The author presents a number of strategies for making decisions based on desires or values which are incompatible or which conflict with one another in various ways. Cases discussed include conflicts of first and second order desires, conflicts between desires for present and for future ends, problems deriving from anticipated changes of desire, risk-taking problems, and coordination problems. One central claim of the book is that the same dilemma-managing strategies can be applied to all of these. The book also argues that many of the characteristics of moral dilemmas appear in non-moral decision-making. The relations between these strategies and utility-maximizing decision rules are subtle, and are explored throughout the book. To some extent the strategies apply to cases which are too complicated for utility-maximization to apply. Some of them also apply to the early stages of decision-making where utility-maximization does not enter, for example, in selecting a list of options for serious consideration. In some tidy cases, though, the strategies give different recommendations. This book is meant to have both a theoretical and a practical appeal, deriving from our need for ways of making decisions that do not force us to find trade-offs between goods or values which are hard to compare. The strategies presented in the book are meant to be usable in situations which seem to force decision-makers to balance very different quantities, and the discussion of them is meant as a contribution to debates about incomparable values, moral dilemmas and rational decision.

An diesem Sonntag wird der kleinen fr?nkischen Gemeinde bewusst, dass Ihr keine Pfarrerin, sondern ein Pfarrer vorsteht. Doch was Gemeinde und Presse ?berrascht, ist f?r Sebastian Wolfrum nur der konsequente letzte Schritt einer lebenslangen Auseinandersetzung mit sich selbst, dem eigenen K?rper und Gott. In seinem Buch schreibt Wolfrum einf?hlsam und mitrei?end von seinem Leben als Mann in einem Frauenk?rper und dar?ber, was es bedeutet, als Teil der protestantischen Kirche mit dem gottgegebenen K?rper zu hadern.

The abridged, downloadable audiobook edition of How to Be Good, Nick Hornbys No.1 bestseller in the UK and Ireland. Read by the actress Frances Barber.  According to her own complex moral calculations, Katie Carr has earned her affair. Shes a doctor, after all, and doctors are decent people, and on top of that, her husband David is the self-styled Angriest Man in Holloway. But when David suddenly becomes good – properly, maddeningly, give-away-all-his-money good – Katies sums no longer add up, and she is forced to ask herself some very hard questions.   How to Be Good offers a painfully funny account of modern marriage and parenthood, and asks that most difficult of questions: what does it mean to be good?

This cumulative course on Johannes Heinrichs' philosophical works presents the essence of his previous publications: a rich, consistent, and novel system based on a common principle and method: reflection theory. Starting with an emphasis on implicit self-reflection as the basis of epistemology, Heinrichs clarifies the triad of body, soul, and spirit (rejecting the current dualism), which results in the sevenfold anthropology of Vedic and theosophical thinking, then moves on to presenting a summary of his well-known democracy model based on value-levels and, further on, unfolds his fundamental thesis in the area of philosophical semiotics: the big semiotic levels action, language, arts, and mystics. In addition, he presents his religious philosophy, followed by an outline of structural and integral ontology. Finally, an overview of ethical positions and on ethics as value reflection proves the fertility of his method.


Heinrichs developed a “reflection system theory” which is an original up-to-date development of German idealism, inspired by the multi-value logic of Gotthard G?nther. His reflection theory of language presents an alternative to the current language analysis as well as to Noam Chomsky's genetic way of universal grammar. By his systematic approach, he opposes the mere historicism of most Western philosophers. In spiritual respects, he is near to Sri Aurobindo.

Wie geht Leben? Eine triviale Frage. Dennoch haben Menschen aller Zeiten danach gesucht. Die tiefere Frage lautet: Gibt es eine Anleitung zum Leben? Kann man Leben lernen, Leben ?ben, Orientierung finden? Kann es gelingen, gl?cken, gar zur F?lle gelangen? Und dann die Frage: Was ist Leben ?berhaupt? Besonders Biologie und Genetik lernen hier umzudenken. Leben ist komplexer als bisher gedacht. Die Information f?r das Leben ist mehrdimensional. Sie liegt nicht in den Genen allein. Gene m?ssen gesteuert werden. Die Information f?r das Leben, f?r Krankheit und Gesundheit ist wesentlich von sogenannten epigenetischen Faktoren abh?ngig: vom Innen­leben des Menschen, vom Denken und F?hlen, von der Umwelt. Die Selbstverantwortung nimmt zu. Leben hat mit psychischen Reifungsprozessen zu tun, mit Sinnfragen und der Suche nach dem letzten Grund. Das Buch will die existentielle, lebensentscheidende Dimension des Religi?sen herausarbeiten. Es will auch das Selbstverst?ndliche ans Licht holen, das oft ?bersehen wird. Es ist das G?ttliche.

This volume tackles the burden of judgment and the challenges of ethical disagreements, organizes the cohabitation of scientific and ethical argumentations in such a way they find their appropriate place in the political decision. It imagines several forms of agreements and open ways of conflicts resolution very different compared with ones of the majority of political philosophers and political scientists that are macro-social and general. It offers an original contribution to a scrutinized interpretation of the precautionary principle, as structuring the decision in interdisciplinary contexts, to make sure to arrive this time to the “Best of the Worlds”.
