Authors: Marom Batia S. , Sharabi Moshe , Ratzon Navah Z.
Published: April 2022

Background: Returning to work after traumatic musculoskeletal injury [2] is a complex process that is affected by medical, psychosocial, and personal factors and that pose main problems in the rehabilitation process. Interventions related to work is a central part of the profession of occupational therapy (OT). Thus, the involvement in the field of vocational reintegration after injuries is insufficient. Occupational therapists need to identify various factors so as to influence the intervention. Purpose of the review: To review the studies conducted in Israel in the context of prognostic factors for return to work after injuries in the past ten years. Method: A systematic search in databases (CINAHL, Google scholar PubMed) of articles in Hebrew and English that dealt with returning to work after injuries in Israel in the years 2012-2022. Results: Out of the 90 papers scanned for the search words: return to work, predictive factors, injuries, Israel, 5 studies and 15 predictors were found: Personal factors – age, gender, marital status, socioeconomic background, education, ethnic groups, severity of injury, pain, and the severity of the functional disability, emotional response to trauma and self-efficacy. Occupational factors – High demands and workload. Environmental factors – involvement in a lawsuit, the circumstances of the injury and involvement of the National Insurance institution. Conclusions: It is important to know the factors that influence return to work in order to promote work participation, while applying holistic approaches in OT treatment. When developing intervention programs for patients with low education and consideration the of ethnic context is important. The predictors pain, emotional response to trauma, and self-efficacy may be modified by specific OT interventions. Research to examine the effect of these interventions on returning to work is recommended.

Biologically inspired nanocomposites are currently attracting significant recognition in view of their environmentally friendly, cost efficient and sustainable properties. In this study, silver-kaolinite nanocomposite (SKN) was synthesized using aqueous extracts from fresh leaves of Aloe vera as a bioreducing agent and employed for the removal of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) ions from simulated produced water (SPW). Morphological properties of SKN were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, Brauner-Emmett-Teller (BET) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry with average particle size ranging from 45 to 60 nm. Different physicochemical parameters (initial concentration (10 - 120 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (0.01 - 0.2 g), pH (2 - 8) and contact time (5 - 150 min)) were investigated to ascertain the efficiency of SKN. The results revealed optimum adsorption of 142 and 120 mg/g for lead and cadmium ions respectively at initial metal concentration of 100 mg/L, 0.05 g of SKN dose and pH 6 for 60 min. Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic model adequately interpreted the equilibrium and kinetic data respectively.

Economic Sustainability of Geographical Indication Indigenous Rice: The Case of Khao Sangyod Muang Phatthalung, Thailand
Authors: Petruang Natjaree , Napasintuwong Orachos
Published: April 2022

Khao Sangyod (Sangyod rice) is an indigenous red rice variety commonly cultivated in Southern Thailand. Its distinctive and desirable cooking quality and nutritional value made Sangyod rice in Phatthalung province Khao Sangyod Muang Phatthalung the first geographical indication (GI) rice registered in Thailand. These attributes also earned it the status of a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Thai rice registered in the EU. Sangyod rice cultivation can generate a good income for farmers and contribute to the conservation of indigenous varieties and genetic biodiversity. This study aims to measure farmers’ net incomes (profitability), which is one important indicator of sustainable rice platform (SRP) indicators by the United Nations Environmental Programme, and to compare the profit inefficiency among farmers. The data were collected from 328 farmers in three southern provinces for the 2019/2020 cropping season. The results show that, on average, Sangyod rice farmers have a profit efficiency score of 68, implying that they can still improve their profit by 32%. Sangyod rice production in the GI area has a profit efficiency higher than that outside the area. The results from this study can inform the formulation of policies that support the sustainability of indigenous rice in Thailand.
Harmonics Suppression of AC Source Current of a Single Phase Source Fed Induction Heating System
Authors: Chakraborty Avijit
Published: April 2022

Any high frequency Induction heating system while undergoing through very high frequency switching operations, produces Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) noises or very high frequency harmonics within the system. These high frequency EMI noises conductively propagate towards the input AC source and distort the sinusoidal input AC current and make it non-sinusoidal. The desired performance from the induction heating cannot be anticipated. As such, it is inevitable to eliminate such EMI noises from the input AC source current to get the desired performance. Here, a specially designed ring type LC low pass passive filter is proposed which can accomplish to suppress these high frequency EMI noises up to satisfactory level and can restore the sinusoidal shape in the input AC source current waveform and thus improves the power quality of the AC supply for the induction heating system. The impact of the induction heating system without and with incorporating the proposed filter will be compared in this study.

