From Organismic Biology as History and Philosophy to the History and Philosophy of Biology-the Work of Hans-Jörg Rheinberger in the German Context. [PDF]
Ber Wiss, 2022 Abstract In this paper, I ask about the broader context of the history and philosophy of biology in the German‐speaking world as the place in which Hans‐Jörg Rheinberger began his work.

OBJECT‐ORIENTED ONTOLOGY AND THE OTHER OF WE IN ANTHROPOCENTRIC POSTHUMANISM
Zygon®, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 315-339, June 2023., 2023 Abstract The object‐oriented ontology group of philosophies, and certain strands of posthumanism, overlook important ethical and biological differences, which make a difference.

COLLINGWOOD'S WHALE, CHAKRABARTY'S CONUNDRUM, AND BRAUDEL'S BORROWED TIME
History and Theory, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 152-160, March 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT As R. G. Collingwood noted toward the end of his life, the physiologically limited “time‐phase” of human observational capacity cannot but deliver a fundamentally anthropocentric and temporally myopic conception of the world as eventful, destructive, and devoid of larger, perhaps cyclical, regularities.

Meaning or presence? Ways of knowing of the Sámi yoik
American Anthropologist, Volume 124, Issue 4, Page 855-865, December 2022., 2022 Abstract This article approaches an Indigenous singing tradition, the yoik, practiced by the Sámi people in the north of Europe, as a way of knowing the environment through presence rather than meaning.

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 73, Issue 9, Page 1268-1278, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Since information science concerns the transmission of records, it concerns context. The transmission of documents ensures their arrival in new contexts. Documents and their copies are spread across times and places. The amount of labor required to discover and retrieve relevant documents is also formulated by context.

Rule‐free regulation: Exploring regulation ‘without rules’ and apart from ‘deontic categories’
Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 22-36, March 2022., 2022 Abstract Regulation can occur “with (specific) rules/norms” or “without (specific) rules/norms”. Numerous studies have been devoted to the first option. To the point where “regulation” and “rules” have often been seen to coincide in some academic research, and also in everyday ways of thinking.

Aristotle's dream: Evolutionary and neural aspects of aesthetic communication in the arts
PsyCh Journal, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 224-243, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Art in general perception is something that transcends our notion of reality. In view of the earliest findings in Paleolithic sites, their abstract appearance and sometimes ceremonial context increased their status of a secret language. Even the first figurative cave paintings remained in a context of an encoded semantic whole.
