The thematic anthologies, published as yearbooks, deal with social challenges in the area of conflict between democracy, human dignity and religion. They are intended as a cooperative project to promote dialogue between German and Georgian scholars. In an interdisciplinary exchange, central normative questions are to be discussed in an international perspective, especially in the focus of Practical Philosophy. In this way, the Yearbooks aim to make a contribution to normative and cultural self-understanding in Europe. At the same time, they will also provide a forum for young scholars to put the discussion of social issues on a broad basis.
The new series aims to closely combine ethics and empiricism: It is intended to address concrete ethical questions that are also discussed in the broader public, to examine the empirical results from the relevant empirical sciences on these questions, and to discuss philosophical, theological, legal, etc. issues in a more comprehensive way. Possible topics are: Xenotransplantation, euthanasia and assisted suicide, organ donation, child ethics, animal ethics, etc. Particularly in view of the new developments in molecular biology, questions about the significance of nature for ethical arguments and for bioethical debates are becoming increasingly urgent and relevant, which is also reflected in the work of ethics committees. The study also examines how empirical questions and the work of ethics commissions influence ethical theory formation.
Als ein für das gesamte Werk grundlegendes Prinzip, das Hartmann als Sinnprinzip begründet, erweist sich das Prinzip der Wissbarkeit – dass das Wahre prinzipiell gewusst werden kann. In diesem antirealistischen Prinzip – der „einen Idee“, von der Kant spricht - manifestiert sich der Idealismus in seiner modernen, zeitgemäßen Form.

The time of „philosophical systems“ seems to be definitively over since Kant and Hegel. On this background, the publication of the work „Neues System der philosophischen Wissenschaften im Grundriss“ (New System of Philosophical Sciences in Ground Plan) is a truly spectacular philosophical event: Dirk Hartmann deliberately follows Hegel‘s „Enzyklopädie der philosophischen Wissenschaften im Grundrisse“ of 1817 in the title of his work, in order to make clear the intention and claim of his opus magnum: In contrast to the increased fragmentation and specialization of philosophy in the 20th century, Hartmann focuses on the philosophical treatment of the whole: In seven volumes, he discusses the classical philosophical problems in their interdependent context, not cataloguing them one after the other, but by consistently developing them from one another.