A Laboratory Investigation on Flow Traits in Saturated Clay
Authors: Goswami Ghritartha , Basack Sudip
Published: April 2022

The properties of flow through saturated soil are complicated. When the head is low, the flow is virtually linear, and Darcy's rule applies. The flow is nonlinear at the increasing head and is mathematically known as Forchheimer's flow. Several factors, including soil and fluid properties, influence the critical flow velocity for this transition and the corresponding Reynold's number. An experimental examination was carried out in this paper using a falling head permeameter and a locally accessible soft soil sample. The test findings were subjected to a careful analysis and interpretation to identify the linear and nonlinear flow characteristics, and key conclusions were obtained as a result.

Published: April 2022

In this study, we derive some mathematical expressions that allow us to determine the proportion of charged aerosol particles in the corona, as well as analyzed the conditions of deposition of charged particles uniformly distributed in the space between the discharge and collecting electrodes. The numerical implementation of this method confirms its acceptable accuracy compared to known methods in the literature. The obtained results indicate that, under suitable conditions, use of a corona field can be an alternative technique for cleaning and refining impure aerosol mixtures for desired purposes.
Speculative and Critical Approach to Designing Technological Futures through HCI Education
Authors: Culén Alma Leora , Stevens Nicholas Sebastian
Published: April 2022

We believe that challenging times demand HCI education to pay attention to current real-life, complex, systemic problems. Therefore, we suggest an integrated framework for teaching HCI that involves combining the transition design framework, which suggests long-term, future-oriented design on a large scale toward more sustainable lifestyles, and speculative and critical design. The integration of the two creates spaces for dialogues and debates enabling students to take a more critical perspective concerning possible futures and technology design. We suggest studio-based pedagogy and explicate various aspects of the course, including its theoretical and practical underpinnings, pedagogical approach, and provide examples of projects to illustrate how the framework was used and ways in which speculative and critical design and thinking were crucial for learning. Finally, we highlight six learning facets that might contribute to orienting students’ upcoming professional work towards desirable futures.
Value Sensitive Speculative Design: Exploring More-Than-Human Relations in the Age of Climate Catastrophe
Authors: Beach Michael W. , Fox Tyler
Published: April 2022

As issues of climate change become more apparent and intertwined with our daily lives, calls for action amplify. The causes and effects of anthropogenic climate change (rising temperatures and oceans, drought, wildfire, famine, refugees within the paradigm of late-stage capitalism) equate to a wicked problem. Yet, the problem is not humanity's alone. Living nonhuman organisms experience ecological shifts and disruptions also. Climate change requires a more-than-human perspective if we are to approach these problems ethically. HCI has become increasingly interested in the projects, visions, and narratives that investigate this complexity. However, research and pedagogy do not always emerge at the same rate; questions of how to teach this remain. In this article, we offer a description of and reflection on two of our courses from September-December 2020 and March-June 2021, offered at the University of Washington, Seattle, as examples of Value Sensitive Speculative Design (VSSD) in HCI pedagogy in the face of climate change. A collective group of 20 graduate and undergraduate students worked together over the course of two 10-week quarters in virtual sessions. Building on the Value Sensitive Design framework, we used speculative, discursive, and more-than-human concepts as an approach to expand the student’s ‘designer mindset’ and ability to notice complexity and richness in emerging and entangled relations. We discuss the struggles and troubles and conclude with future work &/or further design education.
Fostering Creative Confidence with SCD in Interaction Design Education
Authors: Boer Laurens , Jenkins Tom
Published: April 2022

Creative confidence is a concept that has been popularly linked to design thinking in more generalist interaction design education. Based on an analysis of creative confidence, however, we propose that Speculative and Critical Design practices (SCD) can be a better perspective for developing creative confidence in aspiring designers. We present how we have taught two subsequent SCD courses as part of a short 2-year generalist interaction design master’s programme. Based on the outcome of selected student projects, course evaluations, and personal reflections, we articulate the promises and pitfalls of using SCD to foster creative confidence.

