Bayesian modelling of the latent human influence field in archaeological urban sediments at Koh Ker, Cambodia
Reconstructing the spatiotemporal trajectories of massive ancient cities remains difficult because archaeological excavation offers temporal depth but limited spatial coverage, while lidar and other survey methods map urban form without chronological depth. Moreover, ancient urban dynamics were multidimensional and indicated by many different variables. Integrating archaeological and environmental proxies indicative of these variables into a sing…
Making it Implicit« – Habitueller Universalismus als Voraussetzung deliberativer Demokratie
Zur Krise der rechtsstaatlich moderierten deliberativen Demokratie gehört der Niedergang ihrer normativen Ressourcen. Eine demokratietheoretische Spezifizierung der Theorie multipler Differenzierung rekonstruiert die Voraussetzungen eines demokratischen Austausches zwischen differenzierten normativen Ordnungen der Gesellschaft auf der Grundlage der Unterscheidung zwischen Aggregatzuständen normativer Koordination. »Making it implicit« deutet dara…
Tropical deforestation and Indigenous resistance over the longue durée in South America
The destruction of tropical forests is an environmental issue of global significance. This process has deep historical roots, with recent scholarship exploring the role of European colonisation and capitalist expansion in driving tropical deforestation from the sixteenth century onwards. Less attention, however, has been given to how Indigenous resistance has impeded deforestation over this time period. Here we analyse how non-state Indigenous gr…

Uncovering the Multibiome Environmental and Earth System Legacies of Past Human Societies
It has been argued that we have now entered the Anthropocene, a proposed epoch in which humans are having a dominant impact on the Earth system. While some geologists have sought to formalize the Anthropocene as beginning in the mid-twentieth century, its social, geophysical, and environmental roots undoubtedly lie deeper in the past. In this review, we highlight the ways in which human activities across the major biomes of our planet significant…
Versprengte Debatten, vertagte Inklusion
Digitalisierung und Pluralisierung öffentlicher Kommunikation werden als eine Art neuer »Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit« betrachtet. Die Techniken ermöglichen, die Ökonomie motiviert und fragmentierte performative Kulturen des Umgangs mit Dissens ratifizieren eine faktische Pluralisierung der Debatten, der Debattenräume und der Debattenkulturen. Diese strukturell bedingte Vervielfältigung affiziert das Prinzip der öffentlichen Verständigung üb…
Evidence and experiment
Together with research teams from around the world, the Anthropocene Working Group (AWG) has been meticulously quantifying and scrutinizing the global stratigraphic imprint of human activities, the results of which are gathered in this thematic collection of papers in The Anthropocene Review. How can such empirical research, which so impressively articulates the end of a relatively stable Earth System in the mid-20th century, inform our ways of u…

From the History of Science to Geoanthropology
To understand the dynamics and trajectories of the Anthropocene, the single most crucial parameter of investigation is time—specifically, the interconnections and friction between multiple timescales and temporal processes. This essay outlines a possible role for the history of science in understanding the Anthropocene. The notion of the "Anthropocene" entails different historical horizons being banded together—in particular, longue durée transfo…
Covid-19 heralds a new epistemology of science for the public good
Introduction
Is it possible to trace ongoing transitions in the Earth system back to the regional scales at which they are produced and where their effects can be directly experienced? This editorial introduces two special issues of The Anthropocene Review that document a two-year, transdisciplinary experiment: a collaborative investigation of the Mississippi River Basin (MRB) as a model region for studying the Anthropocene condition in situ. Coordinated by t…

The Evolution of Knowledge
The paper argues that humanity has entered a new stage of evolution: epistemic evolution. Just as cultural evolution emerged against the background of biological evolution, epistemic evolution began as an aspect of cultural evolution and now dominates the global fate of humanity. It is characterized by the increasing dependence of global society on the achievements and further extension of science and technology in order to ensure its sustainabil…

