This volume offers a multidisciplinary engagement with the work of Tim Ingold. Involved in a critical long-term exploration of the relationships between human beings, organisms, and their environment, Ingold has become one of the most influential, innovative, and prolific writers in anthropology in recent decades. His work transcends established academic and disciplinary boundaries and his thinking continues to have a significant impact on numerous areas of research and other intellectual and artistic spheres. The contributions to this book are drawn from several fields, including social anthropology, archaeology, rock art studies, philosophy, and science and technology studies. The chapters critically engage with Ingold’s approaches and ideas in relation to a variety of case studies that include the exploration of Australian rock art, electricity in Pakistan, Spanish farmhouses and sensory dimensions of educational practices. Emphasising the importance of dialogue and debate, there is also a response to the contributions by Tim Ingold himself. The volume will appeal to a wide range of audiences and provide new avenues of theoretically informed anthropological exploration into the many realities and expressions of human life.

Kosmologie - Evolution - Geschichte 2

Heute wird die europäisch-westliche Philosophie endlich auf die Pluralität der Kulturen und auf deren Philosophien aufmerksam. Reflexartig werden diese Philosophien jedoch als bloße Varianten europäisch-westlichen Denkens aufgefasst. Das aber greift zu kurz. Die eigentliche Herausforderung liegt darin, die anderen Erfahrungen, die den außer-europäischen Philosophien zugrunde liegen, ernst zu nehmen und von neuem zu erkennen, dass auch die europäisch-westliche Philosophie ursprünglich auf einer Erfahrung aufruht. In der Begegnung mit anderen Philosophien liegt heute die Chance, diese Erfahrung zu erneuern. Interkulturelle Philosophie ist deshalb mehr als nur eine neue Disziplin der Philosophie. Es geht ihr um eine Selbstbestimmung der Philosophie angesichts der interkulturellen Situation, in der wir heute leben. Der vorliegende Band bietet eine umfassende Einführung in die interkulturelle Philosophie, stellt ihre zentralen Ansätze und Aspekte vor und ordnet diese in den Gang des Denkens durch die Jahrhunderte ein.

Interkulturelle Philosophie

Sami Pihlström

Friedrich Stadler

This book explores the complexity of two philosophical traditions, extending from their origins to the current developments in neopragmatism. Chapters deal with the first encounters of these traditions and beyond, looking at metaphysics and the Vienna circle as well as semantics and the principle of tolerance. There is a general consensus that North-American (neo-)pragmatism and European Logical Empiricism were converging philosophical traditions, especially after the forced migration of the European Philosophers. But readers will discover a pluralist image of this relation and interaction with an obvious family resemblance. This work clarifies and specifies the common features and differences of these currents since the beginning of their mutual scientific communication in the 19th century. The book draws on collaboration between authors and philosophers from Vienna, Tübingen, and Helsinki, and their networks. It will appeal to philosophers, scholars in the history of philosophy, philosophers of science, pragmatists and beyond.
