Abstract

Alle reden von Orientierung, aber seit Kant sind kaum Versuche gemacht worden, zu sagen, was das ist: Orientierung. Sie ist das Alltäglichste, mit dem wir zu tun haben, das Erste, von dem alles ausgeht, und das Letzte, zu dem wir zurückkommen, und als solches eine Frage der Philosophie. In Auseinandersetzung mit den großen Entwürfen der Philosophie klärt Werner Stegmaier die Bedingungen und Strukturen der alltäglichen Orientierung, in die auch sexuelle, politische, religiöse, ethische Orientierungen eingebettet sind, und schafft der Philosophie dabei neue Grundlagen. Geklärt werden die Bedingungen der Möglichkeit der Orientierung überhaupt, die Bedingungen der Orientierung an anderer Orientierung in Interaktion und Kommunikation, die Bedingungen der Orientierung in besonderen Orientierungssystemen wie der Ökonomie, den Massenmedien, der Politik, des Rechts, der Wissenschaft, der Kunst und der Religion, die Bedingungen der moralischen Orientierung und ihrer Selbstreflexion in der ethischen Orientierung, die Bedingungen der Weltorientierung in der globalisierten Kommunikation und schließlich die Bedingungen der Metaphysik, des Absehens von der Orientierung in der Orientierung. Die Philosophie der Orientierung schließt mit der Bedeutung des Todes für die Orientierung. Am Anfang stehen Vororientierungen zu den Bedingungen der Möglichkeit einer Philosophie der Orientierung, dem Vorkommen der Orientierung bei Tieren, Pflanzen und Teilchen und ihrer Entwicklung beim Menschen und zur Evolution des philosophischen Begriffs der Orientierung. Die Philosophie der Orientierung reicht weit über die Philosophie hinaus und bezieht auch eine Vielzahl von Fachwissenschaften ein. Sie hat dadurch zugleich Handbuch-Charakter. Sie wird künftig das Referenzwerk für alle philosophische Fragen der Orientierung sein.

Abstract

Timing and Time Perception: Procedures, Measures, and Applications is a one-of-a-kind, collective effort to present the most utilized and known methods on timing and time perception. Specifically, it covers methods and analysis on circadian timing, synchrony perception, reaction/response time, time estimation, and alternative methods for clinical/developmental research. The book includes experimental protocols, programming code, and sample results and the content ranges from very introductory to more advanced so as to cover the needs of both junior and senior researchers. We hope that this will be the first step in future efforts to document experimental methods and analysis both in a theoretical and in a practical manner. Contributors are: Patricia V.

Abstract

"Preserving, pausing, slowing, rewinding, replaying, reactivating, reanimating ...Has the ability to manipulate video game timelines altered our cultural conceptions of time? Video game scholar Christopher Hanson argues that the mechanics of time in digital games have presented a new model for understanding time in contemporary culture, a concept he calls game time. Multivalent in nature, game time is characterized by apparent malleability, navigability, and possibility while simultaneously being highly restrictive and requiring replay and repetition. Hanson demonstrates that compared to analog tabletop games, sports, film, television, and other forms of media, the temporal structures of digital games provide unique opportunities to engage players with liveness, causality, potentiality, and lived experience that create new ways of experiencing time. Hanson's argument features comparative analysis of key video games titles including Braid, Quantum Break, Battle of the Bulge, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Passage, The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, Lifeline, and A Dark Room."--Publisher's website.

Abstract

Scholars in the humanities have become increasingly interested in questions of how space is produced and perceived-and they have found that this consideration of human geography greatly enriches our understanding of cultural history. This "spatial turn" equally has the potential to revolutionize Jewish Studies, complicating familiar notions of Jews as "people of the Book," displaced persons with only a common religious tradition and history to unite them. Space and Place in Jewish Studies embraces these exciting critical developments by investigating what "space" has meant within Jewish culture and tradition-and how notions of "Jewish space," diaspora, and home continue to resonate within contemporary discourse, bringing space to the foreground as a practical and analytical category. Barbara Mann takes us on a journey from medieval Levantine trade routes to the Eastern European shtetl to the streets of contemporary New York, introducing readers to the variety of ways in which Jews have historically formed communities and created a sense of place for themselves. Combining cutting-edge theory with rabbinics, anthropology, and literary analysis, Mann offers a fresh take on the Jewish experience.

Abstract

Time, it has been said, is the enemy. In an era of harried lives, time seems increasingly precious as hours and days telescope and our lives often seem to be flitting past. And yet, at other times, the minutes drag on, each tick of the clock excruciatingly drawn out. What explains this seeming paradox?. Based upon a full decade's empirical research, Michael G. Flaherty's new book offers remarkable insights on this most universal human experience. Flaherty surveys hundreds of individuals of all ages in an attempt to ascertain how such phenomena as suffering, violence, danger, boredom, exhilarat

Abstract

Describing the ways landscapes are perpetually shaped by the engagements and practices of their inhabitants, this innovative volume develops a processual approach to both perception and imagination. But it also brings out the ways in which these processes, animated by the hopes and dreams of inhabitants, increasingly come into conflict with the strategies of external actors empowered to impose their own, ready-made designs upon the world. With a focus on the temporal and kinaesthetic dynamics of imagining, Imagining Landscapes foregrounds both time and movement in understanding how past, prese
