed that the limits between the diverse normative theories of sport need to be revisited. Most of these works are philosophically grounded in Anglo-American philosophical approaches. For instance, William J. Morgan’s proposal is mainly based on Richard Rorty’s philosophy. But he also discusses with some European philosophers like Jurgen Habermas. However, Habermas’ central ideas are rejected by Morgan. The purpose of this paper is to analyse Morgan’s rejection of Habermas’ thought and show that a more appropriate normative of sport that explains better our current sporting world can be achieved by d…

When Message, Editing and Publication Become Visible. On the Poetics of Digital Webwriting In his article, Niemi-Pynttari discusses the poetics of Digital webwriting. The focus of the article lies on the poetics of mediating and editing relations. Based on German hermeneutics and media philosophy, the article covers three different areas of research. The first objective is to reveal how the study of communication has so far overlooked the poetic level. Criticism is aimed, above all, at the way in which the field of hermeneutics has tended to ignore the emergence of the message (angelos) as a poetic-religious event. The second part of the article demonstrates how webwriting has taken on aspe…
La noción de prejuicio en la obra de Immanuel Kan
2014
The notion of prejudice occupies a not very visible place in the Kantian works. In fact it has been seldom treated in Kantian studies in German, English, French, Italian or Spanish. But it connects with relevant key notes of the Critique of Pure Reason (1781, 1787) as well as from the Critique of Practical Reason (1788) and the Critique of Judgement (1790). The aim of this paper consists in the analysis of the Kantian notion of prejudice, its systematic place and its sources (among these particularly the works of Georg Friedrich Meier and the thought of Christian Thomasius).