Women’s Endogenous Bargaining Power and Fertility
Preferences: A Collective Model Approach in Pakistan
Authors: Ali Shaikh Dr. Qurra-tul-ain
Published: April 2022

This study introduces a collective model of fertility decisions (where preferences
towards children may differ between couples), by using the Pakistan Demographic
and Health Survey (2017-18) data with an instrumental variables (IV) approach.
The age and occupational difference between spouses, the wife’s cash earnings
relative to husband, wealth quintiles, the beating of a wife by the husband is
justified, media exposure, current use of any contraceptive have shown direct and
positive impacts on women’s bargaining power. Accounting for the endogeneity of
bargaining power, age, education, and occupational difference and their square
terms and wife’s cash earnings relative to husband’s cash earnings may use as
instruments. The results of IV estimation showed that women’s bargaining power,
wealth quintiles, beating of wife by husband are justified, media exposure, current
use of any contraceptive, and types of method (modern) came out as highly
significant determinants in reducing the husband’s fertility preferences. The
findings recommend that improving women’s bargaining power, educational
attainment, exposure to the media, and contraceptive practice for achieving desired
fertility preferences, are some of the substantial challenges on which policymakers
should pay careful consideration in Pakistan.

The First Biclique Cryptanalysis of Serpent-256
Authors: Carvalho Gabriel C. de , Kowada Luis A. B.
Published: April 2022

The Serpent cipher was one of the finalists of the AES process and as of today there is no method for finding the key with fewer attempts than that of an exhaustive search of all possible keys, even when using known or chosen plaintexts for an attack. This work presents the first two biclique attacks for the full-round Serpent-256. The first uses a dimension 4 biclique while the second uses a dimension 8 biclique. The one with lower dimension covers nearly 4 complete rounds of the cipher, which is the reason for the lower time complexity when compared with the other attack (which covers nearly 3 rounds of the cipher). On the other hand, the second attack needs a lot less pairs of plaintexts for it to be done. The attacks require 2255.21 and 2255.45 full computations of Serpent-256 using 288 and 260 chosen ciphertexts respectively with negligible memory.

Authors: Oliveira Muryllo Pimenta de , Silva Carlo Marcelo Revoredo da
Published: April 2022

A utilização de firewalls baseados em nuvem como o CloudFlare demonstrou ser eficaz na contenção de ataques no protocolo HTTP direcionados ao domínio DNS. Contudo, ainda assim é possível obter o endereço real do servidor protegido e atacá-lo diretamente consultando de forma automatizada registros e históricos DNS. Diante essa lacuna, este artigo apresenta uma arquitetura de firewall derivado do OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set baseada em ganchos das funções de I/O no socket TCP que permitem a escrita de regras de entrada e saída capazes de conter ataques direcionados ao protocolo HTTP no endereço do servidor real. Resultados obtidos no ambiente de testes controlado e no ambiente real mostraram que a arquitetura aplicada foi eficaz na contenção de tentativas de injeções remotas de código, injeções de SQL, força bruta e até ataques DoS de botnets russas e chinesas. Esses resultados foram obtidos através do uso de regras para vetores de ataques comuns extraídas do Core Rule Set (CRS) aliado ao uso de desvios nas chamadas padrões das funções do framework Express para o qual o firewall é direcionado a ser utilizado.

Nos últimos anos foram propostas diversas técnicas para detecção de intrusão em rede. Porém, apesar dos resultados promissores reportados, essas técnicas não lidam com as mudanças de tráfego de rede ao longo do tempo. Neste artigo, uma abordagem baseada em aprendizagem por reforço e avaliação da confiabilidade das classificações é proposta para manter a acurácia do sistema ao longo do tempo. Com essa técnica buscamos construir modelos capazes de manter a acurácia por maiores períodos e avaliar confiabilidade mantendo a acurácia mesmo com modelos desatualizados. Experimentos realizados em 1 ano de tráfego, demonstraram que a abordagem proposta é capaz de manter a acurácia por 8 meses e a confiabilidade pelo período avaliado.
Applying Zero Trust Principles to Secure Industrial Control Networks

