Today, authenticity is considered an essential part of manifold interpersonal relationships, actions, and agreements. Authenticity’s association with sincerity, honesty, and reliability not only normatively charges the term in the context of social coexistence, but also makes it a demand which we impose on ourselves: The success of our lives is measured decisively by whether we live in harmony with our own convictions, wishes and needs. In philosophy, authenticity has also become the focus of interest, both in the context of the mechanisms of self-knowledge, as well as of personal development. The anthology aims to expand the cooperation across disciplines, in order to develop a comprehensive and profound understanding of authenticity, not by over-simplifying the highly complex subject, but by approaching the underlying concept from different scientific perspectives. Content The first part presents metaphysical, anthropological, and phenomenological approaches. They are complemented in the second part by ethical and socio-philosophical studies. Finally, part three considers authenticity from the standpoint of psychology and psychiatry. The Editors Prof. Dr. Godehard Brüntrup teaches metaphysics and philosophy of mind at the Munich School of Philosophy. Prof. Dr. Michael Reder teaches social and political philosophy at the Munich School of Philosophy. Liselotte Gierstl holds degrees in Philosophy, Psychology, and Human Factors Engineering. She currently works as Design Thinking specialist in Munich.

Panpsychism has become a highly attractive position in the philosophy of mind. On panpsychism, both the physical and the mental are inseparable and fundamental features of reality. Panentheism has also become immensely popular in the philo-sophy of religion. Panentheism strives for a higher reconciliation of an atheistic pantheism, on which the universe itself is causa sui, and the ontological dualism of necessarily existing, eternal creator and contingent, fi nite creation. Historically and systematically, panpsychism and panentheism often went together as essential parts of an all-embracing metaphysical theory of Being. The present collection of essays analyses the relation between panpsychism and panentheism and provides critical reflections on the significance of panpsychistic and panentheistic thinking for recent debates in philosophy and theology.

This book is a collection of essays in systematic ontology. The parts of its title - "Things" and "Ways They Are" - are indicative of two broadly and intensively discussed issues in current ontology, namely, what categories of entities there are and in what ways they are relevant for our discourses. The three sections of the volume correspond to focuses of ontological research: "Before Ontology" is dedicated to conceptual, methodological, and meta-ontological issues; "Ontology at Work" raises general topics of categorial ontology, and the final section "Ontology in Application" discusses quest
