Der zweite Teil der Werke von Anton Hilckman enthalt Arbeiten, die aus kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive die Besonderheit der europaischen Kultur in der westlichen Welt im Allgemeinen erfassen. Es sind kulturgeschichtliche Studien, die das Wesen des Abendlandes im Vergleich mit anderen Kulturen und Religionen, wie z. B. mit dem Nestorianismus, dem byzantinischen Christentum im Osten, dem Islam in Nordafrika, dem Buddhismus, dem Hinduismus und dem Konfuzianismus in China, aus dem Christentum zu erklaren suchen. Ausgehend von der Frage nach den Grunden der Verschiedenheit der Kulturen (Sprache, Technik, Religion) steht bei Anton Hilckman die Frage im Mittelpunkt, was das eigentliche Fundament fur die Herausbildung der westlichen Kulturwelt gewesen ist. Von entscheidender Bedeutung fur die Herausbildung des Unterschieds zwischen Okzident und Orient halt er das Verhaltnis von Kultur und Religion.

Cover of Heuristics of Technosciences
Confronted with the accelerated development of science and technology the presented analyses are focusing on three predominant theoretical approaches in the philosophy of science and technology: technoscience (STS), technology assessment (TA) and converging technologies (NBIC). On this base are extrapolated the coordinates of the heuristics of technosciences which are recognized as the platform of understanding but also dealing with technoscientific innovations. This concerns especially nanotechnology and the emerging theoretical, methodological, ethical, socio-political controversies and dilemmas. In this manner the book epitomizes the elaborated to date approaches and designs the heuristic turn as the strategy of comprehensive understanding of technosciences.
