In seinem Aufsatz hebt der Verfasser hervor, dass Croces Asthetik weltweit eines der einflussreichsten Kulturphanomene war, was nicht nur fur die erste Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts gilt, sondern ebenso fur spatere Reflexe und Erganzungen in der zweiten Jahrhunderthalfte. Die Crocerezeption in Kroatien in der ersten Halfte unserers Jahrhunderts geht in erster Linie auf Mihovil Kombols ganzlich croceanisch begrundetets Werk "Poviject hrvatske knjizevnosti do preporoda" (Geschichte der kroatischen Literatur bis zur Wiedergeburtsbewegung, 1945) zuruck, ferner auf den eher soziologistischen Zugang zur Literatur (...) von Antun Barac, ist zum uberwiegenden Teil aber Albert Haler als einem der grossten Propagatoren der croceanischen Philosophie zu verdanken.

We live in the anthropocene, the era of global warming. How are Americans responding to this predicament? To answer the question we need a philosophical concept of a collective mood and then empirical support to make it concrete. The result is a collective ground state. It has gone through the stages of confident prosperity, the dissolution of that confidence, the present state of anxious disorientation, and the hopeful prospect of grounded responsibility.

In this paper we describe a framework for the construction of entities that can serve as interpretations of arbitrary contiguous chunks of text. An important part of the paper is devoted to describing stacking cells, or the proposed meanings for bracket-structures.

Hermann Grassmann's Ausdehnungslehre of 1844 and his Lehrbuch der Arithmetik of 1861 are landmark works in mathematics; the former not only developed new mathematical fields but also both contributed to the setting of modern standards of rigor. Their very modernity, however, may obscure features of Grassmann's view of the foundations of mathematics that were not adopted since. Grassmann gave a key role to the learning of mathematics that affected his method of presentation, including his emphasis on making initial assumptions explicit. (...) In order to better understand this less well-known aspect of his work it will help to examine why some commentators have overlooked his theme of unifying logic, pedagogy and foundations, while others have recognised it.
