Neo-Kantianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fischer was early involved in a dispute with the Aristotelian Alfred Trendelenburg concerning the interpretation of the results of the Transcendental Aesthetic, a dispute that subsequently prompted Vaihinger 's massive commentary on the Critique of Pure Reason. By contrast the Baden School of Wilhelm Windelband, Heinrich Rickert and Emil Lask tended to emphasize logic and science. The Neo-Kantian school was of seminal importance in devising a division of philosophy that had durable influence well beyond Germany. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Marburg_School   (645 words)

Harvard Medical School - WebWeekly   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) Marburg is in the same family as Ebola virus, the filovirus family. Marburg, with its high fatality rates and human-to-human transmission in aerosol form, is considered a Category A Critical Biological Agent, in the company of anthrax, smallpox, plague, and Ebola. In a 1998 article on emerging infectious diseases, Henderson, the physician who led the worldwide effort to eradicate smallpox, wrote of the vector bioweapons facility in Russia: “Through the early 1990s, this was a 4,000-person, 30-building facility with ample biosafety level 4 laboratory facilities, used for the isolation of both specimens and human cases. webweekly.hms.harvard.edu /archive/2005/5_31/student_scene.html   (1106 words)

Notes to Paul Natorp Cohen is often described as the founder of the “Marburg School.” Yet, as he himself says, he and his colleagues were “surprised by the proclamation of a ‘Marburg School’ in the journals” around 1900, a not always well-meant appellation (Cohen 1914: 466). The question of the Marburg School's real, as opposed to its rhetorical, relationship to Hegel and especially Fichte is a separate issue. While for the Marburg School the natural sciences were the paradigmatic sciences, recent research shows that in fact classical philology had the highest prestige in the eyes of the public: see Glenn Most's (1994). www.science.uva.nl /~seop/entries/natorp/notes.html   (1587 words)

Paul Natorp Beyond the issue of reason's autonomy or priority, another central issue for Natorp is reason's history; again, this is a concern typical of the Marburg School generally; one of its peculiarities is the quasi-Hegelian insistence upon the integration of the systematic and historical moments of philosophy. The Marburg view of that history differs importantly from Hegel's, with which it might seem to have much in common, in two respects: first, it is not based upon a sequence of conceptual contradiction and resolution; second, the history of science's development is relativistic, that is, in principle incapable of achieving an “absolute” resolution. The Marburg “theory” of history to which Natorp subscribes, and in light of which he writes his Platos Ideenlehre, is this: Plato's moment of insight into the truth of transcendental idealism (à la Cohen), is followed by millenia of dark irrelevance, punctuated by shining rings of recollection, epitomized by Galileo, Newton, and Kant. plato.stanford.edu /entries/natorp   (9511 words)

Dairying in the Rosewood Scrub - Chapter 4: Dairy Life Every small local school had a calf club, and girls and boys alike took pride in grooming their calves for club day. As far as possible, school dances, church socials and committee meetings were scheduled at full moon to help people walk or ride the dark paths home. Larger towns like Lowood, Marburg and Rosewood would eventually raise funds to establish a public hall, or even better, a school of arts, where gala balls, concerts, and public meetings were held. www.home.gil.com.au /~rshs/dairying4.html   (1739 words)

Hermann Cohen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hermann Cohen ( 4 July 1842 - 4 April 1918) was a German - Jewish philosopher, one of the founders of the Marburg School of Neo-Kantianism, and he is often held to be "probably the most important Jewish philosopher of the nineteenth century" (Jewish Virtual Library). In 1873, he became Privatdozent in the philosophical faculty of the University of Marburg, the thesis with which he obtained the venia legendi being Die systematischen Begriffe in Kant's vorkritischen Schriften nach ihrem Verhältniss zum kritischen Idealismus.

The Standard - Killer bugs under the microscope - Focus Section The latest Marburg outbreak has killed at least 277 people in Angola, hundreds of kilometers from where it last emerged four years ago, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Marburg kills more than one-quarter of its victims; early figures from Angola are much higher, with a death rate of about 90 percent.

