The book deals with post-analytical philosophy of law, which departs from the traditional view which considers philosophical cognition as a sense-making and optimizing activity. It seeks to deconstruct the analytical, both philosophical and legal, narrative to expose it as a collection of schemes which oversimplify the legal and political reality.
This book, Thales and the Beginnings of European Reflection, is more than a field guide to all major testimonies about Thales. It does not merely contain a summary and critique of the available literature on the subject, but also lays down a new, holistic interpretation of Thales from a perspective that brings to light several important, but previously overlooked issues. An emphasis on mythology in Thales¿ thought combined with discourse analysis and a comprehensive treatment of his thinking in its pre-philosophical and pre-scientific unity is hoped to offer a unique and deeper insight into Thales¿ genius and the beginnings of European reflection.

Diese Monographie untersucht Leonard Nelsons Kritik an der Erkenntnistheorie. Leonard Nelson war in den ersten dreißig Jahren des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts ein bekannter Philosoph, der zusammen mit dem Neukantianismus seine Bedeutung verlor. In letzter Zeit lässt sich jedoch eine deutliche Zunahme des Interesses an Neukantianismus beobachten. Dieses Buch leistet somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zu den neuen Tendenzen in der gegenwärtigen philosophischen Geschichtsschreibung und der systematischen Erforschung der zeitgenössischen Philosophie. Der Autor stellt darin eine eingehende und systematische Analyse der Kritik von Nelson an der Erkenntnistheorie dar. Diese Kritik wird vor allem aus der Sicht des Neukantianismus vorgenommen, aber auch andere wichtige Referenzen wie Phänomenologie und Positivismus werden berücksichtigt.
This book reconstructs the history of skepticism ranging from ancient to contemporary times.

The book comprises a systematic analysis of Marx's works on ownership. Marx as the creator of a theory on social reality is a different thinker from the creator of the doctrine of communism.

The achievements of Western democracies (equality, rule of law, social justice) are met with growing disdain. A hierarchical system, largely derived from the nation-state model, pits the (scorned) elites against the (disdained) people. Social give and take does not happen anymore, the situation is being made worse by social media.
