    Abstract: What role can the humanities play in shaping our common future? What are the values that guide us in the 21st century? How can we unleash the potential the humanities offer in a time of multiple crises? This volume tackles some of these fundamental questions, acknowledging and developing the changing role of academic discourse in a turbulent world. This timely book argues that the humanities engender conceptual tools that are capable of reconciling theory and practice. In a bold move, we call for the humanities to reach beyond the confines of universities and engage in the most urgent debates facing humanity today - in a multidisciplinary, transformative, and constructive way. This is a blueprint for how societal change can be inclusive and equitable for the good of humans and non-humans alike

    Abstract: "We are, all of us, everywhere, always, enmeshed in a web of rules and constraints. Rules fix the beginning and end of the working day and the school year, direct the ebb and flow of traffic on the roads, dictate who can be married to whom and how, place the fork to the right or the left of the plate, lay down the meter and rhyme scheme of a Petrarchan sonnet, and order the rites of birth and death. Cultures notoriously differ as to the content of their rules, but there is no culture without rules. In this book, historian of science Lorraine Daston adopts a long term perspective for studying rules from diverse sources, including monastic orders, cookbooks, and mathematical algorithms. She argues that in the Western tradition most rules can be characterized as one of the following: tools of measurement and calculation, models or paradigms, or laws. Moreover, they exist on spectra from specific to general, flexible to rigid and the specific-to-general, and universal-to-particular. In investigating how rules work, how they don't work, how they've changed across time, and why exceptions are necessary, Daston paints a vivid picture of Western civilization from the antiquity to the present"--

    Abstract: Ein Virus dominiert weltweit die Kommunikationsströme. »Corona« ist von gesamtgesellschaftlicher Relevanz, das Kennzeichen jeder Krise. Nicht nur die Körper sind infiziert, auch die Gesellschaft ist es. Ein Zwang zum Urteilen und Handeln unter Zeitnot, eine unbestimmte Verpflichtung zur Aktion setzt Politik, Wirtschaft, Massenmedien und nicht zuletzt die Wissenschaft unter Druck. Man könnte von einer sozialen Immunantwort der Gesellschaft sprechen, einem Krisenmanagement, das unterschiedliche kommunikative Anschlüsse organisiert; Anschlüsse, die zum Virus ein Verhältnis suchen. Da es in der modernen Gesellschaft keine Zentralinstanz mehr gibt, die grundlegende Direktiven festlegt, bildet jeder der gesellschaftlichen Teilbereiche andere Antikörper aus. »Corona« ist für die Politik etwas anderes als für die Wirtschaft, für die Religion etwas anderes als für die Wissenschaft.
    Abstract: Allerdings ist die Corona-Krise nicht nur ein Ausnahmezustand, der zwei unterschiedliche Strukturen miteinander konfrontiert: die gewohnten, die wir alltäglich als ›normal‹ empfinden, und jene des Lockdowns und der Kontaktbeschränkungen, die diese unterbrechen. Die Corona-Krise ist auch ein Anlass, jenseits globaler Lieferketten über die eigene Identität nachzudenken. Wir können sie als Übung begreifen, denn ähnliche und vielleicht tödlichere Infektionskrankheiten können jederzeit neu auftreten. Sie finden in der Struktur der Weltgesellschaft beste Bedingungen vor. Hat Corona sie womöglich für immer verändert? Vorliegender Sammelband ist der Versuch, dem öffentlichen Interesse an wissenschaftlichen Resultaten ohne Verlust an Komplexität und Sinngenauigkeit gerecht zu werden.
    Abstract: Er bringt das Nachdenken über die Pandemie in Form eines interdisziplinären Projekts auf die Höhe der gesellschaftlichen Praxis: Soziologie, Philosophie, Psychologie, Theologie, Rechtswissenschaft, Medizin und andere wissenschaftliche Programme leuchten die unterschiedlichen Dimensionen des »Gegenstands« aus, um der übergreifenden Fragestellung gerecht zu werden, die das Virus für unsere Gesellschaft darstellt.

    Description / Table of Contents: 'Deep adaptation' refers to the personal and collective changes that might help us to prepare for - and live with - a climate-influenced breakdown or collapse of our societies. It is a framework for responding to the terrifying realization of increasing disruption by committing ourselves to reducing suffering while saving more of society and the natural world. This is the first book to show how professionals across different sectors are beginning to incorporate the acceptance of likely or unfolding societal breakdown into their work and lives. They do not assume that our current economic, social and political systems can be made resilient in the face of climate change but, instead, they demonstrate the caring and creative ways that people are responding to the most difficult realization with which humanity may ever have to come to terms. Edited by the originator of the concept of deep adaptation, Jem Bendell, and a leading climate activist and strategist, Rupert Read, this book is the essential introduction to the concept, practice and emerging global movement of Deep Adaptation to climate chaos

    Abstract: Conventional wisdom has it that the sciences, properly pursued, constitute a pure, value-free method of obtaining knowledge about the natural world. In light of the social and normative dimensions of many scientific debates, Helen Longino finds that general accounts of scientific methodology cannot support this common belief. Focusing on the notion of evidence, the author argues that a methodology powerful enough to account for theories of any scope and depth is incapable of ruling out the influence of social and cultural values in the very structuring of knowledge. The objectivity of scientific inquiry can nevertheless be maintained, she proposes, by understanding scientific inquiry as a social rather than an individual process. Seeking to open a dialogue between methodologists and social critics of the sciences, Longino develops this concept of "contextual empiricism" in an analysis of research programs that have drawn criticism from feminists. Examining theories of human evolution and of prenatal hormonal determination of "gender-role" behavior, of sex differences in cognition, and of sexual orientation, the author shows how assumptions laden with social values affect the description, presentation, and interpretation of data. In particular, Longino argues that research on the hormonal basis of "sex-differentiated behavior" involves assumptions not only about gender relations but also about human action and agency. She concludes with a discussion of the relation between science, values, and ideology, based on the work of Habermas, Foucault, Keller, and Haraway
