Just a mystery box? Curtain wall of the Ronald O. Perelman Center of Performing Arts in New York A new New York landmark – the Ronald O. Perelman Center for the Performing Arts – rises in stony elegance alongside the World Trade Center. A unique, four‐sided facade of 7200 m2 encloses the ascetic, box‐shaped building. Rolled structural steel beams, split in two locations, were used for this purpose. Lap joint plates, secured with countersunk screw connections are mounted on the roof in order to comply with the architectural intention. All strap joints are designed at the limit of feasible edge distances and without raised contours, in order to bridge the substantial tolerance jump between the massive main structure and the filigree facade. But what questions arise when planning and manufacturing such an exposed building envelope? For steel production, the team not only had to overcome bureaucratic hurdles between DIN and ASTM/AWS, but also met the highest requirements for assembly quality, since all visible areas are mercilessly exposed. A first test setup in Germany helped to unmask significant pitfalls. The identified tolerances in the holes could be minimized in the structure with noteworthy precision and attention to detail. Thanks to this effort, almost 5000 individual glass panes, mounted on mega panels, reached their individual and pre‐planned final positions on the building surface – a logistics chain from the quarry where the marble stone was cut to the construction site in Lower Manhattan. Only the following essay shows where the devil is in the detail of such an architecturally challenging project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Am 22. April 2024 war Immanuel Kants 300. Geburtstag. Sein Werk ist bis heute zentraler Bestandteil der Philosophie überhaupt und insbesondere auch der politischen Philosophie, der Rechtsphilosophie und der Sozialphilosophie. 2024 ist zudem das 240. Jubiläum von Kants wirkmächtigem Essay „Beantwortung der Frage: Was ist Aufklärung?“ (1784). Aufklärung, so schreibt Kant darin, beinhaltet die Aufdeckung und Befreiung von der Macht politischer, sozialer und religiöser „Vormünder“[1], die die aufklärerischen Subjekte in ihrem moralischen Recht auf gleiche und freie Co-Autorschaft im „Reich der Zwecke“[2] einschränken. Kants Aufklärungsbegriff gehört auch heute zu einem der bedeutendsten Schlüsselbegriffe in der zeitgenössischen Philosophie, etwa in der Frage nach der dritten oder neuen Aufklärung (Hilary Putnam, Michael Hampe, Corine Pelluchon). Dass Kants Aufklärungsverständnis auch eine zentrale Rolle in der zeitgenössischen, zentral diskutierten, neorepublikanischen Debatte um Nicht-Beherrschung (Philip Pettit) spielen könnte, wird derzeit eher weniger gesehen, auch wenn Kant in dieser Debatte natürlich präsent ist (Rainer Forst, Dorothea Gädeke, Tamara Jugov, Peter Niesen, Arthur Ripstein, Laura Valentini). Der Schwerpunkt der Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie nimmt Kants Jubiläumsjahr nun zum Anlass, um Schlaglichter auf Kants kritisch konstruktives Verständnis von Aufklärung zu werfen, es kritisch zu hinterfragen und seine Relevanz für Gegenwart und Zukunft herauszuarbeiten. Die Einleitung unternimmt dies mit Hinblick auf das Verhältnis von Aufklärung, Willkürherrschaft und Toleranz. [1] WA, 8, 35. [2] G, 4, 433.

Der vorliegende Beitrag befasst sich mit der Frage, welche Rechte und Pflichten trans Schüler*innen, ihre Mitschüler*innen, Eltern und die Schule im gegenseitigen Verhältnis haben. Zuerst wird die Rechtsstellung der einzelnen Akteure dargelegt. In einem zweiten Schritt wird anhand einiger Beispielkonstellationen beleuchtet, wie widerstreitende Interessen und Rechtspositionen in Einklang gebracht werden könnten. Oftmals stösst das Recht allerdings an seine Grenzen und vermag keine befriedigende Lösung zu präsentieren. Viel wichtiger ist es, ein Klima von Toleranz, Akzeptanz und Offenheit zu schaffen und allen Beteiligten die Möglichkeit zu geben, sich zu äussern.

