    Augmented

    Augmented

    Hardback met stofomslag in zeer goede staat. Kopsnede deels verkleurd. Verder netjes. Engelstalig.

    The Internet and smartphone are just the latest in a 250 year long cycle of disruption that has continuously changed the way we live, the way we work and the way we interact. The coming Augmented Age, however, promises a level of disruption, behavioral shifts and changes that are unparalleled. While consumers today are camping outside of an Apple store waiting to be one of the first to score a new Apple Watch or iPhone, the next generation of wearables will be able to predict if we're likely to have a heart attack and recommend a course of action. We watch news of Google's self-driving cars, but don't likely realize this means progressive cities will have to ban human drives in the next decade because us humans are too risky. Following on from the Industrial or Machine Age, the Space Age and the Digital Age, the Augmented Age will be based on four key disruptive themes - Artificial Intelligence, Experience Design, Smart Infrastructure, and Health Tech. Historically the previous 'ages' brought significant disruption and changes, but on a net basis jobs were created, wealth was enhanced, and the health and security of society improved. What will the Augmented Age bring? Will robots take our jobs, and AI's subsume us as inferior intelligences, or will this usher in a new age of abundance? Augmented is a book on future history, but more than that, it is a story about how you will live your life in a world that will change more in the next 20 years than it has in the last 250 years. Are you ready to adapt? Because if history proves anything, you don't have much of a choice.

    Collateral Damage

    Collateral Damage

    Mooi exemplaar. Paperback als nieuw. Engelstalig.

    The term ‘collateral damage' has recently been added to the vocabulary of military forces to refer to the unintended consequences of armed interventions, consequences that are unplanned but nevertheless damaging and often very costly in human and personal terms. But collateral damage is not unique to the world of armed intervention - it is also one of the most salient and striking dimensions of contemporary social inequality. The inflammable mixture of growing social inequality and the rising volume of human suffering marginalized as ‘collateral' is becoming one of the most cataclysmic problems of our time.

    For the political class, poverty is commonly seen as a problem of law and order - a matter of how to deal with individuals, such as unemployed youths, who fall foul of the law. But treating poverty as a criminal problem obscures the social roots of inequality, which lie in the combination of a consumerist life philosophy propagated and instilled by a consumer-oriented economy, on the one hand, and the rapid shrinking of life chances available to the poor, on the other. In our contemporary, liquid-modern world, the poor are the collateral damage of a profit-driven, consumer-oriented society - ‘aliens inside' who are deprived of the rights enjoyed by other members of the social order.

    In this new book Zygmunt Bauman - one of the most original and influential social thinkers of our time - examines the selective affinity between the growth of social inequality and the rise in the volume of ‘collateral damage' and considers its implications and its costs.

    Gedachtevrijheid...

    Gedachtevrijheid versus godsdienstvrijheid

    Paperback in goede staat. Lichte gebruikssporen.

    De Nederlandse filosoof Spinoza is volgens Jonathan Israel de eerste en meest radicale verlichtingsdenker. Met Spinoza startte een nieuwe periode in het denken over de verhouding van godsdienstvrijheid en de vrijheid van meningsuiting. Israel keert zich fel tegen de opvatting dat de vroege Nederlandse verlichting van Spinoza meer in harmonie met de godsdienst was, dan de verlichting van de Franse philosophes. Als ideeenhistoricus ziet hij het als zijn plicht dit soort uitspraken over de verlichting tegen te spreken. Ze zijn volgens Israel niet alleen geschiedkundig volslagen verward en onjuist, maar ook politiek en sociaal uiterst schadelijk .


    Jonathan Israel is hoogleraar Vroegmoderne Geschiedenis in Princeton en schreef onder meer The Dutch Republic: Its Rise, Greatness and Fall 1477-1806 en Radical Enlightenment; Philosophy and the making of modernity 1650-1750.


    Inger Leemans, docent Cultuurgeschiedenis aan de Faculteit Letteren van de Radboud Universiteit, Siep Stuurman, hoogleraar Europese geschiedenis aan de Faculteit der Historische en kunstwetenschappen van de Erasmus Universiteit, Rotterdam, en Marin Terpstra, docent sociale en politieke filosofie aan de Radboud Universiteit, reageren in essays op de ideeen van Jonathan Israel.
    De bundel verschijnt naar aanleiding van de Thomas More Lezing, een initiatief van het Soeterbeeck Programma van de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen.
