Libri di M. Schmitz

Nell'archivio di Hans Blumenberg è conservata una cartella recante la sigla "GT" e contenente alcuni brevi testi sul tema della storia dello spirito della tecnica (Geistesgeschichte der Technik). In essi Blumenberg illustra sinteticamente come una tale storia dovrebbe o potrebbe configurarsi, più precisamente come essa si distinguerebbe nettamente dalle storie della tecnica che si è soliti scrivere. In questo modo Blumenberg si profila come un anticipatore della storiografia degli sviluppi scientifici e tecnici. I testi, quasi tutti inediti, sono stati pubblicati nel 2009 dai curatori Alexander Schmitz e Bernd Stiegler per conto dell'editore Suhrkamp. Il titolo "Storia dello spirito della tecnica" ha indubbiamente un carattere provocatorio. Blumenberg è d'altra parte aduso alle provocazioni, o meglio alle formulazioni e riflessioni stridenti, che fanno stridere sia la lingua sia il pensiero. Ben lungi dal voler ripristinare la categoria del "Geist" hegeliano, egli è interessato a rilevare e mostrare i punti ove i vari discorsi sulla e della tecnica cigolano e vacillano, ove sono costretti a inventare soluzioni di continuità per assicurare una continuità che invece non è per niente data, ove la logica del flusso evolutivo viene meno e la descrizione e il pensiero vengono a trovarsi nelle secche della discontinuità.

Storico, paesaggista, designer e urbanista, Lucius Burckhardt è stato un pensatore tanto influente quanto eccentrico

Research into the neuropsychiatry of epilepsy has become a central focus of interest in the last five years. Comorbidity of epilepsy with behavioral problems is now recognized widely, and the neuroscientific basis for such comorbidity is an active area of investigation. With an expanded international team of authors, this fully revised new edition builds on the strengths of its predecessor, examining in detail the subtleties of behavioral changes in patients with seizure disorders and offering both a diagnostic and a management perspective. New chapters cover genetic disorders, the effects of epilepsy on social behavior as viewed through theory of mind, a discussion of the precuneus, the importance and nature of peri-ictal psychiatric symptoms, depression and the interictal dysphoric disorder, and the relationship between antiepileptic drugs and suicide. This new edition is a must for anyone involved in diagnosing or managing epilepsy.
