Paperback. Condition: Good. Verkleuring. Lichte sleet aan kaft Dutch Ilya Prigogine en Isabelle Stengers onderzoeken hoe het moderne wetenschappelijke wereldbeeld verandert wanneer natuurprocessen niet langer uitsluitend als voorspelbaar en omkeerbaar worden beschouwd. Vanuit de thermodynamica bespreken zij systemen die ver van hun evenwicht verkeren en waarin spontaan nieuwe vormen van orde kunnen ontstaan. Begrippen als dissipatieve structuren, fluctuaties, instabiliteit, zelforganisatie, tijd en toeval spelen daarbij een centrale rol. Het boek verbindt ontwikkelingen in natuurkunde en scheikunde met bredere filosofische vragen en pleit voor een nieuwe dialoog tussen mens en natuur waarin verandering, onvoorspelbaarheid en creativiteit een fundamentele plaats krijgen.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is concerned with two intimately related topics of metaphysics: the identity of entities and the foundations of classification. What it adds to previous discussions of these topics is that it addresses them with respect to human-made entities, that is, artefacts. As the chapters in the book show, questions of identity and classification require other treatments and lead to other answers for artefacts than for natural entities. These answers are of interest to philosophers not only for their clarification of artefacts as a category of things but also for the new light they may shed on these issue with respect to to natural entities. This volume is structured in three parts. The contributions in Part I address basic ontological and metaphysical questions in relation to artefact kinds: How should we conceive of artefact kinds Are they real kinds How are identity conditions for artefacts and artefact kinds related The contributions in Part II address meta-ontological questions: What, exactly, should an ontological account of artefact kinds provide us with What scope can it aim for Which ways of approaching the ontology of artefact kinds are there, how promising are they, and how should we assess this In Part III, the essays offer engineering practice rather than theoretical philosophy as a point of reference. The issues addressed here include: How do engineers classify technical artefacts and on what grounds What makes specific classes of technical artefacts candidates for ontologically real kinds, and by which criteria.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume features 16 essays on the philosophy of technology that discuss its identity, its position in philosophy in general, and the role of empirical studies in philosophical analyses of engineering ethics and engineering practices.This volume is published about fifteen years after Peter Kroes and Anthonie Meijers published a collection of papers under the title The empirical turn in the philosophy of technology, in which they called for a reorientation toward the practice of engineering, and sketched the likely benefits for philosophy of technology of pursuing its major questions in an empirically informed way.The essays in this volume fall apart in two different kinds. One kind follows up on The empirical turn discussion about what the philosophy of technology is all about. It continues the search for the identity of the philosophy of technology by asking what comes after the empirical turn. The other kind of essays follows the call for an empirical turn in the philosophy of technology by showing how it may be realized with regard to particular topics. Together these essays offer the reader an overview of the state of the art of an empirically informed philosophy of technology and of various views on the empirical turn as a stepping stone into the future of the philosophy of technology.…
