Dieses Buch stellt die Hypothese auf, dass eine Zusammenfuhrung der quantitativen Forschungsmethoden der Naturwissenschaften und der qualitativen Analysen der Geisteswissenschaften die Pradiktion und Pravention von Zivilisationskrankheiten verbessert. Demnach konnen eine adaquate Berucksichtigung der Empfindungen, Wahrnehmungs- und Bewusstseinszustande sowie Intentionen des Patienten wie auch des Arztes und des natur- und geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschers die Genese und die Perzeption von Zivilisationskrankheiten entscheidend beeinflussen. Der Autor fragt, ob eine gesamtwissenschaftliche...

Almost everything that one claims about meaning is likely to be questioned or disputed. Translation studies also abound in numerous controversies. However, there is no doubt that translations entail a transfer of meaning, even if the exact sense of the word -meaning- remains vague. The same applies to the term -translation equivalence-. This book is an attempt to cope with conceptual, terminological, theoretical, and practical difficulties resulting from this nebula of issues. Numerous examples of translated legal, religious and artistic texts are provided to substantiate the claim...

2016 Reprint of 1900 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This book is divided into two sections: "On A Certain Blindness in Human Beings" and "What Makes a Life Significant." The author tries to demonstrate how soaked and shot-through life is with values and meanings which we fail to realize because of our external and insensible point of view. The meanings are there for the others, but they are not there for us. There lies more than a mere interest of curious speculation in understanding this. It has the most tremendous...

Pathways for Remembering and Recognizing Indigenous Thought in Education is an exploration into some of the shared cross-cultural themes that inform and shape Indigenous thought and Indigenous educational philosophy. These philosophies generate tensions, challenges, and contradictions that can become very tangled...

In each chapter, he explicates a critical re-thinking of ordinary lived experiences - such as desire, irony, play - or traditional philosophical ideas such as catharsis, mimesis, techne in light of 'the spirit of nihilism' that marks the contemporary human...
