Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book deals with two areas, for which there is rarely a search for a common denominator: the human nervous system and the problems of civilisation. What are the performance features of the nervous system How do these act together How do modes o…f behaviour, emotions, cognitive achievements, artistic inclinations, the psyche and the self-conscious mind evolve from this This subject is a controversial area and there are many attempts at interpreting the named phenomena from different fields. Eckhard Schindler adds another one. He directs attention to significant findings from neurosciences and applies the method of abstraction to this. The result is a hypothetical but consistent description of the system which could be concealed behind the nervous system.In the other section of the book, the human failings of our time are subject to a critical analysis. In large parts of the world crime, violence and corruption prevail. A substantial part of technological achievements is aimed at being able to commit brutal acts of war. The natural environment and biodiversity are our livelihoods, but we are knowingly destroying this abundance. We are following the principles of accelerated consumption, economic growth and the increase in shareholder value towards disaster. We have efficient technologies and industries and allow people to starve. It can also hardly be denied that the human being is equipped with a pronounced propensity towards destructive modes of behaviour. Great cultural achievements are at any moment undermined by disaster.Analysis of this dark side of civilisation is followed by the search for solutions. The idea of a largely peaceful, fair and systematic (sustainable) management of global cultural society appears to be a utopia considering the geopolitical realities. Eckhard Schindler contrasts this resigned perception with practical problem-solving approaches. The principles of the system behind the nervous system here act as a starting point.

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The world seems to become more complex from day to day. This trend characterizes our daily life - for example by the diversification of product worlds, by a growing jungle of laws, ordinances and regulations as well as by growing international inte…rconnectedness in economy, culture and politics. At the same time, we produce a gain in knowledge and technologies, which has never been seen before. But what grows faster, is the finding of how limited our understanding of the world is. This refers not least to the organ, which we use to meet the continuously complicating matters - our brain. However, the neurosciences make great progress, and they succeeded in explaining lots of phenomena and in treating many diseases. But the findings about how the brain acts as an autonomous system or as a "brain processor" are limited, what not least results from the highly specialized research culture. But how might it be possible to keep control over complex societal processes while our insights into the appropriate control organ are deficient? Eckhard Schindler deals with this topic and tries to highlight some of the systemic artifices, which made the brain the most successful organ of our time. He describes a macro model, which explains how the nervous system intermediates between natural environment, social environment and body, and how it became a medium for pragmatic and creative reflection of nature in neural patterns. A final conclusion is that the brain generates the present-day complexity to a great extent on its own, and that it is thus mostly challenged by requirements that are produced by itself.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Dieses Buch behandelt zwei Themenbereiche, für die eher selten ein gemeinsamer Nenner gesucht wird: das menschliche Nervensystem und die Zivilisationsprobleme. Worin bestehen die Leistungsmerkmale des Nervensystems. Wie spielen diese zusammen Wie e…ntstehen daraus Verhaltensweisen, Emotionen, kognitive Leistungen, künstlerische Neigungen, die Seele und der selbstbewusste Geist Diese Thematik ist ein umstrittenes Terrain, und für die genannten Phänomene gibt es viele Deutungsversuche aus unterschiedlichen Fachgebieten. Eckhard Schindler fügt einen weiteren hinzu. Er lenkt den Blick auf wesentliche Erkenntnisse der Neurowissenschaften und wendet darauf das Mittel der Abstraktion an. Das Ergebnis ist eine hypothetische, aber konsistente Beschreibung des Systems, das sich hinter dem Nervensystem verbergen könnte.Im anderen Teil des Buches werden die Sündenfälle unserer Zeit einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen. In weiten Teilen der Welt herrschen Kriminalität, Gewalt und Korruption vor. Ein erheblicher Teil der technologischen Höchstleistungen wird mit dem Ziel erbracht, grausame Kriegshandlungen begehen zu können. Natürliche Umwelt und Artenvielfalt sind unsere Lebensgrundlage, aber wir zerstören diesen Reichtum sehenden Auges. Wir folgen den Prinzipien des beschleunigten Konsums, des ökonomischen Wachstums und der Vermehrung des Shareholder Value bis ins Verderben. Wir verfügen über leistungsfähige Technologien und Industrien und lassen Menschen verhungern. Auch sonst ist kaum zu leugnen, dass der Mensch mit einer ausgeprägten Neigung zu destruktiven Verhaltensweisen ausgestattet ist. Großartige kulturelle Errungenschaften werden jederzeit durch das Desaster konterkariert.Auf die Analyse dieser dunklen Seite der Zivilisation folgt die Suche nach Auswegen. Die Idee eines weitgehend friedlichen, gerechten und systematischen (nachhaltigen) Managements der globalen Kulturgesellschaft mutet angesichts der geopolitischen Realitäten wie eine Utopie an. Dieser resignativen Erkenntnis setzt Eckhard Schindler konkrete Lösungsansätze entgegen. Die Thesen zum System hinter dem Nervensystem dienen dabei als Ausgangspunkt.
