Hiyya bar Ashi tells of a sage who waged a battle with his Urge after he refrained from engaging in sexual relations with his wife. He, however, did not reveal to her the battle being waged within him, but rather pretended to be an 'angel'. When his wife incidentally found it, she disguised herself as a harlot and set out to seduce him. After they had engaged in sexual relations, the rabbi wanted to commit suicide. The traditional readings view R. Hiyya as the hero of the tale. This article claims that the aim of the narrative is to present the rabbi as being carried away by dualistic-Christian conceptions. The article further argues that the topic of the narrative is not sexual relations, but dialogue.}, language = {en} } @article{MastFalomirWolter2016, author = {Mast, Vivien and Falomir, Zoe and Wolter, Diedrich}, title = {Probabilistic reference and grounding with PRAGR for dialogues with robots}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\~A}¼r p{\~A}\idagogische Psychologie.}, volume = {28}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\~A}¼r p{\~A}\idagogische Psychologie.}, publisher = {Hogrefe}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {0952-813X}, doi = {10.1080/0952813X.2016.1154611}, pages = {889 -- 911}, year = {2016}, abstract = {In this paper, we present a system for effective referential human-robot communication in the face of perceptual deviation using the Probabilistic Reference And GRounding mechanism PRAGR and vague feature models based on prototypes. PRAGR can handle descriptions of arbitrary complexity including spatial relations and uses flexible concept assignment in generation and resolution of referring expressions for bridging conceptual gaps in referential robot-robot or human-robot interaction. We evaluate the benefit of using vague as compared to crisp properties regarding referential success and robustness towards perspective alignment error in referential robot-robot and human-robot communication.}, language = {en} } @article{Pinkas2023, author = {Pinkas, Ronen}, title = {On prayer and dialectic in modern Jewish philosophy}, series = {Religions}, volume = {14}, journal = {Religions}, number = {8}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2077-1444}, doi = {10.3390/rel14080996}, pages = {1 -- 28}, year = {2023}, abstract = {This paper is founded on two philosophical assumptions. The first is that there is a difference between two patterns of recognition: the dialectical and the dialogical. The second assumption is that the origins of the dialogical pattern may be found in the relationship between human beings and God, a relationship in which prayer has a major role. The second assumption leads to the supposition that the emphasis of the dialogic approach on moral responsibility is theologically grounded. In other words, the relationship between humanity and God serves as a paradigm for human relationships. By focusing on Hermann Cohen and Franz Rosenzweig, in the context of prayer and dialectic, this paper highlights the complexity of these themes in modern Jewish thought. These two important philosophers utilize dialectical reasoning while also criticizing it and offering an alternative. The conclusions of their thought, in general, and their position on prayer, in particular, demonstrate a preference for a relational way of thinking over a dialectical one, but without renouncing the latter.}, language = {en} } @article{Stockhorst2021, author = {Stockhorst, Stefanie}, title = {Hippologischer Fachdiskurs und dialogische Fiktion}, series = {Daphnis : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r deutsche Literatur und Kultur der fr{\"u}hen Neuzeit (1400-1750)}, volume = {49}, journal = {Daphnis : Zeitschrift f{\"u}r deutsche Literatur und Kultur der fr{\"u}hen Neuzeit (1400-1750)}, number = {3}, publisher = {Brill Rodopi}, address = {Leiden}, isbn = {0300-693X}, issn = {1879-6583}, doi = {10.1163/18796583-12340025}, pages = {416 -- 443}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This contribution analyses the textual strategies in Danup's literary dialogue, which is enriched in many ways with literary topoi and rhetorical devices.
