The article presents an outline of steps to be taken to achieve a unified social policy governing East Germany (DDR) and the Federal Republic (BRD). The steps include social security financial transfers, the economic growth of the DDR, stabilizing of the labor market and unemployment, braking the migration of DDR citizens to the BRD, and the promotion of employment and a common social security program.

The article presents several recommendations for alleviating unemployment in Germany in a petition from a group sponsored by Ulrich Wilckens, Bishop for Holstein-Lübeck. Among the suggestions are a tax break for new businesses, middle and lower class tax reductions, reinvestment of business profits, preferential hiring of young workers, minimization of the costs of doing business, and flextime in employment.

Die externe Begutachtung ist ein wesentliches Element des Berufungsverfahrens, das bei der Beurteilung der Legitimität der von der Berufungskommission erstellten Listenreihung der Bewerber:innen von kommissionsexternen Akteur:innen herangezogen wird. Mittels eines explorativen Forschungsprozesses wird die Frage beantwortet, wie die Kommission diese Legitimation herzustellen versucht. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Kommission unterschiedlichen Maßstäben der Legitimität unterliegt. Die Einhaltung des rechtlichen Rahmens dient der formalen Legitimation der Entscheidung; die inhaltliche Legitimation wird über die Einholung und Berücksichtigung der Fachexpertise hergestellt. Ferner wird gezeigt, wie diese Anforderungen über Praktiken der Kommission im Umgang mit dem Bewertungsprozess erfüllt werden. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden unter Einbeziehung bewertungssoziologischer Überlegungen diskutiert. External reviews are an essential element of the professorial appointment procedure, which is intended to support the decision-making process of the appointment committee. However, external reviews are also used by university bodies external to the committee to assess the legitimacy of the appointment committee's shortlist of candidates. Based on an exploratory research process, this paper examines how the appointment committee attempts to establish this legitimacy. It is shown that the committee is subject to different measures of legitimacy. On the one hand, the appointment committee must comply with the legal framework in order to formally legitimize the decision. On the other hand, the decision must be substantively legitimized by obtaining and considering the external reviews. The paper then reveals how these requirements are met through practices of the appointment committee in handling the valuation process. The findings are discussed in the light of sociology of valuation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Die Soziologie der Bewertung fokussiert bislang vor allem die Perspektive der Bewertenden und konzipiert Bewertung als etwas, das Bewertende tun. Dieser Einseitigkeit stellt der Aufsatz die Ambivalenz und Perspektivität seines Forschungsgegenstands gegenüber. Er untersucht die Pflegebegutachtung durch den Medizinischen Dienst der Krankenkassen (MDK). Das Verfahren knüpft ein begehrtes Gut (Versicherungsleistungen) an die situative Zurschaustellung einer sozial unerwünschten Eigenschaft (Unselbständigkeit). Es trägt daher Züge einer ‚invertierten Prüfung': je schlechter die Bewertung, desto besser. Die Ambivalenz des Phänomens ergibt sich aus einer Differenz von Perspektiven: Was für die Begutachtete wertvoll ist, mag für eine Angehörige unpraktisch und für die Gutachterin wahr sein. Diese Komplexität fächert der Aufsatz anhand einer ethnografischen Einzelfallstudie auf und entwickelt daraus Vorschläge zur Konzeption von Bewertung. Valuation studies often conceptualize evaluation as conducted solely by the evaluating party and focus narrowly on their point of view. The paper confronts this one-sided approach by investigating evaluation from multiple angles, taking into account the ambivalence and complexity of evaluation processes. Specifically, the paper examines the care needs assessment commissioned by long-term care insurances in Germany. This assessment process links a desirable asset (insurance benefits) to the applicant's display of a socially undesirable attribute (dependence). In a sense, it is an 'inverted exam': the worse the applicant scores, the better the result. This ambivalence arises from differing perspectives: What is valuable to the assessed person may be impractical to her relatives and true to the assessor. Drawing on an ethnographic single case study, the paper unfolds this multiplicity of perspectives and values and develops suggestions for reconceptualizing evaluation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This papers contributes to the growing body of literature on the use of conceptual metaphors to frame the COVID-19 pandemic and the corona. Whereas previous linguistic analyses have focused on the use of metaphors by politicians and in the media, this paper is concerned with German children's books and the use of conceptual metaphors therein that involve the target domains coronavirus,virus transmission, and virus proliferation as well as counter measurements and reactions of the immune system. The analysis reveals that war-metaphors, which are salient in political and media discourse, are much less dominant in children's books. The books systematically draw on source domains that are well entrenched in children's everyday experience, such as police, quarrelling, partying, playing in the sandbox, jumping, surfing, and travelling. Furthermore, ontological metaphors and more specifically personifications are widespread, with the virus being construed as a curious adventurer without genuinely bad intentions, a villain or monster and even a savior. The paper is grounded in Cognitive Semantics and more specifically in Conceptual Metaphor Theory and provides multimodal analyses that pay attention to both verbally and visually expressed information and metaphorical mappings.

