What were the reasons for this approach of Germany in the mid-2010s? Germany tried to prevent an uncontrolled escalation of tensions with the Russian Federation at the earliest stages of confrontation when new rules of strategic behaviour were just being developed.

I also argue that for Kant “maturity” carries not only biological ...

An ecological approach to language assumes that the cognitive dynamics of humans as living systems consists in the adaptive interactional behaviour in the relational domain of linguistic interactions.
