THOUGHT2TALK
|
Thought2Talk is a crash course on argument, reasoning and logical method honoring the Swedish poet and Bishop of Lund, Esaias Tegnér, who once said: "The words and thoughts of men are born together: To speak obscurely is to think obscurely." In 100 humorous yet erudite pages, Thought2Talk takes the reader through key concepts like statement, argument, validity, fallacy, modality and demonstration. |

EMBODYING TECHNOSCIENCE
|
Embodying Technoscience is a critical examination of the problem of reductivism. Emphasizing the issue of embodiment, phenomenologists have long argued that scientific analysis and practices of technological innovation routinely are predicated upon characterizing fundamental dimensions of humanity in unduly simplistic and often false terms. Turing to debates about artificial intelligence, computational simulation, and human nature in which the problem of reductivism is a central point of dispute, Selinger demonstrates how, ironically, some of the very best attempts to avoid reductivism end up distorting how embodiment is experienced and can be studied. |

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.?” JUST RELEASED ... |
