Religious Offence and Human Rights
Should offence to religions be punishable by law, or does freedom of expression extend even to blasphemy? This book examines this question.
Religionsfreiheit im Kontext der Grundrechte
Wie kann eine Gesellschaft freier und gleicher Menschen dauerhaft bestehen, wenn sie durch gegensätzliche religiöse und philosophische Lehren zerrissen ist? Welche gemeinsamen Wert- und Rechtsgrundlagen prägen den Dialog zwischen religiösen und säkularen Menschen? Die Begriffe «Menschenwürde» und «Grundrechte» gelten als Kurzformeln für die Vergewisserung der Grundlagen einer demokratischen Rechtsordnung. Sie unterliegen jedoch Interpretationsunterschieden, ohne deren Klärung sie verblassen. Die internationale Autorenschaft nähert sich der Thematik rechtsphilosophisch, zivil- und religionsrechtlich. Mit Beiträgen von Robert P. George, Markus Graulich, Janne Haaland Matlary, Felix Hafner, Dieter Kraus, Adrian Loretan, Hermann Lübbe, Kurt Martens, Simon Mugier, Dorothée de Nève, Parinas Parhisi, Helmuth Pree, Wilhelm Rees, Kurt Seelmann, Christoph Spenlé und Judith Wyttenbach.
Droit constitutionnel suisse
L'ouvrage présente une vue d'ensemble du droit constitutionnel suisse. S'il se concentre sur le droit fédéral tel qu'il se dégage de la Constitution du 18 avril 1999, il ménage une large place au droit cantonal et prend systématiquement en compte la dimension internationale du droit constitutionnel dont l'importance ne cesse de croître. Le premier volume est consacré à l'organisation, à la structure et aux normes de l'Etat. Tour à tour sont exposés les principaux piliers de l'ordre constitutionnel suisse que sont les organes de la Confédération, des cantons et des communes, les règles sur la nationalité et le droit des migrations, la démocratie et les droits politiques, le f...
Towards A Semiotic Biology: Life Is The Action Of Signs
This book presents programmatic texts on biosemiotics, written collectively by world leading scholars in the field (Deacon, Emmeche, Favareau, Hoffmeyer, Kull, Markoš, Pattee, Stjernfelt). In addition, the book includes chapters which focus closely on semiotic case studies (Bruni, Kotov, Maran, Neuman, Turovski).According to the central thesis of biosemiotics, sign processes characterise all living systems and the very nature of life, and their diverse phenomena can be best explained via the dynamics and typology of sign relations. The authors are therefore presenting a deeper view on biological evolution, intentionality of organisms, the role of communication in the living world and the nature of sign systems — all topics which are described in this volume. This has important consequences on the methodology and epistemology of biology and study of life phenomena in general, which the authors aim to help the reader better understand.
The German Question
The 'German Question,' long a subject of debate, is considered here at the close of a turbulent century, after Germany's defeat in two world wars, the Weimar failure and Nazi disaster, Cold War division, and the nation's unexpected recent reunification. This book systematically explores the issue in terms of its four central dimensions: Germany's identity, national unity, power, and role in world politics. Ambitious in conception and meticulous in execution, Dirk Verheyen's wide-ranging analysis incorporates historical and geopolitical considerations in an intellectually rigorous yet accessible discussion.