Hirst   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) On 2 November 1850 Hirst enrolled at the University of Marburg to study mathematics, physics and chemistry. When he was close to completing his doctorate (this was a first degree in Germany for those who took the course at this time) a comment from Tyndall made him decide to carry on with his studies of mathematics and to visit other German universities such as Berlin and Göttingen. The association soon took on board the improvement of teaching of all mathematical topics in schools and was renamed the Mathematical Association. www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk /~history/Mathematicians/Hirst.html   (1781 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) The isolation of this second group from the post-war centers of power meant that it was not in a position to contribute to the development of the anglo-american field of the philosophy of science. The Marburg School, among whose members were Rudolf Carnap, Ernst Cassirer, and Hermann Cohen, was focused on the natural sciences and, seeing the natural sciences as universal cultural knowledge, was animated by a political philosophy that saw the future of human society as tied to a universal culture modeled on the natural sciences. The South-West German School, that included Heidegger and Heinrich Rickert, was focused on the social and human sciences, and was animated politically by a respect for a plurality of national cultures, though hierarchically ordered. www.georgetown.edu /faculty/heelanp/Heid.Carnap.02.htm   (6887 words)

20th WCP: The Neo-Kantians and the 'Logicist' Definition of Number The Marburg school concentrated on logical, methodological and epistemological themes. Its founder and leader was Hermann Cohen (1842-1918), a professor of philosophy at Marburg between 1876 and 1912. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the philosophy of mathematics in general and the nature of number in particular were subjects of lively discussion among the neo-Kantians. www.bu.edu /wcp/Papers/Math/MathPulk.htm   (3301 words)

Hemorrhagic fever viruses examined as potential bioweapons Ebola, Marburg, Lassa, and other viruses that cause deadly hemorrhagic fever illnesses could be used as biological weapons, according to a report from the Working Group on Civilian Biodefense, a panel of 26 experts convened by the Center for Civilian Biodefense Strategies at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Ebola and Marburg, which belong to the Filoviridae family of viruses, can be spread from person to person and are among the most deadly hemorrhagic fever illnesses.

More than 16,000 university students in Marburg characterise the city just as much as the carefully restored half-timbered houses in the upper part of town.

UNESCO Newsletter -- Projects   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) Most schools (I cannot provide an exact figure, but about 80% of the teachers have responded saying that their school does own a computer with access to the Internet) in bigger towns and cities of India have at least one computer with an Internet access. Indeed, the since ever recognised role of the school textbook for the scientific field of education does not find continuity at the level of the work which is being carried on.

Update2 In other Marburg-related news, the current Marburg government just annouced that they will be closing the Freibad (now located past the youth hostel on the banks of the Lahn) as of this summer. Due to the closing of the Luisebad there is no indoor pool in downtown Marburg, so they have decided to kill two birds with one stone: build a giant water-type park on the Trojedamm (in the Weidenhausen part of town -- remember where they rented out paddle boats in the summer?). Until then, Marburgers will either have to be content with the indoor pool in Marbach or somehow get out to the Baggersee in Niederweimar. www.kjochimsen.de /Update2.htm   (1232 words)

Hans Vaihinger’s Kant-Studien The word "movement" may give the impression that there was one school of thought with all members agreeing on Kant’s contribution to philosophy. There was a half a dozen "schools" which fought with each other; consider the rivalry between the Marburg school, founded primarily by Hermann Cohen, and the Southwest, or Heidelberg school, founded by Kuno Fischer. The decades of 1880 and 1890 saw the various neo-Kantian schools continue to advance their own interpretations and their own students, often to the detriment of other interpretations and students. www.uni-mainz.de /~kant/kfs/ks/history/adair-toteff.html   (2250 words)

Ernst Cassirer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) He studied at Marburg from 1896 to 1899, when he completed his doctoral work with a dissertation on Descartes's analysis of mathematical and natural scientific knowledge. The conception of human beings as most fundamentally “symbolic animals,” interposing systems of signs or systems of expression between themselves and the world, then becomes the guiding philosophical motif for elucidating the corresponding conditions of possibility for the “fact of culture” in all of its richness and diversity. The eventual result is the world of modern mathematical physics described in Cassirer's earlier scientific works — a pure system of formal relations where, in particular, the intuitive concept of substantial thing has finally been replaced by the relational-functional concept of universal law. www.science.uva.nl /~seop/entries/cassirer   (3634 words)

Gradenko go around armed like she was on a SWAT team while trying to get her students to work out some algebraic formula on the flboard might sound like lots of fun to some of the mouth-breathers who populate the NRA, but there are better ways to combat this problem. Maybe doing more to intervene with kids who are wandering around the school referring to themselves as an "Angel of Death" or "NativeNazi" and putting them into alternative schooling - or send them off to have their heads examined - would help a bit too. 713state.blogspot.com /2005_03_20_713state_archive.html   (3295 words)
