Ludwig Wittgenstein's 'Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus' is one of the most important books of the twentieth century. It influenced philosophers and artists alike and continues to fascinate readers today. Alfred Nordmann's introduction considers both the philosophical and the literary aspects of the Tractatus and demonstrates how they are related. It also reveals how the work fits into Wittgenstein's philosophical development and the tradition of analytic philosophy, arguing strongly for the vigor and significance of that tradition.

Advancements in computing, instrumentation, robotics, digital imaging, and simulation modeling have changed science into a technology-driven institution. Government, industry, and society increasingly exert their influence over science, raising questions of values and objectivity. These and other profound changes have led many to speculate that we are in the midst of an epochal break in scientific history. This edited volume presents an in-depth examination of these issues from philosophical, historical, social, and cultural perspectives. It offers arguments both for and against the...

Kann man uber Nichtwissen, das heisst uber etwas, das abwesend ist, kommunizieren? Was ist unter Nichtwissen zu verstehen? Wie ist Nichtwissen erkenntnistheoretisch, wissenschaftskritisch und diskursanalytisch einzuordnen? Welche Rolle spielt Nichtwissen wissenschaftsintern einerseits, in Beratungskontexten und fur Fragen der konkreten Entscheidungsfindung andererseits? Philosophen, Soziologen und Sprachwissenschaftler diskutieren uber grundlegende begriffliche Unterscheidungen vom Wissen zum Nichtwissen, uber die Kommunizierbarkeit von Nichtwissen und seine Relevanz im Wissenschaftsdiskurs,...

We increasingly view the world around us as a product of science and technology. Accordingly, we have begun to appreciate that science does not take its problems only from nature and then produces technological applications, but that the very problems of scientific research themselves are generated by science and technology. Simultaneously, problems like global warming, the toxicology of nanoparticles, or the use of renewable energies are constituted by many factors that interact with great complexity. Science in the context of application is challenged to gain new understanding and control...
