  1. Das Vorurteil Im Leibe: Eine Einführung in Die Physiognomik.Claudia Schmölders - 2007 - De Gruyter.
    Seit Anfang der achtziger Jahre lasst sich eine Renaissance physiognomischer Fragestellungen beobachten: in Kunst-, Literatur-, Sozial- und Neurowissenschaften. Nicht wenige Autoren mochten dabei an die prekaren Ubergange der Physiognomik in spekulative und rassistische Theoreme warnend erinnern. Besonders die deutschen Autoren der Weimarer Zeit - Ludwig Klages, Rudolf Kassner, Max Picard, Oswald Spengler und viele andere - haben beim gebildeten Publikum damals ein physiognomisches Vorbewusstsein kultiviert, das geradezu als Weiche zwischen Biologie und Phanomenologie, Religion und "gesundem Volksempfinden" fungiert hat. Vor einer (...)

  • Boundary-Work and the Demarcation of Science from Non-science: Strains and Interests in Professional Ideologies of Scientists.Thomas F. Gieryn - 1983 - American Sociological Review 48 (6):781-795.
    The demarcation of science from other intellectual activities-long an analytic problem for philosophers and sociologists-is here examined as a practical problem for scientists. Construction of a boundary between science and varieties of non-science is useful for scientists' pursuit of professional goals: acquisition of intellectual authority and career opportunities; denial of these resources to "pseudoscientists"; and protection of the autonomy of scientific research from political interference. "Boundary-work" describes an ideological style found in scientists' attempts to create a public image for science (...)

  • The authority of human nature: the Schädellehre of Franz Joseph Gall.John van Wyhe - 2002 - British Journal for the History of Science 35 (1):17-42.
    This essay is the first account in English to examine Franz Joseph Gall and the origins of phrenology. In doing so a host of legends about Gall and the beginnings of phrenology, which exist only in the English-language historiography, are dispelled. An understanding of the context of phrenology's origins is essential to the historicization of the movement as a whole. The first of two sections in the essay, therefore, introduces Gall's biography and the context in which his provocative science emerged. (...)

  • The Making and Molding of Child Abuse.Ian Hacking - 1991 - Critical Inquiry 17 (2):253-288.
    Some evil actions are public. Maybe genocide is the most awful. Other evil actions are private, a matter of one person harming another or of self-inflicted injury. Child abuse, in our current reckoning, is the worst of private evils. We want to put a stop to it. We know we can’t do that, not entirely. Human wickedness won’t go away. But we must protect as many children as we can. We want also to discover and help those who have already (...)

  • The philosophy of life and death: Ludwig Klages and the rise of a Nazi biopolitics.Nitzan Lebovic - 2013 - New York: Palgrave-Macmillan.
    Some of the first figures the Nazis conscripted in their rise to power were rhetoricians devoted to popularizing the German vocabulary of Leben (life). This fascinating study reexamines this movement through one of its most prominent exponents, Ludwig Klages, revealing the philosophical-cultural crises and political volatility of the Weimar era.
