Das Licht als Metapher der Erkenntnis gehört zur abendländischen Tradition der Bildsprache allgemein, insbesondere aber in der Philosophie. Die Erfahrung…
eines neuen Gedankens, einer neuen Idee oder einer neuen Erkenntnis haben wir, vielleicht mangels eigener sprachlicher Begrifflichkeit, für genau diesen geistigen Vorgang in eine Metapher übertragen, indem wir mit der Vorstellung arbeiten, die sinnliche Wahrnehmung der physischen Erscheinung des Lichts sei vergleichbar mit der geistigen Wahrnehmung eines neuen Gedankens. Durch das Licht sehen wir die Welt und die Dinge in ihr, durch den Geist erkennen wir Weltzusammenhänge, Arten des Seins, Wahrheiten, Kategorien, Strukturen, Hierarchien, was auch immer. Das Hauptanliegen dieses Buches ist es, die Lichtmetapher in ihrer philosophisch-historischen Bedeutung – exemplarisch - aufzuarbeiten, indem es die Philosophiegeschichte nach der Verwendung der Lichtmetapher durchforstet. Wer (1) hat wozu (2) mit welcher philosophischen Aussage (3) die Lichtmetapher benutzt? Das Buch regt so zum Nachdenken über diese Aussagen an und den Diskurs über die Lichtmetapher und die Intelligibilität des Denkens.Par Michael E. Auer, Dominik May. 2025

This objective of this atlas is to serve as an updated diagnostic resource that allows pathologists to diagnose interstitial lung…
disease (ILD) when they encounter it in biopsies. Pathologists often struggle in this area due to the numerous different and sometimes overlapping entities encompassed by term &“ILD&”. ILD pathology is unique in that diagnostic accuracy always requires correlation with the clinical and particularly the radiologic findings. This is different from most areas of pathology in which only minimal clinical/radiologic information will allow an accurate diagnosis. By including CT findings, pathologists will know what to look for in radiology reports or when talking with radiologists. A further recent development has been the increasingly widespread use of transbronchial cryobiopsy for diagnosing interstitial lung disease. What is becoming evident, however, is that there is astonishingly little in the way of pathologic guidance for making diagnoses with cryobiopsies, and pathologists struggle with them. Advances in understanding the genetics of ILD have led to realization that there are major overlaps in the genetic abnormalities associated with a UIP pattern, even if the underlying disease is fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis or connective tissue disease. A new idea is that of telomeropathy; i.e. the finding that patients with short telomeres are particularly likely to develop fibrotic lung disease, and, most importantly, should not be treated with immunosuppressive agents. Atlas of Interstitial Lung Disease: Pathology with High Resolution CT Correlations 3rd Edition is primarily directed toward non-expert pathologists who encounter interstitial lung disease specimens, as well as radiologists who want some understanding of the pathologic basis for the imaging findings. The book incorporates current clinical/radiological/pathologic guidelines and provides information on how to apply them to biopsy specimens.Par Swati Gupta, Mohit Kukreti, Ercan Ozen, Sanjay Taneja. 2025

its activation of Article 39. Arguing that climate change should be considered a threat to international peace and security, the theory of securitisation is employed to dissect the UNSC and identify the power dynamics that dictate when and why Article 39 is activated. Exploring how contemporary threats to peace and security can unite the agenda of the UNSC and shedding light on the narratives used to reach consensus, the author considers how this knowledge might be purposed to support the transition of climate change into the realm of Article 39. How necessary and useful a UNSC resolution would be is given thought, and a possible pathway to achieving it is outlined.Aimed at academics and institutions that commentate on the UNSC, climate change, securitisation theory and undergraduate and postgraduate students of law, international relations, UN law, and those undertaking environmental studies, this book will also be of interest to practitioners and diplomats in and outside of the UN and anyone seeking to further the climate security nexus.Par Kazım Duraklar. 2025

First published in 1992, Recent Controversies in Political Economy presents a collection of articles on political economy and economic policy…
taken from Economic Affairs, the Institute’s magazine. Put together they constitute a sustained commentary on what is widely known as the ‘Thatcher era’. For more than a decade, successive Conservative governments introduced reforms which have been widely held to be a revolution in economic policy. Generally, these have tended to give a greater role to markets. The Institute of Economic Affairs takes markets as its central concern- where they work, where they fail and how they are impeded. It thus has a unique interest in this policy revolution.In areas as diverse as taxation, education, housing and the environment, the volume offers a series of challenging alternatives. In some cases, ideas proposed have subsequently been taken up, but there are other examples where the proposals run contrary to those of any of the major parties or read as an implicit criticism of policies which were actually adopted. This book is an important historical reference work for students and scholars of political economy, economic policy and economics in general.Par Joseph Dorinson, Joram Warmund. 1998

US–Chinese strategic competition is a defining factor in world politics. The prevailing narrative on US–China relations predicts inevitable conflicts between…
these two giants, potentially leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy. While fully acknowledging the inherent dangers of potential wars or military conflicts between the two powers, this book shows that competition is not necessarily detrimental. By systematically examining US–China institutional balancing across security, economic and political domains, particularly in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, this book highlights three positive externalities or unintended consequences: the revitalisation of regional institutions to address emerging challenges, unexpected collaborations between great powers (the US and China) and regional actors, and the provision of public goods by both nations. The book argues that constructive and institutionalised competition between the US and China, if managed with strategic foresight and restraint, could inadvertently lead to positive outcomes – institutional peace – in the Asia-Pacific region.Par James Moran. 2025
