Starting\nfrom the premise that meaning is a matter of linguistic and other forms of\narticulation, it considers the inherent philosophical consequences.  Part\nI presents Klages’, Derrida’s, Von Hofmannsthal’s and Wittgenstein’s\nexplorations of silence as a source of articulation and meaning.  Debates\nabout 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century psychologism gave the\nattitude concept a pivotal role; it illustrates the importance of the discovery\nthat a word is globally qualified as ‘the basic unit of language’.  This\nis mirrored in the fact that we understand reality as a matter of particles and\nthus interpret the real as a component of an all-embracing ‘particle story’.\n Each chapter of the book focuses on an aspect of legal semiotics related\nto the chapter’s theme: for instance on the meaning of a Judge’s ‘Saying for\nLaw’, on law students training in varying attitudes or on the ties between law\nand language.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003ePart II of the book illustrates our general\nunderstanding of reality as a matter of particles and partitioning, and\nexamines texts that prove that particle thinking is basic for our meaning\nconcept. It shows that physics, quantum theory, holism, and modern brain\nresearch focusing on human linguistic capabilities, confirm their ties to the\nparticle story. In contrast, the book concludes that partitions and particles\nare neither a fact in the history of the cosmos nor a determinant of knowledge\nand the sciences, and that meaning is a process: a constellation rather than a\nfixation.  This is manifest once one understands meaning as the result of\ncontinuously changing attitudes, which create our narratives on cosmos and\ncreation. The book proposes a new key for meaning: a linguistic occurrence\nanchored in dimensions of human narrativity.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-04-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319802893\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-28175-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 287\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47525373444236,"sku":"9783319802893","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319802893.jpg?v=1776024690","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319802893","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
