Unmöglichkeiten

The impossible is the modal companion to everything that is necessary, possible and real and thus it is the boundary concept for everything which appears in everyday life, in the sciences and in religion as reality, possibility or necessity. The objective of the studies presented here is the explicit contemplation of this generally non,topical boundary concept of modal phenomenological constellations. What are possibilities if they cannot be understood as distinct from reality and dissociated from the impossible? The studies in this volume deal with these issues from the perspective of phenomenology and science and the humanities on the one hand and hermeneutics, religion and theology on the other hand.
