Cave canem
(2021)
So far, animals in fables have almost exclusively been studied as symbolic representatives of human behaviour. New perspectives are opened up by Human-Animal Studies which focus on the animals themselves and human-animal relationships. Inspired by this approach, this article examines five fables of Graeco-Roman antiquity which are connected by the motif of the vicious dog. On the basis of philological interpretation it is shown to what extent and with which intention the dogs are anthropomorphised and at the same time represented as real animals. Interestingly, the human protagonists usually don´t blame the dogs and draw a clear borderline between animals and humans. It seems that successful communication is possible only within the same species.

Dieser Beitrag erläutert, wie die im Teilprojekt entstandenen Selbstlernangebote (Schreibberatung, Vortragscoaching, Sprachtutorien) über die Laufzeit des Teilprojekts (weiter-)entwickelt wurden und wie Studierende durch die Einführung von neuen, flexibleren Lernformaten (z. B. Einzelberatungen) unterstützt werden. Zudem wird aufgezeigt, wie sich wissenschaftlichen Hilfskräften die Möglichkeit bietet, sich als Schreibberater/ in, Vortragscoach oder Sprachtutor/in weiterzubilden. Somit wird an der Universität Potsdam nicht nur das Selbstlernen, sondern auch Peer Learning gefördert.

Il contributo prende in esame la poetizzazione dell’elemento ›fuoco‹ nell’aldilà dantesco. Nell’Inferno, l’universo metaforico associato al fuoco fa da contrappunto all’interiorizzazione e alla trascendenza che stanno alla base della concezione del fuoco nel Paradiso, dove esso, in senso astratto, viene trasformato in luce e rappresenta anche l’illuminazione spirituale. Dante mette in scena san Tommaso, presentando nelle varie figure il corpus spirituale, che tuttavia nell’Inferno era stato pervertito e caricato di una connotazione quasi parodistica, se confrontato alla solennità sacrale della luce spirituale nel Paradiso. Nella sua qualità di luce, l’elemento ›fuoco‹ diventa la componente più importante delle sfere del Paradiso. L’idea della permanenza di un regno di Dio è simbolicamente veicolata da un uso virtuosistico della gamma metaforica associata alla luce: la visualizzazione del principio supremo del Divino, come esso si costituisce nella dottrina cristiana, è affidata alla forza suggestiva della travolgente poesia.
The current practice in allocating post-mortem organ donations is in many respects ethically problematic. After criticizing this practice, this article explores what a more morally acceptable practice could look like.
The article concludes with an appeal for the random allocation of available donor organs.

The topic of this essay is akrasia in its most paradoxical kind, as it appears to us in the emblem of Medea. The argument starts with the claim that the problem with akrasia is especially a problem of rational potentiality: to understand it philosophically, we are forced to embrace the idea that its possibility is immanent to the rational capacity of action. By discussing elements of Plato's, Aristotle's, and Davidson's explanations of practical irrationality, the argument proceeds to demonstrate that the reasons a practical capacity provides exist as "forces", that rational forces are structurally in excess with respect to their normative statuses, and that Medea is the mythical figure par excellence of such an immanent excess of rational agency. On account of these insights, we can begin to understand that akrasia is not only a kind of failure, or incapacity, but entails the very possibility of a "metamorphosis" of the subject.
Whereas Plato's Protagoras rejects the notion that someone who knows what is good for him can nonetheless do something else of his own free volition, his Republic names the particular conditions under which such an act, an act of weakness of the will, can take place: the conditions of democracy. Because democracy, Plato writes, places an excessive freedom at its centre, it fosters desires, weakening the force of reason, destabilizing the will, and thus engendering an unprincipled human being. This paper defends the democratic conception of freedom against this portrayal by advocating a concept of freedom of the will that does not unilaterally identify it with willpower.
