Dialogue – The Mixed Game
More LessAuthor(s): Edda WeigandThe ‘Mixed Game Model’ represents a holistic theory of dialogue which starts from human beings’ competence-in-performance and describes how language is integrated in a general theory of human action and behaviour. Human beings are able to adapt to changing conditions and to pursue their interests by the integrated use of various communicative means, mainly verbal, perceptual and cognitive. The core unit is the dialogic action game or ‘the mixed game’ with human beings at the centre acting and reacting in cultural surroundings. The key to opening up the complex whole is human beings’ nature. The Mixed Game Model demonstrates how the different disciplines of the natural and social sciences and the humanities are mutually interconnected. After a detailed overview of the state of the art, the fundamentals of the theory are laid down. They include a typology of action games which ranges from minimal games to complex institutional games. The description is illustrated by analyses of authentic games.

Dialogue and Rhetoric
Editor(s): Edda WeigandMore LessThe volume deals with the relationship between dialogue and rhetoric. The actual state of the art in dialogue analysis is characterized by a tendency to overcome the distinction between competence and performance and to combine components from both sides of the dichotomy, in a way which includes rules as well as inferences. The same is true of rhetoric: the guidelines proposed here no longer state that rationality and persuasion are mutually exclusive but suggest that they interact in what might be called the ‘mixed game’. The concept of a dialogic rhetoric thus poses the question of how to integrate the different voices. Part I of the volume assembles several ‘rhetorical paradigms’ which are applied to real-life performance. Part II on ‘rhetoric in the mixed game’ contains a selection of papers which illustrate the interaction of various components. The Round Table discussion in Part III brings proponents of different paradigms face to face with each other and shows how they justify their own positions and present arguments against rival paradigms.

Dialog Theory for Critical Argumentation
More LessAuthor(s): Douglas N. WaltonBecause of the need to devise systems for electronic communication on the internet, multi-agent computing is moving to a model of communication as a structured conversation between rational agents. For example, in multi-agent systems, an electronic agent searches around the internet, and collects certain kinds of information by asking questions to other agents. Such agents also reason with each other when they engage in negotiation and persuasion. It is shown in this book that critical argumentation is best represented in this framework by the model of reasoned argument called a dialog, in which two or more parties engage in a polite and orderly exchange with each other according to rules governed by conversation policies. In such dialog argumentation, the two parties reason together by taking turns asking questions, offering replies, and offering reasons to support a claim. They try to settle their disagreements by an orderly conversational exchange that is partly adversarial and partly collaborative.

Drawing the Boundaries of Meaning
Editor(s): Betty J. Birner and Gregory WardMore LessOne of the most lively and contentious issues in contemporary linguistic theory concerns the elusive boundary between semantics and pragmatics, and Professor Laurence R. Horn of Yale University has been at the center of that debate ever since his groundbreaking 1972 UCLA dissertation. This volume in honor of Horn brings together the best of current work at the semantics/pragmatics boundary from a neo-Gricean perspective. Featuring the contributions of 22 leading researchers, it includes papers on implicature (Kent Bach), inference (Betty Birner), presupposition (Barbara Abbott), lexical semantics (Georgia Green, Sally McConnell-Ginet, Steve Kleinedler & Randall Eggert), negation (Pauline Jacobson, Frederick Newmeyer, Scott Schwenter), polarity (Donka Farkas, Anastasia Giannakidou, Michael Israel), implicit variables (Greg Carlson & Gianluca Storto), definiteness (Barbara Partee), reference (Ellen Prince, Andrew Kehler & Gregory Ward), and logic (Jerrold Sadock, Francis Jeffry Pelletier & Andrew Hartline). These original papers represent not only a fitting homage to Larry Horn, but also an important contribution to semantic and pragmatic theory.

