VINCENT VENDER VIRKELIGHEDEN
Vincent F. Hendricks |
Filosofien er i virkeligheden i den grad som
virkeligheden er i filosofien. Til tider kan det dog være svært nok at se
skoven for bare træer. Her er 30,1 klummer med filosofi på tværs, hvor
Vincent F. Hendricks tager et tema op fra hverdagen og, både indsigtsfuldt
og underholdende, endevender det fra en logisk og filosofisk vinkel. Nogle af klummerne er kendt fra dk4s tv-serie af samme navn. "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!" |

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.?” |

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. |