Published: April 2022

The defense in depth principles, normally used by industrial control networks (ICN), may no longer be adequate in an industry 4.0 scenario, which the sensors, actuators and supervisory systems needs to communicate directly to the cloud. The Zero Trust Architecture is raising as de facto standard for securing cloud application and can be used to protect an ICN, but normally it is applicable only by replacing existing applications and network gears. This preliminary work presents an option to apply the Zero Trust principles on ICN, maintaining the existent systems and network.
Begehren und Sinn
Authors: Kühn Rolf
Published: April 2022

Das Buch intendiert eine Klärung der prinzipiellen Grundlagen für einen existentiell wie gesellschaftlich immer wichtiger werdenden Erfahrungsbereich, wie ihn die Begegnung zwischen Patient und Therapeut darstellt, um sowohl aus tiefenpsychologischer wie phänomenologischer Perspektive nach der »Wirklichkeit« einer solchen Beziehung zu fragen. Der Haupttitel »Begehren und Sinn« verweist dabei auf eine doppelte Struktur, die in der bisherigen Tradition auch mit Trieb und Existenz bezeichnet wurde, aber letztlich auf einen gemeinsamen Ursprung zurückverweist, der als rein subjektives, intensives wie pathisches Leben bezeichnet wird. Damit ist eine radikale Einheit der Leiblichkeit gekennzeichnet, die sich in die Welt als Sinn oder Intentionalität hinein entwirft, aber dies vor-ontologisch nicht vermöchte, ohne an eine lebendige Bewegung zurückgebunden zu sein, welche das Begehren darstellt. In diesem Begriff findet sich auch die neo-psychoanalytische Weiterführung Freuds durch Lacan mit den entsprechenden meta-psychologischen Auseinandersetzungen angedeutet, so wie der Sinnbegriff hauptsächlich auf Beschreibungen Husserls und Ricoeurs im Zusammenhang mit Daseins- und Existenzanalyse (Binswanger, Frankl) rekursiert, wobei ebenfalls der Beitrag von Heidegger und Michel Henry durchgehend gewürdigt wird. Methodische und technische Fragen zum therapeutischen Prozess werden so in einen größeren Zusammenhang gestellt und schulübergreifend nachvollziehbar.
Die Analysis im Wandel und im Widerstreit
Authors: Spalt Detlef D.
Published: April 2022

Titel wie „6000 Jahre Mathematik“, „5000 Jahre Geometrie“, „4000 Jahre Algebra“ und „3000 Jahre Analysis“ sind grundfalsch. Die Mathematik, mit der wir es zu tun haben, hat ihre Formierungsgeschichte in den letzten knapp 400 Jahren erfahren.

Diese Studie zeigt, wie heftig um jeden der Grundbegriffe der Mathematik (wie Zahl, Größe, Wert, Funktion, Differenzial) gerungen wurde, bis er in der heutigen Weise geprägt war. Es ist eine unendliche Geschichte um kleinste Details, die in kürzester Zeit im Streit durchfochten wurde und dennoch nicht ohne Vagheiten auskam, weil sich nichts Besseres finden ließ - für die Rechnung aber reichte es allemal.

Zugleich bedeutet die Darstellung der Analysis seit Descartes eine Würdigung der Arbeit der Mathematiker und deren Konsequenzen: den dramatischen Begriffs- und damit Bedeutungswandel grundlegender Lehrsätze der Analysis.
Verbesserte Menschen

Published: April 2022

Was zunächst nur als verheißungsvolle Utopie am Zukunftshorizont der Gentechnik aufschien, ist längst dem bioethischen Diskurs entwachsen und konfrontiert uns mit grundlegenden Fragen unseres menschlichen Selbstverständnisses: die Verbesserung und zunehmende Technisierung des Menschen. In diesem Band wird das Thema Enhancement aus sozialphilosophischer und technikphilosophischer Perspektive behandelt. Thomas Zoglauer zeichnet die wesentlichen ethischen Argumentationslinien dieser Debatte nach und setzt sich kritisch mit dem Enhancement unter den Aspekten der Freiheit, sozialen Gerechtigkeit, Chancengleichheit und menschlichen Wohlergehens auseinander. Karsten Weber zeigt wie das Konzept des Cyborgs von der Science-Fiction-Literatur geprägt wurde und als utopisches Leitbild die Medizin- und Neurotechnik beeinflusst hat. Als Folge dieser Entwicklung beginnen sich die Unterschiede zwischen Mensch und Maschine und die damit verbundenen anthropologischen Dichotomien aufzulösen, was auch Konsequenzen für unser Menschenbild und die normative Bewertung des Enhancements hat.
Menschenwürde und Menschenrechte
Authors: Sandkühler Hans Jörg
Published: April 2022

»Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar.« Dieser Satz ist ein unbedingt bindender Rechtssatz und die Grundnorm für die nachfolgenden Grundrechte, mit denen die Würdegarantie nicht abwägbar ist. Die Würdenorm gilt aufgrund nationaler Verfassungen und transnationaler Rechtsinstitute wie der EU-Grundrechte-Charta und des internationalen Menschenrechte-Rechts absolut und universell. Dass die menschliche Würde täglich verletzt wird, mindert die Geltung der Norm nicht. Gleichwohl gibt es darüber, ob die Menschenwürde »unantastbar« ist, heftige Auseinandersetzungen. In den im ersten Teil des Buches erörterten Kontroversen wird oft eingewandt, der Begriff werde inflationär missbraucht, ja es gebe eine »Tyrannei der Würde«. Wer die Würdenorm aus verfassungsrechtlicher Unkenntnis relativieren wolle, trage zur Entrechtlichung der Ansprüche auf Achtung und Schutz bei. Im historischen zweiten Teil dieses Buches warnt Hans Jörg Sandkühler vor der Fiktion, der moderne Rechtsbegriff der Würde sei aus einer bruchlosen zweitausendjährigen Geschichte zu begründen. Vielmehr haben interessengeleitete ideengeschichtliche Rekonstruktionen die Menschenwürde als Konzept der Stoa, der Renaissance, der Aufklärung oder als christliches Konzept ausgewiesen. Die tatsächlichen Quellen der Menschenwürdegarantie moderner Verfassungen sind die Unrechtserfahrungen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die von der »Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte « geprägte Würdenorm ist - so das Ergebnis des dritten Teils des Buches - ein Gegenprogramm zur totalitären Missachtung des Individuums: eine Revolution der Rechtskultur, die es zu verteidigen gilt.
Über die Erfahrung von Bedeutsamkeit
Authors: Rodi Frithjof
Published: April 2022

Die Erfahrungen von Bedeutsamkeit und ihre Artikulation gehören einem Bereich der Forschung an, der sich einer strengen wissenschaftslogischen Analyse entzieht. Im Grenzgebiet von Hermeneutik, Logik und Rhetorik liegend bilden sie einen Phänomenbereich, in dem lebensweltliche Strukturen weit in die Schicht höherer kognitiver Leistungen hineinreichen. Rodi untersucht am Beispiel von historischen Epochenbegriffen, Metaphern, Anspielungen etc. die sinnbildende Funktion solcher »epidigmatisch« genannter Ausdrücke. Ihre prägnant-evokative Präsenz ist Bestandteil des jeweiligen Horizontes einer Kultur und bedarf der Berücksichtigung im interkulturellen Verstehen. Inhalt: Diesseits der Pragmatik. Semiotische und hermeneutische Aspekte der Reflexivität des Lebens * Bedeutsamkeit und Befremdlichkeit * Marken und Male. Über die Grenzen einer reinen Pragmatik * Die Artikulation des Eindrucks. Überlegungen im Anschluss an Georg Misch und Hans Lipps * Die energetische Bedeutungstheorie von Hans Lipps * Anspielungen. Zur Theorie der kulturellen Kommunikationseinheiten * Zur Metaphorik der Aneignung * Das Nahe-bringen von Überlieferung. Über die kulturellen Lebensbezüge der »Vertrautheit« und »Fremdheit« * Conditio Humana. Zu der gleichnamigen Schrift von Helmuth Plessner und zur Neuauflage seines Buches Die Stufen des Organischen und der Mensch * Kultur und Zivilisation. Versuch einer Neubesinnung auf ein abgewertetes Begriffspaar * Zugehörigkeit und Fremdkultur. Einige kritische Fragen an die philosophische Hermeneutik
Kant und der Rechtsstaat
Authors: Hruschka Joachim
Published: April 2022

