Описание: Who are we, and how do we relate to each other? Luciano Floridi argues that the explosive developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is changing the answer to these fundamental human questions. Are our technologies going to enable and empower us, or constrain us?
Описание: "It is impossible to understand capitalism without analyzing slavery. Through an analysis of the Haitian Revolution, Greuner examines the impact of slavery on the evolution of modernity in South America, and the way in which this revolution created a `counter-modernity,` a path on which Latin America and the Caribbean have travelled ever since"

How Paris, London, Chicago, Berlin, and Tokyo created modernity through science and technology by means of urban planning, international expositions, and museums.
At the close of the nineteenth century, industrialization and urbanization marked the end of the traditional understanding of society as rooted in agriculture. Urban Modernity examines the construction of an urban-centered, industrial-based culture--an entirely new social reality based on science and technology. The authors show that this invention of modernity was brought about through the efforts of urban elites--businessmen, industrialists, and officials--to establish new science- and technology-related institutions. International expositions, museums, and other such institutions and projects helped stem the economic and social instability fueled by industrialization, projecting the past and the future as part of a steady continuum of scientific and technical progress. The authors examine the dynamic connecting urban planning, museums, educational institutions, and expositions in Paris, London, Chicago, Berlin, and Tokyo from 1870 to 1930. In Third Republic Paris, politicians, administrators, social scientists, architects, and engineers implemented the future city through a series of commissions, agencies, and organizations; in rapidly expanding London, cultures of science and technology were both rooted in and constitutive of urban culture; in Chicago after the Great Fire, Commercial Club members pursued civic ideals through scientific and technological change; in Berlin, industry, scientific institutes, and the popularization of science helped create a modern metropolis; and in Meiji-era Tokyo (Edo), modernization and Westernization went hand in hand.

Описание: The Quantum Revolution discusses how quantum theory overthrew the objective, materialist and determinist worldviews of classical physics. The text emphasizes how quantum physics may reestablish consciousness as a causal agent in science by delving into quantum non-locality and its implications to society.

Описание: A few days earlier I had been lecturing, in a course on field theory, on the renormalization proce- dures of relativistic quantum field theory. The students had never heard of these ideas of Kramers` and were totally unaware of his work in field theory.

Описание: Quantum theory launched a revolution in physics. But we have yet to understand the revolution`s significance for philosophy. Richard Healey opens a path to such understanding. The first part of this book offers a self-contained but opinionated introduction to quantum theory. The second part assesses the theory`s philosophical significance.
