Jens Timmermann provides a detailed philosophical, developmental and historical analysis of Immanuel Kant's 1797 essay 'On a Supposed Right to Lie from Love of Humanity', in which Kant argues that it is criminally wrong to lie to protect a friend from being murdered"--

Jens Timmerman illuminates Immanuel Kant's answer to an age-old philosophical question: what happens when human beings fail to do as reason bids? He shows that Kant's hybrid theory comprises Socratic intellectualism in the realm of prudence along with an anti-intellectualist or volitional account of immoral action.

BeschreibungGases have to be specifically mixed with a continuous liquid phase to perform a reaction with high yield and selectivity. The time scales of mixing are determined by the transport processes in the boundary layer close to the phase boundary and by bubble swarm turbulence. For clarification of the local mass transfer in bubbly flows, an experimental setup is developed and successfully used to investigate single rectilinear (spherical...

Die Arbeit untersucht Funk-Übertragung bei extrem großer Bandbreite. Zur Übertragung werden Komponenten benötigt, die über der gesamten Bandbreite konstante Eigenschaften aufweisen. Dies ist in der Realität nicht realisierbar und führt zu Signalstörungen. Die Arbeit modelliert solche Nicht-Idealitäten, bindet sie in ein messdatenbasiertes Systemmodell ein, untersucht das Systemverhalten und optimiert die Performance durch Methoden der Kompensa...

This collection of essays, by international Kant scholars and moral philosophers, discusses Kant's philosophical development and his rejection of earlier moral theories, the role of happiness and inclination in the Groundwork, Kant's metaphysics and theory of value, and his attempt to justify the categorical imperative as a principle of freedom.

Im ersten Teil stehen die Begriffe der Freiheit und des Willens bei Kant im Mittelpunkt. Der zweite Teil untersucht detailliert die Kernpunkte der kantischen Ethik: den (letztlich gescheiterten) Versuch, Freiheit und Naturkausalität auszusöhnen, und die Theorie des Handelns nach Moralgesetzen, deren Wah...
