Online Dispute Resolution: Theory and Practice: A Treatise on Technology and Dispute Resolution
No full textOnline mediation is spreading rapidly as a mode of practice. In this chapter, Ebner surveys the development of e-mediation within the wider context of ODR growth. Next, the chapter presents a snapshot of the field's status quo with respect to stakeholders, modes of communication and the technology utilized, Finally, the chapter addresses substantive and process issues in e-mediation: mediation process models, stages and issues; practitioner skills; professional issues; ethics and practitioner standards.|The author identifies current trends in the fields and makes several predictions regarding the field's future development, including the adoption of online mediation by solo practitioners (as opposed to "service provider" firms), the rise of video-conferencing (primarily through low-cost, familiar platforms) and the somewhat counter-intuitive implementation of online mediation in disputes involving strong relational elements, such as divorce, community and workplace issues.357-38
Ebner\u27s Ethical Creatures: Animals and Humanity in the Work of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
No full textThis dissertation situates the work of Austrian author Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach within late nineteenth-century historical and social developments in Europe, especially those having to do with animals, as they are presented in literature of the period more generally. I devote particular attention to the ethical aims of Ebner\u27s animal representation in the context of nineteenth-century German-speaking Europe\u27s understanding of the human-animal relationship.
I investigate Ebner\u27s portrayals of animals and the social goals of employing such representations; questions raised by human-animal comparison and the social criticism undertaken by aligning human and animal characteristics; and literary and ethical implications of human-animal relationships. I analyze the manner in which Ebner portrays human behavior inspired by, influenced by, and directed at animals and the attribution of various degrees of cognition and emotion to animals themselves. Whether imagined by human characters in the texts or communicated to the reader via narrative identification with animal figures to inspire reader sympathy and empathy, Ebner\u27s depictions of animals draw heavily on nineteenth-century developments in attitudes toward the human-animal relationship and the status of nonhuman animals.
To put Ebner\u27s work in dialog with other European writers and demonstrate her participation in a pan-European trend in literary animal depictions, I treat additional novels, novellas, and poetry by writers including Theodor Storm, Theodor Fontane, Paul Heyse, Leo Tolstoy, and Émile Zola, as well as periodicals and activist and scientific writing from Germany, Austria, France, Russia, and England
An Extensible User Interface for Lean 4
No full textContemporary proof assistants rely on complex automation and process libraries with millions of lines of code. At these scales, understanding the emergent interactions between components can be a serious challenge. One way of managing complexity, long established in informal practice, is through varying external representations. For instance, algebraic notation facilitates term-based reasoning whereas geometric diagrams invoke spatial intuition. Objects viewed one way become much simpler than when viewed differently. In contrast, modern general-purpose ITP systems usually only support limited, textual representations. Treating this as a problem of human-computer interaction, we aim to demonstrate that presentations - UI elements that store references to the objects they are displaying - are a fruitful way of thinking about ITP interface design. They allow us to make headway on two fronts - introspection of prover internals and support for diagrammatic reasoning. To this end we have built an extensible user interface for the Lean 4 prover with an associated ProofWidgets 4 library of presentation-based UI components. We demonstrate the system with several examples including type information popups, structured traces, contextual suggestions, a display for algebraic reasoning, and visualizations of red-black trees. Our interface is already part of the core Lean distribution

La verità della parola. La critica di Ebner all’idealismo e alla filosofia in generale
