The Future of Post-Human Formal Science: A Preface to a New Theory of Abstraction and Application
ISBN: 9781443819466 / Twarda / 2010 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What exactly is so appealing in formal science, such that its influence can be seen in numerous disciplines nowadays, for practical purposes like better functionality, performance, and so on—as Pythagoras already famously said in antiquity: “Number is the ruler of forms and ideas and the cause of gods and demons”?
This contemporary addiction to practical convenience in formal science has turned a blind eye to its other side, which has impoverished both our knowledge of reality and the well-being of our lifeworld. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the other side of this...

The Future of Post-Human Knowledge: A Preface to a New Theory of Methodology and Ontology
ISBN: 9781843345398 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Why should inquiry be possible, only if some knowledge is required to guide it, as conventionally understood? Contrary to the conventional wisdom held by many thinkers in all human history hitherto existing, there are some fundamental dialectic principles hidden behind any categories of understanding in knowing. And these principles impose some constraints, at both methodological and ontological levels, together with other levels in culture, society, nature, and the mind - on how reality is to be understood. Furthermore, the specific categories of understanding (as conventionally understood),...

The Future of Post-Human Culinary Art: Towards a New Theory of Ingredients and Techniques
ISBN: 9781443841207 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 615 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is culinary art really so exact that, as Delia Smith once wrote, cooking is an exact art and not some casual game? (BQ 2012) This exact view of cooking can be contrasted with an opposing observation by Tom Jaine, when he argued that, if cooking becomes an art form rather than a means of providing a reasonable diet, then something is clearly wrong. (BQ 2012a) Contrary to these opposing views (and other ones as will be discussed in the book), culinary art, in relation to both ingredients and techniques, is neither possible or impossible, nor desirable or undesirable, to the extent that the...

The Future of Post-Human Chemistry: A Preface to a New Theory of Substances and their Changes
ISBN: 9781443833042 / Twarda / 2011 / 515 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is chemistry really so valuable that, as Theodore L. Brown (2011) and his colleagues continue to claim in the twelfth edition of their work in 2011, chemistry is “the central science” in connecting the physical sciences with the life and applied sciences? (WK 2011 & 2011; C. Reinhardt 2001)
This crowning of chemistry, however, can be contrasted with an opposing view, as Michael Polanyi once questioned the centrality of chemistry, when he wrote that “[n]o inanimate object is ever fully determined by the laws of . . . chemistry,” so other fields of study are just as important. (BQ... Is chemistry really so valuable that, as Theodore L. Brown (2011) and his colleagues continue to claim in the twelfth edition of their work in 2011, c...

The Future of Information Architecture
ISBN: 9781843344704 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The Future of Information Architecture examines issues surrounding why information is processed, stored and applied in the way that it has, since time immemorial. Contrary to the conventional wisdom held by many scholars in human history, the recurrent debate on the explanation of the most basic categories of information (eg space, time causation, quality, quantity) has been misconstrued, to the effect that there exists some deeper categories and principles behind these categories of information - with enormous implications for our understanding of reality in general. To understand this, the...

The Future of Post-Human Law: A Preface to a New Theory of Necessity, Contingency and Justice
ISBN: 9781443819497 / Twarda / 2010 / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What makes the rule of law so special that it is to conscientiously punish the “bad” doers and reward the “good” ones—such that, where there is the rule of law, peace and order are to be expected, so that “the rule of law is better than the rule of any individual”?
Take the case of international law, as an illustration. While different international courts have been busy going after the killers of innocent victims in Rwanda and Liberia, they have turned a blind eye to the major powers which have killed—on a much larger and more brutal scale, by comparison—innocent...

The Future of Post-Human Performing Arts: A Preface to a New Theory of the Body and Its Presence
ISBN: 9781443835206 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Are the performing arts really supposed to be so radical that, as John Cage once said in the context of music, there is no noise, only sound, since he argued that any sounds we can hear can be music? (WK 2007a; D. Harwood 1976) This radical tradition in performing arts, with music as an example here, can be contrasted with an opposing view in the older days, when Greek philosophers and medieval theorists in music defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies, and vertically as harmonies. Music theory, within this realm, is studied with the presupposition that music is orderly and...