Die Frage moralischer und/oder rechtlicher Grenzen der Meinungsfreiheit, der Grenzen des Sagbaren und Tolerierbaren, stellt zunehmend eine gesellschaftliche und politische Metadebatte dar, in der Versuche, komplexe Phänomene des Aushandelns von Grenzen des Zulässigen bzw. Notwendigen semantisch zu fixieren, von erheblichem Lagerdenken zeugen. Wer von „Politischer Korrektheit“, „Cancel Culture“, „Meinungsdiktatur“ oder „Kontaktschuld“ spricht, steht klar auf der einen Seite, so scheint es; wer von „Diskriminierung“, „Rassismus“, „Hassrede“ oder „weißen Privilegien“ spricht, auf der anderen. Vor dem Hintergrund solch verfestigter Diskursbahnen stellt die Frage, ob wir alles tolerieren müssen, was andere sagen, eine Erwägungsaufgabe dar, die nur mit einem Schritt zurück überhaupt adressierbar ist, will man nicht mit dem Jargon der einen Seite die Anliegen der anderen ausschließen und damit den ungeprüften Eindruck befördern, es handle sich hier tatsächlich um eine unversöhnliche Polarisierung, der die Philosophie nichts hinzuzufügen habe, außer vielleicht ein Lamento oder eine moralische Geste. Der Umweg, über den ich im Folgenden die von dieser Schwerpunktausgabe gestellte Frage behandeln möchte, führt zunächst zu einer Analyse der Ansprüche, die plurale Demokratien an ihre Mitglieder stellen. Diese sind nicht nur grundsätzlich hoch, sondern mitunter auch in sich konfliktträchtig. Konkret betrifft dies die Anforderung an Mitglieder demokratischer Gemeinwesen, sowohl bürgerliche Toleranz zu üben als auch diskursives Engagement als Vorbedingung qualitätsvoller demokratischer Meinungsbildung und Entscheidungsfindung an den Tag zu legen. Die jeweils ‚richtige Mitte‘ lässt sich dann am besten finden, wenn die Risiken zweier Extreme bewusstgemacht werden, die daran geknüpft sind, dass einerseits ein zu hohes Maß an ziviler Toleranz zulasten diskursiven Engagements geht und andererseits ein Mangel an bürgerlicher Toleranz diskursives Engagement gefährdet. Entlang dieser beiden Formen einer verhängnisvollen Dysbalance des demokratischen Ethos möchte ich Grundzüge einer demokratischen Ethik der freien Rede und freien Widerrede herausarbeiten und Implikationen für Grenzen von Meinungsfreiheit bzw. Kritik beleuchten.

Nicht selten wird zum Beispiel in Diskussionen um „Political Correctness“ oder „Cancel Culture“ Kritik an bestimmten Positionen geübt und im Namen der Meinungsfreiheit zugleich Kritik an der eigenen Meinung zurückgewiesen. Offenbar besteht Klärungsbedarf in Bezug darauf, ob und, wenn ja, wann Kritik ebenso wie ihre Zurückweisung berechtigt sind. Hierzu gilt es insbesondere den Zusammenhang eingehender zu betrachten zwischen dem universellen Recht auf Redefreiheit, dessen gesetzlicher Kodifizierung und den ethischen Anforderungen, denen Redebeiträge und deren Kritik unterstehen. In sieben Beiträgen wird aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln das Thema des Schwerpunkts „Redefreiheit und Kritik: Müssen wir alles tolerieren, was andere sagen?“ beleuchtet. Dabei soll auch die öffentliche und nicht nur die akademische Debatte über das Recht auf Rede- bzw. Meinungsfreiheit sowie die normativen Grenzen von Kritik bereichert werden.

Background: Food protein‐induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non‐IgE‐mediated food allergy, with potential dehydration secondary to vomiting. Differences exist regarding culprit foods, and age of tolerance depending on the country of origin. We aimed at describing the characteristics of a French population of children with FPIES, and define risk factors for failure during challenge. Methods: Data from 179 children who were referred for FPIES in two pediatric tertiary centers between 2014 and 2020 were retrospectively collected. The diagnosis of FPIES was based on international consensus guidelines. Clinical characteristics, culprit food, and age at resolution were assessed. Tolerance was defined as no adverse reaction after OFC or accidental exposure. Results: In the 192 described FPIES, the age at first symptoms was 5.8 months old. The main offending foods were cow's milk (60.3%), hen's egg (16.2%), and fish (11.7%). Single FPIES was observed in 94.4% and multiple FPIES in 5.6% of cases. The age at resolution of FPIES was 2.2 years old, and resolution occurred later for fish than for milk (2.9 years vs. 2.0, p = 0.01). Severe acute FPIES was a risk factor for delayed resolution (RR: 3.3 [1.2–9.2]), but not IgE sensitization. Performing a food challenge within 12 months after the first reaction increased the risk of failure (OR: 2.6 [1.1–6.6]). Conclusion: In this French cohort of children with FPIES, the main culprit foods were ubiquitous. Rice, oat, and soy were rarely or not involved. Multiple FPIES was infrequent. Our data confirmed the overall good prognosis of FPIES, the later resolution of FPIES to fish and in the case of severe acute FPIES. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Especially in current times of crisis and various challenges to democratic rules and processes, democracy is fundamentally dependent on public deliberation and therefore requires processes of learning and acquiring the necessary skills in dealing with political ambiguities. For the formation and cultivation of democratic consciousness, which is of great urgency in order to oppose anti-democratic attitudes and practices effectively, religious education has to take up a specific role and responsibility. From a fundamentally intersubjective orientation towards the acquisition and cultivation of tolerance of ambiguity, religious education contributes specifically in a theological sense by raising aspects of human dignity and the recognition of the other, equality regardless of gender, origin, race or religion.

