Singular Creatures: Robots, Rights, and the Politics of Posthumanism
ISBN: 9780228014348 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Anxiety about non-human intelligent machines is a longstanding theme of cultural production and consumption. Examples range from tales of golems and Frankenstein’s monster to the evil overlord scenarios of contemporary film and television franchises: Star Trek, the Alien series, and the Terminator sequence, as well as Her, Black Mirror, Blade Runner, Ex Machina, and many other less mainstream cultural artifacts. The source of this anxiety is clear. Non-human conscious entities may turn out to be superior to any biological form of life, allowing a stride across human ambition in a moment...

Practical Judgments: Essays in Culture, Politics, and Interpretation
ISBN: 9780802038012 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What does it mean to be both a professor of philosophy and a public intellectual in an age when every CEO is hailed as an intellectual, every adman a visionary? When the opinions of TV pundits and 'fast thinkers' seem to carry the day? When academics bemoan the loss of critical engagement and dialogue? The essays and book reviews collected in Practical Judgments represent popular Toronto philosopher and cultural theorist Mark Kingwell's negotiation of the space where academe collides with the world outside the ivory tower. Kingwell considers cricket and consciousness, dandies...

A Civil Tongue: Justice, Dialogue, and the Politics of Pluralism
ISBN: 9780271027739 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is about a widely shared desire: the desire among citizens for a vibrant and effective social discourse of legitimation. It therefore begins with the conviction that what political philosophy can provide citizens is not further theories of the good life but instead directions for talking about how to justify the choices they make--or, in brief, "just talking." As part of the general trend away from the aridity of Kantian universalism in political philosophy, thinkers as diverse as Bruce Ackerman, Jurgen Habermas, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Richard Rorty have taken a "dialogic...

Rites of Way: The Politics and Poetics of Public Space
ISBN: 9781554581535 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There are many ways to approach the subject of public space: the threats posed to it by surveillance and visual pollution; the joys it offers of stimulation and excitement, of anonymity and transformation; its importance to urban variety or democratic politics. But public space remains an evanescent and multidimensional concept that too often escapes scrutiny. The essays in Rites of Way: The Politics and Poetics of Public Space open up multiple dimensions of the concept from architectural, political, philosophical, and technological points of view. There is some historical... There are many ways to approach the subject of public space: the threats posed to it by surveillance and visual pollution; the joys it offers of s... |

Nearest Thing to Heaven: The Empire State Building and American Dreams
ISBN: 9780300126129 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This elegantly written appreciation of the Empire State Building opens up the building's richness and importance as an icon of America. The book leads us through the facts surrounding the skyscraper's conception and construction, then enters into a provocative theoretical discussion of its function as an icon, its representation in pictures, literature, and film, and the implications of its iconic status as New York's most important architectural monument to ambition and optimism. The Empire State Building literally cannot be seen in its totality, from any perspective. And paradoxically, this...

Ich wünschte, ich wäre hier: Langeweile im Zeitalter des Internets
ISBN: 9783737413336 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2021 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Langeweile ist eine der geläufigsten menschlichen Erfahrungen, trotzdem scheint sie sich beharrlich einem vollständigen Verständnis zu entziehen. Wir alle wissen, wie es sich anfühlt, gelangweilt zu sein, doch was genau den Zustand des Gelangweiltseins auslöst, was ihn ausmacht und was aus ihm folgt, ist weit weniger klar. Ist Langeweile eine Funktion der Muße, sodass es, wie manche meinen, vor dem Zeitalter Schopenhauers so etwas wie Langeweile gar nicht gab? Oder ist die aus dem Mittelalter bekannte Sünde der Acedia - eine Art Apathie, ein Überdruss an jeder Art des Tätigseins -...
