Was unterscheidet den Menschen von allen anderen Tieren? In diesem Buch werden Rationalitat, soziales Lernen und Kooperation die Grundlage kultureller Evolution aus einer vergleichenden philosophischen Perspektive unter die Lupe genommen. Dabei wird die Sicht entwickelt, dass der Anschein einer anthropologischen Differenz durch die Summe vieler kleiner Unterschiede hervorgerufen wird und wir anderen Tieren ahnlicher sind als wir haufig glauben.

Verificationism has been a hallmark of logical empiricism. In the last 50 years, this view has, however, received tremendously bad press as its advocates failed to resolve its problems. Modern theories of justification and belief revision, along with a formal semantics for counterfactuals, can help overcome these problems. Therefore, it is worth revisiting this disreputable view. The author argues in favor of a weak form of verificationism.

Astroparticle physics employs a range of theories to model the sources of cosmic radiation - but until now, it has not fully captured the relevant connections between these theories. Using Scheibe's method for the reconstruction and reduction of physical theories, Raphael Bolinger demonstrates the uses and limitations of formal strategies for standardization. This illustrates Scheibe's relevance to current problems in the philosophy of science.

This book aims at analyzing semantic values of proper names occurring in belief reports. The focus is on the discussion about Frege's puzzle concerning belief reports. The goal is to analyze Frege's puzzle without giving up semantic innocence. To this end, a pragmatic analysis named 'VarCA analysis' is proposed.
