Theoretical Perspective on Smell is the first collection of scholarly articles to be devoted exclusively to philosophical research on olfaction. The essays, published here for the first time, bring together leading theorists working on smell in a format that allows for deep engagement with the emerging field, while also providing those new to the philosophy of smell with a resource to begin their journey. The volume’s 14 chapters are organized into four parts:

I. The Importance and Beauty of SmellII. Smell in Time and SpaceIII. What We Perceive through SmellIV. Smell and Other Senses

The collection solidifies the area as an important emerging branch of perceptual philosophy by presenting the cutting edge research being done by innovative early career researchers, as well as by those more senior and established within the field.

This book reconsiders the major current topics in the philosophy of perception using olfaction as the paradigm sense. The author reveals how many of the most basic concepts of philosophy of perception are based on peculiarities of visual perception not found in other modalities, and addresses how different the philosophy of perception would be if based on olfaction. The book addresses several aspects of olfaction, including perceptual qualities, percepts, olfaction and cognitive processes, and consciousness.

The first part of the book considers perception with respect to its ability to guide behaviors and to make information available to cognitive processes. The author continues by addressing the differences between conscious and non-conscious olfactory perception, and presents an argument for an important role of attention in conscious processes. The book concludes by discussing the function of conscious brain processes and their link to guiding behaviors in complex situations.

Der Autor behandelt die jüngsten Entwicklungen der Managerhaftung sowie ausgewählte rechtliche Probleme der D&O-Versicherung. Schwerpunkte bilden die Rechtmäßigkeit des sog. Claims-made-Prinzips, die Verteilung einer nicht ausreichenden Versicherungssumme unter den Versicherten sowie die Rechtsfolgen bei kollidierenden Subsidiaritätsklauseln.
