Ausgangspunkt für diese Kritik des Bildbegriffs ist das triadische Grundverhältnis von Bild, Wahrnehmung und symbolischen Formen. Aus dem Grunde geht die thematische Richtung des Werks vor allem von einem kulturphilosophischen Kriterium des Bildbegriffs – das Kriterium der symbolischen Artikulation – hin zu einer Bestimmung der Individualität des Bildes als Kunstwerk und dadurch auch zu einer normativen Bestimmung des Bildbegriffs selbst. Es ist genau die Cassirersche Beziehung zwischen dem Begriff der symbolischen Prägnanz und dem Begriff des physiognomischen Formerlebnisses, die das Bild als Kunstwerk in eine eigentümliche und originelle Weise zum Ausdruck bringt und, was diese Reflexion betrifft, dem Kernpunkt des Bildbegriffs, den hier sich nach der Philosophie Cassirers entwickelt, entspricht. Diese Reflexion bietet sowohl eine neue Lesart der Casssirerschen Philosophie, als auch wichtige theoretische Brennpunkte für die Bereichen der Bildwissenschaft, Kunst- und Kulturphilosophie.

This books brings together new studies on the thought of Bernard de Mandeville. The chapters reflect a rethinking of de Mandeville’s legacy and, together, present a comprehensive approach to de Mandeville’s work. The book is published on the occasion of the 300 years that have passed since the publication of the Fable of the Bees. Bernard de Mandeville disassembled the dichotomies of traditional moral thinking to show that the outcomes of the social action emerge as new, non-intentional effects from the combination of moral opposites, vice and virtue, in such a form that they lose their moral significance. The work of this great writer, philosopher and physician is interwoven with an awareness of the paradoxical nature of modern society and the challenges that this recognition brings to an adequate perspective on the historical world of modernity.

Long description: The texts in this collection are revised versions of presentations given at the Coimbra International Conference on the Semantics of Culture emph Why ``Culture''?, held on November 24-25, 2011. Their common theme is the idea that the phenomenon of culture cannot be reduced to a substantialist vision of the diversity of manifestations of society and human beings. However, if one were to accept the concept of culture as a starting point for observing these manifestations, then it should also be adopted as a starting point for critical questioning, that is, for problematizing. The texts in this volume contribute to this philosophical problematization by pointing out - each with its own perspective of analysis - articulations of the phenomenon of culture as a theoretical object and as a thematic object.
