Overview: A social dilemma is a game which at first glance has only inefficient solutions. If efficient solutions are to be achieved, some kind of cooperation among the players is required. This book asks two basic questions, closely intertwined with each other: 1. How is cooperation possible among rational players in such a social dilemma? Which changes in the social context of a social dilemma situation are necessary in order for players to rationally choose the cooperative option? 2. How do real players actually behave in social dilemma situations? Do they behave "rationally" at all? Or, co

Overview: Umfassender Band zu einem zentralen philosophischen Problem der europäischen Metaphysikgeschichte.Einführung und systematischer Überblick.Eine philosophische Diskussion zwischen Antike, Mittelalter unDas Eine, das Gute, das Wahre und das Schöne – unum, bonum, verum, pulchrum – werden in der hochmittelalterlichen Philosophie als allgemeine Bestimmungen eines ungegenständlichen Seins, dessen erkennbare Spur sich in allem gegenständlich Seienden findet, verstanden.

Overview: The concept of self-handicapping can be legitimately anchored in a vari­ ety of intellectual contexts, some old and some newer. As this volume reminds us, Alfred Adler was perhaps the first to articulate the signifi­ cance of various self-defeating claims and gestures for protecting the self­ concept. Thus the apparent paradox of "defeat" in the interests of "pro­ tection. " More recently (but still more than 30 years ago), Heider‘s "naive psychology" added attributional rhetoric to the description of self-defeat­ ing strategies. While predominantly cognitive in its thrust, the attri

Overview: Brings together in one document the essential results on the stability of infinite dimensional dynamical systems.This book deals with the stabilization issue of infinite dimensional dynamical systems both at the theoretical and applications levels. Systems theory is a branch of applied mathematics, which is interdisciplinary and develops activities in fundamental research which are at the frontier of mathematics, automation and engineering sciences. It is everywhere, innumerable and daily, and moreover is there something which is not system: it is present in medicine, commerce, econo
