The Ethical Vision of George Eliot is one of the first monographs devoted entirely to the ethical thought of George Eliot, a profoundly significant, influential figure not only in nineteenth-century English and European literature, nineteenth-century women’s writing, the history of the novel, and Victorian intellectual culture, but also in the field of literary ethics. Ethics are a predominant theme in Eliot’s fictional and non-fictional writings. Her ethical insights and ideas are a defining element of her greatness as an artist and novelist.

Through meticulous close readings of Eliot’s fiction, essays, and letters, The Ethical Vision of George Eliot presents an original, complex definition of her ethical vision as she developed it over the course of her career. It examines major novels like Adam Bede, Middlemarch, and Daniel Deronda; many of Eliot’s most significant essays; and devotes two entire chapters to Eliot’s final book Impressions of Theophrastus Such, an idiosyncratic collection of character sketches that Eliot scholars have heretofore generally overlooked or ignored.

The Ethical Vision of George Eliot demonstrates that Eliot defined her ethical vision alternately in terms of revealing and strengthening a fundamental human communion that links us to other persons, however different and remote from ourselves; and in terms of recognizing and respecting the otherness of other persons, and of the universe more generally, from ourselves. Over the course of her career, Eliot increasingly transitions from the former towards the latter imperative, but she also considerably complicates her conception of otherness, and of what it means to be ethically responsible to it.

Dieses Fachbuch gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über das moderne Organisationsmittel der Intralogistik. Fahrerlose Transportsysteme (FTS) sind flurgebundene Systeme, die innerbetrieblich innerhalb und/oder außerhalb von Gebäuden eingesetzt werden. Seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre drängt das FTS erfolgreich in fast alle Branchen der Industrie und in viele öffentliche Bereiche, wie z. B. Krankenhäuser. Es werden die technologischen Standards von allen FTS-relevanten Komponenten und Funktionen erläutert sowie zahlreiche Praxisbeispiele z. B. aus der Automobilindustrie, Elektro- und Lebensmittelindustrie vorgestellt. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die an den VDI-Richtlinien angelehnte praxisnahe Planung solcher Intralogistik-Systeme einschließlich Hinweisen und Tipps für ein erfolgreiches Projektmanagement bei der Einführung eines FTS. Die vorliegende Auflage wurde komplett überarbeitet, neu strukturiert und spiegelt die rasanten Entwicklungen in der Technik und den Märkten wider.

This professional book provides a comprehensive overview of the modern organisational tool of intralogistics. Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGV Systems) are floor-based systems that are used internally inside and/or outside of buildings. Since the mid-1990s, AGV Systems have successfully penetrated almost all sectors of industry and many public areas, such as hospitals. The technological standards of all AGV-relevant components and functions are explained and numerous practical examples, e.g. from the automotive, electrical and food industries, are presented. Another focus is the practical planning of such intralogistics systems based on the VDI guidelines, including hints and tips for successful project management when introducing an AGV System. This edition has been completely revised, restructured and reflects the rapid developments in technology and markets.

Dieses Fachbuch gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die moderne Intralogistik mit Fahrerlosen Transportsystemen (FTS). Diese flurgebundenen Systeme werden seit über 60 Jahren innerbetrieblich in fast allen Branchen der Industrie sowie in vielen öffentlichen Bereichen, wie z. B. Krankenhäusern, eingesetzt. Das Buch zeigt, wie vielfältig die Anwendungen sind und welche technologischen Standards zur Verfügung stehen. Dabei werden zahlreiche Umsetzungen aus den unterschiedlichsten Branchen, wie beispielsweise Automobil-, Elektro-, Pharma und Lebensmittelindustrie vorgestellt. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die ganzheitliche Planung solcher Systeme, die ausführlich mit allen Planungsschritten beschrieben wird, angereichert durch zahlreiche wertvolle Hinweise. Die vierte Auflage wurde vollständig überarbeitet und geht auf aktuelle Entwicklungen ein, wie standardisierte Datenschnittstellen, autonome Funktionen zur Flexibilisierung oder neue Anwendungen inöffentlich zugänglichen Bereichen. In diesem Zuge werden Sinnhaftigkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit der neuen Entwicklungen ebenfalls beleuchtet.
