MODERNE ELEMENTÆR LOGIK 2. reviderede udgave
|
Alle mennesker er i stand til at udføre
korrekte logiske slutninger, men vi gør os det sjældent klart, hvordan vi
bærer os ad. Det kan logikken fortælle, og derfor spiller den en så vigtig
rolle i mange moderne videnskaber. Moderne elementær logik tager læseren
gennem den moderne logik og dens systemer - fra klassisk udsagnslogik over
førsteordenslogik til modallogik, herunder aletisk, temporal og epistemisk
logik. Bogen indeholder ligeledes kapitler af mere avanceret karakter om
formelle strukturer, modelteori og metateoretisk analyse af udsagnslogik
samt førsteordenslogik. Bogen er tilrettelagt med henblik på
universiteternes grunduddannelser i bl.a. filosofi, matematik, datalogi,
lingvistik og retorik, men henvender sig også til studerende på
overbygningsuddannelsernes specialkurser - og i det hele taget enhver, der
interesser sig for “tænkningens love”.

VINCENT VENDER VIRKELIGHEDEN
Vincent F. Hendricks |
Grubleglæde. Det må være filosofiens
sidestykke til spilleglæde eller fortælleglæde. Klummerne i Vincent
vender virkeligheden er sprængfyldt med grubleglæde. Og så er bogen og
filosofien i den netop helt ude og tage livtag med virkeligheden og
dagligdagen - fra krigen i Irak over Obama i USA til Khader i Danmark.
Befriende. Men også cool, drilsk og flabet på den rigtige måde. Filosofi,
der kvikker og gør klog. Tankevækkende! |

EXPERTISE: PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTIONS
|
Problems related to expertise are amongst the
most pressing issues of our time. Although philosophical reflection has much
to contribute to the identification and resolution of these problems, the
topic of expertise has not received the professional attention that it
deserves. Expertise: Philosophical Reflections corrects this
imbalance by critically ddressing fundamental conceptual and normative
issues related expertise. In so doing, it covers a range of technological
issues related to expert authority, judgment, and competence, including: the
prospects of artificial intelligence, the ethics of sustainability research
and sustainable design, controversy over advocacy for genetically modified
foods, and behaviormodifying technologies called “nudges.” Expertise today has become both highly important and controversial - Luddite politics, science skepticism, climate doubters complicate the scene. Evan Selinger takes a deep and probing look at styles of expertise ... He adds his own empirical turn examples to give us all much needed insight into expertise in the 21st century. - Don Ihde Expertise: Philosophical Reflections is a compelling and illuminative analysis of one of the most crucial issues in our technological culture ... This study is a must-read for everybody who wants to understand and improve the role of experts, and our trust in them, in contemporary society. - Peter-Paul Verbeek |

IRONIC TECHNICS
|
Even before we humans became modern as homo sapiens sapiens we were busy inventing technologies. But our technologies also invent us as humans. And as we reflect upon this process, too often our interpretations have taken utopian or dystopian directions: our technologies will make life infinitely better and lead us into utopian realms, or our technologies will condemn us to alienation or even destroy our humanity itself. This set of essays, however, looks at the ironic dimensions of human-technology relations, at unpredicted, unexpected, surprizing outcomes. Are we today in a ‘knowledge society’? And, if so, are we wiser? Can we ‘design’ intended uses into our technologies? Or, do they always surprise us with the unexpected? Can we ‘technologize’ our very bodies”? Become ever more Cyborgean? And have we or could we become ‘posthuman’? Here, drawing from a rich history of technologies, Ironic Technics takes a critical look at these contemporary, but also ancient questions.?” |

EMBODIED TECHNICS
Don Ihde
|
While some people think that our new technologies which texture our lifeworld disembody human experience, and while others think that eventually we will be able to ‘upload’ our very embodiment into these technologies, this collection of chapters takes a close postphenomenological account of a myriad of these technologies as we interface with them. Beginning with cinema and the “Matrix Trilogy”, then on to both ancient and new musical instrumenta-lities, romping with robots, venturing into radical imaging technologies which depict phenomena beyond human sensory capacity, and working with both information technologies and a deep history of writing technologies, Don Ihde brings his skills at doing variations to explore the role of human embodiment with technics. He argues that the new technologies both extend and transform our experience of embodiment. And the multistable trajectories of these new technics present possibilities often not yet explored. |

philosophical probings: eSSAYS
ON VON WRIGHT'S LATER WORK
|
This book gives an illuminating account of significant features of von Wright’s later work while showing philosophers wrestling on their own with philosophical issues central to his investigations. The six essays in part I are penetrating discussions of his changing views of norms, his claims about the varieties of goodness, his account of action, and his standpoint on the nature of future contingents. Part II contains von Wright’s “Logic and Philosophy in the Twentieth Century” with commentary from diverse points of view by seven distinguished philosopher-logicians, who offer a rich feast of reflection on the role logic might play in philosophy in the 21st century. |
