Die primar soziologische (Luhmannsche) Systemtheorie beginnt seit einiger Zeit auch in die Disziplinen der Literaturwissenschaft, Kunstwissenschaft und Musikwissenschaft auszustrahlen. In diesem Band werden die Konsequenzen in zwolf Beitragen erstmals auf interdisziplinarer Ebene thematisiert. Dabei geht es nicht darum, die Profilierung nur einer einzigen Adaptionsweise der Systemtheorie zu betreiben, sondern ganz unterschiedliche Tendenzen systemtheoretisch inspirierten Arbeitens in den Geisteswissenschaften zu beleuchten."

After an introduction charting the remarkable flowering of German-language thought since the eighteenth century, it offers extracts - in the original German - from sixteen major philosophical texts, with...

Few figures have had as much influence on Western thought as Sigmund Freud. His ideas permeate our culture to such a degree that an understanding of them is indispensable.

Written specifically for use by advanced undergraduate and graduate students in...

In einer Fallstudie zur Goethe-Rezeption des Jungen Deutschland werden die literaturhistoriographischen Implikationen dieses Verstandnisses von Kommunikation...

Over the last 40 years the concept of judgment and decision making received increasing attention from both scholars and the professional field. It started in the beginning of the '70's of the previous century when Kahneman and Tversky published a number of papers (Tversky and Kahneman, 1971, Kahneman and Tversky, 1972, Kahneman and Tversky, 1973) where they presented their heuristics and biases approach to judgment and decision making under uncertainty. Ever since Kahneman and Tversky published their results in the beginning of the 1970's "the heuristics and biases program ...] spread beyond...
