Am Abend des 1. April des Jahres 1885 gründeten in Wien 50 literatur- und kunstschaffende Frauen mit dem »Verein der Schriftstellerinnen und Künstlerinnen in Wien« ein Netzwerk, das ihnen neben materieller Absicherung bei Not, Krankheit und Alter auch ein Forum der Förderung und Anregung bieten konnte. In dem vorliegenden Buch wird der frühe, den emanzipatorischen und sozialen Bewegungen des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts zuzuzählende Verein in seinen kulturellen, ökonomischen und politischen Beziehungsgeflechten dargestellt. Anhand von Vereinsdokumenten, Tagebüchern und unveröffentlichten Briefen werden die Bemühungen der Vereinsfrauen um Einigkeit, ihre Erfolge wie auch Verhinderungen in den Fokus einer über ein halbes Jahrhundert währenden Geschichte gestellt. On the evening of April 1, 1885, a group of women who were active in artistic fields founded in Vienna the »Verein der Schriftstellerinnen und Künstlerinnen in Wien« (the »Association of Female Authors and Artists in Vienna« or VSKW). Their goal was to establish a social network for themselves that, aside from providing financial security in the event of need, illness or old age, could also offer a forum for promotion and support. Based upon reports pertaining to the Association and on documents about or authored by its members from their personal archives (e.g. diaries and unpublished letters), the book focuses on the efforts of the members to achieve unity despite their extremely diverse social and artistic backgrounds, on their searches for internal and external orientation, on their successes, but also on their hindrances and failures.

Few developments in the intellectual life of the past quarter-century have provoked more controversy than the attempt to engineer human-like intelligence by artificial means. Born of computer science, this effort has sparked a continuing debate among the psychologists, neuroscientists, philosophers,and linguists who have pioneered--and criticized--artificial intelligence. Are there general principles, as some computer scientists had originally hoped, that would fully describe the activity of both animal and machine minds, just as aerodynamics accounts for the flight of birds and airplanes? In the twenty substantial interviews published here, leading researchers address this and other vexing questions in the field of cognitive science.The interviewees include Patricia Smith Churchland (Take It Apart and See How It Runs), Paul M. Churchland (Neural Networks and Commonsense), Aaron V. Cicourel (Cognition and Cultural Belief), Daniel C. Dennett (In Defense of AI), Hubert L. Dreyfus (Cognitivism Abandoned), Jerry A. Fodor (The Folly of Simulation), John Haugeland (Farewell to GOFAI?), George Lakoff (Embodied Minds and Meanings), James L. McClelland (Toward a Pragmatic Connectionism), Allen Newell (The Serial Imperative), Stephen E. Palmer (Gestalt Psychology Redux), Hilary Putnam (Against the New Associationism), David E. Rumelhart (From Searching to Seeing), John R. Searle (Ontology Is the Question), Terrence J. Sejnowski (The Hardware Really Matters), Herbert A. Simon (Technology Is Not the Problem), Joseph Weizenbaum (The Myth of the Last Metaphor), Robert Wilensky (Why Play the Philosophy Game?), Terry A.Winograd (Computers and Social Values), and Lotfi A. Zadeh (The Albatross of Classical Logic). Speaking Minds can complement more traditional textbooks but can also stand alone as an introduction to the field.Originally published in 1995.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

This study examines the way residents of an affluent New York suburb deal with conflict in their families, neighbourhoods and community. Drawing on research, observation and numerous interviews, the author provides a portrait of an increasingly prevalent type of American community.

Bisexuality in Europe offers an accessible and diverse overview of research on bisexuality and bi+ people in Europe, providing a foundation for theorising and empirical work on plurisexual orientations and identities, and the experiences and realities of people who desire more than one sex or gender Counteracting the predominance of work on bisexuality based in Ango-American contexts, this collection of fifteen contributions from both early-career and more senior academics reflects the current state of research in Europe on bisexuality and people who desire more than one sex or gender. The book is structured around three interlinked themes that resonate well with the international research frontiers of bisexual theorising: bisexual citizenship, intimate relationships, and bisexual+ identities. This book is the first of its kind in bringing together research from various European countries including Austria, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Scandinavian countries, as well as from Europe as a wider geographical region. Topics include pansexual identity, non-monogomies, asylum seekers and youth cultures. This is an essential collection for students, early career researchers, and more senior academics in Gender Studies, LGBTQI Studies and Sexuality Studies.

Zu jeder affinen Inzidenzebene, in welcher der große Satz von Desargues gilt (kurz: (D)-Ebene), wird mit Hilfe von Translationen und Streckungen ein zweidimensionaler Vektorraum über einem Schiefkörper hergeleitet. Anders als in der bisherigen Literatur werden diese Abbildungen nicht axiomatisch, sondern konstruktiv eingeführt. Dieser Weg ist anschaulich und verdeutlicht den geometrischen Hintergrund der algebraischen Strukturen. Außerdem sichert er von Anfang an die Existenz hinreichend vieler solcher Abbildungen. Die Autoren weisen u.a. nach: • Die Isomorphieklassen von (D)-Ebenen und die Isomorphieklassen algebraisch affiner Ebenen entsprechen sich bijektiv. • Bei der Hilbertschen Streckenrechnung führen unterschiedliche Konstruktionsdaten zu isomorphen Schiefkörpern. • Translationen, Streckungen und axiale Kollineationen sind drei affine Spezialfälle derselben projektiven Situation. Inhalt und gewählte Vorgehensweise machen die mathematischen Grundlagen der analytischen Geometrie, wie sie bereits in der Oberstufe des Gymnasiums unterrichtet wird, klar. Aufgrund der ausführlichen und durch viele Abbildungen veranschaulichten Beweise ist dieses Buch auch bestens zum Selbststudium geeignet.
