Are Animals Capable of Thought?
Year of Publication: 2009
Reinhard BrandtYear of Publication: 2009
The age old question of whether animals are capable of thought has yet to be answered convincingly. This is due to the unresolved issue of what exactly counts as »thought« and how humans came to be capable of it.


The oldest answers involved a god or divine language creator that endowed humans with the gift of speech. These answers were countered with a naturalistic theory for genesis of...

Olaf BreidbachYear of Publication: 2008
How Cultural Knowledge is Created from Information and News
We live in a society that primarily generates knowledge rather than material things. Culture, as the connection between all possible interactions in a human society, transforms this knowledge that has evolved over time. What criteria should we apply to measure knowledge and information, and to what extent should we distinguish between the two?


First of all, information is simply only...

Culture of the Excuse
Year of Publication: 2011
Fritz BreithauptYear of Publication: 2011
Why do people tell each other things? Why did they learn to tell stories? What cultural achievements are linked to telling stories? And what is story telling in the first place? Fritz Breithaupt gives us an astounding answer to this question.

Telling stories allows us to present excuses. With an excuse, one can remove one’s head from the noose. The essence of an excuse...

A Dialectical Anthropology
Anthropological questions are widely discussed in philosophy once more, with neo-Aristotelian and neo-Kantian approaches dominating.

Man is that living being which makes itself what it understands itself to be. In...

On The Theory And Ethics Of A Form Of Influence

Fischer closes with the outline of an ethic of manipulation,...
