The Subject

In this book, Wolfram Hogrebe deals with the realm of the intermediate – an ancient philosophical tradition according to which philosophical thinking is concerned with a kind of intermediate space that holds the orders of concepts and ideas in a remarkable limbo. The in-between is, as it were, a medium sustaining both thoughts and languages and is thus likely to disclose uncharted areas where thinking itself changes. Hogrebe shows how frequently this in-between, which has also been known to surface in experiences of nature, is the subject theme of a host of different philosophers and poets such as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Martin Heidegger, Henry David Thoreau and Peter Handke.

The Way

In this essay, we consider the philosophical method of reading and writing, of communication. Normally, we interpret the works of the great philosophers and explain them in papers and presentations. The thinking of Martin Heidegger has given us an indication of an entirely different method of philosophical thinking. In the 1930s, he gave a series of lectures on Nietzsche. In them, he calls his own way of reading and writing a confrontation (Auseinandersetzung) with Nietzsche. We consider the specific character of confrontation, and in what ways it is different from communication. First, we develop an answer to the question of how Heidegger reads Nietzsche. Does he give a charitable or a violent interpretation of Nietzsche and, if neither, how can his confrontation with Nietzsche be characterized? With this, we obtain an indication of the way we have to read Heidegger, indeed, of philosophical reading and writing as such.

Chinese Civil Society

AbstractThis paper critiques current academic usage of the analytic category of ‘civil society’ in recent studies of contemporary China. The problem is not the lack of good empirical work (which abounds), but rather the way in which understandings of ‘civil society’ as applied to China have remained insulated from wider theoretical debates emerging from other parts of the world which have queried the productive utility of these understandings. Specifically, recent studies of China continue to define civil society through its alleged autonomy from the state. This definition has led to unsettling discrepancies between theory and empirical knowledge about Chinese society. Moreover, it has caused researchers to pay little attention to the equally complicated question of whether there are sufficient horizontal linkages among various social actors to constitute a civil society in China in the first place. This paper will argue that lessons learned from the rich civil society tradition and scholarship from other parts of the world may be adapted fruitfully to generate more meaningful and nuanced analyses of Chinese associations.

Multiple Resource

The allocation of resources is a fundamental component of all life history models. Inherent in these models is the concept of allocation trade-offs, where finite resources must be allocated to certain life history traits at the expense of others. Reproduction is thought to be a costly trait in most organisms, and thus allocation to reproduction could drive the evolution of other life history traits. Much research has examined patterns of resource allocation to reproduction and the resulting trade-offs with other life history traits, both within and among taxa. In many respects, empirical work on crustaceans has pioneered our understanding of life history evolution. In this chapter, we examine the great diversity in allocation of resources to reproduction among crustaceans. For many years, crustaceans have served as important models in understanding the importance of a variety of resources (e.g., energy, inorganic nutrients, organic nutrients) to reproduction. Diversity in allocation to reproduction is evident regardless of the resource under investigation. Because of the interconnectedness among such resource parameters, and the rapid change in the availability of such resources in the Anthropocene, frameworks integrating variation in multiple resource axes have much promise in discovering general rules underlying reproductive allocation in natural populations. Given the diverse allocation strategies employed, and the rich history of studies examining reproductive allocation, crustaceans will continue to be an important taxon for such work.

The paper characterizes Stepan Khorob’s creative individuality and highlights his contribution into the development of Ukrainian literary studies of the 20th – 21st centuries. It also traces his way of formation as a journalist, theatrical reviewer, historian of literature and critic, as well as the scholar’s activity as a University lecturer. The dominants of his scholarly and critical works are defi ned as universality of philosophical thinking, academic fundamentality, analytical approach to the comprehension of a fi ctional text that leads to  the profound understanding of life in general. A special attention is paid to the scholar’s interest in the genre of drama (in particular religious drama and Ivan Franko’s plays). The methodological basis for Stepan Khorob’s research studies is the national existential dominant, attention to the European literary and scholarly heritage. In the rich spectrum of his scholarly interests one can recognize a humanistic tradition of Ukrainian literary studies inherited from Ivan Franko. A special respect for the cultural legacy encouraged the scholar to focus on the works by Western Ukrainian playwrights of the 1920s–1930s, withdrawn from the history of Ukrainian culture by the occupant’s censorship of the time. The paper also mentions Stepan Khorob’s work on publication of the works by Volodymyr Derzhavyn, Leonid Biletskyi, Leonid Rudnytskyi and popularization of these diaspora scholars’ names and research  works among students. In addition, it outlines achievements of Stepan Khorob as a translator from  the Belarusian language.  

