Kirchhoff M: The Idealized Mind

The Idealized Mind

From Model-Based Science to Cognitive Science

Theory in the New Humanities

Looking afresh at the Anthropocene, this open access volume investigates how the capitalist engineering of the earth is not only accelerating, but is doing so in parallel with the expansion of digital technological systems, including so-called 'artificial intelligence'. Against the backdrop of new regimes of data positivism, algorithmic classification and prediction, and even the emergence of unexpected forms of collective intelligence, Incomputable Earth addresses the crucial need to rethink the meaning and inter-relationality of such terms as 'extraction', 'computation', and 'planetarity'. Beyond the theory, it also asks what cognitive and political capacities we need to grapple with the implications of this parallel intensification of datafication and the Anthropocene. Examining new forms of subjectivity and resistance, this timely volume tackles a range of urgent topics, from the racialized politics of climate change to feminist ecologies and planetary financialization. In an original, hybrid format that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of these debates, Incomputable Earth is made up of scholarly essays, striking artistic contributions, and a glossary of emerging concepts in the humanities. Bringing together international scholars, artists, grassroots collectives, and environmental organisations, this is a vital intervention into the past, present, and future of computation and its inescapable impact upon our social, political, and planetary life. This book emerges from the artistic research project "The Incomputable-Art in the Age of Algorithms," instigated at the Institute for Contemporary Art, Graz University of Technology, and funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport, and the Styrian Provincial Government Department of Economy, Tourism, Science and Research. This book is available open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by The Austrian Science Fund (FWF).

Issues in Ancient Philosophy

This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the origin and development of the concept of physical continuity in ancient thought before Aristotle, combining a thorough study of Presocratic philosophy with Aristotle's perspective.

'Highly engaging' MIKE BERNERS-LEE 'Fascinating and insightful' MARK MIODOWNIK 'A stimulating and affable overview of how major feats of engineering can help the world beat the climate crisis' NEW STATESMAN __________ We rarely think about the energy systems that prop up our existence. With hot water, lighting and digital entertainment all available at the flick of a switch, it's easy to underestimate the vast global network that makes these things possible. In Power Up engineer Yasmin Ali takes us on a journey across the globe to reveal the bigger picture, from solar farms shimmering in the desert to power stations hidden deep in the mountains. We discover where we get energy from, how it is moved and used around the world - and why we need to understand the whole system if we want to transition towards a clean, green future. Power Up is a definitive picture of the intricate world that humanity has built, and a rallying cry to face the challenges of climate change using the power at our fingertips.

How much do we reply upon certainty? And, how does the way we deal with uncertainty impact our future and our lives?Uncertainty is one of the defining issues of our time. The stability we once had is disappearing, and fast. Vast changes in society are shifting our realities- extraordinary numbers of immigrants and refugees are upsetting the demographic, and the cultural and religious foundations of nations. Changing attitudes and approaches to employment, with an increase in freelance and temporary work undermines people's ability to plan for the future. And, there is an ever decreasing sense of trust in what once hallowed- the government, the media, in education, religion, in medicine. Instead, the internet provides us with a wave of conflicting advice. When we can no longer make sense of the world together, insecurity takes over. We develop anxiety and confusion about our purpose, and in searching for certainty find it in autocratic leaders and populism. Democracy begins to fade as our uncertainty grows. If we are aware of our need for certainty, and understand why we behave instinctively in the way that we do, we can better understand how stress and pressure affects our decisions. We can shed light not only on historical trends but understand how we change those trends for the future.

'A delight' Dara O Briain'A witty, smart writer who has a great talent' Bill GatesWhy are most gases invisible, odourless and tasteless? Why do some poison us and others make us laugh? And why do some power our engines while others make drinks fizzy? In It's a Gas, Mark Miodownik masterfully reveals an invisible world through his unique brand of scientific storytelling. Taking us back to that exhilarating - and often dangerous - moment when scientists tried to work out exactly what they had discovered, Miodownik shows that gases are the formative substances of our modern world, each with its own weird and wonderful personality. We see how seventeenth-century laughing gas parties led to the first use of anaesthetics in surgery, how the invention of the air valve in musical instruments gave us bicycles, cars and trainers, and how gases made us masters of the sea (by huge steamships) and skies (via extremely flammable balloons). This delight of a book reveals the immense importance of gases to modern civilisation.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, March 2022'Inspiring insight from the world's top coach...Goldsmith left me tingling from the journey of reflection I'd been taken on' Bruce Daisley, author of The Joy of Work*********Our lives reside on a continuum that roams between 'fulfilment' on the one end and 'regret' at the other. Where would you place yourself right now? And where do think you should be?In his powerful new framework, the worlds' number one executive coach Marshall Goldsmith explains that there are eight 'satisfactors' that impact our position on the scale. These are happiness, meaning, purpose, achievement, engagement, relationships, health and wealth. And he shows how creating equivalence between (a) the choices, risks and effort made in pursuing the satisfactors and (b) the reward received for doing so, moves us towards fulfilment. Drawing on examples from his work coaching the CEOs of the world's largest companies, he lays out three simple steps; living your own life, becoming a 'one-trick genius', and committing yourself to 'earning' every day to show how we all have the power to be fulfilled and to live the earned life. *********'The advice in this book can help you keep on achieving and, at the same time, do a better job of finding peace and happiness in the process' Amy C. Edmondson, Harvard professor and author of The Fearless Organization

Why "hopeful pessimism" is not a contradiction in terms but a powerful source of moral and political commitmentThe climate debate is rife with calls for optimism. While temperatures rise and disasters intensify, we are asked to maintain optimism and hope, as if the real threat is pessimism and despair. In this erudite and engaging book, Mara van der Lugt argues that this is a mistake: crude optimism can no longer be a virtue in a breaking world, and may well prove to be our besetting vice. In an age of climate change and ecological devastation, the virtue we need is hopeful pessimism. Drawing on thinkers that range from J.R.R.Tolkien and Mary Shelley to Albert Camus and Jonathan Lear, van der Lugt invites us to rethink what we thought we knew about optimism and pessimism, hope and despair, activism and grief. She shows that pessimism is closely linked to a tradition of moral and political activism, and offers a different way to think about pessimism: not as synonymous with despair but as compatible with hope. Gently yet fiercely, van der Lugt argues that what we need to avoid is not pessimism but fatalism or self-serving resignation. Pessimism does not imply the loss of courage or the lack of a desire to strive for a better world; on the contrary, these are the very gifts that pessimism can bestow. What Hopeful Pessimism asks instead is that we strive for change without certainties, without expecting anything from our efforts other than the knowledge that we have done what we are called upon to do as moral agents in a time of change.

In The Unbuilt Bench, David Peterson argues that the scientific study of the mind and human behavior is a different sort of epistemic activity than the work of the natural sciences.
