A novel way of looking at information challenges longstanding dogmas-from a preeminent German thinkerIt is widely agreed that we live in an “information age,” but what exactly is information? This small, seemingly facile question is in fact surprisingly difficult, and it has occupied many of the best philosophical minds of the modern age. In this wholly original addition to the quest to understand information, German philosopher Peter Janich argues that our understanding of information is based in the much broader history of scientific naturalism-the belief that science is a fundamental aspect of the world and not a human contrivance. His novel critique of this widespread dogma grounds science in human life practices and wrestles with the very fundamentals of the scientific way of understanding reality.Offering new perspectives on the major contemporary fields of communications technology, neurobiology, and artificial intelligence, What Is Information? provides a deep look into humanity in an information age. Its arguments show ways of reconciling the sciences and the humanities, shining new light on the relationship of science to the natural world.

Nach welchen Kriterien legt man Grenzwerte für Chemikalien - ob am Arbeitsplatz, im Haushalt oder in der Umwelt - fest? Ein Frage, deren Aktualität nicht nur für Wissenschaftler, sondern auch für die Bevölkerung immens zunimmt und die sich nicht einseitig aus der Sicht der Naturwissenschaft beantworten läßt. Stichworte wie subjektive Risikowahrnehmung, intuitive Toxikologie oder erkenntnistheoretische Aspekte des "wahren Meßwertes" zeigen, daß hier auch Juristen, Soziologen, Philosophen und Umweltmediziner gefordert sind. Dem Rechnung tragend, kommen in dieser Sammlung von Beiträgen zu einer einschlägigen Tagung des Stifterverbandes für die Deutsche Wissenschaft Fachleute verschiedenster Disziplinen zu Wort. Sie diskutieren philosophisch-ethische Spannungen ebenso wie technische, analytische und toxikologische Fortschritte bei der Festlegung von Grenzwerten. Das hochinteressante Buch, mehr als eine Aneinanderreihung fachspezifischer Vorträge, vermittelt ein facettenreiches Bild eines komplizierten Sachverhalts.

Since nanotechnology is considered a key for the 21st century, its promises have been assessed by various scientific communities. By meeting at the nanoscale, various disciplines, from physics via chemistry to biology, from engineering to medicine, contribute synergetically to the newly created knowledge base and the resulting technological advances. Considering that large societal sectors will be impacted, the unique aspect of this two-year study was to assess nanotechnology from various interrelated perspectives: scientific progress, industrial relevance, economic potential, educational needs, potential adverse health effects, and philosophical aspects. The goal of this study was to derive integrated recommendations which consider the large range of societal implications reflecting the different views in an integrative manner. The study attempts to link previously isolated statements, bundling the various concepts and giving unified recommendations to decision makers in relevant society sectors such as politics, economy and research. Special attention was given to the European situation with respect to commercial consequences, an aspect that has not yet received the attention it deserves so far.

Should humans be seen as natural or cultural objects? In this volume a philospher and a psychologist discuss this question. There´s generally nothing new to the sciences dealing with human life; what´s new is the debate going on between the natural and the cultural sciences about who is more responsible for human existence. The philospher Peter Janich is concerned with how humans are treated by science, and the psychologist Rolf Oerter with how the modern picture of humanity holds up in various different cultures. The contributions and discussions presented here deal with the following matters:-What do the natural and cultural sciences see when they study human life?-What is the relationship between culture and nature – are they opposites or are they in fact the same thing?-Where did consciousness and the human mind originate?-What role does language play in understanding human cultures?

Der erste Band des neuen Jahrbuchs nimmt Stellung zu dem aktuellen Diskurs über das Problem der Willensfreiheit, die neuerdings durch die Befunde der Neurowissenschaft in Frage gestellt wurde. In dreizehn Beiträgen analysieren und kritisieren einschlägig aus gewiesene Autoren (darunter Gethmann, Habermas und Janich) das berühmt-berüchtigte Manifest der "elf führenden Neurowissenschaftler" in der Zeitschrift ''Geist und Gehirn'', in dem vorausgesagt wird, "in absehbarer Zeit" psychische Vorgänge wie Empfindungen und Gefühle, Gedanken und Entscheidungen aus physikochemischen Vorgängen des Gehirns erklären und voraussagen zu können.