This paper investigates personal name compounds (PN compounds) with a personal name in the second position and a lexeme or a proper name as a modifier (cf. Veggie-Renate). Based on 1194 types from the web corpus of the Digitales Wörterbuch der Deutschen Sprache (DWDS) and Twitter, the paper aims at testing the following hypotheses from the previous studies (Wildgen 1981, Kürschner 2020): PN compounds are infrequent, irregular and bear mainly an evaluative function. By drawing on the semantic relations holding between the components of nominal compounds in German (cf. Ortner et al. 1991), we provide evidence for 15 regular semantic patterns underlying PN compounds. However, these patterns cannot fully account for the properties of PN compounds as the patterns are too abstract and neglect the contextual factors and extra-linguistic knowledge about the name bearer. Therefore, to arrive at the properties of PN compounds, semantic patterns must be pragmatically enriched in the context by taking into account the linguistic knowledge about the modifier, the linguistic context and knowledge about the name bearer that is not included in the semantic pattern. Furthermore, apart from their evaluative function, PN compounds also evoke knowledge about the name bearer's appearance, function, occupation, origin or participation in a social event. Finally, the analysis indicates a large frequency of PN compounds in DWDS and Twitter compared to the German Reference Corpus (DeReKo). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article illustrates and justifies the role of syllable weight for the MHG verse. It counters a 2021 paper by A. Estis, who fundamentally questions the relevance of syllable weight for MHG metrics. The argumentation of the riposte relies on text-analytical findings, methodological aspects (heuristics), the history of the German verse in late medieval and early modern times, last but not least on historical testimonies, namely by Heinrich von Hesler and Nikolaus von Jeroschin. The article concludes with a reformulation of basic analytical principles of MHG metrics, thus trying to forestall some misunderstandings possibly provoked by the traditional terminology of A. Heusler. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, I shall draw attention to an as yet unpublished excerpt of a part of Kant's Religionsschrift (Religion within the Limits of Reason Alone) written by an unknown author that has been found in Schiller's literary remains, labelled by the Goethe-Schiller-Archiv as 'general working material'. A note on the excerpt itself marks it as pertaining to the first edition of Kant's text. A few questions arise from that find: First, which parts of Kant's text does the excerpt represent? Secondly, does it really refer to the first edition of the Religionsschrift? Thirdly and fourthly, who authored it and how did it get into Schiller's hands? I shall answer the first two questions by providing a tentative transcription based on which I am going to argue that the excerpt treats the first pages of the first part of Kant's Religionsschrift and does not refer to the first, but indeed the second edition from 1794. As far as the last two questions are concerned, no definitive answer can be given. Instead I detail Schiller's endeavours and personal contacts around the time of the publication of the Religionsschrift's second edition, which might provide some clues as to the possible author for future investigations. Furthermore I outline the impact Kant's discourse had on Schiller's own philosophical works, i.e. his essay On Grace and Dignity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drawing on Hegel's anthropology, this paper reconstructs 'madness' as an essential stage in the formation of the subject by developing the dialectical character of madness. This goes along with resituating the negativity of spirit as arising on an intermediary stage between nature and developed spirit as second nature. Hegel determines the freedom of spirit as "absolute negativity". Madness shows a moment of radical negativity that is not viable as such. The formation of subjectivity is thus threatened by that which makes it possible. The art of spirit is to over-come this form of abstract negativity, though not to lose the radicality of negativity, but to deepen it. 'Absolute negativity' is Hegel's term for this successful sublation and simultaneous deepening of negativity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transformative theories of human nature posit that the genus of animality is wholly transformed by the specific difference of reason. The aim of this paper is to show that the two most prominent transformative approaches, 'resolute' and dialectical', face a dialectical impasse that Helmuth Plessner's philosophical anthropology is able to resolve. First, I outline objections to the resolute approach which motivate the 'dialectical' turn to second nature. Second, I show that the dialectical approach faces a dilemma. It either runs into an internal 'interaction problem' by its qualitative distinction of nature and spirit. Or it assimilates both in a way that either amounts to a collapse into the resolute approach or which creates the problem of a merely 'artificial naturalness'. Third, I reconstruct Plessner's 'form-typological' approach to how the genus living being is differentiated into structural types. This enables a dilemma-free rendition of transformation as 'natural artificiality': it is human first nature to seek embodied expression in second nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to so-called transformative theories of rationality, human nature is of a fundamentally different kind than the nature of non-human animals, because it is transformed by the possession of rational capacities. This is assumed tobe reflected in the fact that human nature and non-human nature require two fundamentally different forms of explanation: reason-based explanations on the one hand, explanations with reference to natural laws on the other. There is no continuity between these two forms of explanation, i.e. a transition from one to the other is not intelligible. In this paper, I will draw on Hegel to sketch a counter-position to this kind of "continuity skepticism" (Dorit Bar-On, 2013). The central thesis is that Hegel's project in his anthropology is to make the transition from one order of explanation to another intelligible by outlining an intermediate realm in which the phenomena under investigation are no longer entirely outside, and not yet entirely inside, the rational order of explanation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transformative theories of what distinguishes human beings from animals face the problem of conceptually managing the transition from animal to human. This paper will show that this transition contains logical problems that are more rhetorically glossed over than logically solved by the concept of second nature. In the first part, I develop two main concepts of transformative theories, namely that of Hinzutreten (additive capacities occurring in humans) and that of Verwandeltsein (humans already being of a different kind), before outlining in the second part Helmuth Plessner's anthropological approach as one that elaborates not a transformation, but a holistic difference in the structure of human life as well as a non-metaphysical process of nature's self-differentiation in human beings as opposed to animals.