Kant entwickelt im letzten Jahrzehnt des 18. Jahrhunderts als erster den Gedanken des Rechtsstaats, der bei ihm (lateinisch) „status iuridicus“ heißt, was er selbst mit „rechtlicher Zustand“ übersetzt. Einige seiner Anhänger erfinden als Übersetzung von „status iuridicus“ das Wort „Rechtsstaat“, das es bis dahin noch nicht gegeben hatte und das dann im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts Kants eigene Übersetzung verdrängt. Wichtige Regeln werden als Regeln des Rechtsstaats zuerst von Kant formuliert, so die Regel, die wir heute mit dem Rechtssprichwort „Keine Strafe ohne Gesetz“ wiedergeben, oder die Regel, dass die rechtsstaatlichen Organe verpflichtet sind, begangene Straftaten zu verfolgen, was wir heute als „Legalitätsprinzip“ bezeichnen. - In Kants Ethik steht der Begriff der Menschenwürde im Mittelpunkt. Diese Würde setzt voraus, dass der Mensch als ein geistiges Wesen betrachtet wird.
Lebenswelt Großstadt
Authors: Gleixner Wolfgang
Published: April 2022

Diese Arbeit reflektiert die Großstadt phänomenologisch konsequent als „Lebenswelt“ - die Lebenswelt Großstadt vorgestellt als Gestalt und Gestaltung wirklich wesentlichen Menschseins hier und jetzt. Damit, und das ist ein Ziel dieser Untersuchung, lässt sich eine Phänomenologie der Lebenswelt Großstadt nicht von einer existentiell gerichteten Anthropologie lösen. - Wir leben, arbeiten, lieben und leiden eben nicht in einer Lebenswelt an und für sich. Nicht eine abstrakt eingeführte Lebenswelt wird als das Fundament unseres Daseins vorgestellt, also unseres Wahrnehmens, Erkennens, Fühlens. nicht sie ist Horizont unseres Krankseins, unserer Kunst und unserer Religion. Vielmehr wird die Lebenswelt Großstadt phänomenologisch eingeführt als die Wirklichkeit, die unser Da-und-So-sein prägt und verändert. So reflektiert sich die Lebenswelt Großstadt phänomenologisch als „aktives“ und „passives“, als „willkürliches“ und „unwillkürliches“ existentielles Aktgeflecht, in und mit dem sich das leibhafte Dasein ganz und gar als In-der-Welt-sein eingefaltet erlebt. Lebenswelt Großstadt und unser Da-und-So-in-der-Welt-sein können phänomenologisch also gleichgesetzt werden. Somit ist Daseins-Analyse Lebenswelt-Analyse und umgekehrt. Das hätte - und darauf macht diese Arbeit besonders aufmerksam - Folgen für Psychologie, Medizin, Psychiatrie, und nicht zuletzt auch für die Theologie.
Platons Nachlass
Authors: Mai Helmut
Published: April 2022

Die vorliegende Untersuchung unternimmt es, im Durchgang durch Platons Nomoi einen Wandel im Rationalitätsverständnis bei Platon offenzulegen. Dieser vollzieht sich im Hintergrund der Veränderungen der politischen Theorie Platons, die dieses Werk auch dokumentiert und die vorrangig die Aufmerksamkeit der Forschung auf sich ziehen. In eingehenden Textanalysen, die die dialogische Situation und den in der Fiktion vorgestellten Status der Nomoi immer mitberücksichtigen, wird die besondere Rolle der musisch-religiösen Paideia in den Nomoi herausgearbeitet. Die veränderte Stellung der musisch-religiösen Paideia in den Nomoi wird in der Gegenüberstellung mit dem ausgeprägt intellektuellen Rationalitätsansatz in Buch VI und VII der Politeia bestätigt. Die Ausdeutung des so genannten Marionettengleichnisses, die Analyse des Gottesbeweises im X. Buch und die Untersuchung des Erziehungskonzepts der Mitglieder der »Nächtlichen Versammlung« erweisen vollends die Hochstellung der musisch-religiösen Paideia und den dadurch implizierten veränderten Rationalitätsbegriff bei Platon. Es ergibt sich so das Bild einer im Vergleich zur Politeia-Konzeption modifizierten Rationalität, einer aus Sensibilität, Intellektualität und Spiritualität konstituierten Vernünftigkeit, die nach den Vorstellungen des alten Platon die gemäße Weise ist, die Vollrealität unter den Bedingungen der menschlichen Schwäche zu erkennen und sich in und an ihr dauerhaft richtig zu orientieren.
Willy Moog (1888-1935): Ein Philosophenleben
Authors: Karafyllis Nicole Christine
Published: April 2022

