The series Handbooks of Linguistics and Communication Science is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction.

The notion of “human rights” is widely used in political and moral discussions. The core idea, that all human beings have some inalienable basic rights, is appealing and has an eminently practical function: It allows moral criticism of various wrongs and calls for action in order to prevent them. On the other hand it is unclear what exactly a human right is. Human rights lack a convincing conceptual foundation that would be able to compel the wrong-doer to accept human rights claims as well-founded. Hence the practical function faces theoretical doubts. The present collection takes up the tension between the wide political use of human rights claims and the intellectual skepticism about them. In particular two major issues are identified that call for conceptual clarification in order to better understand human rights claims both in theory and in practice: the question of how to justify human rights and the tension between universal normative claims and particular moralities.

Die Beschäftigung und Arbeit der Zukunft findet in Dienstleistungssystemen statt. Dienstleistungssysteme sind ein Resultat der digitalen Transformation. Trotzdem berücksichtigen Politik, Wissenschaft und Forschung die Konsequenzen der digitalen Transformation für die Gestaltung der Dienstleistungsarbeit zu wenig. Am Beispiel der Logistik, Sozialwirtschaft und der Wissensdienstleistungen werden die Konsequenzen und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für Arbeit und Beschäftigung auf den Ebenen "Gesellschaft", "Dienstleistungen, Markt, Wirtschaft", "Dienstleistungsentwicklung", "Dienstleistungsproduktion" und "Modellentwicklung" aus unterschiedlichen fachlichen Perspektiven dargestellt. Das von zwanzig Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern verfasste Plädoyer "Dienstleistung wird High-Tech" skizziert die Gestaltungslinien für eine Dienstleistungs-Spitzenforschung. Sie können als Wegbereiter für internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit, hohen Kundennutzen und gute Arbeit in der digitalen Transformation dienen.

This volume provides a framework for approaching and understanding mental normativity. It presents cutting-edge research on the ethics of belief as well as innovative research beyond the normativity of belief—and towards an ethics of mind. By moving beyond traditional issues of epistemology the contributors discuss the most current ideas revolving around rationality, responsibility, and normativity. The book’s chapters are divided into two main parts. Part I discusses contemporary issues surrounding the normativity of belief. The essays here cover topics such as control over belief and its implication for the ethics of belief, the role of the epistemic community for the possibility of epistemic normativity, responsibility for believing, doxastic partiality in friendship, the structure and content of epistemic norms, and the norms for suspension of judgment. In Part II the focus shifts from the practical dimensions of belief to the normativity and rationality of other mental states—especially blame, passing thoughts, fantasies, decisions, and emotions. These essays illustrate how we might approach an ethics of mind by focusing not only on belief, but also on debates about responsibility, rationality, the normativity of involuntary mental states. The Ethics of Belief and Beyond paves the way towards an ethics of mind by building on and contributing to recent philosophical discussions in the ethics of belief and the normativity of other mental phenomena. It will be of interest to upper-level students and researchers working in epistemology, ethics, philosophy of action, philosophy of mind, and moral psychology.