Selbstentfaltung - Das Formen der Person und die Ausdifferenzierung des Subjektiven
Die Person (als Name für Zerstreutes im Umfeld des Subjektproblems) wird sozial zur Entfaltung bestimmt: Sie wird geformt (sozialisiert, diszipliniert, subjektiviert) - und muss sich zudem, parallel oder widerständig zur Formung, »selbst« entfalten, eigensteuern, individuieren, authentifizieren. Joachim Renns Studien zeigen: »Selbstentfaltung« als »Ausdifferenzierung« kann die Grundfigur einer pragmatistischen Soziologie des »Subjektiven« in der …

Computational Perspectives in the History of Science
Computational methods and perspectives can transform the history of science by enabling the pursuit of novel types of questions, dramatically expanding the scale of analysis (geographically and temporally), and offering novel forms of publication that greatly enhance access and transparency. This essay presents a brief summary of a computational research system for the history of science, discussing its implications for research, education, and p…
Introduction
The Reinvention of General Relativity
The history of the theory of general relativity presents unique features. After its discovery, the theory was immediately confirmed and rapidly changed established notions of space and time. The further implications of general relativity, however, remained largely unexplored until the mid 1950s, when it came into focus as a physical theory and gradually returned to the mainstream of physics. This essay presents a historiographical framework for a…

Performative Kultur und multiple Differenzierung
Wie kann der große Abstand zwischen den kultursoziologisch dichten Beschreibungen situierter Praktiken und den gesellschaftstheoretischen Makroperspektiven überbrückt werden? In Einzelanalysen und Stichproben zeigt Joachim Renn, wie dies auf der Grundlage einer pragmatistischen Gesellschaftstheorie gelingt. Der Band versammelt theoretische Überlegungen und historische Fallanalysen einer Soziologie der multipel differenzierten Gegenwartsgesellscha…
The Relativity Revolution from the Perspective of Historical Epistemology
This essay analyzes Einstein's relativity revolution as part of a long-term development of knowledge in which the knowledge system of classical physics was reorganized in a process of reflection, described here as a "Copernican process." This process led in 1905 to the introduction of fundamentally new concepts of space, time, matter, and radiation. On the basis of an extensive historical reconstruction, the heuristics of Einstein's creation of t…

we present a number of findings concerning galileo's major discoveries which question both the methods and the results of dating his achievements by common historiographic criteria. the dating of galileo's discoveries is, however, not our primary concern. this paper is intended to contribute to a critical reexamination of the notion of discovery from the point of view of historical epistemology. we claim that the puzzling course of galileo's disc…

Einstein as a Disciple of Galileo A Comparative Study of Concept Development in Physics
The ArgumentIn this paper I present and argue for a model of conceptual development in science and apply it to the transition from classical to modern physics associated with Einstein. The model claims a continuous and rational transition between incompatible subsequent conceptual systems in mathematical science and explains its mechanism. The model was developed in a study of the transition from preclassical to classical mechanics. I argue for a…

Von der klassischen Trägheit zur dynamischen Raumzeit
The paper analyzes Einstein's path to the General Relativity in the context of its historical alternatives. The main alternatives were constituted by an exclusively field theoretical approach to gravitation and a generalization of mechanics following suggestions by Ernst Mach. It is shown that Einstein succeeded in avoiding the pitfalls of both approaches by suitably combining them. The characteristics and the success of his path to General Relat…
Explikation und Transformation — Die Anwendung soziologischen Wissens als pragmatisches Übersetzungsproblem
Daß grau alle Theorie, farbig allein die Praxis sei, scheint sich in der gegenwärtigen Diskussion um die Praxisrelevanz der Sozialwissenschaften auf eigene Art zu bestätigen.1 Denn zum einen fordert eine steigende Nachfrage die Soziologie auf, ihr erheblich ausdifferenziertes Wissen über praktische Kontexte in diese nutzbringend zurückzutrans-portieren (Bosch, in diesem Band); zum anderen richtet sich diese Nachfrage an Effizienz- und Optimierung…

A Forgotten Controversy Introductory Note to the Appendix
more than a century ago three eminent galileo scholars, raffaello caverni, antonio favaro, and emil wohlwill, discussed the emergence of galileo's science of motion and the documentary evidence pertaining to it. among the works of these scholars, only favaro's edizione nazionale of galileo's works is still widely used, while the contents of their other writings only play a minor if any role in the current english-speaking literature. the disappea…
