Wenige Produktdesigns sind so haltbar wie die von Dieter Rams. Nahezu alles was der einflussreichste Designer des 20. Jahrhunderts entworfen hat, gilt heute als Klassiker. Die überarbeitete Neuauflage von Weniger, aber besser zeigt einmal mehr warum Dieter Rams Designverständnis auch in Zukunft nicht an Aktualität verlieren wird.Die Vorstellungen davon, was gutes Design kann, soll und muss, ändern sich stetig mit technischen Möglichkeiten und kulturellen Entwicklungen. Dieter Rams zehn Thesen zum Design befürworten puristisches, beinahe unmerkliches Design und gelten deshalb in Lehre und Praxis als zeitlose Grundüberlegungen: Gutes Design ist innovativ. Gutes Design macht ein Produkt verständlich. Gutes Design ist ästhetisch. Gutes Design macht ein Produkt brauchbar. Gutes Design ist unaufdringlich. Gutes Design ist ehrlich. Gutes Design ist langlebig. Gutes Design ist konsequent bis ins letzte Detail. Gutes Design ist umweltfreundlich. Gutes Design ist so wenig Design wie möglich.Weniger, aber besser hat nicht den Anspruch, eine lückenlose Rams-Werkschau zu sein oder die vollständige Firmengeschichte von Braun zu erzählen. Vielmehr zeigt dieses Buch, welche Ideen, Kriterien und Methoden hinter den großen Produktdesigns von Dieter Rams stehen und wie sich anhand einer sich wandelnden Produktkultur universale Designmaßstäbe ableiten lassen. Aus Dieter Rams Überlegungen zu Ethik und Werten im Design lassen sich klare Strukturen für zukünftiges Gestalten ableiten. Denn eins hat sich über viele Jahre bewiesen: weniger ist einfach besser.

A compilation of esoteric musings, Kandinsky: Incarnating Beauty explores Alexandre Kojève’s philosophical approach to the relationship between art and beauty.A teacher to Jacques Lacan, André Breton, and Albert Camus, Kojève defined art as the act of extracting the beautiful from objective reality. His poetic text, “The Concrete Paintings of Kandinsky,” endorses nonrepresentational art as uniquely manifesting beauty. Taking the paintings of his renowned uncle, Wassily Kandinsky, as his inspiration, Kojève suggests that in creating (rather than replicating) beauty, the paintings are themselves complete universes as concrete as the natural world. Kojève’s text considers the utility and necessity of beauty in life, and ultimately poses the involuted question: What is beauty? Including personal letters between Kandinsky and his nephew, this book further elaborates the unique relationship between artist and philosopher. An introduction by Boris Groys contextualizes Kojève’s life and writings.

"With tremendous generosity and vision, The Greeks and the Rational reaches out to game theory and serves as a model of scholarship that allows us to recognize each other, across disciplines and centuries. Once in a while we need a book like this to remind us how our urge to understand and theorize society is a deep and fundamental one shared across time."--Michael Chwe, Professor of Political Science, University of California, Los Angeles "Subtle and compelling in its argumentation, astonishing in its range, and ambitious in its aims, The Greeks and the Rational will be essential reading for Greek intellectual historians, students of ancient philosophy, and modern political theorists alike."--Emily Mackil, Professor of History, University of California, Berkeley "A rigorous, passionate book. Ober uses game theory to produce powerful new readings of major authors such as Plato and Herodotus. The payoff is inspiring for classicists, social scientists, and citizens who want to make just societies out of self-interested decision-makers."--John Ma, Professor of Classics, Columbia University "With grace, depth, and sophistication, Ober offers profound and sophisticated insight into the enduring philosophical question of the relationship between instrumental rationality and eudaimonia, or the flourishing of all."--Margaret Levi, Sara Miller McCune Director of the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University

This is the first collection to offer comprehensive scrutiny of the theories associated with new materialisms, including but not limited to: speculative realism, new materialism, object-oriented ontology and actor-network theory. One of the most influential trends in the humanities and social sciences in the last decades, new materialisms embody a critique of modernity and a pledge to regain immediate reality by focusing on the materiality of the world - human and nonhuman - rather than a post-structuralist focus upon texts. Collating its varied criticism in one go-to collection, the editors here uncover and examine the theoretical and practical problems connected with discarding modernity and the human subject from a number of interdisciplinary angles: from ontology and phenomenology to political theory, mythology and ecology. With contributions from international scholars, including Markus Gabriel, Andrew Cole, and Dipesh Chakrabarty, the essays here challenge the ability of this trend to provide solutions to current international crises, whilst also calling into question what the desire for such theories can tell us about the global situation today.
