Sommario/riassunto |
|
The ever-present possibility of death forces upon us the question of lifes meaning and for this reason death has been a central concern of philosophers throughout history. From Socrates to Heidegger, philosophers have grappled with the nature and significance of death. In Annihilation, Christopher Belshaw explores two central questions at the heart of philosophys engagement with death: what is death; and is it bad that we die? Belshaw begins by distinguishing between literal and metaphorical uses of the term and offers a unified and biological account of death, denying that death brings about non-existence. How our death relates to the death of the brain is explored in detail. Belshaw considers the common-sense view that death is often bad for us by examining the circumstances that might make it bad as well as the grounds for thinking that one death can be worse than another. In addition, Belshaw explores whether we can be harmed after we die and |

|
|
before we were born. The final chapters explore whether we should prevent more deaths and whether, via cryonics, brain transplants, data storage, we might cheat death. Throughout Belshaw shows how questions of personhood and lifes value are bound up with our views on the sense and significance of death. Annihilations in-depth analysis and insightful exposition will be welcomed not only by philosophers working on the metaphysics of death but also by students and scholars alike looking for a foundation for discussions of the ethics of abortion, euthanasia, life-support and suicide. |

Wettbewerbsumfeld zunehmend an Bedeutung. Dies gilt in besonderem Maße für Handelsunternehmen in vertraglichen Vertriebssystemen, die sowohl mit systemfremden wie auch systeminternen Betrieben konkurrieren. Hohe Aktualität hat diese Problematik für die Vertragshändlersysteme der Automobilbranche. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird in dieser Studie das Verhalten von 345 Automobilhändlern unter Einbeziehung ihrer Unternehmens-, Markt- und Erfolgssituation analysiert. Auf der Grundlage eines konzeptionellen Ansatzes zur Betriebstypenprofilierung werden sechs reale Betriebstypen im Automobilhandel identifiziert und ihre zentralen Profilierungsdimensionen, Einflußfaktoren sowie die daraus resultierenden Erfolgswirkungen untersucht. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
What might interest rate liberalization do to intermediation and the cost of capital in China? China's most binding interest rate control is a ceiling on the deposit rate, although lending rates are also regulated. Through case studies and model-based simulations, we find that liberalization will likely result in higher interest rates, discourage marginal investment, improve the effectiveness of intermediation and monetary transmission, and enhance the financial access of underserved sectors. This can occur without any major disruption. International experience suggests, however, that achieving these benefits without unnecessary instability, requires vigilant supervision, governance, and monetary policy, and a flexible policy toolkit. |
