rampstyle #26 Good News

15,00 EUR

Two thin ovals far up inside a circle, a curved arc below, sketched on sunny yellow. In a split second, our brain has combined the elements into a smiling face, instantly putting us in a good mood. Wonderful! A smiley like that just feels good.

rampdesign 2018

10,00 EUR

The world is changing. And the car is allowed to reinvent itself just as vividly as the entire car industry. And that's where design and designers come into play. Because good design, in combination with a consistent and holistic design-first culture, makes all the difference - and thus becomes a competitive advantage. We have devoted an entire issue to this topic. And we have based it on the world of the Volkswagen Group.

ramp #57 Really?

15,00 EUR

If you think logical thinking is the perfect epistemological tool, you’d better put this magazine aside right now. Unfortunately, life is not unconditionally logical. More like merrily untamed. But no matter. People may think logically – but also always intuitively. The ideal philosophical method: dialectics.

rampspecial New Horizon

20,00 EUR

With the New Horizon, Christian Zschocke created a sculpture on four wheels that whets the appetite for the future. In an interview, the Frankfurt-based lawyer explains why he would like to see more courage in society, how the car actually drives, and why he was totally taken aback by the reactions to the art project.

rampstyle #25 Keep It Simple and Smart

15,00 EUR

We prefer to experience our world not only as rather complicated, but also as extremely complex. And there we are, more or less merrily in the middle of it all.

rampstyle #24
I am (cool)

15,00 EUR

Everything is supposed to be cool; everyone wants to be cool. We encounter the terms cool and coolness almost everywhere we go – at times overused, at times vague and undefined. At the same time, coolness inspires, it is confidence, an attitude, a style, an aesthetic.

rampstyle #23 Me. Again.

15,00 EUR

An issue we dedicate to ourselves. Us. Once again. Following on from our last rampstyle, which we called »Me for Myself«. Wonderful. How do we ideally approach this »me«? We recommend a combination of two strategies: Approach your identity hunt like Inspector Columbo, who always seems a bit off-track in the detective series of the same name, but nevertheless always solves the case.

rampstyle #22
I for myself

15,00 EUR

What makes us tick? Ultimately, it’s always our personality. This wonderfully dazzling and unique “me” through which we see ourselves and the world. So far, so good – as seen by others. But once we start thinking about our self, things get more complicated.

rampstyle #21
Sex, Art & Chocolate

15,00 EUR

Immanuel Kant would not have bought this issue of rampstyle. In Kantian ethics, man is bound by duty, and it is irrelevant whether he is happy or not. A nasty trap – and deeply entrenched in our culture to this day.

rampstyle #20 Sunny Side Up

15,00 EUR

If the problems do not solve themselves, it is best to shut down the system briefly. With an emphasis on brief. The success of the action lives then naturally substantially on the fact that one can be pleased finally about a successful restart.

rampstyle #19 Hyppytyynytyydytys

15,00 EUR

There is no happiness without misfortune. Or to put it another way: The safest formula for unhappiness is to think about happiness (and yourself) all the time. Nevertheless, we once dared to do so.

rampstyle #18
La pensée sauvage

15,00 EUR

If our lives go according to plan, we'll be happy. Didn't I? Well, yeah. When everything is predictable, there is no room for spontaneity. Which brings us to Claude Lévi-Strauss and his work »La pensée sauvage« (»Wild Thinking«).

rampstyle #17 Sticking to It

10,00 EUR

Sticking to it? Sure, we know what that means. But we wanted to delve deeper, to penetrate to the core of stick-to-it-ive-ness as a philosophy – even as a way of life. That might even entice us to examine our own paradigms and behaviors and to discover the joy of experimentation.

rampstyle #15 Save the Cat!

10,00 EUR

What makes a good story? A likable main character. Says US film producer Blake Snyder. And this likability is best created through deeds rather than words.

rampstyle #12 Outside the Box!

10,00 EUR

Unfortunately, this issue of rampstyle #12 is only available in German.