The Future of Post-Human Sexuality: A Preface to a New Theory of the Body and Spirit of Love Makers
ISBN: 9781443817196 / Twarda / 2010 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What precisely resides in “sexuality” which warrants the popular discourse on sexuality as “part of our world freedom,” or something as an inspiring source for “our own creation” of “new forms of relationships” or “new forms of love” never before possible in human history?
This popular treatment of sexual freedom has become so politically correct, in this day and age of ours, that it fast degenerates into a seductive ideology which has impoverished our understanding of sexuality by blinding us from its dark sides. Contrary to this intoxicating conventional... What precisely resides in “sexuality” which warrants the popular discourse on sexuality as “part of our world freedom,” or something as an ins...

The Future of Post-Human War and Peace: A Preface to a New Theory of Aggression and Pacificity
ISBN: 9781443821070 / Twarda / 2010 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is peace really so precious that it is popularly viewed in irenology (peace studies) of our time as “natural” and “a prime force in human behavior”—whereas war, its opposite, is instead condemned as “sinful” and “not” natural? In fact, there is even the prestigious Nobel “peace” prize to be awarded to those who contribute to world peace but not an equivalent Nobel “war” prize to those who do the contrary.
This euphoric view of peace is by no means a constant conventional wisdom in human history, as it can be sharply contrasted with an equally seductive view of...

The Future of Post-Human Accounting: Towards a New Theory of Addition and Subtraction in Information Management (Hc)
ISBN: 9781623966836 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 720 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Is the invention of accounting so useful that, as Charlie Munger once said, "you have to know accounting. It's the language of practical business life. It was a very useful thing to deliver to civilization. I've heard it came to civilization through Venice which of course was once the great commercial power in the Mediterranean"? (WOO 2013) This positive view on accounting can be contrasted with an opposing view by Paul Browne that "the recent accounting] scandals have brought a new level of attention to the accounting profession as gatekeepers and custodians of social interest." (DUM 2013)...

Beyond Civilization to Post-Civilization: Conceiving a Better Model of Life Settlement to Supersede Civilization
ISBN: 9780820481708 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The seemingly preposterous thesis that civilization is as evil and as good as barbarity and that civilization will not last is contrary to the conventional wisdom held by many in much of human history. Yet, one needs only to examine human history to see that almost all of the most inhumane chapters have been committed not by those in -barbaric- hunting/gathering societies, but by those in -civilized- agrarian, then industrial, and later post-industrial societies all in the intoxicating name of -civilization.- The very ideal of civilization seems in deep crisis. Is there something...

The Future of Post-Human Sports: Towards a New Theory of Training and Winning
ISBN: 9781443846677 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Are sports really supposed to be so competitive that, as Henry R. Sanders once famously said, "Men, I'll be honest. Winning is...the only thing ?" (WK 2012) This competitive view of sports can be contrasted with a critical view by William Shakespeare, who wrote in Othello (Act. iv. Sc. 1), "They laugh that win." (BART 2012) Contrary to these opposing views (and other ones, as will be discussed in the book), sports (in relation to both training and winning) are neither possible (or impossible) nor desirable (or undesirable) to the extent that the respective ideologues (on different sides)...

The Future of Post-Human Semantics: A Preface to a New Theory of Internality and Externality
ISBN: 9781443836487 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 595 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is semantics really so indeterminate that, as W. V. Quine (1960) once argued in Word and Object, in the example about a previously undocumented, primitive tribe, it is impossible in principle to be absolutely certain of the meaning or reference that a speaker of the primitive tribe's language attaches to an utterance? (WK 2011) This thought-provoking stand in semantics can be contrasted with an opposing view like literal translation (or metaphrase, in contrast with paraphrase), in that, as John Dryden put it, when words] appear . . . literally graceful, it were an injury to the author that...

The Future of Capitalism and Democracy
ISBN: 9780761823872 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 682 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Contrary to the thinking of many contemporaries, both capitalism and democracy will not last and are to be superceded one day by post-capitalism and post-democracy. The short-lived triumph of market capitalism and liberal democracy in the post-Cold War era does not imply the coming end of systematic ideology, of structural oppression, or of violent conflict at the rational endpoint of history. Unfortunately, violence does not disappear but only takes a different form of hegemony, as it has throughout history. The difference is, each age has its own form to adjust to, so we believe in ours,...
