Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One oft the most fascinating abilities of humans is the ability to become conscious of the own physical and mental states. In this systematic investigation of self-consciousness, a representational theory is developed that is able to distinguish between different levels of self-consciousness. The most basic levels are already present in such simple animals as ants. From these basic forms, which are also relevant for adult human self-consciousness, high-level self-consciousness including self-knowledge can arise. Thereby, the theory is not only able to integrate developmental considerations but also to sharply distinguish different aspects of the complex phenomenon self-consciousness. Pathological breakdowns of these different aspects, as they can be found in schizophrenia, are explained by specific impairments on different levels of self-representation. In this way, the work shows that a naturalistic theory of self-consciousness is possible, if the analysis starts with very simple and basic mechanisms instead of starting on the 'top of the iceberg'.; One oft the most fascinating abilities of humans is the ability to become conscious of the own physical and mental states.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Seeing with poetic eyes' is a phrase used by a teacher to describe one of his students, a teenager who could recognize the disconnect between U. S. society's claims about racial equity and its actual commitment towards that equity. As a teacher, he saw it as his mission to help all of his students see the world in such a critical way with that hope that they would be motivated to pursue antiracism more actively in their lives. In this book, I discuss how critical race theory (CRT) can motivate research on race in sociology of education in a similar way. Specifically, I describe how CRT helped me work with seven white teachers on developing more critical understandings of race. In my ethnographic interviews with these teachers, the analytical tools of CRT gave me a way to openly dialogue with them about issues of race in education. I was able to not only learn from the teachers but also work with them on developing racial awareness. Instead of relying on more liberal forms of sociological research--where the researcher extracts data from participants--CRT helped me promote a more critical approach, one where the researcher and participants work together to actively pursue antiracism in the research act itself. So 'seeing with poetic eyes' refers the way that I have come to view research as a means of antiracism. Similarly, I propose that CRT can promote such a critical approach to research on race in the field of sociology of education.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Vor 70 Jahren, am 1. September 1939, erhielt die deutsche Wehrmacht den Befehl zum Einmarsch in Polen. Damit begann der Zweite Weltkrieg. Für insgesamt 18,2 Millionen (davon 1,3 Millionen österreichische) Männer eine Erfahrung, die ihr Leben und das ihrer Familien nachhaltig negativ beeinflusste. Nicht die Beschreibung des Kampfgeschehens steht im Zentrum dieses Buches, sondern die Darstellung der Alltagserfahrungen und Lebensgewohnheiten von Soldaten der Deutschen Wehrmacht. Ausbildung und Vorgesetzte, Freizeit und Urlaub, Krankheit und Verwundung sind ebenso Thema wie Kriegsverbrechen, Kriegspropaganda, Gefangennahme und Kriegsheimkehr. Durch eine Fülle von Originalzitaten aus Kriegstagebüchern, Memoiren, Feldpostbriefen und Zeitzeugeninterviews erhält der Leser einen differenzierten Blick auf das alltägliche Leben in der Wehrmacht. Zugleich machen sie auch deutlich, wie sehr sich die Erfahrungen und Gefühle der Soldaten voneinander unterschieden. Jeder Einzelne unter ihnen erlebte seine spezifische, höchst persönliche Kriegswirklichkeit. Davon gibt dieses Buch Zeugnis und vermittelt so einen lebendigen Eindruck vom Soldatenalltag im Zweiten Weltkrieg. 'Sei so lieb und schicke mir - wenn es möglich ist - zwei Block von diesem Briefpapier. [.] Mit diesem Wunsch wende ich mich an Dich, da diese Blocks in Krems am leichtesten erhältlich sind. [.] Ich muss sie in der Kartentasche unterbringen können.'.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ascertaining the nature and scope of a priori knowledge is of key import to philosophical thought. Philosophers do not merely ponder this issue in order to solve an epistemological puzzle. Philosophers do also strive to understand the a priori in order to understand what doing philosophy amounts to. So what is the nature of a priori knowledge And is philosophy an a priori endeavour Starting off from such epistemological and meta-philosophical considerations, the papers here collected trace the import and role of a priori knowledge through the diverse disciplines of philosophy - from metaphysics to ethics, and from the philosophy of Language to the philosophy of science.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Where do we go after death What happens to us What factors influence our destiny What will happen to the world in years to come Is there a controlling divine force in human experience Is there a plan, or is life a product of random occurrences, of chance Why is it the righteous who are persecuted and suffer while the wicked seem to prosper Is there justice in the universe The book of Revelation offers answers to many of these questions. Since, however, it is one of the more difficult of the New Testament books to read and interpret, it is often overlooked, neglected or even avoided by today's Christians. Yet it addresses many prophetic issues of importance to those seeking to understand God's plan for the future. Speaking through its heavy symbolism and sometimes strange visions of heaven, angels, beasts, earthly turmoil and destruction, the Apocalypse offers hope that God will overcome evil and that he does indeed control human destiny.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Heidegger and the Question of Psychology: Zollikon and Beyond, Mark Letteri acquaints a broad readership (such as psychotherapists and counselors, not just professional philosophers) with Martin Heidegger's connections to psychology and related concerns, and offers specialists one of the few monographic treatments of the topic. He provides an accessible and relatively non-technical treatment. Keenly aware of the standard difficulties with Heidegger (whether real or perceived), Letteri endeavors to render the most relevant points in a clear and succinct way. The book serves as a companion to Heidegger's Zollikon Seminars and Being and Time as it concerns psychological and associated matters.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Have you lost a loved one The loss can be inestimable, the grief excruciating. What helped you Did someone say something comforting Did someone offer a consolation, which you resented Have you ever tried to comfort someone with a terminal illness or one who has lost a loved one Knowing how to help or what to say that is not trite, insincere, or superficial can be difficult. The point of view of a grieving person is quite different from that of those who wish to offer comfort. In a multicultural society such as ours, anticipating the beliefs of the grieving person can be even more difficult. This book explores the perspective of a grieving person. It considers the merits and potential harm of alternative comfort strategies. As a philosophical analysis of grief, it emphasizes an understanding of the beliefs that underlie grief and the usefulness or dangers of emotions. Because grief is so complex and sensitive, a narrow approach runs the risk of alienating the grieving person. The ideas in this book are expressed in a dialogue among three characters. Their discussion is broad and fundamental. Starting from the familiar consolation, 'She's no longer suffering' and the grieving person's resentment toward the expression, the three friends articulate the value of life and the evils of death. Their discussion enriches their understanding of grief. Many consolations offered to mourners are poor arguments. Even the better ones do their work best in the context of a greater understanding of grief.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of the intriguing and insufficiently understood features of Biblical Hebrew is the use of an infinitive form alongside a finite verb of the same root. The function of this construction has generally been understood as serving to provide some kind of emphasis. However, neither translations nor grammars are consistently able to explain what is being emphasized by the use of this construction. This volume, which is a revision of the author's Ph.D. dissertation at the Johns Hopkins University (2006), examines the tautological infinitive construction in Classical Biblical Hebrew (that is, the Hebrew written during the First Temple Period, more or less equivalent to the material in Genesis-2 Kings, excluding 'P') in order to give a coherent and consistent explanation of its function. In a final chapter, Kim discusses the use of the tautological infinitive in Classical Biblical Hebrew in relation to its use in non-Classical biblical texts and Semitic languages in order to set it in a broader context. …
