Creativity plays an important role in all human activities, from the visual arts to cinema and theatre, and in particular in science and mathematics .
This volume, published only in English in the series “Mathematics and Culture”, stresses the strong links between mathematics, culture and creativity in architecture, contemporary art, geometry, computer graphics, literature, theatre and cinema. So this book is designed not only for mathematicians but for all the people who have an interest in the various aspects of culture, both scientific and literary, with a special emphasis on the visual aspects.

Christoph Spehr: Gleicher als andere. Eine Grundlegung der freien Kooperation (2003) [German]
Filed under paper | Tags: · collaboration, democracy
Die Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts hat immer wieder gezeigt, dass Alternativen jenseits des Staatssozialismus, der die politische Form einer Demokratie verwarf, und einer kapitalistisch dominierten Gesellschaft, die sich zunehmend mit Institutionen einer Demokratie verband, kein Bestand hatten. Der “dritte Weg” des demokratischen Sozialismus bleib eine Vision. Soll dies nicht als bloßer Zufall der Geschichte abgetan werden, muß die Frage beantwortet werden, durch welche wirtschaftliche und politische Ordnung soziale Gleichheit verwirklicht werden kann, ohne dabei des Grundprinzip freier demokratiscsher Willensbildung aufzugeben.
