Path dependence. Path dependence explains how the set of decisions one faces for any given circumstance is limited by the decisions one has made in the past or by the events that one has experienced, even though past circumstances may no longer be relevant.[1] In economics and the social sciences, path dependence can refer either to outcomes at a single moment in time, or to long-run equilibria of a process.

Path dependence

In common usage, the phrase implies either: (A) that "history matters" — a broad concept,[2] or(B) that predictable amplifications of small differences are a disproportionate cause of later circumstances, and, in the "strong" form, that this historical hang-over is inefficient.[3] In the first usage, (A), "history matters" is trivially true in many contexts; everything has causes, and sometimes different causes lead to different outcomes. It is the narrow concept (B), that has the most explanatory force, and which is covered in this article. Illustration[edit] The videotape format war is an example. Winnicott und Arendt. Dialog - soft power tool? Dialog zum Angstabbau. David Bohm. David Joseph Bohm FRS[1] (; 20 December 1917 – 27 October 1992) was an American scientist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century[2] and who contributed unorthodox ideas to quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind.

David Bohm

Bohm warned of the dangers of rampant reason and technology, advocating instead the need for genuine supportive dialogue, which he claimed could broaden and unify conflicting and troublesome divisions in the social world. In this, his epistemology mirrored his ontology.[5] Due to his Communist affiliations, Bohm was the subject of a federal government investigation in 1949, prompting him to leave the United States. He pursued his scientific career in several countries, becoming first a Brazilian and then a British citizen. Global consulting for visionary leaders and organizations.

Dialektik vs Dialog. Nicht die Art von Dialog, um die es uns geht - Prison Dialogue. Huntington Clash. Dialogic. The English terms dialogic and dialogism often refer to the concept used by the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin in his work of literary theory, The Dialogic Imagination.

Dialogic

Bakhtin contrasts the dialogic and the "monologic" work of literature. The dialogic work carries on a continual dialogue with other works of literature and other authors. It does not merely answer, correct, silence, or extend a previous work, but informs and is continually informed by the previous work. Dialogic literature is in communication with multiple works. This is not merely a matter of influence, for the dialogue extends in both directions, and the previous work of literature is as altered by the dialogue as the present one is. The term 'dialogic' does not only apply to literature. Bakhtin also emphasized certain uses of language that maximized the dialogic nature of words, and other uses that attempted to limit or restrict their polyvocality.

We speak of a "dialogue among civilizations" in opposition to a "clash of civilizations", and of a "dialogue among religions" as an antidote to the "clash of fundamentalisms". Why has dialogue emerged as such a crucial term today? Because it denotes the opposite of unilateralism and monologue. Because it carries the connotation of collaboration and mutual respect - and thus offers a guidepost to inter-personal and inter-societal concord and peace. The term is also very important philosophically. Dialog ist die Anerkennung, dass der Weg des anderen ebensogut bestritten werden kann, wie der eigene.

Life[edit] He later studied classics and philosophy in the University of Breslau under Richard Hönigswald, but soon moved back to the University of Marburg to study with the Neo-Kantian philosophers Paul Natorp (his doctoral thesis advisor) and Nicolai Hartmann. He defended his dissertation The Essence of Pleasure in Plato's Dialogues (Das Wesen der Lust nach den Platonischen Dialogen) in 1922. Shortly thereafter, Gadamer moved to Freiburg University and began studying with Martin Heidegger, who was then a promising young scholar who had not yet received a professorship.
