Von den franzoesischen und deutschen Historikern nur am Rande beachtet, verdient diese Universitat des Reichslandes, die alles andere als eine simple Germanisierungsanstalt war, eine eingehende wissenschaftliche Behandlung. Auf der Basis des Humboldtschen Universitatsgedankens und der kulturpr...

Human societies have not always taken on new technology in appropriate ways. Innovations are double-edged swords that transform relationships among people, as well as between human societies and the natural world. Only through successful cultural appropriation can we manage to control the hubris that is fundamental to the innovative, enterprising human spirit; and only by becoming hybrids, combining the human and the technological, will we be able to make effective use of our scientific and tech...
