El centro de la obra de Reinhart Koselleck lo ocupa la denominada historia de los conceptos, cuyo paradigma él desarrolló ?en su calidad de historiador pensante, como le llamara Hans-Georg Gadamer?, convirtiéndolo en fundamento del monumental diccionario Conceptos históricos fundamentales, editado junto con Otto Brunner y Werner Conze. La historia de los conceptos se dirige específicamente contra una historia de las ideas abstracta y se orienta hacia el estudio de los usos lingüísticos en la vida social, política y jurídica. Este enfoque es así capaz de medir las experiencias y expectativas concretas en el punto de articulación entre las fuentes, ligadas al lenguaje, y la realidad político-social.Los escritos reunidos en este volumen constituyen la parte más significativa del último legado intelectual de Koselleck. En ellos se narra la historia del mundo moderno a través de las historias de conceptos como revolución, crisis, ilustración, emancipación, Bildung y utopía. Se pone así d

Reinhart Koselleck is one of the most important theorists of history and historiography of the last half century. His work has implications for contemporary cultural studies that extend far beyond discussions of the practical problems of historical method. He is the foremost exponent and practitioner of Begriffsgeschichte, a methodology of historical studies that focuses on the invention and development of the fundamental concepts underlying and informing a distinctively historical manner of being in the world. The eighteen essays in this volume illustrate the four theses of Koselleck's concept of history. First, historical process is marked by a distinctive kind of temporality different from that found in nature. This temporality is multileveled and subject to different rates of acceleration and deceleration, and functions not only as a matrix within which historical events happen but also as a causal force in the determination of social reality in its own right. Second, historical reality is social reality, an internally differentiated structure of functional relationships in which the rights and interests of one group collide with those of other groups, and lead to the kinds of conflict in which defeat is experienced as an ethical failure requiring reflection on "what went wrong" to determine the historical significance of the conflict itself. Third, the history of historiography is a history of the evolution of the language of historians. In this respect, Koselleck's work converges with that of Barthes, Foucault, and Derrida, all of whom stress the status of historiography as discourse rather than as discipline, and feature the constitutive nature of historical discourse as against its claim to literal truthfulness. Finally, the fourth aspect of Koselleck's notion of the concept of history is that a properly historicist concept of history is informed by the realization that what we call modernity is nothing more than an aspect of the discovery of history's concept in our age. The aporias of modernism—in arts and letters as well as in the human and natural sciences—are a function of the discovery of the historicity of both society and knowledge.

Mit diesem Band liegt erstmalig eine vollständige und kommentierte Übersetzung des schriftstellerischen Hauptwerks Bernard Palissys (1510-1590) in deutscher Sprache vor, und damit einer der bedeutendsten altfranzösischen Texte der Frühen Neuzeit. Der Keramikkünstler, für seine Abformungen von Tieren und Pflanzen im „Stil rustique" bekannt, behandelt in den Discours hydrologische, mineralogische und paläontologische Themenfelder der Geowissenschaften. Er plädiert für eine induktive, für seine Zeit fortschrittliche Naturforschung und verschränkt diese mit seiner Keramikkunst. Der Kommentarteil der Publikation analysiert zentrale Begriffe wie Naturnachahmung, Experiment, Modell und Sammlungswesen und deckt so die Bedeutungszusammenhänge von Palissys Erkenntnis- und Wissensbildung auf.

Modernity in the late eighteenth century transformed all domains of European life -intellectual, industrial, and social. Not least affected was the experience of time itself: ever-accelerating change left people with briefer intervals of time in which to gather new experiences and adapt. In this provocative and erudite book Reinhart Koselleck, a distinguished philosopher of history, explores the concept of historical time by posing the question: what kind of experience is opened up by the emergence of modernity? Relying on an extraordinary array of witnesses and texts from politicians, philosophers, theologians, and poets to Renaissance paintings and the dreams of German citizens during the Third Reich, Koselleck shows that, with the advent of modernity, the past and the future became 'relocated' in relation to each other.The promises of modernity -freedom, progress, infinite human improvement -produced a world accelerating toward an unknown and unknowable future within which awaited the possibility of achieving utopian fulfillment. History, Koselleck asserts, emerged in this crucial moment as a new temporality providing distinctly new ways of assimilating experience. In the present context of globalization and its resulting crises, the modern world once again faces a crisis in aligning the experience of past and present. To realize that each present was once an imagined future may help us once again place ourselves within a temporality organized by human thought and humane ends as much as by the contingencies of uncontrolled events.

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and chlorofluorocarbons, are all increasing in the atmosphere. These gases are directly affecting biological processes in trees and ecological processes in forests.They are also causing considerable radiant energy to be trapped near the earth’s surface resulting in the so-called “greenhouse” effect which may significantly alter global climate in the 21st century. However, this issue is subject to some controversyThis book provides an authoritative review, written by expert world forest scientists, of what is known about the impact of elevated CO2 and other greenhouse gases on forest ecosystems.