No full textIl saggio esamina l'aspra critica del filosofo austriaco Ebner all'idealismo di Hegel e alla filosofia in generale, che giudica incapaci di comprendere adeguatamente la realtà spirituale. Per comprendere il "pensiero dialogico" dell'autore, si suggerisce prima un'analogia tra Ebner e il saltimbanco Jof del film "Il settimo sigillo" di Bergman, poi si propone un parallelismo tra il pensiero di Ebner e quello di Hamann, che in modo simile rifletteva sui limiti della ragione e sulla parola che non è riducibile a concetto, in particolare nel caso della dimensione dello Spirituale e della fede. Si cerca infine di trarre un bilancio che tenga insieme l'esigenza della razionalità e l'inesauribilità della fede senza contrapporle radicalmente.The paper examines the fierce criticism of the Austrian philosopher Ebner to the idealism of Hegel and to philosophy more generally, which he deems unable to account for the spiritual dimension. In order to understand the "dialogic thought" of the author, this paper first proposes an analogy between Ebner and the acrobat player Jof of the movie "The Seventh Seal" by Ingmar Bergman. The paper then carries out a comparison between the thought of Ebner and that of Hamann, who also reflected on the limits of reason and of the word as something that cannot be simply defined as concept, particularly in the case of the dimensions of Spirituality and faith. In the conclusion, the paper examines the actual possibility of finding a balance between the need for rationalism and the infiniteness of faith
Self-actualization in representative works of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
No full textThis thesis presents a new evaluation of Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach\u27s figure conception by examining the theme of self-actualization in representative works of the author. The theme is defined first according to its psychological and social properties, and second, according to its established tradition in Western literature. Employing selected works of Ebner-Eschenbach in which the theme appears prominently, the figure conception proves to be a key indicator of the author\u27s highly critical world view. A large percentage of figures are engaged in a process of development. Few realize the goal of self-perfection. The traits inherited by birth and the pressure exerted upon the individual from the family and society prohibit a broad range of individuals, from the peasant to the aristocrat, from achieving the desired balance between personal needs and outside expectations. While the author expresses optimism that every individual possesses great potential, she clearly emphasizes the danger posed to this innate ability by social forces beyond individual control. The narratives confirm that unless dominant forces are kept in check, the welfare and further existence of mankind, especially of women and children, is in danger. The analysis of the author\u27s subtle yet powerful social commentary is a neglected aspect of her works and one which should be considered in the future
Gabriel Marcel e la "jeunesse"
No full textGabriel Marcel osserva la jeunesse, propria e degli altri. Lo fa in testi autobiografici, in saggi d’occasione, nelle opere maggiori nel teatro. La tonalità educativa cova sempre sotto le ceneri, e si pone non solo come applicazione rilevante, ma ancor più tra le sorgenti stesse di un mondo in frantumi nel rapporto con gli altri. Educare rivela un senso alternativo dell’essere, non dato una volta per tutte con il puro fatto di esserci, di essere nati. Per l’educare, l’essere è «in prospettiva», «in crescita»: è un altro che sbugiarda l’«idolatria dell’ego», di un «Io non Tu: me prima di te». Oltre l’essere, oltre l’Io, oltre lo stesso. Pedagogia. Dimensione dell’essere pronta a scattare fuori dall’essere. Filosofia. Metodo contro ogni sistema, ogni astrazione. Sempre incarnati, in situazione. Buber, Lévinas, Ebner, altri ancora, sarebbero d’accordo. Koiné dialogica. Koiné educativa
Motifs slaves dans les lettres autrichiennes du XIXe siècle: tentative de compréhension et de synthèse dans le cas de Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
No full textMarie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916) was born and grew up in Moravia. Despite the fact that her very first language was Czech, all her literary work was written in German ; despite of her Czech origins from her fatherside, all the references to be found in her work concerning the social and national development of the Czech society of that time express, if not animosity, at least a total lack of understanding. Everthing happens as if the author just wanted to confirm and uphold the official views of the Austrian Monarchy.
