Excerpt from Doxographi Graeci: Collegit Recensuit Prolegomenis Indicibusque Instruxit Ceterum in superioribus suis verbis dicebat: 'cuius para sub corruptione iacet, necesse id est totum quoque obnoxium esse corruptioni.' nec enim sine toto partes constare poseunt neque totum sine partibus. Nam mundus univeraua unum corpus est e multis partibus a deo compositum. Nec tamen ut alii qui dam sapientum animal esse mundus censeudus est sed arti ficinsa harmonia concretionem nactus.

Nam singularis graecae artis cognitio, quae in illo fuit, in nullo genere (...) litterarum magis enituit quam in Comicis, unde splendidum ante biennium factum est huius Corporis initium. Iam adu lescentem prima tirocinia in Aristophane ponere memini eundemque audio supremam fuisse moribundi curam ac querelem.

Dorienses enim, quos edidit, propter illos cpinor tetigerat.' quodsi verum est cum primi illins voluminis perfectione vix unam alteramve aequalium editionem recte posse eom parari, quid prasstaturum eum fuisse credimus, si fatum concessisset, ut ipsam 'atticam comoediam nobis ex fragmentis instauraret, in qua totus habitabat et spirabat!

Assuming that there is moral progress, and assuming that the abolition of slavery is an example of it, how does moral progress occur? Is it mainly driven by specific individuals who have gained new moral insights, or by changes in the socio‐economic and epistemic conditions in which agents morally judge the norms and practices of their society, and act upon these judgements? In this paper, I argue that moral progress is a complex process in which changes at the level of (...) belief and changes at the level of institutions and social practices are deeply intertwined, and that changes in the socio‐economic and epistemic conditions of moral agency constitute the main motor of moral progress. I develop my view of moral progress by way of grappling with Michelle Moody‐Adams’ prominent philosophical account of it. My view is less intellectualistic and individualistic than hers, does not presuppose meta‐ethical moral realism, and blurs her distinction between moral progress in beliefs and moral progress in social practices. I point out the limits of humans to progress morally, which are partly grounded in our evolutionary history, and argue that moral progress is always of a ‘local’ nature. (shrink)

Excerpt from Elementum: Eine Vorarbeit zum Griechischen und Lateinischen Thesaurus Aber das Wasser, das ich rasch zu durchwaten dachte, reichte mir bald an den Hals. Das Bachlein schwoll zum Strome der Strom zum Meere an und die Kuste entschwand dem weiter Schwimmenden aus den Blicken. So hatte ich mich wohl noch lange nicht wieder zuruck an das rettende Ufer gefunden, wenn nicht der Wunsch Ihnen, themer Freund zur richtigen Zeit meine Gabe darzubringen dem Ermatteten neuen Mut gegeben und zur Auf (...) bietung aller Krafte angestachelt hatte.

Artificial intelligence is shaping strategy, activities, interactions, and relationships in business and specifically in marketing. The drawback of the substantial opportunities AI systems and applications provide in marketing are ethical controversies. Building on the literature on AI ethics, the authors systematically scrutinize the ethical challenges of deploying AI in marketing from a multi-stakeholder perspective. By revealing interdependencies and tensions between ethical principles, the authors shed light on the applicability of a purely principled, deontological approach to AI ethics in marketing. To (...) reconcile some of these tensions and account for the AI-for-social-good perspective, the authors make suggestions of how AI in marketing can be leveraged to promote societal and environmental well-being.

Der erste Band der DSKE enthält Kierkegaards Journale und Aufzeichnungen der Jahre 1835-1839 und beruht auf der historisch-kritischen dänischen Neuausgabe. Die Texte der von Kierkegaard mit AA, BB, CC und DD gekennzeichneten Journale zeigen die Vielfalt der Interessen und Studien, die Kierkegaard in jenen Jahren, also zu Beginn seiner formativen Periode, verfolgt. Die von autobiographischen Notizen, literarisch-ästhetischen Studien und Entwürfen bis hin zu philosophischen und theologischen Erörterungen reichenden Aufzeichnungen erlauben einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Werkstatt Kierkegaards und damit in die (...) Textgenese selbst. Die Erschließung dieser Aufzeichnungen, die teils privater Natur sind, teils im Hinblick auf eine spätere Veröffentlichung entstanden oder bewahrt wurden, ist häufig unerlässlich für die angemessene Interpretation auch der veröffentlichten Werke. Eine Kierkegaards Intellektualität, Religiosität und poetischer Sprachkraft Genüge tuende Übersetzung der Journale und Aufzeichnungen ist nicht nur Zeichen der ungebrochenen Aktualität Kierkegaards für Theologie, Philosophie, Psychologie und Ästhetik, sondern auch die Grundlage für ein neues und tieferes Verständnis seines Gesamtwerkes, das auf einer zuverlässigen Textgrundlage basiert.

