Jürgen Habermas

Jürgen Habermas
Biography[edit] Habermas was born in Düsseldorf, Rhine Province, in 1929. He was born with a cleft palate and had corrective surgery twice during childhood.[4] Habermas argues that his speech disability made him think differently about the importance of communication and prefer writing over the spoken word as a medium.[5] From 1956 on, he studied philosophy and sociology under the critical theorists Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno at the Goethe University Frankfurt's Institute for Social Research, but because of a rift between the two over his dissertation—Horkheimer had made unacceptable demands for revision—as well as his own belief that the Frankfurt School had become paralyzed with political skepticism and disdain for modern culture[6]—he finished his habilitation in political science at the University of Marburg under the Marxist Wolfgang Abendroth. Habermas then returned to his chair at Frankfurt and the directorship of the Institute for Social Research. Teacher and mentor[edit]

Max Horkheimer First published Wed Jun 24, 2009; substantive revision Sun Jul 21, 2013 Max Horkheimer (1895–1973) was a leader of the “Frankfurt School,” a group of philosophers and social scientists associated with the Institut für Sozialforschung (Institute of Social Research) in Frankfurt am Main. Horkheimer was the director of the Institute and Professor of Social Philosophy at the University of Frankfurt from 1930–1933, and again from 1949–1958. 1. Max Horkheimer was born into a conservative Jewish family on February 14, 1895, the only son of Moritz and Babette Horkheimer.

The most important moments of Horkheimer's early academic career would come in 1930. This program was obstructed from the very beginning by social-political unrest. With the end of WWII, Horkheimer gradually considered moving back to Germany. 2. 2.1.

We All Love Typography | Inspiredology Typography is an art and skill which is enjoying a renaissance in interest within the design community. Along with use of space and use of colour, typography is one of the most important facets of good design, and the expert use of tools to manipulate typographical elements cannot be emphasized enough. In this in-depth post, we will be going through some of the tools, at both beginner and advanced levels, available to use when working with type within that unappreciated program, Adobe InDesign. The Character Palette At first glance, the Character palette is pretty straightforward. The hidden side of the Character palette can be discovered through the drop-down context menu. The Paragraph Palette The Paragraph palette, meanwhile, allows for over-arching control suited to creating the shape of the paragraph itself. Where the fun begins, much like with the Character Palette, is with the drop-down context menu. The Glyph Palette Hyphenation Justification That’s a Wrap

Wittgenstein Desde luego que cuando la metafísica o la ética adoptaban la forma de la ciencia natural su actitud era intolerante y destructiva. Para Wittgenstein la metafísica y la ética pertenecen al reino de lo trascendental, de lo que no puede decirse, sino sólo mostrarse[4] . Esto que sólo puede mostrarse, nunca decirse, es “lo místico”. En relación con esto en el Tractatus leemos: “De lo que no se puede hablar, se tiene que callar”. Lo que importa destacar aquí, es que, en opinión de Wittgenstein, “Hay… lo inexpresable, lo que se muestra a sí mismo” [5], es decir, existe lo místico, y que esto místico se muestra de algún modo, aunque no en el lenguaje usual. A los miembros más radicales del Círculo de Viena, Carnal y Otto Neurath, quienes al no prestar suficiente atención a las últimas proposiciones del Tractatus tenían a esta obra como una especie de Biblia del Positivismo Lógico, les desagradaba especialmente la tendencia mística del Tractatus, capital en él.

Niklas Luhmann Skizziertes Porträt von Niklas Luhmann Leben[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten] Luhmann wurde 1927 in die Familie eines Brauereibesitzers in Lüneburg geboren und besuchte das altsprachliche Johanneum. 1944 wurde er im Alter von 16 Jahren offiziell als Luftwaffenhelfer eingezogen, nachdem er schon seit dem 15. 2007 wurde bekannt, dass Luhmann 1944 Mitglied der NSDAP geworden war.[3] Die Aussagekraft der Mitgliederdatei ist geschichtswissenschaftlich insofern umstritten, als eine Aufnahme in die Partei auch im Rahmen der 1944/45 von der Parteiführung angestoßenen Sammelanmeldung der HJ-Jahrgänge 1926/27 erfolgen konnte. Luhmann studierte von 1946 bis 1949 Rechtswissenschaft an der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg mit einem Schwerpunkt auf römischem Recht. Luhmann heiratete 1960 die gelernte Goldschmiedin Ursula von Walter. Nachlass[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten] Anlässlich des 90.

Frankfurt School The Frankfurt School (German: Frankfurter Schule) is a school of neo-Marxist interdisciplinary social theory,[1] associated in part with the Institute for Social Research at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany. The school initially consisted of dissident Marxists who believed that some of Marx's followers had come to parrot a narrow selection of Marx's ideas, usually in defense of orthodox Communist parties. Meanwhile, many of these theorists believed that traditional Marxist theory could not adequately explain the turbulent and unexpected development of capitalist societies in the twentieth century. History[edit] The Institute for Social Research[edit] The term "Frankfurt School" arose informally to describe the thinkers affiliated or merely associated with the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research; it is not the title of any specific position or institution per se, and few of these theorists used the term themselves. The German prewar context[edit] Theorists[edit]

The Amateur Gourmet - The Best Broccoli of Your Life You know you’ve done something right with broccoli when the person you made it for describes it to someone else the next day as “better than biting into a steak.” Those were Craig’s words and they were a marked change from the first words he uttered about the broccoli, before he bit in: “You made broccoli for dinner? Broccoli and sweet potatoes?” Then he did bite in and his eyes lit up. “Oh my God,” he said. So what did I do to the broccoli to make it taste so good? I can’t take any credit. I’m going to have a hard time this week not posting all of the recipes from her new book, Back To Basics. Specifically, she loves roasting vegetables at a high temperature until they caramelize. Normally, broccoli gets squishy when you cook it. Seriously, this recipe is so easy I can recite it without looking at the book. You preheat the oven to 425. Take 4 to 5 pounds of broccoli (I just got two large bunches), cut into florets (but relatively big ones.) Now, it’s easy. Related Posts: Roasted Fennel Save

Karl Marx German-born philosopher (1818–1883) Karl Marx (German: [maʁks]; 5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a German-born philosopher, economist, political theorist, historian, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. His best-known works are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto (with Friedrich Engels) and the three-volume Das Kapital (1867–1894); the latter employs his theory of historical materialism in an analysis of capitalism, representing his greatest intellectual achievement. Marx's ideas, theories, and their subsequent development, collectively known as Marxism, have exerted enormous influence on modern intellectual, economic, and political history. Born in Trier in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Confederation, Marx studied at the universities of Bonn, Berlin, and Jena, and received a doctorate in philosophy from the latter in 1841.

Critical theory Critical theory is a school of thought that stresses the reflective assessment and critique of society and culture by applying knowledge from the social sciences and the humanities. As a term, critical theory has two meanings with different origins and histories: the first originated in sociology and the second originated in literary criticism, whereby it is used and applied as an umbrella term that can describe a theory founded upon critique; thus, the theorist Max Horkheimer described a theory as critical insofar as it seeks "to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them."[1] In philosophy, the term critical theory describes the neo-Marxist philosophy of the Frankfurt School, which was developed in Germany in the 1930s. Definitions In social theory Yet, contrary to Marx’s famous prediction in the Preface to a Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, this shift did not lead to "an era of social revolution," but rather to fascism and totalitarianism.