In this article, I’d like to show, mainly on the example of the novel Božena (1876), that a more careful reading which would take into account not only the textual statements of the writer, but as well the composition of the plot and the various behaviors of the Czech and German protagonists, could allow to bring nuances to Ebner-Eschenbach’s position towards the Czech – namely to see that she was perfectly aware and respectful of the cultural diversity and complexity of the Czech lands and that she felt a deep compassion for the claims of the minorities asking for the transformation of the Habsburg Empire into a Federation of free nations
Ferdinand Ebner und der Platz der Dialogphilosophie in dem katholischen Denken des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts
No full textIt seems unusual even in some Catholic circles to speak of the philosophy of dialogue in the Catholic context. Nevertheless, the purpose of this article is to show that the dialogical way of thought not only has a Catholic originator – Ferdinand Ebner – but also a fixed place in the heart of Catholic thinking. We identify dialogical thinking here neither as an affiliation to a specific group of thinkers, nor as directly discussing the subject of dialogue/communication, but rather whether such thought conforms to the dialogical principle. We present this principle on the basis of the „fundamental thought” found in Ebner’s, The Word and the Spiritual Realities and we explain it further on the basis of his „word” concept. However, the rudiments of dialogical thinking can be found even before the „dialogical turn”. Plato and Augustine are the earliest, classical examples, and we present as its later forerunners Hamann, Baader, Humboldt, Feuerbach and Kierkegaard. As an illustration of the mysterious impact of the dialogical principle on Catholic thought we mention a few such authors who make direct reference to Ebner: Romano Guardini, Gabriel Marcel (together with Emmanuel Mounier), and the theologians Karl Rahner and Hans Urs von Balthasar. The main concern is not to look for Ebner’s impact on these thinkers, but to see the presence of the dialogical principle in their writings. Furthermore, we try to show the influence of the dialogical principle on the documents of Vatican II (especially Dei Verbum). This will demonstrate that indeed there is a significant correspondence between „Catholic” thinking and „dialogical” thinking.It seems unusual even in some Catholic circles to speak of the philosophy of dialogue in the Catholic context.

Ferdinand Ebner i miejsce filozofii dialogu w myśli katolickiej XX wieku
No full textAuch wenn es im ersten Moment etwas ungewöhnlich erscheinen mag, von einer katholischen Dialogphilosophie zu sprechen, ist das Ziel dieses Artikels zu zeigen, dass das dialogische Denken nicht nur einen katholischen (Mit-) Begründer - Ferdinand Ebner -, sondern auch einen festen, zentralen Platz innerhalb des katholischen Denkens hat. Als Kriterium, nach dem das dialogische Denken gesucht wird, wird hier weder die Zugehörigkeit zu einer Gruppe, noch das Thematisieren der Dialog/Kommunikation-Problematik angenommen, sondern das Denken nach dem dialogischen Prinzip. Dieses Prinzip wird hier anhand des „Grundgedankens” aus Ebners „Pneumatologischen Fragmenten” dargestellt und an seinem Konzept des Wortes weiter verdeutlicht. Doch bereits vor der „Dialogischen Wende“ lassen sich Ansätze des dialogischen Denkens in der Philosophie entdecken. Als Beispiele werden hier unter den Klassikern Platon und Augustinus genannt und als nähere Wegbereiter des Ebner’schen Denkens Hamann, Baader, Humboldt und Feuerbach sowie Kierkegaard angesprochen. Als Illustration der Wirkung dieses Prinzips in dem katholischen Denken werden hier nur solche Denker erwähnt, bei denen wir einen direkten Bezug zu Ebner finden: Romano Guardini, Gabriel Marcel (mit seinem Einfluss auf Emmanuel Mounier), sowie die Theologen Karl Rahner und Hans Urs von Balthasar. Das Hauptanliegen ist dabei nicht die Frage nach dem Einfluss Ebners, sondern die nach der Gegenwart des dialogischen Prinzips in ihrem Denken. Weiterhin wird der Einfluss des dialogischen Prinzips in den Dokumenten des Vaticanum II anhand der Konstitution „Dei Verbum“ aufgezeigt. So lässt es sich nachweisen, dass zwischen dem dialogischen und dem „katholischen“ Denken in der Tat eine tiefe Symbiose besteht.Auch wenn es im ersten Moment etwas ungewöhnlich erscheinen mag, von einer katholischen Dialogphilosophie zu sprechen, ist das Ziel dieses Artikels zu zeigen, dass das dialogische Denken nicht nur einen katholischen (Mit-) Begründer - Ferdinand Ebner -, sondern auch einen festen, zentralen Platz innerhalb des katholischen Denkens hat.
