The original essays collected here under the general title of The Knowledge Society were first commissioned for a conference held in the late fall of 1984 at the Technische Hochschule Darmstadt, West Germany. The conference in Darmstadt saw a larger number of contribu tions presented than could be accommodated in this edition of the Sociol ogy of the Sciences Yearbook. However, all contributions were important and affected those published in this collection. We are therefore grateful to all participants of the Darmstadt conference for their presentations and for their intense, useful as well as thoughtful discussion of all papers. Those chosen for publication in the Yearbook and those undoubtedly to be published elsewhere have all benefitted considerably from our discussions in Darmstadt which also included a number of the members of the edito rial board of the Yearbook. In addition, we are pleased that the authors were able to read and comment further on each other's papers prior to publication. As is the case in every endeavor of this kind, we have incurred many debts and are only able to acknowledge these at this point publicly while expressing our sincere thanks and appreciation for all the intellectual sup port and the considerable labor invested by a number of persons in the realization of the collection.

Dieses Textbuch hilft, die philosophischen Grundlagen der Newtonschen Mechanik zu erarbeiten. Im Zentrum des Bandes steht die Schrift Uber die Gravitation und das Gleichgewicht von Flussigkeiten, in der Newton in standiger Auseinandersetzung mit Descartes' Principien der Philosophie seine Begriffe von Raum, Zeit und Bewegung entwickelt, mit deren Hilfe er dann in den Principia Mathematica seine Mechanik errichtet. Von diesem Text liegt hiermit zum ersten Mal eine deutsche Ubersetzung vor. Der lateinische Text wird reprographisch wiedergegeben. Ausser den notwendigen Texterlauterungen enthalt der Band als Anhang eine Neuubersetzung der Eingangspartien der Principia Mathematica bis einschliesslich der Formulierung der drei Newtonschen Gesetze.

Über die Gravitation--

The first systematic collection and translation into English of Gernot Böhme's key writings on atmosphere.

The Aesthetics of Felt Spaces

Atmospheric Architectures

Interest in sensory atmospheres and architectural and urban ambiances has been growing for over 30 years. A key figure in this field is acclaimed German philosopher Gernot Böhme whose influential conception of what atmospheres are and how they function has been only partially available to the English-speaking public. This translation of key essays along with an original introduction charts the development of Gernot Böhme's philosophy of atmospheres and how it can be applied in various contexts such as scenography, commodity aesthetics, advertising, architecture, design, and art. The phenomenological analysis of atmospheres has proved very fruitful and its most important, and successful, application has been within aesthetics. The material background of this success may be seen in the ubiquitous aestheticization of our lifeworld, or from another perspective, of the staging of everything, every event and performance. The theory of atmospheres becoming an aesthetic theory thus reveals the theatrical, not to say manipulative, character of politics, commerce, of the event-society. But, taken as a positive theory of certain phenomena, it offers new perspectives on architecture, design, and art. It made the spatial and the experience of space and places a central subject and hence rehabilitated the ephemeral in the arts. Taking its numerous impacts in many fields together, it initiated a new humanism: the individual as a living person and his or her perspective are taken seriously, and this fosters the ongoing democratization of culture, in particular the possibility for everybody to participate in art and its works.

The Architecture and Atmosphere seminar was held in June 2014 as part of the centennial celebration of the Tapio Wirkkala - Rut Bryk Foundation. This book, the second volume of the Design Reader series, presents the proceedings of the event with contributions from leading thinkers in architecture and aesthetic theory.
