Under the label »Problemgeschichte« (history of problems), the representatives of both the South-West and Marburg Schools of German neo-Kantianism advanced the search for structures in the socio-cultural world that transcend the bounds of time in order to settle the debate over historicism and relativism. Problems are intellectual questions to which we cannot find answers, but which prompt us, time and again, to consider them anew. Around 1900, a broad consensus emerged about the existence of such basic or primary problems of thought, for example the mind-matter problem or the antinomy of freedom and necessity in human action. Among the epistemological and anthropological explanations, as well as those in the theory of values and the philosophy of life, Nicolai Hartmann’s approach to the history of problems and his conception of intellectual altruism stand out. So far, they have received little attention in research concerning the historiography of philosophy. Taking into account the criticism that Hans-Georg Gadamer has raised against »Problemgeschichte,« this article provides a sympathetic reconstruction of Hartmann’s position. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents an essay by Dietmar Willoweit, on the theory of state of English Franciscan William of Ockham. Willoweit elaborates on the term of sovereignty, and discusses William of Ockham himself as well as his work. In depth, he addresses of Ockham's main work published in the 14. century, titled "Dialogus", which discusses the forms of rule of empires, the limitation of sovereignty, and the political concept of common welfare. He makes comparisons between the modern state theory of Jean Bodin, and the definition of sovereignty as the highest privilege of royalty by Carl Schmitt and Ernst Forsthoff.

The article presents an interpretation of German philosopher Theodor Adorno's writings, focusing on the relationship of form and content of Adorno's texts. According to the author, Adorno transcends theoretical writing by virtue of his distrust of theoretical writing. The author sees in Adorno's text an early form of hypertext with links, hints, and rhetorical figures pointing to his other texts. Adorno's texts have to be read not as linear but as interweaving and reflective.

The article discusses the relationship between art and theory according to the German philosophers Immanuel Kant and Walter Benjamin. Art and theoretical thinking both use abstract symbols. Kant connected the symbolic construction of discourse and the symbolic dimension of words. For Benjamin, the connection of concept and image is even closer, as expressed in theoretical and poetic writing. Benjamin's language hides concepts in pictures, and his metaphors have a philosophical dimension.

In this article I will compare two approaches for defining theoretical terms, that of Logical Empirism (especially the approach of R. Carnap) and that of Structuralism (according to the works of J. Sneed and W. Stegmüller). I will determine explicitly the accounts of theoreticity in both Logical Empirism and Structuralism, and compare them by means of a case study: a structuralistic reconstruction of Neurobiological Constructivism (according to the theory of G. Roth). I will point out that the structuralistic criticism on the account of theoreticity of Logical Empirism is insufficient and that the structuralistic criterion of theoreticity does not satisfy the requirements of demarcation for theoretical terms demanded by Logical Empirism.