In Germany, like in many other liberal countries, there is an extensive public discourse about freedom of speech being at risk. It will be insisted in this contribution that on the one hand, freedom of speech as a subjective right of basic law is not endangered. On the other hand, it should be acknowledged that in public discourse moralistic exaggerations are quite common. Against this background, the paper asks when different opinions are to be respected and at what point it is permitted or even required to condemn them as immoral. The basic argument advanced here is that opinions should be respected as long as they are based in or at least supported by reasonable moral theories. Those opinions that do not have such a support can be labelled as properly immoral and criticized as such. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay defines Theodor W. Adorno's philosophical language criticism as materialistic. It takes up Max Beck's discussion of Adorno's critique of German metaphysical jargon in his paper "Jargon, Bullshit, sinnlos". However, this essay argues for a twofold critique as being constitutive for Adorno's approach: It is directed not only at Martin Heidegger's ontological understanding of language but also at Logical Empiricism's formalistic understanding of it. Beck's claim of an affinity between the methods of Adorno and the Vienna Circle is therefore questionable. The first part illuminates the philosophical significance of Adorno's encounters with the Vienna protagonists. The second part discusses the differences between a formalistic and a materialistic approach: instead of excluding metaphysical expressions as meaningless, Adorno contextualizes them historically and socially. Thus Adorno criticizes early analytic philosophy's reductive treatment of language and its rigorist understanding of enlightenment. The third part connects the critiques of formalism and of jargon by pointing to their own socio-historical embeddedness. Finally, it argues for the contemporary relevance of such twofold critique.