Zum ersten Mal wird ein Buch zu Willy Moog vorgelegt, der sich 1935 als Philosophieprofessor der TH Braunschweig mit 47 Jahren das Leben nahm. Die quellenreiche Studie geht auf Spurensuche zu seinem Leben und umfangreichen Werk, das in Grundzügen vorgestellt wird. Sie stellt darüber hinaus Fragen an die jüngere Philosophiegeschichtsschreibung: warum manche Autoren bis heute vergessen werden und auf welche Weise Philosophiegeschichte von Philosoph(inn)en erzählt werden kann. Die Geschichte Moogs führt u.a. zu den Universitäten in Gießen, Greifswald und Braunschweig, dabei typische Problemfelder eines Professorenlebens im ersten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts verdeutlichend: von der Teilnahme am Ersten Weltkrieg und dem politischen Druck, sich für die Lehrerbildung nützlich zu machen, bis hin zur Berufungspraxis an Technischen Hochschulen.

Die Autorin Nicole C. Karafyllis zeichnet ein Lebensporträt von Willy Moog, dem Anhänger von Georg Simmel und Bewunderer von Husserls Phänomenologie. Unter Rückgriff auf bislang unbekannte Quellen werden zentrale Debatten in der deutschsprachigen Philosophie der 1910er und 1920er Jahre rekonstruiert, so unter anderem zum Psychologismusstreit, zu dem Moog 1919 an der Universität Greifswald seine Habilitationsschrift Logik, Psychologie und Psychologismus vorlegte, die nun jüngst wieder in den Fokus der Forschung getreten ist. Mit der vorliegenden Studie wird somit eine wichtige Lücke geschlossen. Im Anhang beigefügt ist eine Liste von Moogs Werken und Lehrveranstaltungen.
Philosophische Bildung und politische Urteilskraft
Authors: Torkler René
Published: April 2022

Die Arbeit formuliert einen zeitgemäßen Bildungsbegriff, der sich dennoch nicht in dem technologischen Kompetenzdenken erschöpft, das den gegenwärtigen Mainstream von Bildungstheorie und Didaktik so nachhaltig prägt. Dies erfolgt auf der Grundlage des hermeneutischen Verfahrens, welches Hannah Arendts Kant-Rezeption zugrunde liegt. Bildung wird als praktischer Prozess verstanden, durch den Formen der Weltorientierung erschlossen werden. Zudem wird deutlich gemacht, auf welche Weise philosophische Bildung eine wichtige Rolle für die politische Bildung von Schülerinnen, Schülern und allen sich Bildenden überhaupt spielt. Diese genuin politische Perspektive schließt eine Lücke in der philosophiedidaktischen Forschung der letzten Jahrzehnte.
Im Erleben Gott begegnen
Authors: Stammer Dennis
Published: April 2022

Kann „Gott“ Thema einer vernünftigen, undogmatischen Philosophie sein? Wenn ja, in welcher Weise? Über eine systematische Rekonstruktion des philosophischen Werkes von Simon L. Frank (1877–1950) werden diese Fragen erörtert. Der erkenntnismetaphysische Grundansatz Franks vereinigt Transzendentalphilosophie und Phänomenologie. Er führt zu einer „Fundamentalontologie“, die durch ihre immanente Verbindung zur Anthropologie wesentlich personale Ontologie ist. Der Überschritt zur philosophischen Theologie wird anhand des Begriffes „religiöser Erfahrung“ herausgearbeitet. Wissenschaftlichkeit sowie philosophische und religiöse Adäquatheit dieses Unterfangens werden überprüft. Dabei wird sowohl dem Verdacht auf „Ontotheologie“ als auch dem Vorwurf des „Pantheismus“ kritisch nachgegangen.
