      TRIUMPH DES CHAOS: WARUM DONALD TRUMPS WAHLSIEG UNVERMEIDBAR WAR – UND WAS ER FÜR DIE WELT BEDEUTET bietet einen fesselnden Einblick in Donald Trumps zweite Präsidentschaft, die als eines der größten politischen Comebacks gilt. Journalist und Bestsellerautor Michael Wolff begleitet Trump wie kein anderer und gewährt Einblicke in die Welt von Mar-a-Lago, Gerichtssälen und dem Trump Tower. Leser erleben Trumps Ausbrüche, Geistesblitze und seine täglichen Golfrunden, während sie seine schillernde Entourage kennenlernen, die nun in Washington Einfluss hat. Die Realität, in der Trump agiert, ist gespalten: Trotz juristischer Probleme und Anklagen erhält er bedingungslose Unterstützung von seiner Partei, während die Umfragewerte steigen und die Opposition schwächelt. Wolff zeigt, dass Trumps Erfolg auf einem schmalen Grat zwischen Tragödie und Farce beruht. Sein Verhalten ist so unkontrolliert und erratisch, dass es die Regeln des politischen Lebens außer Kraft setzt. Das Buch ist ein eindringliches Zeugnis der Dämonen, des Unfriedens und der Anarchie in Amerika unter Trump. Es ist ein investigativer Politthriller, der tief in die Abgründe des Trump-Universums eintaucht und einen Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Gesellschaft bietet, die Trump hervorgebracht hat.

    • Essay on the Principles of Logic

      A Defense of Logical Monism

      Wolff's book defends the Kantian idea of a „general logic“ whose principles underlie special systems of deductive logic. It thus undermines „logical pluralism,“ which tolerates the co-existence of divergent systems of modern logic without asking for consistent common principles. Part I of Wolff’s book identifies the formal language in which the most general principles of logic must be expressed. This language turns out to be a version of syllogistic language already used by Aristotle. The universal validity of logical principles, as well as the translatability of other logical languages into this language, are shown to depend only on the meanings of its logical vocabulary. Part II of the book answers the metalogical question concerning the deductive relation between general logic and special logical systems, which also have their own (less general) principles. This part identifies the rules according to which logical rules can be derived from principles. The main result of the book is that the highest principles of logic and metalogics are provided by the syllogistic, when properly understood.

    • Abhandlung über die Prinzipien der Logik

      Eine Verteidigung des logischen Monismus

      Die Frage nach dem „einzigen, richtigen“ Logiksystem wird von Logikern oft zurückgewiesen: Eine solche Logik existiert nicht. Michael Wolff behandelt diese Frage jedoch anders, indem er die Methode der logisch-semantischen Sprachanalyse auf die Sprachen der Logik anwendet. Diese Analyse zeigt, dass die Ansicht von Frege, Hilbert und anderen, das logische Vokabular der Syllogistik sei ohne Bedeutungsänderung durch wahrheitsfunktionale und quantorenlogische Ausdrücke sowie durch Ausdrücke des Klassenkalküls ersetzbar, nicht haltbar ist. Das logische Vokabular der Syllogistik reicht aus, um alle gültigen Regeln und Gesetze der deduktiven Logik wiederzugeben. Im Gegensatz dazu erweisen sich Regeln und Gesetze, die nur in der Sprache moderner „klassischer“ und „nicht-klassischer“ Logik formuliert werden können, als nicht allgemeingültig, da ihre Gültigkeit nicht ausschließlich auf der Bedeutung des verwendeten logischen Vokabulars beruht. Diese Systeme setzen implizit die Gültigkeit der Syllogistik voraus und sind aus ihr ableitbar. Wolff zeigt detailliert, wie diese Ableitung exakt und lückenlos zu bewerkstelligen ist, indem er eine Methode anwendet, die bereits in der Schule des Aristoteles entwickelt wurde.
