"Ich habe dem ausserordentlichen Manne, dessen Andenken diese Schrift gilt, nach seinem letzten Willen einen Grabstein gesetzt, auf dem Nichts zu lesen ist als sein Name. Das Ubrige sollte die Nachwelt schon wissen. Auch vertreten seine Werke den Biographen besser als die anderer beruhmten Gelehrten. Nur als Schriftsteller betrat er die offentliche Laufbahn; angstlich vermied er, seitdem sein Geist zum vollen Bewusstsein erwacht war, jede Beruhrung mit dem Tun der Menschen, und sein eignes sollte nicht in Betracht kommen gegen den (...) bleibenden Gehalt seines Daseins; sein Denken; aber uber alle Gebiete des Lebens erstreckt sich dieses und verrat vielfach den personlichen Anteil des Autors. Deshalb wollte er nicht, dass die ausseren Zuge seines Lebens zu seinem Gedachtnisse ins Einzelne hinein verfolgt wurden, und doch bedarf die kurze Grabschrift in den Augen seiner Zeit eines Kommentars, den er selbst uber sich nicht schreiben konnte." [...] Das vorliegende Werk von Wilhelm Gwinner ist ein Blick auf das Leben Schopenhauers, seinen Charakter und seine Lehre aus dem personlichem Umgang dargestellt. Der Verlag der Wissenschaften verlegt historische Literatur bekannter und unbekannter wissenschaftlicher Autoren. Dem interessierten Leser werden so teilweise langst nicht mehr verlegte Werke wieder zugangig gemacht. Das vorliegende Buch ist ein unveranderter Nachdruck der historischen Originalausgabe aus dem Jahr 1862.". (shrink)

Standard models of adolescent risk taking posit that the cognitive abilities of adolescents and adults are equivalent, and that increases in risk taking that occur during adolescence are the result of socio emotional differences in impulsivity, sensation seeking, and lack of self-control. Fuzzy-trace theory incorporates these socio emotional differences. However, it predicts that there are also cognitive differences between adolescents and adults, specifically that there are developmental increases in gist-based intuition that reflects understanding. Gist understanding, as opposed to verbatim-based analysis, (...) generally has been hypothesized to have a protective effect on risk taking in adolescence. Gist understanding is also an essential element of informed consent regarding risks in medical decision- making. Evidence thus supports the argument that adolescents’ status as mature minors should be treated as an exception rather than a presumption, because accuracy in verbatim analysis is not mature gist understanding. Use of the exception should be accompanied by medical experts’ input on the bottom-line gist of risks involved in treatment. (shrink)

This is the fifth volume in a six-volume translation of the major writings of Wilhelm Dilthey (1833-1911), a philosopher and historian of culture who has had a significant, and continuing, influence on twentieth-century Continental philosophy and in a broad range of scholarly disciplines. In addition to his landmark works on the theories of history and the human sciences, Dilthey made important contributions to hermeneutics and phenomenology, aesthetics, psychology, and the methodology of the social sciences. This volume presents Dilthey's principal (...) writings on aesthetics and the philosophical understanding of poetry, as well as representative essays of literary criticism. The essay "The Imagination of the Poet" (also known as his Poetics) is his most sustained attempt to examine the philosophical bearings of literature in relation to psychological and historical theory. Also included are "The Three Epochs of Modern Aesthetics and its Present Task," "Fragments for a Poetics," and two final essays discussing Goethe and Hölderlin. The latter are drawn from Das Erlebnis und die Dichtung, a volume that was acclaimed on publication as a classic of literary criticism and that continues to be a model for the geistesgeschichtliche approach to literary history.

Within the framework of some of Dilthey's themes such as historicity, finitude and the ineffability of all human productions, the A. approaches the problem of Subjectivity in relation to the Human Sciences (Geisteswissenschaften) which, conceived as forms of self-reflection of historical life itself, put in evidence a Subject compelled to redefine its cognitive possibilities. This task leads Dilthey to a hermeneutical proposal, the main value of which lies in not having eluded facticity and temporality proper to life, and in having (...) proposed them as domains where all intellectual activity finds its limits and the openness to new possibilities of sense.
