This book series features contemporary theories: the texts are written by philosophers and thinkers who see themselves emphatically in the sphere between philosophical debate and those urgently acute questions as posed in today’s wider debate.
At its most basic, philosophy is about learning how to think about the world around us. It should come as no surprise, then, that children make excellent philosophers! Naturally inquisitive, pint-size scholars need little prompting before being willing to consider life’s “big questions,” however strange or impractical. Plato & Co. introduces children—and curious grown-ups—to the lives and work of famous philosophers, from Descartes to Socrates, Einstein, Marx, and Wittgenstein. Each book in the series features an engaging—and often funny—story that presents basic tenets of philosophical thought alongside vibrant color illustrations.
Plato & Co.’s clear approach and charming illustrations make this series the perfect addition to any little library.
This series introduces the most influential western settings of the history of knowledge from the epistemological perspective of the history of media and culture.

The quadro edition is predominantly concerned with questions of art theory and visual studies. It serves as an interdisciplinary forum of art history and visual studies on the one hand, and the literary-poetic sphere and contemporary aesthetics on the other.
Television series are nowadays worlds apart from the ordinary »television« experience with respect to both medial and aesthetic quality. They are about to outstrip the movie industry: as the subject of conversation, as a record of contemporary issues of relevance, as time base, and as a significant part of pop culture.
This book series subsequently offers the one piece missing in a DVD box: the literary backup to the series.
This book series looks at the way we interpret images, artefacts and architecture and how this interpretation affects ›reality‹ due to the correlation between visual, linguistic and performative aspects. The focus is on those historic concepts that illustrate the tension and ambivalence between the different aspects.