The negotiations for the Digital Markets Act have just been concluded. Together with international competition economists, I have spent the last few months writing a series of policy papers on the need to regulate the platform economy and commenting on the DMA draft. My conclusion: the DMA is an important step in the right direction. It has been sharpened in the final trilogue negotiation, in which the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers negotiated the amendments proposed by the European Parliament. The implementation that now lies ahead is a major challenge that will be almost impossible to meet without a significant increase in the Commission's resources. On some points, particularly in the area of merger control and the use of structural measures, the rules in the DMA as adopted do not yet go far enough. In this respect, the Digital Markets Act can and should only be the beginning on the way to comprehensive and effective protection of competition on platform markets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A critical response to the article “Relativismus und Menschenrechte” by Marie-Luisa Frick, published in this issue of the journal, is presented. The author addresses several issues, including the philosophy of human rights from the perspectives of cultural relativism and universalism, the distinction between idea and content, and political ethics.

The article "How many points does your star have?" by Max Hoffmann describes a guide for folding and cutting a star from a square sheet of paper. By folding and cutting, a star with a specific number of points is created. The author suggests using colored paper and using the star as a decoration for the room. The question is also raised whether it is possible to create stars with more or fewer points. The author, Dr. Max Hoffmann, works at the Institute for Mathematics at the University of Paderborn.

Linguistic variation is a feature that characterizes every natural language. In this paper, I focus on linguistic variation and its importance and its role in language change (LC). To determine its importance and role, one must distinguish between emergence and diffusion of variants because both dimensions provide different contributions to LC. The emergence and further development of new variants is a process that often (though not always) displays the form of a cycle, whereas the diffusion within a speech community often follows an S-curve form. Both dimensions are important for LC, but they relate to very different aspects. In this paper, I will treat variation with respect to its role in LC. Variation, in general, is a crucial factor in LC in two respects: First, it is the result of LC and second, it can trigger LC.

This paper addresses the debate on the existence of specifically syntactic restrictions on one of a larger set of structures available in Modern French for information-requesting questions with a non-subject wh-phrase: the so-called whin- situ interrogative construction, in which the wh-phrase occurs in post-verbal position. From a comprehensive investigation of the applicability of such restrictions that is based on a large number of instances of the wh-in-situ interrogative construction from a specially designed large-scale corpus instantiating the present- day French of Metropolitan France, the paper essentially establishes that, in this variety, a fair number of these restrictions do not hold. Additionally, the paper explores the existence of morphological as well as syntactic restrictions not yet thoroughly explored in the literature and, fundamentally, uncovers that, in the variety looked into, various issues pertaining to the verb (tense, mood, passive voice, verb class, non-finite clausal complements) do not bear on the felicity of the wh-in-situ interrogative construction, while a restriction possibly holds that relates to the specificity of the subject.

COVID-19 and its social and political consequences have led to increased attention to the sometimes philosophically neglected concept of solidarity. This paper reflects the discourse on solidarity in times of COVID-19 from the viewpoint of the philosophical debate on solidarity. We argue that currently – regarding this debate – the critical potential of solidarity as a political concept is often undermined. Solidarity should rather be used as a social-diagnostic lens to focus on and criticise problematic exclusions caused by current political developments. This applies especially to the cross-border and transnational dimension of political solidarity, which is often neglected in the national constrictions of political COVID-19 strategies. The paper concludes with observations on which levels and in which directions the reflection on solidarity could stimulate both the political and the philosophical debate on global crises such as COVID-19.

The paper addresses the topic of the unavoidability of contradiction in dealing with issues of scepticism – and how coherence can be restored to sceptical arguments and texts. It considers six classic paradoxes in the history of Western thought – of how language works to undermine and derail the coherence of thought. It also theorizes a philosophy of language approach to restore coherence in the classic instances discussed. As its major example, the paper explores how and why the image of successful, long-standing constitutions is a minimalist image through a discussion of the relationship between epistemological scepticism generally and textual scepticism specifically.
