Fundamentalistische Weltanschauungen aus der Sicht Karl R. Poppers Kritischem Rationalismus, von Kurt Salamun
Dieser Artikel [pdf, 468kB] ist in vier Abschnitte gegliedert. Im 1. Abschnitt werden einige begriffsanalytische Überlegungen zum Begriff der "Weltanschauung" angestellt. Im 2. Abschnitt werden Informationen über die Entstehung des Begriffs des "Fundamentalismus" und über verschiedene Bedeutungsakzente dieses Wortes gegeben. Im 3. Abschnitt werden vier Hauptmerkmale herausgestellt, die als konstitutiv für fundamentalistische Weltanschauungen erscheinen, und in einem 4. und letzten Abschnitt werden anti-fundamentalistische Grundzüge von Poppers Philosophie hervorgehoben und deren Stellenwert für die Kritik an fundamentalistischen Weltanschauungen verdeutlicht.

Hervorhebungen in diesem Artikel sind von mir gemacht worden. Das Original ist auf der Site Texte Zur Wirtschaft erschienen: www.tzw.biz

The End Of Time, A Talk with Julian Barbour
The basic idea of my theory is that there isn't time as such. There is no invisible river of time that's flowing. But there are things that I would say that you could call an instant of time; or better, a now. As we live we seem to move through a succession of instants of time, nows, and the question is, what are they? They are where everything in the universe is at this moment, now.

Social Epistemology
Social epistemology is the study of the social dimensions of knowledge or information. There is little consensus, however, on what the term "knowledge" comprehends, what is the scope of the "social", or what the style or purpose of the study should be. According to some writers, social epistemology should retain the same general mission as classical epistemology, revamped in the recognition that classical epistemology was too individualistic. According to other writers, social epistemology should be a more radical departure from classical epistemology, a successor discipline that would replace epistemology as traditionally conceived. The classical approach could be realized in at least two forms. One would emphasize the traditional epistemic goal of acquiring true beliefs. It would study social practices in terms of their impact on the truth-values of agents' beliefs. A second version of the classical approach would focus on the epistemic goal of having justified or rational beliefs. Applied to the social realm, it might concentrate, for example, on when a cognitive agent is justified or warranted in accepting the statements and opinions of others. Proponents of the anti-classical approach have little or no use for concepts like truth and justification. In addressing the social dimensions of knowledge, they understand "knowledge" as simply what is believed, or what beliefs are "institutionalized" in this or that community, culture, or context. They seek to identify the social forces and influences responsible for knowledge production so conceived. Social epistemology is theoretically significant because of the central role of society in the knowledge-forming process. It also has practical importance because of its possible role in the redesign of information-related social institutions.

Wie wir uns die Wirklichkeit zurechtbiegen
Die Wahrheit: Wir lügen alle von Peter Stiegnitz
Lügen? Ich doch nicht! So oder ähnlich reagieren die meisten von uns, wenn wir mit unserer Auslegung der Wirklichkeit konfrontiert werden. Doch wir können die Lüge nicht aus unserem Leben eliminieren. Peter Stiegnitz zeigt: Je mehr wir die Lüge ablehnen, desto mehr lügen wir.

Q.B.L. or THE BRIDE'S RECEPTION
Philosophically speaking, a great deal of rubbish has accumulated around the roots of The Tree of Life, and this has certainly deterred some truly hungry and thirsty souls from participation in the fruitful feast that awaits all who have the courage, patience, and it may be, daring to claim their Divine Inheritance.