The nature of well-being objective function in tax-free regime of ethico-economics

Simulation Problem

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explain the effect of a tax-free regime of socioeconomics in the social well-being function. This paper carries on the message that has been recognized in the economic theory and by many for a long time now. This is that the incidence of all forms of taxes – direct and indirect taxes – proves to cause inequitable distribution of wealth. The rich still comprises the top 1 per cent of the income earners despite the existence of heavy tax burden. This paper goes beyond this observation and its explanation to make the case that the tax regime also causes distortionary effects in the generalized system of social and economic relations. Design/methodology/approach In the midst of the generalized system of simulating the well-being function, subject to what is called the circular causation system of the endogenous variables is explained by the critical parameter of the epistemic nature in the unity of knowledge by complementarities between the variables signifying the good choices. Findings This paper also contrarily establishes and explains the nature of equitable production and distribution of income in society at large. The tax-free regime is explained to generate and sustain balanced inter-causality between the critical variables in the generalized system of equations for simulating the well-being function. Some of the special properties of the evolutionary learning kind of the well-being simulation problem in the tax-free regime are brought out. Research limitations/implications Empirical work could follow. Practical implications Of special interest are the Arab Middle Eastern countries, most of which do not levy tax on households; with a small rate on businesses. Social implications This paper goes beyond this observation and its explanation to make the case that the tax regime also causes distortionary effects in the generalized system of social and economic relations. Most importantly, the presence of tax regime disturbs the balanced forms of inter-causality between the critical variables of the social and economic type. The social well-being is thus eroded in the midst of a tax regime. Originality/value This paper is a rare one of its kind to bring out the question surrounding the tax-free regimes usually practiced in Islamic fiscal theory and today adopted by many Muslim countries in the Middle East.

"The Age of Non-Philosophy": Martin Heidegger and François Laruelle In his lessons at the College of France, Merleau-Ponty noticed that something ended with Hegel and that we perhaps entered in an age of non-philosophy. This poses the question if philosophy is coming to an end or if it can be rebuild from within by retaining its essence. While Merleau-Ponty is trying to restore philosophy from the inside, Heidegger and Laruelle open two different paths of a non-philosophical thinking from the outside. The purpose of the article is to compare these two paths more in detail in order to articulate their differences as to the problems of identity, of the "thing of thought" (Sache des Denkens), of the role of science etc., and to show the radicality of Laruelle's undertaking, which aims not a Verwindung (recollection), nor an Überwindung (overcoming) of philosophy but its appropriation in a new unified theory of thought. One of the main thesis of the author is that Heidegger should not be considered only as a "philosopher of difference" (Laruelle) but also as a thinker of identity as he has expounded four different identity concepts. Hence, it is argued that if Laruelle's critique of the convertibility of Erignis' identity is legitimate, his critique of Heidegger's amphibology of the One is questionable.

Abstract. Digitalization, enhanced storage capacities, and the Internet of Things increase the volume of data in modern organizations. To process and make use of these data and to avoid information overload, management information systems (MIS) are introduced that collect, process, and analyze relevant data. However, a precondition for the application of MIS is that users trust them. Extending accounts of trust in automation and trust in technology, we introduce a new model of trust in MIS that addresses the conceptual ambiguities of existing conceptualizations of trust and integrates initial empirical work in this field. In doing so, we differentiate between perceived trustworthiness of an MIS, experienced trust in an MIS, intentions to use an MIS, and actual use of an MIS. Moreover, we consider users’ perceived risks and contextual factors (e. g., autonomy at work) as moderators. The introduced model offers guidelines for future research and initial suggestions to foster trust-based MIS use.
