Marginalism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Marginalistik is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary science that made humoristisch- satirical arose intention and by the example abseitig appearing topics ( marginalia critically concerned) with the formal structure of scientific work and the political and sociological conditions of the operation of research and teaching. In addition, a serious formal scientific treatment of marginal and neglected topics is also included in marginalistics. Dozens of scientists, mostly university professors and lecturers, are involved. Examples are texts about the “prenominal onomastics ”, studies on the “legal nature of the beach castle”, prenatal media use , grammar school, the purpose of the thumbtack and the question of why the sausage is cut crookedly.

The term marginalistics can be traced back to Walter Hömberg and Eckart Klaus Roloff , who at irregular intervals published collections of essays on the subject as a "yearbook". The series has recently appeared with a new concept as an "Almanach". The editor is Walter Hömberg, who also heads the Institute for Marginalistics in Munich-Obermenzing.