Diem takes issue with the misuse of Kierkegaard's work in present-day theological and philosophical discussion. This is a translations of Die Existenzdialektik von Soren Kierkegaard.

Evolutionary accounts of the origin of human morality may be speculative to some extent, but they contain some very plausible claims, such as the claim that ethics evolved as a response to the demands of group living. Regarding the phenomenon of moral progress, it has been argued both that it is ruled out by an evolutionary approach, and that it can be explained by it. It has even been claimed that an evolutionary account has the potential to advance progress in (...) the moral domain. This paper explores the complex relationship between evolutionary explanations of morality and the possibility of moral progress. It seeks to answer the question as to what these explanations are able to tell us about the possibility of moral progress and the ways in which such progress can be achieved. It is argued that evolutionary explanations can inform moral education and other forms of moral enhancement, and that increased evolutionary knowledge figures among the changes in the circumstances of morality that can lead to moral progress. Evolutionary explanations can show us certain limits to the possibility for humans of progressing morally as well as certain enabling conditions. It is argued that both aspects – enhancement and changes in the circumstances – are equally important for the achievement of moral progress. This is illustrated by means of two examples of areas in which moral progress seems possible: our relationship towards the distant poor and our relationship towards non-human animals. (shrink)

Der weitaus grosste Teil meiner Reden sind Gleichnisse, das heisst, ich bediene mich ausserer Bilder in meinen Erorterun­ gen. So wie der eigene Vater nicht gem selbst den Werber macht fur seinen Sohn... Blosse Worte sind nutzlos. TSCHUANG-TSE Das Ethos Nietzsches, der sich fur den ersten Immoralisten des bislang christlichen Europa hielt und erklarte, in Wahrheit aber vielleicht der grosste Moralist deutscher Zunge war, geht darauf aus, gerecht zu sein, nicht Richter zu sein. Bedachten dies die 'richtenden' Nietzsche-Interpreten bei ihrem (...) Tun? Ihre Richtspruche freilich fallen verschieden genug aus: Nietzscheherausgeber Karl Schlechta tadelt Nietzsche als einen dem sinnzerstorenden Wissenschafts­ positivismus Horigen; Martin Heideggers reichliche Nietzschepublikationen dagegen werfen Nietzsche vor, er habe sich nicht aus der Geschichte der Meta­ physik befreien konnen. Von Amerika aus feiert Walter Kaufmann Nietzsche hymnisch; Karl Lowith legt Nietzsche in einer Taschenbuchausgabe einmal wieder zur Lebensphilosophie ab; Thomas Mann und Gottfried Benn sahen Nietzsche als Astheten bzw.

//718// Das physikalische Ergebnis der Quantenmechanik, von dem die Erschütterung altgewohnter naturphilosophischer Auffassungen, insbesondere der Kausalvorstellungen ausgeht, besagt, daß der Vorausberechnung künftiger Naturvorgänge eine scharfe, unüberwindbare Schranke gezogen ist. Die Idee des LAPLACEschen Dämons, der den augenblicklichen Zustand der Natur vollständig kennt, sämtliche Naturgesetze überschaut und auf Grund dieser Kenntnis den zukünftigen Gang der Ereignisse vorhersagen kann, verliert damit jede Anwendung auf die Natur. Und doch war diese Idee nur der Ausdruck der Überzeugung, daß jedes Naturgeschehen in allen seinen Zügen (...) durch vorangehende Ereignisse verursacht worden ist und daher für einen der Naturgesetze Kundigen aus diesen Ursachen vorausberechenbar sein müsse.
