Future Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech
ISBN: 9780198848929 / Miękka / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Politics in the Twentieth Century was dominated by a single question: how much of our collective life should be determined by the state, and what should be left to the market and civil society? Now the debate is different: to what extent should our lives be directed and controlled by powerful digital systems - and on what terms? Digital technologies - from artificial intelligence to blockchain, from robotics to virtual reality - are transforming the way we live together. Those who control the most powerful technologies are increasingly able to control the rest of us. As time goes on,...

Engineering Perfection: Solidarity, Disability, and Wellbeing
ISBN: 9781793624116 / Twarda / 15-10-2021 / 204 str. Książka dostępna od: 15-10-2021 What do we owe our future children? How do advances in biomedical science bear on these obligations? How do capitalist incentives distort their execution? Advances in biotechnologies for human enhancement and designer babies appear to offer us new hope to control the fragility of human living. Some philosophers have argued that we have a moral imperative to use them, especially to eliminate disabilities. Elyse Purcell offers an opposing view, one guided by existential insights and Marxist reflections. Engineering Perfection: Solidarity, Disability, and Well-being explores the effect...

ISBN: 9780826459039 / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Cyborg Experiments analyzes the challenges posed to corporeality by techology. Taking as their starting point the work of the highly influential performance artists Orlan and Stelarc, the essays in this timely and important collection raise a number of questions in relation to new conceptions of embodiment, identity and otherness in the age of new technologies: Has the body become obsolete? Does transgender challenge traditional ideas of agency? Have we always been cyborgs? In addition to highlighting the playful character of digital aesthetics, the contributors investigate ethical issues...

The Concise Encyclopedia of the Ethics of New Technologies
ISBN: 9780121663551 / Angielski / Twarda / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. The ethical assessment of new technologies raises two principal concerns: the need to develop effective policies and legislation, and the reconsideration of the ethical frameworks in which these policies and laws are developed. The importance of rapid, accurate examinations of tensions between Philosophy and Law and the relationship between philosophical principles and empirical data has never been greater. The Concise Encyclopedia of Ethics of New Technologies includes 23 articles previously published in the highly-acclaimed Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics, nine...

Forces of Production: A Social History of Industrial Automation
ISBN: 9780195040463 / Angielski / Miękka / 427 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Focusing on the postwar automation of the American metal-working industry--the heart of the modern industrial economy--this is a provocative study of how automation has assumed a critical role in America. David Noble argues that industrial automation--more than merely a technological advance--is a social process that reflects very real divisions and pressures within our society. The book explains how technology is often spurred and shaped by the military, corporations, universities, and other mighty institutions. Using detailed case studies, Noble also demonstrates how engineering design is...

National Innovation Systems : A Comparative Analysis
ISBN: 9780195076172 / Angielski / Miękka / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The slowdown of growth in Western industrialized nations in the last twenty years, along with the rise of Japan as a major economic and technological power (and enhanced technical sophistication of Taiwan, Korea, and other NICs) has led to what the authors believe to be a "techno-nationalism." This combines a strong belief that technological capabilities of a nation's firms are a key source of their competitive process, with a belief that these capabilities are in a sense national, and can be built by national action. This book is about these national systems of technical innovation. The...

Acceptable Evidence : Science and Values in Risk Management
ISBN: 9780195089295 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Discussions of science and values in risk management have largely focused on how values enter into arguments about risks, that is, issues of acceptable risk. Instead this volume concentrates on how values enter into collecting, interpreting, communicating, and evaluating the evidence of risks, that is, issues of the acceptability of evidence of risk. By focusing on acceptable evidence, this volume avoids two barriers to progress. One barrier assumes that evidence of risk is largely a matter of objective scientific data and therefore uncontroversial. The other assumes that evidence of risk,...

Beyond Engineering : How Society Shapes Technology
ISBN: 9780195107722 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We have long recognized technology as a driving force behind much historical and cultural change. The invention of the printing press initiated the Reformation. The development of the compass ushered in the Age of Exploration and the discovery of the New World. The cotton gin created the conditions that led to the Civil War. Now, in Beyond Engineering, science writer Robert Pool turns the question around to examine how society shapes technology. Drawing on such disparate fields as history, economics, risk analysis, management science, sociology, and psychology, Pool illuminates the complex,...

The Sun, The Genome, and The Internet : Tools of Scientific Revolution
ISBN: 9780195139228 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this visionary look into the future, Freeman Dyson argues that technological changes fundamentally alter our ethical and social arrangements and that three rapidly advancing new technologies--solar energy, genetic engineering, and world-wide communication--together have the potential to create a more equal distribution of the world's wealth.
Dyson begins by rejecting the idea that scientific revolutions are primarily concept driven. He shows rather that new tools are more often the sparks that ignite scientific discovery. Such tool-driven revolutions have profound social...

This book is a useful text for advanced students of MIS and ICT courses, and for those studying ICT in related areas: Management and Organization Studies, Cultural Studies, and Technology and Innovation. As ICT's permeate every sphere of society--business, education, leisure, government, etc.--it is important to reflect the character and complexity of the interaction between people and computer, between society and technology.

Technology and the Good Life?
ISBN: 9780226333878 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Can we use technology in the pursuit of a good life, or are we doomed to having our lives organized and our priorities set by the demands of machines and systems? How can philosophy help us to make technology a servant rather than a master?
"Technology and the Good Life?" uses a careful collective analysis of Albert Borgmann's controversial and influential ideas as a jumping-off point from which to address questions such as these about the role and significance of technology in our lives. Contributors both sympathetic and critical examine Borgmann's work, especially his "device...

Human-Built World : How to Think about Technology and Culture
ISBN: 9780226359342 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. To most people, technology has been reduced to computers, consumer goods, and military weapons; we speak of "technological progress" in terms of RAM and CD-ROMs and the flatness of our television screens. In "Human-Built World," thankfully, Thomas Hughes restores to technology the conceptual richness and depth it deserves by chronicling the ideas about technology expressed by influential Western thinkers who not only understood its multifaceted character but who also explored its creative potential.
Hughes draws on an enormous range of literature, art, and architecture to explore what... To most people, technology has been reduced to computers, consumer goods, and military weapons; we speak of "technological progress" in terms of RAM a...
