This volume comprises four papers by logician and philosopher Dagfinn Føllesdal, the art historian Horst Bredekamp, and the jurist Udo Di Fabio, introduced by the philosopher Wolfram Hogrebe.Føllesdal shows analogies in Gödel’s and Husserl’s views on mathematical Platonism. Both, he argues, converge in a Platonism open to revision. Futhermore Føllesdal examines W. V. O. Quine’s concept of behaviorism. He shows that Quine already developed behavioristic ideas before coming to know Skinner. And he rejects the commonmisapprehension that Quine equated stimuli with objects, revealing results that converge with thoughts of Edmund Husserl.As a jurist and philosopher, Di Fabio hasa deep acquaintance with European legal relationships and social crises. He points tothe threateningcollapse of states in a situation wherenoone is able to readtheir global and polycentric structures.Horst Bredekamp deals with the earliest artefacts of human. Likeninghis investigations to those of Darwinhe shows that there was an additional factor in their production from early on: the pursuit of beauty.
