Anthropocentrism and the fact that some animals are just considered a means to an end while others are loved are often subject to criticism in animal ethics. Drawing on the psychoanalytic theories of Jacques Lacan, the author examines how the apparent ambivalence in human–animal relationships is based on different forms of enjoyment. Referring to the Real, the Symbolic and the Imaginary, which according to Lacan define human reality, the author shows how enjoyment and its limits shape, for example, how we think about pets, farm animals or wild animals. This alternative perspective will contribute to a better understanding of the challenges in human–animal relationships. Der Anthropozentrismus und die Tatsache, dass manche Tiere nur als Mittel zum Zweck gelten, während andere geliebt werden, sind häufig Ziel tierethischer Kritik. Auf der Grundlage der psychoanalytischen Theorien von Jacques Lacan untersucht der Autor, inwiefern die augenscheinlichen Ambivalenzen in der Mensch-Tier-Beziehung auf unterschiedlichen Formen des Genießens beruhen. Unter Bezugnahme auf das Reale, das Symbolische und das Imaginäre, die nach Lacan die menschliche Wirklichkeit definieren, wird gezeigt, wie das Genießen und dessen Grenzen z. B. unser Denken über Heimtiere, Nutztiere oder Wildtiere prägen. Diese alternative Perspektive soll zu einem besseren Verständnis der Herausforderungen in der Mensch-Tier-Beziehung beitragen.

A new movement is on the scene: effective altruism—the combination of love and efficiency, making the world a better place not just with a bleeding heart and empathy but with a radical focus on reason and evidence and never losing sight of the goal of maximal impact. Its adherents typically stem from strongly secular environments such as elite philosophy departments or Silicon Valley. So far, a religious perspective on this movement has been lacking. What can people of faith learn from effective altruism, how can they contribute, and what must they criticise? This volume offers a first examination of these questions, providing both a Buddhist and an Orthodox Jewish perspective on them, in addition to various Christian contributions. With contributions by Calvin Baker, Lara Buchak, Mara-Daria Cojocaru, Stefan Höschele, Markus Huppenbauer, Robert MacSwain, David Manheim, Kathryn Muyskens, Stefan Riedener, Dominic Roser and Jakub Synowiec.

Modern engineering practice requires advanced numerical modeling because, among other things, it reduces the costs associated with prototyping or predicting the occurrence of potentially dangerous situations during operation in certain defined conditions. Thus far, different methods have been used to implement the real structure into the numerical version. The most popular uses have been variations of the finite element method (FEM). The aim of this Special Issue has been to familiarize the reader with the latest applications of the FEM for the modeling and analysis of diverse mechanical problems. Authors are encouraged to provide a concise description of the specific application or a potential application of the Special Issue.
