Die Grundlagen und Voraussetzungen unserer modernen Wissenschafts- und Wissenskonzeptionen wurden in der Antike gelegt. Dieser erste Band einer Geschichte der Naturwissenschaft macht das Gefüge der uns heute leitenden, uns ausrichtenden und auch der von uns verdrängten Konzeptionen in seinen wesentlichen historischen Schritten erkennbar. Stufen der Problembearbeitung und des Problemverstehens werden in ihren jeweils eigenen Horizonten beschrieben und in den daraus folgenden Anregungen und den dabei immer wieder neu eingestellten Rahmenbedingungen dargestellt. Die hier erzählte Genese unserer Wissenschaftskultur setzt mit den ersten Versuchen einer Systematisierung von Wissen ein, der Notation der Zahlen, und führt über den Vorderen Orient, Griechenland und Rom bis in die Spätantike.

In this monograph, Steffen Ducheyne presents a traditionally distinctive and systematically wealthy explication of Newton’s technique. during the pages of this publication, it is going to be proven that Newton constructed a posh natural-philosophical technique which encompasses approaches to lessen inductive probability in the course of the technique of conception formation and which, thereby, surpasses a customary hypothetico-deductive methodological surroundings. for this reason, will probably be highlighted that the so-called ‘Newtonian Revolution’ used to be now not constrained to the empirical and theoretical dimensions of technological know-how, yet utilized both to the methodological measurement of technological know-how. additionally, it is going to be documented that Newton’s method was once faraway from static and that it built along along with his clinical paintings. consciousness should be paid not just to the successes of Newton’s leading edge method, yet both to its tensions and obstacles. in response to an intensive examine of Newton’s extant manuscripts, this monograph will handle and contextualize, inter alia, Newton’s causal realism, his perspectives on motion at a distance and area and time, the prestige of effective causation within the /Principia/, the various levels of his method, his therapy of strength and the components of the physico-mathematical types within the context of e-book I of the /Principia/, the analytic a part of the argument for common gravitation, the which means and value of his regulae philosophandi, the methodological modifications among his mechanical and optical paintings, and, ultimately, the interaction among Newton’s theology and his normal philosophy.

Due donne, due storie. Caterina e Paola si muovono in tempi e spazi differenti nel percorso in line with diventare madri e raccontano l’esperienza dell’attesa: forty settimane di gestazione in step with una, quattro anni di altalene burocratiche according to l’altra.
Le emozioni della gravidanza e dell’adozione si riflettono in una narrazione coinvolgente in cui il pubblico femminile si ritrova con facilità ed empatia. “In attesa” è in keeping withò un libro che parla anche agli uomini, ai compagni, ai mariti, ai padri, coprotagonisti del libro che hanno l’opportunità di provare a “decifrare” quello che passa according to los angeles mente, il cuore e gli ormoni delle destiny mamme dei loro figli.
“Che due amiche si confrontino, l’una sulla gravidanza, l’altra sull’adozione, non è cosa da nulla. Non soltanto perché inconsueta, ma anche perché molto spesso chi deve adottare vorrebbe essere al posto di chi vive una gravidanza, e chi è incinta non vede nulla in comune con chi non può esserlo. (…) “In attesa” nasce da un’idea originale, sviluppata minuto in keeping with minuto, sensazione in line with sensazione fino alle due ‘nascite’”. (Federica Mormando)

Wirtschaft ist ein zentrales Motiv im Werk von Peter Hacks. Welche Stellung bezog Hacks zu zeitgenössischen Entwicklungen - insbesondere zu wirtschaftspolitischen Konflikten in der DDR und damit zur Frage nach dem Sozialismus als eigenständige Epoche zwischen Kapitalismus und Kommunismus? Welche verallgemeinerbaren Aussagen über Ökonomie lassen sich aus diesen Stellungnahmen herausarbeiten, und wie sind sie vom heutigen Kenntnisstand aus zu bewerten? In welcher Weise sind die Positionen im dramatischen Werk entwickelt, auch im Vergleich mit Theaterstücken anderer Autoren der DDR? Welches sind die Potentiale, die dieses Werk heute hat? Diese Fragen klärten die Referenten auf der Hacks-Tagung 2014, deren Vorträge
hier gesammelt vorliegen.

