ISBN: 9780226720807 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since antiquity, philosophers and engineers have tried to take life s measure by reproducing it. Aiming to reenact Creation, at least in part, these experimenters have hoped to understand the links between body and spirit, matter and mind, mechanism and consciousness. "Genesis Redux" examines moments from this centuries-long experimental tradition: efforts to simulate life in machinery, to synthesize life out of material parts, and to understand living beings by comparison with inanimate mechanisms.

Science in the Age of Sensibility: The Sentimental Empiricists of the French Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780226720791 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Empiricism today implies the dispassionate scrutiny of facts. But Jessica Riskin finds that in the French Enlightenment, empiricism was intimately bound up with sensibility. In what she calls a "sentimental empiricism," natural knowledge was taken to rest on a blend of experience and emotion. Riskin argues that sentimental empiricism brought together ideas and institutions, practices and politics. She shows, for instance, how the study of blindness, led by ideas about the mental and moral role of vision and by cataract surgeries, shaped the first school for the blind; how Benjamin...
