Intellectual History: 5 Questions

By AutomaticPress / VIP on May 15, 2013 in ,

Intellectual History CoverEdited by
Morten Haugaard Jeppesen,
Frederik Stjernfelt,
Mikkel Thorup

The 5 Questions-series format is to ask five questions linking personal experience with scholarly work, not because there is any deep or global truth in biography but because scientific disciplines, their research and methods, are also inherently historical and contingent. A way to approach the question of what intellectual history is and how it can (and should) be made is personal, institutional, professional and disciplinary going from the most individual to the greatest material and ideational changes in politics, society and university. By linking the questions of the personal exposure to intellectual history with reflections on both one’s own work and the state of our discipline, we hope to provoke scholarly self-reflective thought as well as provide a little bit of material to the grander tale of intellectual history.

Interviews with Carlos Altamirano, Terrence Ball, Duncan Bell, Mark Bevir, Warren Breckman, Roger Chartier, Vincenzo Ferrone, Michael Friedman, Carlo Ginzburg, Jacques Le Goff, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Knud Haakonssen, Jonathan Israel, John Christian Laursen, Sven-Eric Liedman, Darrin McMahon, Allan Megill, Jan-Werner Müller, Kari Palonen, Philip Pettit, John Pocock, Hans-Jørgen Schanz, Quentin Skinner, Patricia Springborg, Edoardo Tortarolo, Richard Whatmore

Erindringer: Herfra – og ikke længere

By AutomaticPress / VIP on April 10, 2013 in ,

 

Cover

Af Annette Møller
Bussen var næsten fuld, men ikke helt fuld, alligevel sagde min mor, at jeg skulle sætte mig på skødet af en mørkhåret, fremmed mand med en stor næse, som sad ved et vindue. Jeg husker ikke, om mor satte sig ved siden af eller, om hun og min søster sad et andet sted i bussen. Mit synsfelt be- grænsede sig til skyggen af mandens profil og det vindue, som blikket kunne flygte ud af. Jeg hørte min mor sige, at jeg skulle kalde manden for ”far”. Det var den længste bustur i mit liv og sikkert også i mandens liv, vi var lige gen- erte og skrækslagne, vi turde overhovedet ikke røre os, men sad musestille, mens mine svedige lår – så jeg senere, da vi stod ud i grønholt – satte mørke pletter på hans lyse bukser.

Kampagner: Klummer og kampråb

By AutomaticPress / VIP on February 7, 2013 in ,

kampagnerVincent F. Hendricks

Et demokrati er ikke karakteriseret derved, at borgere hver især har en stemme, men, at hver har en oplyst stemme, jfr. oplysningstanken. Og det er noget ganske andet. Et oplyst og robust demokrati kræver information. Nu begynder logikken at kunne bide på problemet, for demokratistudier kan så pludselig forstås i lyset af informationsprocessering. Det giver arbejde til den formelle filosofi. Derfor har store dele af klummerne, kronikerne og andre kommuniké et indhold, der viser hvordan man kan oplyse med information, men ligeledes hvordan man desværre kan manipulere med mennesker, meninger og markeder i informationssamfundet. Kampagner er, for størstedelens vedkommende, en informations-kampagne.

Socio-Epistemic Phenomena: 5 Questions

By AutomaticPress / VIP on January 7, 2013 in ,

Edited by
Vincent F. Hendricks
Rasmus K. Rendsvig

This is a collection of writings on socio-epistemic phenomena, e.g. pluralistic ignorance, informational cascades, herd behavior, bystander, framing, bandwagon effects, polarization, echo-chambers, etc. These phenomena in the broad sense play most important scientific roles while explaining a significant spread of human behavior and interaction. It is an interdisciplinary field of inquiry uniting themes from social psychology, behavioral science, philosophy, social science, political science, jurisprudence, management science, business, cognitive science, economics and theoretical computer science.

The volume comprises a collection of short interviews with some of the most influential and prominent scholars studying these conundra. We hear their views on these phenomena, their nature, structure, impact (in finance, politics, religion, for social networking etc.), possible resolution guidelines, the future challenges and how their work fits in these regards.

Interviews with among others
Cristina Bicchieri, Damon Centola, Mirta Galesic, Stephan Hartmann, David Hirshleifer, James A. Kitts, Timur Kuran, Michael Macy, Erik Olsson, Steven Pinker, Deborah A. Prentice, Cass Sunstein, Ivo Welch
