Overview: For some time now the philosophy of science has been undergoing a major transfor­ mation. It began when the ‘received view‘ of scientific knowledge -that developed by logical positivists and their intellectual descendants - was challenged as bearing little resemblance to and having little relevance for the understanding of real science. Subsequently, an overwhelming amount of criticism has been added. One would be hard-pressed to find anyone who would support the ‘received view‘ today. Yet, in the search for a new analysis of scientific knowledge, this view continues to exert influen

Overview: In the autumn of 1971 F. Hoffmann-La Roche & Co. Ltd in Basel celebrated their 75th anniversary. The company was one of the first in the chemical industry to concentrate from the beginning on pharmaceuticals. Step by step new activi­ ties were taken up, but all within the frontiers of biology. During the 75 years of Roche the research division has become by far the largest department in the company, with basic research assuming an increasingly important part in it. For this reason Roche cannot but feel a share of res pons i­ bility towards the many problems raised by biomedical progr

Overview: The goal of the Daniel Chalonge School on Astrofundamental Physics is to contribute to a theory of the universe (and particularly of the early universe) up to the marks, and at the scientific height of, the unprecedented accuracy, existent and expected, in the observational data. The impressive development of modern cosmology during the last decades is to a large extent due to its unification with elementary particle physics and quantum field theory. The cross-section between these fields has been increasing setting up Astrofundamental Physics. The early universe is an exceptional (t

Overview: We live in a time of functionalism, operationalism and technologism with all its levelling, depersonalising and dehumanising effects. In such an age, the question arises of philosophy as critical, reflective theory about the world, man‘s position and purpose in the world and the relationship between philosophy and man as a free individual. This book makes an attempt to give an answer to this question. It has been written from great concern as to the future destiny of mankind, in the light of various contemporary attempts at the abolition of philosophy and at merging it in practice, a

Overview: Provides a genealogy of Critical Muslim Studies.Advances our understanding of the British Muslim experience.Interrogates debates regarding Islamophobia and Orientalism.This book explains the increasing incidences and normalisation of Islamophobia, by analysing the role of signifiers of free speech, censorship, and fatwa during the .Satanic Verses .affair in problematising the figure of the Muslim. Ismail Patel develops the notion of Islamophobia not as a continuation of the antagonistic relation from the British Empire but as a postcolonial reformulation of the figure of the Muslim.

Overview: Detailed calculations of a number of concrete examples.Written for both mathematicians who want to see something of the applications of topology and geometry to modern physics.Written for physicists wThis is a book on topology and geometry and, like any books on subjects as vast as these, it has a point-of-view that guided the selection of topics. Naber takes the view that the rekindled interest that mathematics and physics have shown in each other of late should be fostered and that this is best accomplished by allowing them to cohabit. The book weaves together rudimentary notions f

Overview: The interest in the mathematical modeling of transportation systems stems from the need to predict how people might make use of new or improved transport infrastruc­ ture in order to evaluate the benefit of the required investments. To this end it is necessary to build models of the demand for transportation and models that de­ termine the way in which people who travel use the transportation network. If such models may be constructed and their validity reasonably assured, then the predic­ tion of the traffic flows on future and present transportation links may be carried out by simu

Overview: Discussing ethics applied to finance can become a trivial and selfjustifying task if left to the practical men, or a task with no connection to reality, if performed by philosophers. This book, however, turns out to be an exciting piece of work, useful, provocative, full of ideas and suggestions, as experts in ethics discuss specific issues related to the financial institutions and markets, with the men and women that carry out the daily practice in such institutions and markets, as well as with scholars of economics and finance. Thus, the book covers everything from daily subjects t

Overview: Translation und Exil (1933–1945) III fragt nach Motiven, Funktionen und Wirkungen von Übersetzungen. Exil wird oft unter dem Stichwort des Verlusts verhandelt und der Exodus von Gelehrten und Künstlerinnen beklagt. Verlässt man diese nationalstaatlich angelegte Betrachtungsweise und untersucht Personen und Gegenstände konsequent aus der Perspektive des Exils, stellt sich heraus, dass der Weg dahin mit einer Öffnung verbunden ist – hin zu anderen Räumen und neuen wissenschaftlichen wie auch literarischen Kontexten. Das führt zu einer Veränderung von Strategien.Dieser Perspektivwechsel