Die Disputatio de anima rationali secundum substantiam des Nicolaus Baldelli S.J. nach dem Pariser Codex B.N. lat. 16627
More LessAuthor(s): Henrik WelsThe Disputationes in libros De anima, contained in the Paris Codex B.N. lat. 16627, were recorded for centuries under the name Cesare Cremonini. This study shows the Disputationes to be a transcript of a lecture held by the Jesuit Nicolaus Baldelli (1573-1655) and so, on the basis of the only known manuscript, makes accessible a text instructive for the standard and method of the Aristoteles interpretation pursued at the Collegium Romanum during the early 17th century. The edition of the third Disputatio de anima rationali secundum substantiam that follows shows in exemplary fashion the position taken by the author to the three most important and controversial disputes in rational psychology: Is the rational soul of man only a forma assistens, as contended by Averroes, or, as canonically laid down since the Council of Vienna, a genuine forma informans? Is the soul mortal, as Alexander of Aphrodisias asserted, or, since the Fifth Lateran Council’s article of faith, immortal? Is the possible intellect, as assumed by Averroes, the same in all men, or is it individually different? The study categorizes Baldelli’s teachings on these issues into the Latin Aristotelianism doxographically. An index nominum completes the volume.Die in dem Pariser Codex B.N. lat. 16627 enthaltenen Disputationes in libros De anima wurden jahrhundertelang unter dem Namen Cesare Cremoninis geführt. Die vorliegende Studie erweist die Disputationes als Nachschrift einer Vorlesung des Jesuiten Nicolaus Baldelli (1573-1655) und macht damit einen für das Niveau und die Methode der Aristoteleserklärung am Collegium Romanum im frühen 17. Jahrhundert aufschluîreichen Text nach der einzigen Handschrift zugänglich. Die sich anschlieîende Edition der dritten Disputatio de anima rationali secundum substantiam zeigt exemplarisch die Stellung des Autors zu den drei wichtigsten Streitfragen der rationalen Psychologie: Ist die vernünftige Seele des Menschen mit Averroes nur eine forma assistens oder, wie seit dem Konzil von Vienne kanonisch, eine echte forma informans? Ist sie mit Alexander von Aphrodisias sterblich oder, wie seit dem fünften Laterankonzil Glaubenssatz, unsterblich? Ist der mögliche Intellekt, wie Averroes annimmt, einer in allen Menschen, oder ist er individuell in jedem verschieden? Die Studie ordnet Baldellis Lehrinhalte in diesen Fragen doxographisch in den lateinischen Aristotelismus ein. Der Band wird durch einen Index nominum erschlossen.

Dietrich von Freiberg
Editor(s): Karl-Hermann Kandler, Burkhard Mojsisch and Franz-Bernhard StammkötterMore LessSpätestens seit dem Abschluß der kritischen Edition der Werke Dietrichs von Freiberg im Rahmen des ‘Corpus Philosophorum Teutonicorum Medii Aevi’ ist die philosophische Bedeutung seines Denkens offenkundig. Dietrichs Philosophie ist aus der Philosophiegeschichte des Mittelalters nicht mehr wegzudenken — eine Tatsache, der über die Edition hinaus zahlreiche Einzeluntersuchungen Rechnung getragen haben.
Vom 10. bis 13. März 1997 fand in Freiberg ein Symposion zu Dietrich von Freiberg statt. Der Band vereinigt die Beiträge, die aus diesem Anlaî vorgetragen wurden. Die Breite der Themen umfaît das historische Umfeld im Sachsen seiner Zeit, Aspekte seiner theoretischen und seiner praktischen Philosophie, seine Theologie sowie seine Rezeption durch andere Philosophen des Mittelalters.
The critical edition of Theodoric of Freiberg’s works within the ‘Corpus Philosophorum Teutonicorum Medii Aevi’ now being complete, the philosophical significance of his thought is clearer than ever. Theodoric’s philosophy is an integral part of the intellectual history of the Middle Ages — a fact to which numerous individual studies beyond the edition have attempted to do justice.
This volume collects the papers on Dietrich’s thought presented at a conference in Freiberg (March 10-13, 1997). Themes include the historical context of his contemporary Saxony, aspects of his theoretical and practical philosophy, his theology and the reception of his thought by other philosophers of the Middle Ages.

Destructiones modorum significandi und ihre Destruktionen
Editor(s): Ludger KaczmarekMore LessDie Sprach- und Zeichentheorie des späten 13. und frühen 14. Jahrhunderts ist in den letzten Jahren in wachsendem Maße Gegenstand inhaltlich-systematischer Auseinandersetzungen und historischer Bewertungen geworden. Dies gilt neben den modistischen Schulen auch und gerade für ihre eher nominalistisch-konzeptualistisch ausgerichteten Gegner. Mit wachsender Kenntnis der Texte und ihrer Autoren bedarf manches ältere Urteil heute der Korrektur und Neubewertung. Die Destructiones modorum significandi, in der Inkunabelnzeit mehrfach anonym gedruckt und später sowohl Peter von Ailly als auch Thomas Maulfeit zugeschrieben, werden hier erstmalig auf der Grundlage der zwei bekannten Handschriften kritisch ediert. Sie werfen ein Schlaglicht auf Auseinandersetzungen der Zeit, die um Status und Erkenntniswert von Zeichen und Bedeutung geführt wurden und zeigen dabei Zeichen- und Sprachtheorie, Logik, grammatische Repräsentationsversuche und philosophische Psychologie in ihrer für das 14. Jahrhundert kennzeichnenden Vernetzung.
Eine Einleitung führt in das historische Umfeld der Schrift ein und arbeitet die wissenschaftliehe Diskussion um den Text und seinen möglichen Autor auf.
Autoritäten- und Exemplaregister sowie ein vollständiges Verzeichnis der Wortformen erschließen den Text.