The article "The Audacious We: Identity Politics, Tolerance, and Democratic Education" examines the connection between identity politics and (in)tolerance. It discusses various forms of identity politics that can be both progressive and intolerant. The text criticizes various aspects of identity politics and argues that political demands based on identity politics can be antidemocratic. It emphasizes that liberal democracy should be measured by its own values and that right-wing identity politics aims for exclusion and intolerance, while left-wing identity politics promotes a more inclusive and pluralistic "we". The text also discusses the role of identity politics in democratic education and emphasizes the importance of tolerance and pluralistic identity. [Extracted from the article]

The summary of the article "Tolerance: An Ethical Challenge for Education" deals with the concept of tolerance and the associated ethical challenges in education. Various theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches are discussed, which deal with different meanings of the concept. The article emphasizes the importance of tolerance in educational practice and presents examples from empirical studies. It also addresses the importance of intercultural competence in educational work and how it relates to ethical challenges and tolerance for diversity. Other topics addressed in the article are flight and migration, as well as ethical challenges related to patients' right to self-determination. [Extracted from the article]

The article "Tolerance and the question of its teachability" deals with the question of whether tolerance can be taught in pedagogy. Tolerance is considered one of the core values in pluralistic and multicultural societies, but it is also associated with paradoxes. The article examines the historical development of the concept of tolerance and analyzes it systematically and philosophically. Various conceptions of tolerance and their pedagogical implementation are discussed. The article emphasizes that tolerance as an educational goal in a pluralistic, multicultural, and liberal society is a cross-cutting task and that pedagogical action is based on the principle of validity, in which validity claims are examined and accepted or rejected.

The article focuses on the work of author Ignaz von Döllinger such as books "The Church and the Churches" and "The History of Religious Freedom." It mentions numerous ecumenical initiatives, paved the way for the communion community between Anglicans and Anglicans agreed upon in 1931 Old Catholics. It also mentions accurate observation of the ecclesiastical disputes in the Church of England and fascinating of all post-Reformation church formations.

Der rezensierte Sammelband markiert den Auftakt für ein neues Forschungsfeld kritischer, deutscher Stadtforschung. Das ist nicht nur zeitgemäß, sondern überfällig. Die Autor*innen der Studie fokussieren insbesondere das städtische Moment rechter Narrative in der Stadtpolitik, entlang von Fragen städtischer Sicherheit, der Verkehrspolitik und der Wohnungsfrage in Leipzig und Stuttgart. Während sich die politisch Verantwortlichen ratlos zeigen, verschieben die Forscher*innen ihren Fokus auf die Mikrokonflikte der Lebenswelt: Eine dichte Beschreibung des städtischen Alltagslebens, die sich mit Blick auf Politikverdrossenheit – Resonanz versus Entfremdung –, vor allem aber durch die Unterscheidung zwischen Toleranz und Anerkennung rechter Narrative in der deutschen Stadt analytisch noch schärfen ließe. In Anbetracht bevorstehender Untersuchungen zur diskursiven Rahmung rechter Bewegungen (DFG-Netzwerk) ist das Forschungsfeld hiermit jedoch bestellt.

In times of emerging multi-drug resistance among Gram-negative bacteria (including Salmonella enterica, Serovar Typhi), we observed relapse of typhoid fever following delayed response to treatment with meropenem, suggestive for limited clinical efficacy of the drug. Three previously published cases supported our suspicion. Within this context, we discuss the case details with a focus on potential explanations for insufficient clinical response to meropenem (e.g. limited intracellular penetration, phenomena of tolerance and persistence). Meropenem is a last-resort antimicrobial agent for the treatment of multi-drug resistant Gram-negative infections. Reliable clinical data evaluating the efficacy of meropenem for the treatment of typhoid fever are urgently needed. Future clinical studies evaluating typhoid fever outcome should also investigate the impact of (i) intracellular penetration of antibiotics, and (ii) tolerance and persistence on outcome.
