Pokud jste někdy přemýšleli nad tím, co si asi tak myslí váš šéf nebo zda je vaše manželka šťastná, vpustili jste je tím do „klubu mysli“. Je snadné předpokládat a zdá se to být samozřejmé, že i ostatní lidé myslí a cítí, ale platí to také u krávy, počítače či korporace? Jaký druh mysli mají? A jak dobře znáte svou vlastní mysl?
Oceňovaní američtí psychologové Daniel M. Wegner a Kurt Gray objevili, že mysl – při její neskutečné důležitosti – je záležitost vnímání. Jejich výzkum otevírá pokladnici nových poznatků a postřehů o lidském chování, které jsou fascinující a zábavné a současně děsivé. Klub mysli vysvětluje, proč některá zvířata milujeme a jiná klidně jíme, proč lidé tak intenzivně debatují o existenci boha, jak je možné, že dobří lidé mohou být tak krutí a proč roboti jsou tak špatnými milenci. Tím, že zkoumají vnímání mysli u jejích výjimečných nositelů – zvířat, strojů, lidí v kómatu či boha –, autoři vysvětlují, co to vlastně znamená mít mysl a proč na tom tolik záleží.
Propojením novátorského výzkumu a osobnějších příhod a historek Klub mysli soucitně a s důvtipem zkoumá morální dimenze vnímání mysli. Odhaluje přitom překvapivě jednoduché základy toho, co nás nutí milovat, nenávidět, zraňovat a chránit.
Die Arbeit untersucht die komplexe Definition des Begriffs "europäisch" im Kontext von Medien und Kommunikation. Ein zentraler Aspekt ist die Koproduktion, die als gemeinschaftliche Herstellung verstanden wird. Dabei spielen Koproduktionsverträge eine entscheidende Rolle, um die Vereinbarungen zwischen den Partnern festzuhalten und zu klären. Die Analyse bietet Einblicke in die Medienökonomie und das Management innerhalb europäischer Koproduktionen.
Theologische Aspekte und Praxisanalysen zur Gemeinwesendiakonie
Wie können Kooperationen zwischen Diakonie und Kirche gelingen? Neben zahlreichen Gemeinsamkeiten und Verknüpfungen weisen beide sehr unterschiedliche Systemlogiken auf. Aus theologischer und sozialwissenschaftlicher Perspektive werden organisationale und interaktionale Aspekte von Diakonie und Kirche analysiert und die Gemeinwesendiakonie als kooperativer Kontext betrachtet. In zwei empirischen Studien werden anschließend die Kirchenkreissozialarbeit und ein gemeinwesendiakonisches Förderprojekt untersucht. Dabei werden unterschiedliche Typen gelingender Kooperationen herausgearbeitet. Es wird deutlich: Wo Diakonie und Kirche zusammenarbeiten, werden sie zu wichtigen Gestalterinnen in der Zivilgesellschaft. [[Cooperation between Diaconia and Church]] How can cooperation between diaconal institutions and church succeed? Besides numerous similarities and links, both actors have very different system logics. From theological and social scientific perspectives, organizational and interactional aspects of diaconia and church are analyzed and community diaconia is considered as a cooperative context. Subsequently, two empirical studies examine Kirchenkreissozialarbeit (social work of a church district) and a community diaconia support project. Different types of successful cooperation are identified. It becomes clear that where diaconal institutions and church cooperate, they become important shapers in civil society.
If we could only mind read, we would know how our first date or job interview
really went. In reality, we understand little about what goes on in the minds
of others, even those we think we know best. According to psychologists Wegner
and Gray, 'you can never be certain that other minds even exist .' The authors
explore these uncertainties, weaving together personal anecdotes and research
on human behavior and perception to try to unravel the mysteries of the mind.-

feel pain and suffer? When it comes to morality-abortion, animal rights, legal
culpability-many of the deepest questions boil down to: Does he or she (or
even it) have a properly working mind? In lucid prose, Wegner and Gray explore
the profound nature and implications of this question-one that is becoming all
the more complex as lines of awareness and intent blur in a world where
technology is rapidly advancing.- David DeSteno, author of Out of Character An