This new textual content is an in depth examine of a massive technique in smooth Indian background. throughout the overdue 19th and early 20th century, India skilled an highbrow renaissance, which owed as a lot to the inflow of latest rules from the West as to standard non secular and cultural insights.
Gosling examines the results of the advent of Western technological know-how into India, and the connection among Indian traditions of concept and secular Western clinical doctrine. He charts the early improvement of technology in India, its position within the secularization of Indian society, and the next reassertion, edition and rejection of conventional modes of proposal. The ideals of key Indian scientists, together with Jagadish Chandra Bose, percent. Roy and S.N. Bose are explored and the ebook is going directly to replicate upon how person scientists may nonetheless settle for specific spiritual ideals reminiscent of reincarnation, cosmology, miracles and prayer.
Science and the Indian Tradition supplies an in-depth evaluation of result of the creation of Western technological know-how into India, and should be of curiosity to students of Indian heritage and people drawn to the interplay among Western and Indian traditions of highbrow thought.

The flora and fauna is infinitely advanced and hierarchically dependent, with smaller devices forming the elements of steadily greater platforms: molecules make up cells, cells include tissues and organs which are, in flip, elements of person organisms, that are united into populations and built-in into but extra encompassing ecosystems. within the face of such awe-inspiring complexity, there's a desire for a accomplished, non-reductionist evolutionary idea. Having emerged on the crossroads of paleobiology, genetics, and developmental biology, the hierarchical method of evolution presents a unifying standpoint at the flora and fauna and gives an operational framework for scientists looking to comprehend the best way complicated organic platforms paintings and evolve.
Coedited via one of many founders of hierarchy idea and that includes a various and well known workforce of members, this quantity presents an built-in, accomplished, state of the art creation to the hierarchy concept of evolution. From sweeping historic stories to philosophical items, theoretical essays, and strictly empirical chapters, it unearths hierarchy idea as a colourful box of clinical company that holds promise for unification around the existence sciences and provides new venues of empirical and theoretical examine. Stretching from molecules to the biosphere, hierarchy conception goals to supply an all-encompassing figuring out of evolution and—with this primary assortment dedicated fullyyt to the concept—will help in making obvious the elemental styles that propel dwelling systems.

In 1905, 8 males from the California Academy of Sciences set sail from San Francisco for a systematic assortment excursion within the Galapagos Islands, and by the point they have been comprehensive in 1906, that they had accomplished some of the most vital expeditions within the heritage of either evolutionary and conservation technology. those scientists gathered over 78,000 specimens in the course of their time at the islands, validating the paintings of Charles Darwin and laying the basis for foundational evolution texts like Darwin's Finches. regardless of its value, nearly not anything has been written in this voyage, misplaced among dialogue of Darwin's journey at the Beagle and the writing of David Lack.
In Collecting Evolution, writer Matthew James ultimately tells the tale of the 1905 Galapagos day trip. James follows those 8 younger males aboard the Academy to the Galapagos and again, and divulges the explanations at the back of the groundbreaking good fortune that they had. A present Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences, James makes use of his entry to unpublished writings and pictures to supply exceptional perception into the day trip. We study the voyagers' own tales, and the way, for the entire medical growth that used to be made, simply as a lot severe own drama spread out at the journey. This booklet stocks a watershed second in clinical heritage, crossed with a maritime event. There are 4 tangential suicides and controversies over credits and popularity. Collecting Evolution additionally explores the private lives and medical context that preceded this voyage, together with what introduced Darwin to the Galapagos at the Beagle voyage seventy years prior. James discusses how those males considered themselves as "collectors" sooner than they considered themselves as scientists, and the consequences this had on their procedure and their results.
In the tip, the voyage of the Academy proved to be an important within the improvement of evolutionary technology as we all know it. it's the longest day trip in Galapagos background, and performed a severe position in cementing Darwin's legacy. Collecting Evolution brings this outstanding tale of 8 scientists and their trip to life.

The time period utilized in the name of this volume--thinking practices--evokes questions that the authors of the chapters inside it start to solution: What are pondering practices? What may colleges and different studying settings seem like in the event that they have been prepared for the training of considering practices? Are pondering practices common, or do they range by means of disciplines? If there are changes, what implications do these transformations have for a way we arrange instructing and studying? How do views on studying, cognition, and tradition impact the categories of studying stories teenagers and adults have?
This quantity describes advances which have been made towards answering those questions. those advances contain a number of agendas, together with expanding interdisciplinary conversation and collaboration; reconciling learn on cognition with learn on educating, studying, and college tradition; and strengthening the connections among examine and college practice.
The time period thinking practices is symbolic of a mixture of theoretical views that experience contributed to the amount editors' knowing of ways humans study, how they set up their considering inside of and throughout disciplines, and the way institution studying will be greater equipped. by means of traveling via a number of the views on pondering and studying that experience advanced into college studying designs, Greeno and Goldman start to identify a body for what they're calling considering practices. This quantity is an important contribution to an issue that they suspect will proceed to grow to be a coherent physique of clinical and academic learn and practice.
