This book brings together papers from a conference that took place in the city of L'Aquila, 4-6 April 2019, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the earthquake that struck on 6 April 2009. Philosophers and scientists from diverse fields of research debated the problem that, on 6 April 1922, divided Einstein and Bergson: the nature of time. For Einstein, scientific time is the only time that matters and the only time we can rely on. Bergson, however, believes that scientific time is derived by abstraction, even in the sense of extraction, from a more fundamental time. The plurality of times envisaged by the theory of Relativity does not, for him, contradict the philosophical intuition of the existence of a single time. But how do things stand today? What can we say about the relationship between the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of time in the light of contemporary science? What do quantum mechanics, biology and neuroscience teach us about the nature of time? The essays collected here take up the question that pitted Einstein against Bergson, science against philosophy, in an attempt to reverse the outcome of their monologue in two voices, with a multilogue in several voices.

Weder Kapitalismus noch Demokratie galten in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren als Pfeiler der Stabilität. Das begann sich erst nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zu ändern. Dargestellt wird dieser Wandel in der Regel als Triumph von kapitalistischer Konsumgesellschaft und wohlfahrtsstaatlich gesicherter Demokratie über Faschismus und Kommunismus. 70 Jahre Bundesrepublik bieten Anlass, diese Sicht neu zu bewerten. Hermann Bücher zum Beispiel, Vorstandsmitglied des Reichsverbands der Deutschen Industrie, hielt Politiker für ökonomisch inkompetent und Parlamente für ungeeignet, um die wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen moderner Gesellschaften zu gestalten. Dennoch avancierte er nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zu einem wichtigen Berater der ersten bundesdeutschen Regierung unter Konrad Adenauer. Wie kam es dazu, dass Akteure wie Hermann Bücher in Deutschland, genauso wie andere in Frankreich, demokratische Regierungen als Partner des Kapitalismus akzeptierten? Schlüssel dieser Entwicklung waren Vertreter wirtschaftlicher Interessen, die als Unterhändler zwischen Unternehmen und Staat vermittelten. Sie traten für eine Transformation des wirtschaftsliberalen Individualismus zu einem koordinierten Kapitalismus ein. Philipp Müller zeigt, dass die wirtschaftlichen Eliten durch die Regimewechsel nicht nachhaltig berührt wurden und in der Nachkriegszeit zu starkem Einfluss auf die wirtschaftliche und politische Ordnung gelangten. Damit stieg auch ihre Bereitschaft zur Akzeptanz der Demokratie.

The work of the German philosopher Helmuth Plessner (1892-1985) inspired generations of scholars and has been enjoying a recent renaissance. This volume offers the first substantial English-language introduction to Plessner's philosophical anthropology, contextualising it by comparison with the more familiar contemporaries such as Bergson, Cassirer and Merleau-Ponty, but also showing his relevance to contemporary discussion in a variety of scholarly fields. Helmuth Plessner (1892-1985) was one of the founders of philosophical anthropology, and his book The Stages of the Organic and Man, first published in 1928, has inspired generations of philosophers, biologists, social scientists, and humanities scholars. This volume offers the first substantial introduction to Plessner's philosophical anthropology in English, not only setting it in context with such familiar figures as Bergson, Cassirer, and Merleau-Ponty, but also showing Plessner's relevance to contemporary discussions in a wide variety of fields in the humanities and sciences.
