Born in Liverpool in 1949, Tony Cragg is one of a group of young British sculptors who came to the fore in the early 1980s and went on to achieve significant international acclaim. This book includes sculptures, drawings, and graphic works by Cragg. He is constantly weaving new ideas into his work, a creative urge that is closely linked to his use of a wide variety of materials. His explorations in new materials continue -- most recently, a body of work in carbon fiber/Teflar. An anthology of quotations from Cragg's own writings and others elucidate the relationships between concept, form, and material in his work. Tony Cragg lives and works in Wuppertal, Germany.
Gareth Evans, einer der brillantesten Philosophen seiner Generation, starb 1980 im Alter von nur 34 Jahren. In seinem unvollendeten Meisterwerk Die Vielfalt der Referenz entwickelt Evans im Ausgang von Frege und Russell eine Theorie des Bezugs und der Bezugnahme im Rahmen einer umfassenderen Theorie des Verstehens und Denkens. John McDowell hat das Manuskript nach Evans' Tod für die Publikation vorbereitet und mit einem Vorwort versehen. Nun ist es erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung zu entdecken: ein Meilenstein der jüngeren Philosophiegeschichte!
