      Three concepts of high temperature superconductor cables carrying kA currents (RACC, CORC and TSTC) are investigated, optimized and evaluated in the scope of their applicability as conductor in fusion magnets. The magnetic field and temperature dependence of the cables is measured; the thermal expansion and conductivity of structure, insulation and filling materials are investigated. High temperature superconductor winding packs for fusion magnets are calculated and compared with corresponding low temperature superconductor cases.

      Robert Brandoms expressive Vernunft

      Historische und systematische Untersuchungen

      • 378 pages
      • 14 hours of reading

      Robert Brandoms Making it Explicit: Reasoning, Representing and Discursive Commitment ist eines der herausragenden und meist diskutierten philosophischen Werke der letzten Jahre. In diesem Werk entwickelt Brandom eine umfassende Theorie begrifflicher Gehalte, die er zugleich in philosophiehistorische Traditionslinien einordnet. Der vorliegende Band versammelt sowohl systematische Untersuchungen zu Brandoms Theorie als auch Bewertungen von Brandoms philosophiehistorischen Thesen durch ausgewiesene Kenner von Brandoms Philosophie. Als Einleitung des Bandes dient Brandoms Aufsatz 'Kantian Lessons about Mind, Meaning, and Rationality', der hier erstmalig in deutscher Fassung vorliegt. Neben zwei Texten, die sich als direkte Kommentare zu diesem Aufsatz verstehen, thematisieren die Autoren in historischer Perspektive vor allem das Verhältnis von Brandom zu Kant und Hegel. In systematischer Perspektive werden mit dem Expressivismus, der Theorie der begrifflichen Normen, dem Inferentialismus und der Objektivität begrifflicher Gehalte alle zentralen Stützpfeiler von Brandoms Theorie eingehend diskutiert. In der Gesamtschau liefert dieser Band einen kenntnisreichen und zugleich kritischen Überblick über Brandoms Werk.

      Objectivity and the Language-Dependence of Thought

      A Transcendental Defence of Universal Lingualism

      • 258 pages
      • 10 hours of reading

      Exploring the relationship between thought and language, this work challenges the prevailing view that thought is independent of language. It presents a philosophical argument advocating for the universal dependence of language on thought, drawing on insights from influential philosophers Donald Davidson and Robert Brandom. The book engages with contemporary discussions in psychology and ethology, offering a unique perspective on the cognitive aspects of language and thought.
