The Luminaries
The winner of the Man Booker Prize, this "expertly written, perfectly constructed" bestseller (The Guardian) is now a Starz miniseries. It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to stake his claim in New Zealand's booming gold rush. On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of 12 local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: a wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous cache of gold has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky. Richly evoking a mid-nineteenth-century world of shipping, banking, and gold rush boom and bust, The Luminaries is at once a fiendishly clever ghost story, a gripping page-turner, and a thrilling novelistic achievement. It richly confirms that Eleanor Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international literary firmament.
The Swimming-Pool Library
Young, gay, William Beckwith spends his time, and his trust fund, idly cruising London for erotic encounters. When he saves the life of an elderly man in a public convenience an unlikely job opportunity presents itself - the man, Lord Nantwich, is seeking a biographer. Will agrees to take a look at Nantwich’s diaries. But in the story he unravels, a tragedy of twentieth-century gay repression, lurk bitter truths about Will’s own privileged existence.
Social Enactivism
Social enactivism is a philosophical theory which, through the analysis of discursive practice, aims at explaining how high-level cognitive conditions and processes emerge. The fundamental tenets of this theory are based on enactivist and (neo)pragmatist principles. Therefore, the emphasis is not on the purely linguistic understanding of discourse but on its structural interaction with technology, that is created by man himself, in the context of which the discursive performance takes place. This perspective addresses not only a blind spot in the international debate about "situated cognition" but also a current problem in the philosophy of mind.
Raum und Wissen
Die Monographie untersucht den Gebrauch von Diagrammen zu Erkenntniszwecken. Anhand der Schlüsselszenen von euklidischer Geometrie und spätmittelalterlicher Physik zeigt die Studie, wie Diagramme Räumlichkeit und Regeln, Logik und epistemischen Überschuss, Doppeldeutigkeit und Präzision so verbinden, dass neue Einsichten gewonnen und unbekannte Phänomene erschlossen werden. Zunächst wird erarbeitet, warum konstruierte Diagramme im Allgemeinen mehr Informationen zeigen als zu ihrer Konstruktion aufgewendet werden, mithin einen Erkenntnisüberschuss produzieren. Dieser Überschuss wird gegen eine mächtige bildkritische Tradition als zentrales und legitimes Prinzip der Figurenbeweise der euklidischen Geometrie identifiziert. Schließlich rekonstruiert die Arbeit, wie Nicole Oresme in seiner bahnbrechenden Konfigurationsdoktrin im 14. Jahrhundert die Diagramme Euklids als epistemisches Instrument einsetzt, um eine universale Quantifizierung aller Naturvorgänge vorzunehmen.
