The Cunning of Uncertainty
ISBN: 9780745687612 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Uncertainty is interwoven into human existence. It is a powerful incentive in the search for knowledge and an inherent component of scientific research. We have developed many ways of coping with uncertainty. We make promises, manage risks and make predictions to try to clear the mists and predict ahead. But the future is inherently uncertain - and the mist that shrouds our path an inherent part of our journey. The burning question is whether our societies can face up to uncertainty, learn to embrace it and whether we can open up to a constantly evolving future.
In this new book,... Uncertainty is interwoven into human existence. It is a powerful incentive in the search for knowledge and an inherent component of scientific researc...

Die KI sei mit euch
ISBN: 9783751803960 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2023 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Las man in früheren Zeiten im Vogelflug oder in den Eingeweiden von Tieren, um sich die Angst vor dem, was kommen mag, zu nehmen, erlauben uns heute Algorithmen einen nahezu unfehlbaren Blick in die Zukunft. Doch das Vertrauen in das prognostizierende Vermögen von künstlicher Intelligenz birgt Risiken und lässt allzu schnell ein fatalistisches Bild entstehen: Indem wir uns der technologischen Mittel bedienen, um die Kontrolle über Zukunft und Ungewissheit zu erhöhen, büßen wir zusehends unsere Handlungs- und Gestaltungsfähigkeit und also auch Kontrolle ein - Vorhersagen werden zu...

Re-Thinking Science: Knowledge and the Public in an Age of Uncertainty
ISBN: 9780745626079 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Re-Thinking Science presents an account of the dynamic relationship between society and science. Despite the mounting evidence of a much closer, interactive relationship between society and science, current debate still seems to turn on the need to maintain a 'line' to demarcate them. The view persists that there is a one-way communication flow from science to society - with scant attention given to the ways in which society communicates with science.
The authors argue that changes in society now make such communications both more likely and more numerous, and that this... Re-Thinking Science presents an account of the dynamic relationship between society and science. Despite the mounting evidence of a much closer, inter...

Time
ISBN: 9780745618371 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Helga Nowotny's exploration of the forms and meaning of time in contemporary life is panoramic without in any way partaking of the blandness of a survey. From the artificial time of the scientific laboratory to the distinctively modern yearning for one's own time, she regards every topic in this wide-ranging book from a fresh angle of vision, one which reveals unsuspected affinities between the bravest, newest worlds of global technology and the most ancient worlds of myth."
--Lorraine Daston, University of Chicago This book represents a major contribution to the... "Helga Nowotny's exploration of the forms and meaning of time in contemporary life is panoramic without in any way partaking of the blandness of a sur...

Die gläsernen Gene : Die Erfindung des Individuums im molekularen Zeitalter
ISBN: 9783518260166 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2009 / 159 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In den Lebenswissenschaften hat sich die Molekularbiologie als Leitwissenschaft etabliert, die genzentrierte Sichtweise ist zum dominanten Paradigma, das Genom zum säkularisierten Äquivalent der Seele geworden. Parallel dazu ist in liberalen Demokratien ein Individualisierungsprozeß zu beobachten: Dem einzelnen stehen alle Optionen offen. Die Kategorien, auf denen das gesellschaftliche Leben beruht Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen, Eigentumsrechte an natürlichen und artifiziellen Organismen, die Verschiebung der Grenzen zwischen privat und öffentlich, die Rechte des Individuums gegenüber der...

Nineteen Eighty-Four: Science Between Utopia and Dystopia
ISBN: 9789027717191 / Angielski / Twarda / 1984 / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Just fifty years ago Julian Huxley, the biologist grandson of Thomas Henry Huxley, published a book which easily could be seen to represent the prevail- ing outlook among young scientists of the day: If I were a Dictator (1934). The outlook is optimistic, the tone playfully rational, the intent clear - allow science a free hand and through rational planning it could bring order out of the surrounding social chaos. He complained, however: At the moment, science is for most part either an intellectual luxury or the paid servant of capitalist industry or the nationalist state. When it and its...

Insatiable Curiosity: Innovation in a Fragile Future
ISBN: 9780262515108 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Curiosity is the main driving force behind scientific activity. Scientific curiosity, insatiable in its explorations, does not know what it will find, or where it will lead. Science needs autonomy to cultivate this kind of untrammeled curiosity; innovation, however, responds to the needs and desires of society. Innovation, argues influential European science studies scholar Helga Nowotny, tames the passion of science, harnessing it to produce "deliverables." Science brings uncertainties; innovation successfully copes with them. Society calls for both the passion for knowledge and its... Curiosity is the main driving force behind scientific activity.
