Philosophie klaert philosophische Probleme. Die Selbstreferentialitaet des Philosophierens, ein zentrales Motiv in Wittgensteins "Tractatus logico-philosophicus", wird paradox im Moment der Anwendung der philosophischen Klaerungsunterscheidungen auf sich selbst. Der vorliegende Aufsatz deutet Wittgensteins Begriff des "Zeigens" als Versuch einer Auf-Loesung der philosophischen Paradoxie (zu sagen, was man nicht sagen kann) , und setzt ihn mit der systemtheoretischen Behandlung dieses Problems in Beziehung
Eine kurze Bemerkung über den Widerspruch
Was hat die Logik einem System, welches die Moeglichkeiten von Sinn reduzieren muss, anzubieten im Unterschied zu anderen Komplexitaets-Reduktionen? Ein gangbarer Vorschlag koennte lauten: Das spezifische Angebot der Logik ist die Moeglichkeit, ordentlich zu widersprechen
Black Box Beetle: Ãœber Privatheit und Intransparenz
Wittgenstein has criticized the philosophical concept of "Privatheit" in his Philosophical Investigations from the perspective of the philosophy of language. In Luhmann"s systems theory "intransparency", that is, the problem that one has no access to the mind of someone else, seems to be analogous to "Privatheit". Do the epistemological problems (of solipsim and semantical scepticism) implicated by the privatist concept therefore return in systems theory? In my opinion, Luhmann addressed these problems by introducing the notion of "double contingency" in the communication. On the basis of a systematic comparison between the two terms "Privatheit" and "intransparency", I argue that the model of "double contingency" is not necessarily bound to the concept of "Privatheit". The systems-theoretical construction of double contingency even provides a way to formulate Wittgenstein"s argumentation against privatist scepticism without reference to the postulation of an integrative function of ordinary language
Schein-Design
Designer sollen Konsens und Differenz zugleich begünstigen: Design soll ‚gefallen" – und trotzdem oder gerade deshalb ‚auffallen". Das geht eigentlich nicht, aber das macht nichts. Man könnte sagen, Designer sind Meister des double bind. Sie suchen die ‚Gute Form", aber keiner darf sie finden. Insofern müssen Designer nicht nur Problematisieren, Nahelegen und Entwerfen, sondern auch Ausblenden, dass es die ‚Beste Form" nie geben wird
Muss irgendjemand irgendetwas notwendigerweise wollen, damit sein Tun ein Kommunikationsversuch sein kann? Systemtheoretische Anmerkungen zu Georg Meggles ,,Reflexivitäts-Bedingung"
In seinem Aufsatz Regeltheoretische contra Intentionalistische Semantik? teilt Georg Meggle mit, was für ihn den ,,Kernpunkt" seines intentionalistischen Kommunikations-Verständnisses ausmacht. ,, (RB) Kommunikatives Handeln zielt wesentlich darauf ab, verstanden zu werden." Verstanden zu werden ist, so Meggle, eines jener Ziele, ,,die jemand notwendigerweise haben muss, damit sein Tun ein Kommunikationsversuch sein kann". Im Folgenden möchte ich kurz darlegen, inwiefern diese kommunikative ,,Reflexivitäts-Bedingung" (Meggle) systemtheoretischer Sicht problematisch erscheint
Sagen, Zeigen, Beobachten. Eine philosophisch-systemtheoretische Betrachtung

Toward a Process Theory of Making Sustainability Strategies Legitimate in Action
We draw on a three-year qualitative study of the processual dynamics of implementing a sustainability strategy alongside an existing mainstream competitive strategy. We show that despite the legitimacy of the sustainability strategy at the organizational level, actors experience tensions with its implementation at the action level vis-Ã -vis the mainstream strategy, thus creating the potential for decoupling. Our findings show that working through these tensions on specific tasks, enables actors to legitimate the sustainability strategy in action and to co-enact it with the mainstream strategy within those tasks. Cumulatively, multiple instances of such co-enactment at the action level reinforce the organizational-level legitimacy of the sustainability strategy and its integration with the mainstream strategy. We draw these findings together into a dynamic process model that contributes to the literature on integration of dual strategies at the action and organizational levels as a process of legitimacy making
Language, Metaphor, and Strategy of Composition in Ulrich Plenzdorf\u27s Novel \u3cem\u3eDie neuen Leiden des jungen W.\u3c/em\u3e
The publication of Ulrich Plenzdorf\u27s novel Die neuen Leiden des jungen W. in 1973 has triggered considerable discussion and some official frowns in the GDR. Perhaps in anticipation of some form of censorship, Plenzdorf does not convey his critical impulses in a frontal attack in this novel. Instead, in his strategy of composition he predominantly uses indirect means. Subtle but effective literary devices-language, rhythm, metaphors, motifs-constitute an intricately interconnected perceptual network. And where his approach is direct and his critique formulated in conceptual language, he cunningly interposes the classical, officially approved literary genius Goethe. This strategy of presentation effectively circumvents censorship and yet delivers a penetrating critique of the socio-political situation in the GOR. In this article I propose to examine Plenzdorf\u27s strategy of composition as revealed in language and metaphor as well as in some aspects of structure and of perspective
Effects of relative team size on teams with innovative tasks: An understaffing theory perspective
A large body of research accumulated on the consequences that absolute team size (i.e., team headcount) entails for the performance of teams working on innovative tasks. However, there is a dearth of research on team size in relation to a team's assignments and objectives (i.e., relative team size). How this relative teamsize might influence innovation teams is therefore poorly understood. To stimulate theorizing on relative team size, we derive propositions from understaffing theory on how varying levels of relative team size affect teams with innovative tasks. We provide a more fine-grained analysis by differentiating between different dimensions of these teams' performance (i.e., team creativity, output quality, and team efficiency) and develop an input-mediator-output model. Implications of our theoretical considerations and avenues for future research are discussed
