Recenzii
’In seeking to understand the human condition, we can reach out to particular disciplines. This book is different. Coming from varying traditions, the authors take us on a fascinating journey through mathematics, biology, truth, the mind, brain, human interaction and online gaming. The result is a highly illuminating discussion that will appeal to philosophers and social and physical scientists.’ Tim May, University of Salford, UK
Descriere
A response to complex problems spanning disciplinary boundaries, Worlds of ScienceCraft offers bold new ways of conceptualizing ideas of science, sociology, and philosophy. Beginning with the historical foundations of civilization and progress, assumptions about the categories we use to talk about minds, identities, and bodies are challenged through case studies from mathematics, social cognition, and medical ethics.
